The Nephews

During Parrish and Jonathan's engagement session, I managed to squeeze in some shots of her adorable nephews and they were so fun I just had to post them! Enjoy!

Mitzel Holiday Session

I shot the Mitzel family holiday session last year, so I was so happy when they contacted me to schedule another session for 2009. This year we shot it in Ocala, Parker has grown into full toddler stage, which made the session both entertaining and a little exhausting for mom and dad! But, in the end we were able to get some big smiles from little Parker, as well as some more serious expressions, I think he might be headed towards a modeling career :) Enjoy some of my faves from their session.

Keeghan's Newborn Session

I shot Jenn's maternity session about a month before Keeghan arrived, you might remember the posting.....baby Keeghan arrived just in time for the holidays, so we combined her newborn session with the Hatchett family holiday session. She was pretty cranky in the beginning, as newborns tend to be, but once we gave her a chance to snooze she was much happier! She's a gorgeous baby, just like her big sis, Holland, who has the most amazing eyes. Jenn was very stressed and convinced we didn't capture a single worthwhile image, so she was pleasantly surprised when I showed her the results from their session :)

Todd & Carly's Engagement Session

I shot Todd & Carly's engagement session this past Sunday. We had gorgeous weather with a fabulous breeze and beautiful sunset lighting at the end of the session. Todd is a firefighter so we started the session at the fire station to get some fun shots with the firetrucks, which we definitely did as you'll see below! Todd and Carly are good friends, and although it took some coaxing, I was able to get them comfortable in front of the camera. We captured some beautiful, natural images that I love. You can't beat Fall light if you time it right! Can't wait for the wedding next June you guys :) Thanks for spending the afternoon with me! Enjoy some of my faves from the day below.

Last shots of the day, definitely some of my very favorites!

Jenn's Maternity Session

I shot a maternity session last Friday with Jenn and Tony. Jenn is very close to giving birth to her 2nd baby girl, although you'd never guess it just by looking at her. She has a tiny little belly! She's gorgeous and glowing like a pregnant lady though :) We had hoped that Holland, soon to be big sister, would cooperate and join in for some of the photos, but she decided she wasn't interested that day, so we pushed on and I was able to capture some beautiful images of the mama to be and her loving hubby. I will be shooting baby Keeghan in a few weeks once she makes her appearance, look for that blog posting. In the meantime, I've posted a few of my faves from the session below. Enjoy!

What beautiful light we found!

Michael's 1st Birthday Party!

I shot baby Michael's 1st birthday party a few weeks ago. What a little button he is!!! And he had some adorable guests as well :) I have been shooting with baby Michael since he as born. I love having a first hand look at how they grow and develop into little people! It is the best part of my job. The party had a pirate theme and turned out super cute! Mom and Dad did a great job getting everything together to make it a special 1st for Michael. He reaaaallllllllllyyyy enjoyed his birthday cake, he ate all the little frosting dots first. He went at it for a good 15 minutes or so! Enjoy a few of my faves below!

Michael walking between mom and dad is one of my very faves from the day!

Check out these cuties!

Happy grandparents!
