Alivia is Five!
Finally, after photographing her brother and sisters, I got to have a session with Miss Alivia! She likes pink cupcake frosting and modeling (obviously). Do they get much cuter than this? I don’t think so!
And Baby Makes Three
I don’t normally do a lot of newborn sessions. They’re not really my “thing”. So with little man Jett, I decided on a lifestyle type of shoot. The beauty in this is in the simplicity and reality of the pictures. So relaxed and easy. Mom and dad already look like old pros. He’s such a blessed little boy, and doesn’t even know it yet. Excuse the sheer number of pics; it was just too hard to choose.
It’s a Boy!
This was so much fun! I can see why the baby reveal party is becoming such a trend. Not even mom and dad knew! I was presented with a sealed envelope, and the rest is history. This is such a wonderful family, and they are being blessed with a baby boy. Congrats, y’all!
One and Only
Oh to be one again. It would be socially acceptable to publicly devour chocolate cake sans utensils…*sigh*. I suppose restaurant owners would tire of the mess, and our dry cleaners wouldn’t be very happy either. Dangit! Thankfully, Baby G knows nothing of social rules just yet. Bring on the chocolate cake!
Very Very Merry
If you’ve followed this blog at all, these will be some familiar faces. My best girl, Mabel, and her family had their annual session with me, and they just get better by the year! I love them all so much, and look forward to many many more family portraits.
Handsome Lil’ Man
Oh how I want to snuggle this little buddy! It was hard to put him down long enough to take his picture. He was so sweet and so chill and all smiles. He has future aspirations to play for Florida State (obviously). No matter how big or tough he grows up to be, I hope he stays just as sweet.
Baby Love
What’s not to love about this? Sweet little lips, little toes, little eyes and ears….sigh. You just want to bury your face and inhale the sweet baby-ness. ❤ ❤ ❤
Brotherly Love
I was called by a mom who would be visiting the area for the day, and wanted to prepare a wonderful Father’s Day surprise for her husband. Her boys were such sweeties and really stole my heart. Those eyes were just too much!!
My Funny Valentine
Happy Valentine’s Day!! How precious is this??? We’re not just celebrating Valentine’s, it’s also her first birthday! And what would a birthday be without cake? 🙂 I was so happy to share this fun day with such a sweet little funny Valentine.
Itty Bitty Pretty One
One thing I love about my job is meeting all the little ones. They all have such cute personalities and are each quite unique. This cutie pie was no exception. So well mannered and calm it was hard to believe she’s a toddler. I didn’t have to chase her even once. It didn’t do much for my workout routine, but she sure did make me smile. 🙂
Just Another Lovely Day
And it truly was. That perfect Florida fall afternoon. The subjects were equally lovely. The little miss was a cutie patootie! So much energy and personality wrapped up in a precious little package. Mom had that baby glow, and dad was just as proud and handsome as he could be! It was such a lovely day with lovely people. Thank you for letting me capture your family!
Welcome Fall
It’s official! The first family fall session. And what a gorgeous family!! I can’t think of a better way to start the most lovely time of year than capturing these images. These girls are such cutie pies. How can you resist those pretty little faces??? Let’s not forget mom and dad…wow! Such a good looking couple. I’m so privileged to be able to be their photographer. So here’s to them and here’s to fall. Thank goodness it has come to visit us again. We’ve missed you. 🙂
What Little Boys are Made Of
Check this handsome fella out! We had a wonderful afternoon at Oaks by the Bay, and he really kept me on my toes. With his trusted puppy, Scout, by his side, he covered every square inch of the park! 🙂 His mom was so sweet and charming, and we just enjoyed watching him be a boy!
There Was a Little Girl Who Had a Little Curl…
Funny how certain circumstances bring people together. I was on a photo prop hunt at local yard sales one Saturday morning with absolutely no luck. However, the last stop was pay dirt! A couch, a suitcase, and an old typewriter. Photographer gold!! Also, I met this lovely lady and her daughter. We set up a session for the daughter’s little girl who was about to turn two. WOW! What a cutie! I so loved her sparkle and her constant state of busy-ness. I’m so glad I stumbled upon their wares that morning and had the opportunity to capture this pretty little girl and her pretty little curls. ❤ 
A Study in Scarlet
As most of you know, I have a wonderful friend, Mabel. We’ve done a few sessions with her new baby, but this is the first formal shoot with her oldest. She’s such a sweet girl and a great friend to my own daughter. She is a real bookworm, so Books by the Sea was a perfect backdrop. We happened to look over and see a copy of a Sherlock Holmes book, “A Study in Scarlet”. Could it be more perfect??
Thank Heaven…
Well, you know the rest. 🙂 This little girl was so very precious. We took our time and had a couple of sessions to get everything just right. I think I secretly just wanted to spend more time with her and her lovely mommy. Thank you both for some wonderful “girl time”.
Colorful
Here we are again with the beloved Sammy. He has just turned one! It’s hard to believe that our first session was six months ago. He is still just as precious and sweet. We went to the park in the middle of the day for the sunny, colorful backdrop. To my very pleasant surprise, when I was editing this session there were some really stunning black and white pictures, too. Who knew?? Either way, he’s still pretty colorful.
Oh, Sweet Little Man…
What can I say about this precious boy? That’s it. He’s just precious. He’s got such a wonderful mommy and daddy it was pretty much inevitable, right? We had a great day and just took our sweet time snuggling in between setups and shots. He was such a good sport. Poor little guy had quite a day. It’s tough being a super model!
Milestones
I guess it’s a rite of passage for all photographers, but the newborn shoot seems to be pretty standard fare on their upward spiral to the ultimate shoot….the wedding. So here it is…the milestone.
This was a pretty intimidating experience; not an occasion one would want to screw up. However, it would be near impossible to take a bad picture of this little beauty! She was so easy going and alert for the “awake half” of the session, and slept like an angel for the “asleep half”. It was really an honor to be trusted with this little one’s first official time in front of the camera. Hopefully by the time she reaches the wedding milestone, I’ll be there, too. Thanks to you, Marley. Thanks to you.
The First Day of the Rest of Your Life
Well, actually, this was the second day (because someone forgot the memory card on the first day…doink!). Meet Ryan. Isn’t he precious? Since this wasn’t an “official” session I wasn’t planning on blogging about it, but just can’t keep it to myself! We’ve been waiting for this gorgeous little man for what seems like forever. He finally made his grand entrance, and this won’t be the last time you see this sweet face. Hopefully he will be gracing this humble blog for years to come. Welcome to the world! 🙂
Everyday Heroes
Yes, they are. Aren’t all parents? There is so much love wrapped up in these two for this precious little boy, it is nothing sort of heroic. You can see how much he’s loved and how much he loves them in return. Seems appropriate that they would be decked out in their favorite super hero gear.
There were so many wonderful shots from this session it took forever to finish editing, but it was worth every minute! So here you go. It’s the Mini-Man of Steel to the rescue!
Deja Cute
Remember this little guy? He’s baaack, and this time he brought mommy and auntie with him. This was a special session for Sammy’s grandma who is battling stage four cancer. His mommy decided to do some family pics to lift her spirits. I’m sure he always makes her smile. 🙂 We’re praying for her, and I hope this helps brighten her day just a little.
I’m sure there’s enough cheeks to go around.
Could anyone resist those eyes??
A Sammy Disposition
People seem to randomly say, “That’s such a happy baby!” Well, THIS is the very definition of a happy baby. He is so calm and pleasant and sweet, and truly has a sunny disposition. For this shoot he changed clothes at least five times, it was very hot, and there were gnats everywhere. Mommy and I complained…Sammy did not. His smile was absolutely genuine from start to finish. What a joy! 🙂 Also, it was his first day of sitting up by himself. WOW!
Brace yourself, folks. Here comes a whole lotta cute.
Can you stand it???
Dapper little man
Cutest dude in the universe 😉
Beautiful Selflessness
We met this lovely couple several years ago in our search for a good church youth program. My son immediately took to Andrew and I was impressed as well with his dedication to the ministry and his longing to make the Word personal and accessible to the huddled, acne-ridden, identity-seeking, teenage masses.
He and his lovely wife were blessed with a beautiful baby girl, and as you can see, there is absolutely no shortage of cuteness! They have recently been called away from our fair city to a new ministry, and we will miss them very much. Thank you both for your beautiful selfless service, and may God bless you in your new home. 🙂
This face says it all!
Mommy love. ❤
The “walking-away-black-and-white” shot…it might be cliche, but it’s still pretty cute.
I love this one because you can almost see the heart in the picture (hint: her elbow is the bottom point). Very sweet.
