the mcclellans

i am overdue with this post.  posted their preview before Christmas.

i loved this session.

enjoy.

love the next one.  i got down on the yellow lines, and quinn figured she was supposed to do the same thing.  she is so inquisitive and i love that about her.

little beauty.

i love it when i catch an image like this next one….SO indicative of life with small children (dad is being poked in the eye while mom straightens baby’s shirt).

are they not gorgeous together?!

mcclellans, thank you so much for the opportunity.  i had alot of fun getting to know you better and i feel honored that you asked me to photograph you.

the cousins family (jupiter family photographer)

we’ve known this family for several years and it’s been fun to watch their family grow (and it has grown QUICK!  baby girl #3, who is due in a few weeks, is the third in 3 years!  sister #1 and #2 are just about a year apart and they are too cute together).  christine (mommy) had the great idea to do some shots in the gorgeous master bedroom.  i’ve been around these girls several times, but they’ve never seen me with a camera and they were seriously checking me out.

then we headed outside.

this is her more seroius side.  didn’t come out very often.

after we attempted some group shots, christine had more great ideas.  she basically just let the girls do things they like doing and let me take their picture doing it.  so fun!

after they played, they got their reward: to sit at the bar and eat cookies!

The M Family: Preview

these guys live across the street…pretty much my daughters’ dreams come true to have a fun little girl living in a house they can look at while they eat breakfast.  i had a great time getting to know them a little better and they made it easy on me because they are ALL ridiculously good looking.  more in a week or two, but here are a few of my favorites for now…

(i think those two kinda like each other.)

The Cousins Family (and Christine’s belly!): Preview

the kruse family (preview)

more soon!  (ryan & jenny, i had so much fun!!)

hadleigh is one!! (south florida family photographer)

it was such an honor and so much fun to photograph this sweet little girl over the past year.  even though i have 3 kids of my own, i am still blown away at how quickly they grow and change during the first year.  bill and sally, thank you so much for trusting me to photograph your first baby.

we met at 7 AM on a sunday morning for this session.  it was an absolutely gorgeous morning, and not another soul on the beach.  hadleigh was loving every second of it (until we tried to slow her down).

like i said, she was loving it.

and then she was DONE.

More Buerkes…

this is my brother and his family…had a mini-session with them one night while we were at the beach.  (once again, these were taken just about a month ago….still playing catch-up.)

BFR 2010: Part 2

i am SO behind.  these were taken on august 8th.  good thing i haven’t had much business lately. 

mini-session one night with my sister’s family…here are a few of my favorites:

lovebirds.

token jumping shot.

silly daddy.

definitely one of my top 5 favorite beaches.

BFR 2010: part 1

our family’s annual week at a sweet beach house in sebastian is at it’s mid-point.  here are some of my favorite images from the first half of the week.

morning one, hour one (approximately 7:15 AM). 

lots of fun, impromptu, creative playing going on.  my nephew built this tower and he was SO proud of it…wouldn’t let me walk away until i took like 6 pictures of it. 

had a mini-session with my sister’s little family.  hopefully be posting more later, but this was one of my favorite images from that.

lights of my life

we were at a condo in new smyrna beach this past week with ryan’s family.  i didn’t have my camera out all that much, but i did take it one night when we headed down the road to eat, and afterward went to a playground.  some shots of my precious kiddos…
