(some of our family travel books at my house)

going to the dogs

Every once in a while, I photograph a dog session….they are ALWAYS for families who spoil their dogs with the best of everything, including custom artwork (and I love that!). Dogs are a lot like kids too…super fun, silly, and real. They are also both motivated by treats and toys. Dogs get worn out a lot quicker than kids though;)

backyard shoot

This shoot *almost* did not happen because the sky kept threatening rain…but the cloud cover made for amazing light and I was so glad we went ahead as scheduled. I love all the images from this session so it was hard for me to pick a few to preview…but I am saving my super favorites as a surprise for Caroline and Bradley’s parents!

glowing

Back in my brief wedding photography career, I had the pleasure of working with this wonderful couple…and like many of those couples, their family is growing. I don’t post a lot of maternity here…but they are so cute, I just cannot resist!

on the green

After our shoot at the Bear’s Club, Will and Christian showed me their amazing driving talents…and they are really good! (Personally, I like to stick to wii golf unless I get to drive the cart.) We were lucky with the perfect overcast evening weather too…the rain began just minutes after our shoot was over as the kids drove off to their ice cream shop reward for being such good subjects for me. A little bird told me they were getting extra sprinkles~

colorful

I love babies in bright colors (and mom’s who wear cool orange shoes too)! Olivia came by today for an in-between session without her big brother…she had newborn shots, but mom wanted to capture this fun & chubby time before Olivia grows even more. I’m sure next time I see her, she will be going places on her own!

four daughters in the house…

Poor dad….he is SO outnumbered! But these girls are wonderful…especially the oldest who is a college student at University of Miami and was my go-to contact for the entire portrait process! I have lots of images of the two middle sisters too, because they were so lively…even though this was a newborn session for Miss Joey, who was born just three days ago, on MY birthday!

family fun

I see this family at least three times a year, so we are very good friends…and I love that because our shoots are so fun and easy. These kids are NOT afraid to be themselves! So, when grandma and grandpa came to visit from Australia, I was so excited to shoot the kids with them. Then, seeing grandma on a scooter….I was not disappointed!

fresh

Newborns are the absolutely best. Thank you to all my wonderful clients for making these lovely babies!!

back to work

Summer vacation is over and I am back to shooting…which feels GREAT. A few babies were born while I was away, so that’s where I will begin…here’s a brand new little man, 2 weeks old and sweet as can be. And, how cool is his name, Maverick?
