New Year, New Look....Finally!

So I've been working on my new Web site for months now and I'm finally ready to reveal it! I was looking for something that would really display my images big and bold the way they should be. It took me about three times as long to get it done, because of my first and most important job, being a Mommy!

Babies, Zebras and Horses!

About a week ago, I got together with some friends for a group shoot. Everyone brought their adorable kiddos and we met at a friend's ranch. Kay has a zebra, two horses and a mini horse. The bigger kids loved feeding the animals and we loved the location for taking portraits. It had a cool horse stall, wooden fences and plenty of tall grass.

Mickey Mouse and a Family Vacation

I had the privilege of taking portraits of the Coffey family while they were here on vacation. What a fun place to spend time with your family. Bickie contacted me through a friend of a friend (which I still need to find out who that is and thank them) and I was so excited to have the opportunity to meet them and take their portraits. We met early down at Disney's Old Key West Resort and everyone was in a good mood despite the early meeting time. Thanks for allowing me to spend time with you all!

My Hottie Hairstylist

Bobby and I did a quick portrait session before my hair appointment yesterday. He wanted to update his newsletter photo and we took a few more for fun! I keep telling Bobby he should be a model. What do you think? ;)

By the way, if you're looking for a fantastic hair stylist, contact Bobby. He works at Vamp Hair Studio and they've just moved into their new location in Thorton Park.

Sunday in the Park Group Mixer

Yesterday we drove to Auburndale which is just before Lakeland to meet up with some fellow photographers. We've been friends with these gals for a couple of years now, and we all make an effort to get together about twice a year. Everyone brought their little cuties and it was fun and mayhem all over the place.

I grabbed a couple of quick shots of the other gal's babies but was mostly obsessed with my little man and adorable husband. After all of the hoopla, we all needed to cool down so we had some yummy ice cream. This was Dylan's first taste of ice cream and I think he is certainly hooked! He wouldn't let me take a bite of my own ice cream after he got a taste.

He was just looking so cute today that I had to snap a few pics.

DeeDee and Jon: Engaged

So Jon and DeeDee met through Match.com and DeeDee knew this was the right guy when he brought her daisies to the first date. There's a guy that really pays attention! You couldn't find a more perfectly matched couple! They are both so easy going and fun.

DeeDee and Jon are flying to Costa Rica this week to get married on the beautiful beaches and enjoy all that Costa Rica has to offer.

We spent about four hours this last Saturday getting portraits with their three dogs, lounging at the Grand Bohemian in downtown Orlando, then frolicking in the park at Baldwin Park.

Congratulations to both of you, and I'll see you when you get back!

Dylan's Six Month Portrait

So we all made a trip to the Grand Bohemian downtown. I'm shooting Jon and DeeDee's engagement portraits there tomorrow, and I thought I'd take a test shot using my reliable model. He was due to have his six month old portrait anyway. Todd thinks he looks like a little rock star hanging out in the hotel bar.

A New Family is Born

Congratulations to Doug and Tennille on the arrival of their little girl. Danielle didn't want to come out so they had to encourage her to come and join the world! She is a precious little girl and cooperated so well for her first photo session. She had to take a break to eat because all of the modeling wore her out. Thank you for allowing me to capture these special moments of your new family guys!

Mommy and Me

I met Kim last year through a Mommy's group that she created and we were pregnant at the same time and both due in December. We also toured the Winnie Palmer hospital together along with our husbands. I'm so glad she asked me to do portraits of her with her little girl. She is a precious little girl and so sweet tempered. Thanks Kim for allowing me to capture portraits of you and your daughter.

Five Months...Umm...More Like Five and a Half Months!

We've been so busy lately that I didn't get to Dylan's five month portraits so let's call these his five and a half month portraits! In a couple more weeks he'll be six months old. This past week he sat up on his own for the first time. We took some video of the big event. He's sitting up in one of these portraits, but it was only for a second before he fell over! He's also rolling around everywhere and wants to stay busy playing with toys. He's definitely become the ladies man too because he loves to smile at all of them. I can't believe how much cuter he gets everyday!
