Testing...

Yesterday I met with a couple, that will be getting married this Sunday, for a test shoot. The wedding will be taking place at the beautiful Brookgreen Gardens. I'm looking forward to working with them - and wish them the best!

A few previews from our time together ~

Another Graduate...

Saturday I had my last Stork Club session with little J -- another that is growing up way too quickly! We met at the gardens and had fun exploring. I had my work cut out for me as she was on the move and was oh so curious about everything around. It was getting dark quickly, so we had to work fast.

Here are a few captures from our time together~

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABY!!!!!

Ohhhh, today I met up with one of my little Stork Club babies who just celebrated his first birthday! I know I say it all the time...but these little buggers grow up so dern fast!! He was all about exploring. No flowers for him....but the rocks were a big hit, ha ha. My shutter speed was working it's magic as he was fast on his new found feet! Our last session together I got all serious expressions...so I was VERY happy to get some smiles this time.

Very soon, little B will be a big brother -- as his mommy will be expecting in about 3 months!

Congratulations and Happy Birthday little man!!!!!

Beautiful Sisters...

Today, I finally had a chance to photograph my two niece's. They are so beautiful...but growing up way too quickly!! Love you girls :)

A few more of my baby girl...

We took a few more pics for her portfolio....and I just loved these and thought I would share! Little Miss Diva, lol.

A family Affair....

This afternoon I met with a family of 11 at their beach house in Surfside. What a beautiful group they were!! 6 adults and 5 kiddos. We had a lot of fun, despite the fact that we froze the little ones. Started off with them in short sleeves and quickly put them in matching sweaters that their Grandma made for them (the cutest sweaters might I add). It wouldn't have been so bad - as it was in the 70s today - but the wind was what was chilly!
Anyway, here are a few previews from our time together! Hope you guys enjoy the rest of your vacation!

One foggy morning

This morning when I woke up, I looked outside to see a field full of fog. I got the kids up, fed, and took my son to school. Since I took Sydney out of school until August, I jumped on the opportunity to get some pictures. Got her dressed, grabbed some props, and rushed outside. By the time we were ready most of the fog had lifted :( and the sun was starting to burst through. I'm still happy with what we captured. I still can't believe how quickly these munchkins grow up!A little vintage finish with texture and border

They DID...and it was beautiful!

Ohhhh, I just love weddings! Today I had the pleasure of photographing a wedding for a wonderful couple. It was originally planned as an outdoor wedding...but the weather has just not been cooperating this entire week. They had to move the ceremony indoors due to the threat of thunderstorms. We did get to shoot the formals outside as the storms held off...and I'm THRILLED that we were able to!

Obviously, I have not had time to go through ALL 700 images...but here are a few that caught my eye. CONGRATULATIONS to the new Mr. and Mrs. Gauthier! I hope you guys have a blast in the Bahama's.

Dark and Gloomy...but no WIND today!

My couple from yesterday and I tried again today. This time we met at Pier 14. It was so gloomy and the fog was rolling in...but, we were happy that the wind was not blowing us over. I really wish the weather had been better for your vacation!!!
Here are some from today!

"I don't think we're in Kasas anymore, Toto"

Whew, I tell ya...the weather has been giving me fits lately! This whole week has just been icky...and today was just plain confusing!! Started out pretty nice out. Partly cloudy, in the 70s. I talked with my couple this morning and we had planned on meeting around 5:45 as it was supposed to turn overcast. Well, I gave them a call around 3:30 as the clouds rolled in, the temperature plummeted and the wind started blowing.

We decide to move it up and meet at 4:30 to beat the weather. Riiiiiiiight, when I got on location the wind was blowing SO HARD I could barely stand up!!!! They called and asked if we should wait and see what tomorrow held. I was already there, so told them to come on down and we'd just play, lol. It was interesting to say the least...and I felt like I was torturing. I'm glad I did though!! They are the cutest couple and were awesome to work with, even with the elements. Thanks guys for giving it a shot!

We will be shooting more tomorrow, but here are a few from our insane weather mini-shoot, ha ha. (Used some new actions that I felt worked well with the day).
