Little Olivia

I got to spend a few hours on Sunday with Miss Olivia for the first time and we had a blast! She immediately warmed up to me and we were off! Outfit changes, bubble playing, throwing balls, and finally swimming with daddy showing me that she is definitely not afraid of the water. She was SO great to photograph, I could have stayed there all day! Thank you so much Mom & Dad for allowing me into your home and to spend a few precious hours with little Olivia! Here is a quick sneak peak of some of my favorites!

Baby Kady Ann

When I saw this little girl's precious little face from photos her proud parents took at the hospital, I knew I had to photograph her! She is just a little over a week old and had to endure hours of me and my camera and did it with such grace and elegance. I think she's a pro already at this :) I can't thank her wonderul parents for allowing me the privilege of photographing her for the very first time. She is beautiful!!

I love sleeping babies! Look at that mouth!

These are the sweet moments I absolute love. I wait for these and they're priceless.

I think this is one of the coolest nurseries I've ever seen!

More nursery details. The bottom left photo is the custom-made chandelier!

Annabelle and Austin

I was so excited to photograph one of my favorite little girls today, Miss Annabelle!! I was honored to photograph her last June when she turned big girl Two. Now she has a new baby brother, Austin!! He is the sweetest little guy. I could photograph newborns all day; just so tiny and so precious. Here is a sneak peak from today, more to come so check back! (Tech specs: these were all done indoors using beautiful natural light, no flash)

I got a smile!

How sweet is this??! (pretty much straight out of the camera)

Austin and his beautiful mommy

I am the Big Sister!

Daisy's Children's Boutique & Toy Store

UPDATE: I blogged this back in November and the 2nd photo was used in the December 11th "Style Section" of the Orlando Sentinel by Jean Patteson!!! Here is a scanned photo of that day's paper! How exciting!!!

One place I am honored to be affiliated with, and someone who I cannot speak highly enough of, is Daisy of Daisy's Children's Boutique & Toy Store in Historic Downtown Winter Garden. Daisy is an amazing lady who has the cutest boutique and toy store that all the kids and moms love. If you haven't stopped in, you must! I stopped by her boutique on Saturday and did a few shots of two sisters and local child models, Jessica and Ashley, wearing some of Daisy's adorable outfits. Jessica and Ashley can be seen in commercials, billboards for Busch Gardens along I-4, and lots of print. They are SOO CUTE and so great to work with!!! These clothes are being featured in the Style Section of an upcoming Thursday edition of the Orlando Sentinel. I will let you all know what day it will be coming out so you can be sure to check it out!

Happy 2009!!

What an amazing year 2008 was for me! I was honored to photograph some of the most beautiful families and gorgeous children ever! I traveled all over the country and was fortunate to meet and photograph along side some of my favorite photographers whom I admire so much. And I was extremely blessed to photograph some celebrities and very well known people (sorry, I'm under contract and can't name names!), had one of my photos published in the Orlando Sentinel, was selected as "Artist of the Month" by Infusion Tea, ran into Brad Pitt on the streets of New Orleans, and worked with some amazing companies such as Cavichi, Daisy's Children's Boutique, Playground Magazine, Pain Solutions Magazine, Posh Parenting and Dream Balloon Productions. I hope 2009 is every bit as great as 2008 was! Here is a slideshow of some of the images from this past year (couldn't fit them all in). Just press on the arrow to start and turn up your speakers.

Alyson

I have been so completely swamped and sleep deprived, I haven't had a minute to blog one of my favorite little girls, Alyson! I photographed Alyson last December and you can see how much she has grown into such the little young lady. I just loved her adorable outfit! Thank you Miss Alyson for being so patient!! I hope you have a great holiday and can't wait to photograph you again!

Ryan, Nick & Alyssa

Back to blogging, I might get caught up one of these days :) I was so excited to photograph three of my favorite kids on the planet again! I have been watching them grow for over 5 years now and I can't believe how big they've gotten. I told them that they have to stop growing, they are just getting too big... and way TOO CUTE. Thanks you guys for letting me hang out with you again. You did such an awesome job! Here's a couple of my favorites:

Seriously, how cute is Alyssa??!

Luv this. Total Nick look.

Just caught Ryan before he let the rubberband fly

My Nephew

He's back!!! This little guy has been missing from my blog for quite some time, and to no fault of my own. My nephew, Zach, has had it with Aunt Suzie and her camera and has not let me photograph him in forever. But he's actually starting to come around again and let me take some photos of him. He's gotten SO big, hasn't he??! We managed to get in a few holiday photos in front of the giant tree at Uptown Altamonte.

Elizabeth & the Twins

I might actually get caught up on all my blogging by the end of the year! Here's another holiday mini-session with gorgeous siblings! I have been blessed with lots of twins lately and how cute are these two?!?! I just love photographing them and watching them interact, its the cutest thing. Thank you to your mom and dad for letting me spend some time with you and capturing a few moments with you! Here are just a few of my favorites:

I just love the golden afternoon light

I've got bubbles and I'm making my get away!!

Dale & Tammy + Five

I am convinced that I have the MOST gorgeous clients! This is another example of a beautiful family that I was honored to photograph recently. They braved a chilly Florida morning for me and were an absolute joy to work with. Thank you Dale and Tammy for allowing me the honor to photograph your gorgeous family!
