Little P3 has a cake load of fun at FIT Botantical Gardens

Little man Peter, also known as "P3" is officially turning the big ONE this weekend!!!! He is quite a captivating child with dreamy brown eyes, locks of hair and a smile that would melt any Momma's heart :+) I've been waiting to meet this lil guy for quite some time now.....since he was in his Mommy's tummy growing and so glad I had the opportunity to document his 1 yr old portraits. At the time of P3's session, he was transitioning from crawling to walking, but as of last week.....I'm glad to say, "he's a walker!"  Towards the end of the session, the cake made its debut to say the least! The parents and I just had to laugh......Peter didn't want to eat the cake, lol!!! Oh well....in the meantime I snapped away as the expressions were priceless!!!  A big "Thank You" to Mommy and Daddy for everything....I look forward to seeing P3 very soon! Happy 1st Birthday little man :+)

 

Welcoming Baby Eli

Welcome Baby Eli to the World!!! Congratulations to Tony and Katie on giving birth to your sweet preciousness.....Katie was referred to me from a past client and I'm sooo glad that they brought her my way! Currently, I've been hired to shoot "documentary style" and I'm totally digging it!!! I think I may have found my niche! Baby Eli's session was shot over the course of 2 separate days only due to being a newborn. The parents were so relaxed as "I took over as a parent" to photograph their little man. Eli was so expressional as he "cooed" and smiled throughout the session. Both Tony and Katie were so relaxed during their session as I didn't pose any time restrictions and more importantly, I wanted them to "focus" on being parents and being "in the moment". The time I spent with your family was unforgettable.....thank you for allowing me to document your lifestyle with your sweet little man, Eli.....xxxoo

Baby Jackson 's Newborn and family shoot

Baby Jackson is in full effect!!! I've had the opportunity to document his newborn photos at 7 days old. A big thank you to a great friend of mine, Deanna from www.gingersnapcrochets.etsy.com whom crochet some of Jackson's props. At just one week old, this little guy is so alert and aware of his surroundings! Jackson was named after his late Great Grandfather whom was a firefighter and so proudly served his community. As a wife of a Firefighter, I was honored to incorporate my husband's helmet into the photo shoot. The nursery was decorated in a Firefighter theme as well and included newspaper clippings of his late Great Grandfather's service. Just a few weeks later, I returned to their home to document their family photos.....oh sooo many laughs! Their daughter Ava, sweet little ginger spit fire who will most definitely make a mark in the world! And there is handsome Chase....easy on the eyes and I'm glad to have had the chance to watch him grow into a fine young man over the past few years. Spending time with this family is and always will be memorable. I look forward to watching your children grow into little people.....it warms my heart to pieces!!!! Thank you again for inviting me into your home.....xxxoo   

Ellie is 1!

Sweet little Ellie has turned 1 years old and she is ready to take on the world! This little princess is full of life, smiles, giggles and not to mention......she has her Daddy wrapped around her little finger. Ellie is quite the expressional little lady with her many faces and gestures which I'm sure she inherits from her parents since they are quite goofy themselves! Happy Birthday sweet Ellie and I look forward to seeing you at 2 years old!

A Thanksgiving to Remember

The Thanksgiving holiday is known for a time of giving and showing thanks; the W & S family did just that during their holiday weekend.  Family travelled as far as California to spend time with the Grandparents, siblings, aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews.  What a fabulous time I had capturing their memories as each family was unique in their own way; everyone had a great sense of humor which makes my job easier!  At the end of the day, they're family......and what are families for???  Thank you to the entire family for an evening full of laughs and memories!

 

 

 

Balloons of Fun!!!

Last week I had the pleasure to spend some time with the cutest brother and sister along with their family in Cocoa Beach.  This particular family visits me once a year and I'm privileged enough to have watch them grow over the last 3 years!  Sweet Avery and handsome Grant.....can I say "cuteness overload"?????  I was having the best time playing around with these two sweeties -- even better that my child is around their ages, so I felt right at home. The whole family was involved in all of the fun including Grandparents and Mom! Lots of love, hugs, cuddles and kisses were shared ---- which I absolutely love the most about capturing family portraits. I look forward to see the family again next year and making new memories!!!

Callie's Trip to Brevard Zoo

Sweet and precious 2yr old Callie....suddenly I remember how busy toddlers are at this age! I've been photographing Callie since she was a few a months old and she gets cuter and sweeter every year! Having her photoshoot at the Brevard Zoo was a perfect location due to her love in safari animals. She especially enjoyed the deer and bird feeding exhibit as she was so gentle and fragile with the animals. Callie is so full of life and her beautiful blue eyes awaken as she gets to experience each new day along with new adventures!

Lori & Tom's Jensen Beach Wedding

Lori and Tom traveled along with their children from Michigan to unite their family as one on the beaches of the Treasure Coast. It was a far better choice to leave the snow, boots, scarves and mittens at home to enjoy the South Florida weather. Lori, whom is a very dear friend of mine asked me to photograph her wedding just shortly after she was engaged and of course I could only say, "Yes"!  It was such a delightful sight to see her so incredibly blissful and of course meet Tom :+) The ceremony was beautifully decorated with tropical flowers and shells. The family had invited me to lunch on the river to celebrate their marriage and oh so yummy cheesecake! Afterwards, the pictures continued on the golf course and concluded with a run down the river --- it was an amazing day! Lori and Tom, congratulations on your marriage and I wish you endless happiness in the years to come!

Baby Ayden

Welcome to the world Baby Ayden!!!!! Of course, I'm at a loss for words at how much I adore this sweet little bundle of joy :+) Ayden's parents are very dear friends of mine and I couldn't wait to meet their new love when they asked me to photograph his newborn pics. Ayden's Father is a LT. Firemedic and what better way to introduce him into the world of firefighting! Of course, there is Ayden's Mother...she has the patience like no other as she soothes her 1st born in her arms into a deep sleep for most of the images. I loved every minute of Ayden's newborn session ; brought back so many memories of when my first newborn came into the world. Congrats on your newest love and  thank you for the wonderful opportunity to capture Ayden's first month of life!

Summer time fun

One of the reasons why I love my job is that I have the opportunity to watch little people grow :+)  This is the 3rd family shoot I've had with the Ellis Family in the past few years. I've had the pleasure of watching Alana grow from a toddler into a beautiful little lady and Landon from just a few weeks old into a stud muffin! I watched and ran (lol) after the little ones as they explored Rykman Park in Melbourne Beach. Thank you to the Ellis Family for the memorable moments, as I always look forward to seeing the munchkins grow up!
