Family fun with the "L" Family

Sunday "fun days" at its best with the "L" Family at the FIT Botantical Gardens is where I spent my September evening. Spending time with sweet Ava - 9 months old and her handsome/most polite brother, Chase - a 3rd grader was an instant sense of calmness for me. I've been shooting weddings all year round and has been at least 7 months since I've worked with families/children; I was then quickly reminded how much laughter children bring to any parent's heart [eager to get home to my 3 yr old for some cuddles]. Mom and Dad brought reinforcements for Ava.....Grandmother; Gmom did a wonderful job getting Ava's attention as so did Chase :+) While Gmom was attending to Ava, I was able to sneak Mom and Dad off for a few minutes of couple portraits. Thank you all for a fun evening of laughs, lots of smiles, jokes and memories!!!

Carl & Keesha's, "A red affair to remember" themed Wedding

In the beginning of July, Carl and Keesha tied the knot at the St. Lucie Botanical Gardens.  The couple planned for an initmate ceremony and reception with their closest and most dearest friends and family.  Both Carl and Keesha are childhood friends of mine, so when they asked me if I was interested in being their wedding photographer, the answer, without a doubt of course, would be "Yes"! The decor was red and white,  making a bold statement from a bride who knows exactly what she wants.  The dessert table offered various cakes and cupcakes of different flavors which the guests loved!  During the reception, Carl and his oldest daughter whom I've know since she was a baby, shared an incredible emotional "father/daughter" dance that brought tears to all in attendance. I wish you both a lifetime of happiness as you begin your marriage together.  Thank you both for allowing me to have been apart of your special day!!

Zaklina & Alex's Engagement Session

Zaklina and Alex, my 1st engagement couple of the new year.....and my......it was a memorable one! Zaklina, a European goddess with the most amazing green eyes that could make any mans knees fall to the ground accompanied with her Latin lover, Alex whom had me laughing half the photo shoot with a great personality.  Zaklina and Alex.....both filled with passion nevertheless, with the location picked by the bride couldn't have made their engagement shoot any less romantic than it was!! I'm thrilled to have the opportunity to be apart of their wedding in April 2011 in Palm Beach Gardens.  Thank you both for an amazing session :+)
