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!

Megan and Sean's Rockledge Country Club Wedding

Megan and Sean were my last wedding of the season and my most memorable of the year. Their wedding took place at the Rockledge Country Club in late September in the presence of their family and closest friends. During the ceremony, Sean's nephew carried a sign that read, "Uncle Sean, here comes your girl", how fitting for a couple that has been together since high school! Meanwhile, there were a few bridesmaids that were shedding a few tears as Megan walked down the aisle with her Father.  Megan and Sean couldn't wait a second longer to seal their nuptials with a kiss as their guests cheered with happiness :+)   The entertainment and uplighting was provided by, "DJ Shane" from "DJ Shane Entertainment".  Dancing, laughs, memories and a personal slideshow dedicated to Megan's Mother was shared amongst their guests. The end of the reception concluded with a "bright and sparkly ending" for Megan and Sean as they had a grand exit of sparklers that lead out to their getaway limo! Congratulations to Megan and Sean on your marriage; I wish you all the happiness in the world as you both start your newest chapter in your lives. Also, I would like to  thank my 2nd shooter Indica for helping me out during their wedding.

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!

Liz's Senior Session

It's Senior Season for the soon to be Viera High Graduate!!! Elizabeth, truly a beautiful young woman with such captivating eyes! "Liz", quite the busy teenager, was able to make some time for me to take her Senior portraits out of her busy schedule in Cocoa Village. One of Liz's many talents is that she performs as a Hip Hop dancer and her team was awarded National Champs.  We were talking about "high school and boy stuff"....wow, did I feel old????  Congrats Liz on your upcoming achievements - I wish you the very best in your future! Thanks again for the past time memories and a great portrait session!!!!!

The "Story" of a Lifetime Wedding

Mr. and Mrs. Brian & Liz Story celebrated their "Love Story" at the lovely Duran Golf Club back in early June. I've had the pleasure of working with Liz over the duration of the last year as she planned her wedding; a remarkable woman, mother and past service member I must say, that has provided me with encouragement as my husband was on military orders the past year. She has truly left a mark on my life and grateful that I've had the opportunity to tell her "Love Story". Its apparent that Liz is quiet the beauty in addition to her daughter whom have provided me with the perfect opportunity for "Mom and daughter" portraits which left me in tears of happiness.  With Liz standing at Brian's side, they were as if there was no one else in the room watching them.  Brian, indeed a soulful man with a heart of gold, has created the perfect "Love Story" for his best friend. Thank you both for an amazing day that was filled with love, happiness, tears of joy and lots of smiles :+) My very best to you both as you start your journey together......

1950's inspired Engagement Session

Its not everyday that I get the opportunity to be apart of "themed" photoshoot, but when Jen and Matt tossed the idea around of a 1950's themed shoot - how could I refuse???? Jen and Matt's E-Session was taken over the course of 2 days, thanks to mother nature's lovebugs!! We had the opportunity to have some real 1950's fun by enjoying milkshakes and dancing to the tunes of the jukebox. As a note, the 1957 Chevy Bel Air is authentic with all of its original parts!! Jen and Matt are planning a late July wedding in Cocoa Beach and can't wait for their special day to arrive. Thank you both for a wonderful E-Session and I'll see you next month :+) 

Ashley & Rick's Maternity Session

Ashley and Rick will be expecting their first child of early February 2011....and boy, oh boy....is Daddy more than excited to have his own football player!!! Ashley just entered her 7 month and without a doubt, was eye candy to my lens. They both wanted the "Chicago Bears" attire and how cute are they tossing the football back and forth??? So....whats with the ice cream and maternity book??? Well....as new moms to be....we take advantage of the midnight cravings whether its staring at the refrigerator door to indulging chocolate ice cream or reading maternity books whether it scares us or not, especially the epidural chapter! Thank you Ashley for giving in to my wacky ideas....I had a blast : +) Congratulations to you both on the upcoming arrival of your first child; he will melt your hearts!
