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 :+)

 

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!

The "L" Family Fall Portraits

One thing I love most about the Fall season is the colors and the change of weather! The "L" Family scheduled there 2nd annual family portraits at Ryckman Park in Melbourne Beach. It's been almost a year since I've since Ava and wow, what an independent personality she has!!! She definitely runs the show at home and has Daddy wrapped around her itty bitty finger :+) Chase, such a handsome young man he is developing into who is all about sports with a million dollar smile! Of course, the parents...what can I say?? They are busy chasing Ava around, lol! Spending the evening with the family was quite a treat and required running shoes as I was chasing Ava everywhere. Thank you all for a lovely portrait session and I always look forward to next year!

 

 

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!

The Craig & Ruff Family

The Craig and Ruff family invited me back again to take their annual family portraits in Melbourne at a local park on the river. Avery and Grant, the 2 cuties with amazing eyes and charm have grown so much since I saw them last year, especially with Avery walking now!! Its an amazing experience as a parent to watch children bloom into their own personalities. Avery, very much a "Daddy's girl" and Grant a "Momma's boy" was such a sight to see as they connect with their parents in their own way. Judi and Jim, locals to Brevard have such an amazing connection together and are always filled with smiles and laughs - makes me enjoy my job so much more! Avery and Grant's parents along with their children had traveled from Texas for vacation; as you can see, the children are blessed with their parent's beautiful features! Thank you all for a fun family session, its always great to see you and I look forward to seeing you again next Summer!!!

Audrey

Audrey's 1st yr old photos were taken on 4/21/10 in Rockledge Gardens. This sweet little girl happens to be the daughter of a very good friend of mine, needless to say....I was thrilled when her mother asked me to take her 1st year old photos. Audrey is quit the Diva....she had 2 costume changes that included a pink/orange tutu! In addition to her sweet face....might I add that she has striking blue eyes!!! Thank you Audrey, Dylan & Audrey for a fun afternoon with the flowers!
