Kristina, Mike, Madison, and Jacob

This adorable family wanted holiday photos.  Holiday photos have been keeping me very busy, and since all my afternoon spots were full, we scheduled a morning shoot.  I was a little worried about how the lighting would be at that time of day, but we were rewarded with lovely lighting.

In my previous holiday shoots, I had a family that wore holiday outfits, and another mom that brought a small tree.  Both looked great, so when I saw this little tree and little ornaments in Target, I had to get them for my holiday shoots!  Having never gotten either a tree or ornaments before, I had to ask how to hang them on the tree.  Another kind shopper directed me to hooks, which I purchased.  But when I got home and tried to hang them on the tree, it looked silly.  Since the branches are wire based, I was able to shove the ornaments onto the end of them for a cute photo prop.

         

Stephanie and Carlos Save the Date

These two will be getting married in the Spring in Central Florida, and scheduled a shoot with me for their Save the Date. Shooting at Tradewinds Park was new for me, and it was awesome, as we found a ton of great photo spots. Congrats Stephanie and Carlos. I'd be happy to drive to the Orlando area to capture your wedding, too!

     

Shanise’s Maternity Session at the Beach

Shanise's sister contacted me to schedule her session. They're planning her baby shower, and wanted some beach pictures of her to display at their nautical themed party. This was my first one on one session, and it was fun bonding with this expecting mommy. This is my favorite beach, because in one small circle, there are so many great photo spots! The small boardwalk onto the beach, the rocks, the grass, the water, and the boats and ships that pass by all add interest to sessions here. Congrats mama to be - I hope to meet your little one soon!

         

Erica, Manny, Aiden and Dylan’s Holiday Shoot

I had the pleasure of taking photos for Aiden and Dylan's modeling portfolios a few weeks back. They were a fun family to work with, so I was excited when Erica called me to schedule holiday portraits. When they got out of the car at the park, I was struck by how well they pulled off a holiday feeling with their outfits - don't they look great?!

        

Aiden and Dylan

Aiden and Dylan's mom, Erica wanted some new photos of her boys for their portfolios, so we met at the park and got creative with finding ways to get the boys together to smile.  I would say we rose to the challenge!
