Barbara and Paul’s Wedding

This couple has one of those great love stories where they met earlier in life, went their separate ways and led separate lives, then reconnected years later and realized they were meant for each other.  They greeted guests at a cocktail hour, then tied the knot in a beautiful backyard ceremony, surrounded by family and friends.

Ice Cream Mini Sessions Day 3

And last but certainly not least, I’m excited to share the photos from the final day of Spring Ice Cream Mini Sessions at Sloan’s Ice Cream in Lauderdale by the Sea. 

First up were an energetic brother and sister.  Their mom is excellent about having stunning portraits taken of them on a regular basis, so the pressure was on for me to deliver equally awesome photos.  Given the environment, and since I know mom has lots of classic portraits, I aimed to bring out and capture their natural personalities in some playful candid shots.  I also really love the playful selective color in the first image that really makes this little girl’s outfit pop!

Next up was a family who has their photos taken a little less often, so were a bit more shy in front of the camera.  We got a good mix of portraits and candid shots.

Third was a mom and her daughter who are celebrating similar birthdays, along with mom/grandma.  I just love to capture multi-generational family photos.  These girls were all about the love, and it shows in their photos.  I wish I had pictures like these of me with my kids and me with my parents!

How cute is this family of four!?  I am still swooning over these boys in their bowties!

And rounding out the morning, I had the pleasure of capturing one of my childhood friends and her family.  The last time I photographed them, the little guy was only 6 months old.  He’s grown quite a bit since then.  He was playful in front of my camera, which I was thrilled to capture.  I’m also happy to have documented his first ice cream cone!  Don’t worry, he’s not deprived and he’s had ice cream before.  This was his first time holding his own cone though, and digging in face first.  Until next time…
