Handsome 8 year old

So I had the privilege to photograph this handsome, charismatic and adorable boy. He was posing for the camera and even flirting with a girl in the studio. I instantly had a connection with his mom and I hope they all had as much fun with this shoot as I did. Little brother was so cute I had to add him in that shot and even took a handful for mom.

Thursdays Shots

Isn't this girl gorgeous, I seriously want her eye color. Beautiful.

I love shooting these girls...such funky styles!

:) Another Update

Hey guys, I am so sorry. I know I said I was back and though I have done a handful of shoots I have not edited or blogged them. Without sounding dramatic and scaring any of my readers I have been really sick. Just when I thought I was better I got worse, way worse and spent a lot of time on Friday at the Drs and the hospital. I don't really want to share the details on the web, but I am ok and it's nothing I won't get better from. But tomorrow morning I'll be posting a big all in one post of the last 3 sessions I did in the last two weeks. I've barely been able to leave the house and become a bit of a couch potato.

:)

Tomorrow I'll post all my fav shots. I also have some sessions this week I didn't cancel so you will see even more.

Thank you so much for checking on me and writing me and leaving me comments. I have readers I didn't even know about and it makes my day.

Update

Hi everyone,

I know I was a little vague in my last post as to why I would not be available but I couldn't write where I was going because my friends fiance surprised her for Valentines/Wedding Shower. I was her gift. She is one of my best friends for 14 years and she had no idea I would be there to spend the weekend with her. I had a blast and was sad to come home to snow. I had a rough time getting home due to cancelled flights and bad weather, then I got sick at the airport and ended up in bed for 3 days. I cancelled all my shoots for last week and will be getting back into the swing of things this week.

For all those who left messages and I just returned your calls I am so sorry. I could barely talk, anyone who WOULD get me on the phone could not understand a word I was saying. I was so tired having only slept a collective of 5 hours in my entire 4 days trip in Florida and all the chaos of the airport I was in bad shape.

I am feeling much better and excited for all my shoots coming up in the next few weeks. Stay tuned.

Thank you so much for all the sweet messages and for missing me! I love Sara B's message. Made my day!

Unavailable

I will be unavailable by phone and email. I will get back to everyone on Tuesday.

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

3 Fun and Beautiful Kids

This first one is their beautiful mom.
















These kids were so easy to photograph, we did lots of wardrobe changes and included all their hobbies and individual personalities. I loved every second. I hope their mom loves these too and of course the cool kids.

Family/Engagement Shots

I got together with this hot couple and their kids for a mini family and and engagement session. I loved the way this couple looked through my lens and I was so glad when I got home and had so many great shots to look through. It was worth the coldest wind I have ever personally experienced in my life. I couldn't grip the wheel when I got into the car so I had to stay in it while the heater worked for 10 minutes. My hands were purple and shaking. But so worth it. ;)

O, and the gentleman in this shot was a natural model. It is so hard to get men to relax during a shoot and he did great. Thanks for making my job easier!
