{The Hamm Family} Sneak Peek

Introducing the Hamm Family! What a sweet and beautiful family. It was so nice to meet you all. Here's your sneak peak... And the first shot, a feet shot. :) Look at those cute toes all covered in sand. Yup, we played in the water beforehand and then got all good and sandy.


Walking the beautiful beach of St. Augustine.




The whole Hamm Family! :)



The kiss.


Sweet Bella and her beautiful smile and soulful eyes.



Handsome George - I totally love his hair and big brown eyes.


Bianca gave me the sweetest faces and I just love her missing tooth. So telling of her age.


And here's the siblings together. The girls are wearing the hats that I crochet for them. I'm so glad that they fit you both! I hope you are enjoying your new hats! :)

Thank you Hamm Family for a great session. You are a wonderful family and I really enjoyed meeting you all. The rest of your images are waiting for you in your online viewing gallery. Password emailed.

Three more sessions to go!!! Thanks for your patience. I will be designing more custom greeting cards and will be adding samples to my website soon. Have a great day!

{The Rogers Family}

Introducing the beautiful and fun-loving Rogers' Family - Lori & Steve and their children Lex and Carly! Their session was on the gorgeous beach of St. Augustine and we had fun! It was such a pleasure capturing this family as they have the most well behaved children that I have ever photographed.

There's a special bond between a brother and sister. This shot melts my heart and makes me think of the sweet days of my childhood with my twin brother, Brendon. A forever friend.

One of my favorite things to do is to capture teamwork and families "in action". They say, "a family that eats together stays together." (old proverb or something right) But I think, "a family that runs together smiles together!"

Just cuteness.

Yah, so I asked Lex if he could give his sister a piggy back ride and after he got her up she well, went back down! They laughed at their silliness and I just couldn't resist their laughter. Sometimes things don't turn out as you had planned and instead turn out even better!

Beautiful coastal girl...

and her dashing bro...

**Warning** What you are about to see may be allarming.... No one was injured in the next picture. :)

Ok, so Steve's Grandma was visiting the family and delighted us by posing for some extended family shots. I asked Grandma to sit in a chair and have the family fill in around her. So I set the chair on the hillside and sit in it to make sure it is sound. Then Steve comes over and holds the chair for Grandma to test it out and he pulls this little stunt! Oh my! LOVE IT! So, Steve I can tell you have a big sense of humor! And Grandma, your smile is fantastic in this shot!

And, here's the shot I was after.... Everyone with their feet on the ground. :)


Thank you Rogers' Family for a fantastic session! I had alot of fun and I know I keep saying this in all of my entries but I just enjoy this so so much! Meeting everyone has been such a pleasure and I get so exciting going through your images and finding these treasures. So, without further gabbing... your gallery is ready and your password is emailed soon.

Just four more sessions to go! If you've been waiting thank you for your continues patience. Your session will be arriving soon. I hope you have enjoyed viewing your friends images while you wait.

Have a nice day!

{The McRae Family} Sneak Peek

This is my second year shooting in Florida in October and I was so pleased to have the McRae family sign up for a session with me. So, here is re-introducing the McRae family.... And as you can see, little Bella (18mos) is on the run. She sure does keep her parents on their toes! She was full of smiles and bright eyes oh yeah and loads of personality!

And yes, Daython I didn't forget you! Daython is a member of this lovely family and I couldn't leave him out. So, here you go.

Happy is as happy does! Yes, the world is all about you Bella! Such a sweetheart.

Bella has one of the nicest and caring father's I have ever met! He is so attentive to her and I think you can see that she has his heart in the palm of her hand.


Just cuz! I love a good smooch!

Play hard!

Mom standing on the otherside of this gate and dad standing behind Bella. Bella felt "so big" and enjoyed pushing the limits peeking and stepping through the railing to look down at mom below. She is one happy little girl!

Thank you McRae family for another great session! I hope to capture you for many more years to come. The rest of your images are in your online viewing gallery on my website now, email with password in your inbox.

Just five more sessions to go!!! Weeeee!! Isn't this so fun? I hope everyone is enjoying the sneak peeks while they wait.

{The Howell Family} Sneak Peek

My third florida session sneak peak. Meet the Howell family! We met up at a local waterfront park and the clouds were out and the wind too but that didnt stop us! No no no... we still had fun and played! They brought the coolest props...scroll on to see!


I've always wanted to photograph a Weim. :) This guy was BIG and demanded a center stage shot, meet Winston. He was one mellow fellow and totally digged being with his family.

The best part of photographing families is capturing the deep love and connection between them. My favorite. :)

Nancy & Steve have two very beautiful children. Meet their daughter Shelby. Oh my her curls and big bright eyes are TDF! She was a little model for me and showed me a few of her runway poses. Such a little sweetie.

Here's her little brother Tyler. Such a cutie and a bit on the ticklish side too. ;) I love the natural faces of little kids.

Family tickles...


Just horsin around for me. Thanks guys! See, you look adorable.


When I arrived in Florida we were driving around and I saw a new Jeep and told Jodi that I wish we could have one for a photoshoot. Just then, she said her neighbor just got one! I thought, NO WAY! And sure enough, we were scheduled to shoot and he brought his new baby. Took the top off and pulled it up to the waters edge. Thanks Steven! What a fun new toy you have! I'd love to see it on the beach. ;)

Thank you Howell family for coming out and posing for me! The rest of your proofs are ready and are in your online viewing gallery, email password to follow soon.

Keep checking back in the mornings for the upcoming sneak peeks from my Florida sessions. See who I post tomorrow! :)

{Devin, Marvin & Delaney} Sneak Peak!

Another sneak peek from the Florida photo sessions! Here's introducing baby Delaney and her proud and adoring parents, Marvin & Devin! This family of three was too cute I tell ya! They were all smiles and playful and we had a great time at the beach! Ok, so I wanted to take little 1-year-old Delaney home with me but I thought her parents would kinda notice since she's their pride and joy! And, so, sadly I let them take her home. ;)

Melt-your-heart Brown eyed girl!

Ok I think she has ballet in her future. Look at her perfect legs!

I love this shot. I'm calling it... "Coastal Baby"... Love the wind in her beautiful locks.

Yeah baby, we had fun!

I love feet, it's true. And a family pile up of feet is the best and perfection with the smiley faces that wear them. :)

Thank you Devin, Marvin & little Miss Delaney for a wonderful beach session! The rest of your images are available for your viewing pleasure in your online viewing gallery, an email with password is in your inbox. :)

Happy Weekend!!!!

{Tara & Greg} Sneak Peek!

Introducing the first of 9 family sessions that I had in Florida last weekend. Meet Tara & Greg and their one-year-old Golden Retreiver pup "Buddy". Buddy is a beautiful dog with bounding energy. He keeps Greg and Tara busy that's for sure and he is so fortunate to have such active and loving parents. During my visit I saw Buddy join his parents on a bike ride several times. We had our photo session at St. Augustine Beach where we were able to drive our vehicles right on the beach. So handy! We lucked out with the weather as last week was all rain and clouds with occassional sunbreaks and Saturday being the longest sunbreak! Yay!

Thank you for allowing me to be apart of your day Tara & Greg. You are a beautiful couple and I had a lot of fun with you. Your gallery information will be emailed shortly.

To my other Florida family sessions: I will be proofing a family per day and will have another family up on my blog tomorrow. Stay tuned for your family sneak peek coming soon!

They were so fun! I asked Dana if he would hold his hands in this triangle shape and I told him it was the way that Morpheus held his hands in the movie during one scene. I was surprised and delighted that Dana and the gals remembered the hands too! A very powerful pose. For those of you that don't know the movie "The Matrix" it begins with computer text dropping down the screen as if on a TV or monitor. Hence the addition of the Truman Real Estate Group text in this image. And for those of you that don't know. The most powerful shape in photography is the triangle. :)

I'll leave you with a Matrix Theme song (click here).

Trumann Real Estate Group - Sneak Peak

Introducing the Trumann Real Estate Group (Left to Right:- Debbie, Dana, Patty)
Yesterday I had the pleasure of photographing them in the beautiful harborside village of Yarmouth, Maine. We had a great time and they were alot of fun to work with and thankfully the weather cooperated. They are a great team and I am happy to say that they served my family well in aiding us in our out-of-state house-hunt back in May of this year. The best real estate experience we have ever had! I highly recommend them.

This group was so much fun and willing to play along with me allowing me some creative shots. They were not shy at all about jumping into my request. And, of course I just couldn't resist! So, here's a little teaser.... check back here tomorrow to see just where my creativity has taken the Trumann Group!

Thanks for a great session! The rest of the session images will be available on Tuesday, October 7th in your online viewing gallery on my website. :)
