Baby "M" in the oven :)

Here is a sneak peek of a dear family friend, Tammy and her hubby Tom, with baby "M" in the oven! lol These guys are doing the impossible, and waiting to see if they'll be blessed with a boy or a girl but either way this little ones name will begin with "M" :)

It's getting very close the the arrival date, so I hope to hear the news soon.

Thank you for having me up to Toronto to capture these images for you, I truly hope you love them!! xo

Rae Marie

OMGosh! Meet baby Rae. A sweet Rae of Sunshine! My daughter Sarah and I had so much fun with her at Wall Springs Park. It was a couple weeks ago, before the yucky cold snap we have now. This day was a perfect spring day, sunny, cool and crisp outside. I forgot just how much fun it is to play at the park with a 15 month old!!

Gavin

Meet Baby Gavin!
Here is the sneak peek that I'm sure mom and dad have been patiently waiting for :)
We had a fun time capturing these images. It took a little while to get Gavin to sleep but it was well worth the wait, as always.

I hope you love the images!

Happy Friday! Hope everyone is enjoying the cool weather! Here is a sneak peak from a great beach session last week. This session was a long time in the planning, thank you for your patience :), but I think it was worth the wait. We captured some awesome photos! I can't wait to show them all to this beautiful family!

Wow, just as always the season has snuck up on me...again! How about you?? Geez Halloween is this weekend!! That means Christmas is just around the corner :)

Good news is... it's not too late, I have been able to find a day to offer a Holiday Mini Session for those of you have been after me to do so :) The date will be this coming Sunday, November 1st on Clearwater Beach from 3-6 pm.

I have kept the cost down for everyone again this year. Mini Session will still be $325 and they include it all! Enough time to capture great shots of the family and kids, 50 custom holiday cards! AND the full res CD for you to keep!

This session will be a perfect choice for those of you who are just looking to grab a few great shots of the family or just the kids for your Holiday cards. I would like to have all print and product orders places by Nov 15th to guarantee holiday delivery.

Keep in-mind there are only 6 available times for this Mini Session, so if you are interested you'll have to act quickly. The timing is actually perfect, weather is still gorgeous and there is still lots of time to get those holiday cards ready to send out.

Getting a jump start to the holiday photos!!!
Hope everyone has had a smooth start to the school year. Life is back to ,what I see as normal, schedules and routine :) I am sending out the best of wishes to all the kids for a safe and successful year!
This is a great time to get a head start on your family photo for the holidays. Seems crazy now that it is still 100 degrees outside :) But, before we know it the holidays will be here! The Bemis family has the hardest part under their belt! The photos have been taken!! lol We had a great night out at Crystal Beach. What a great spot to enjoy the sunset. I think the whole Crystal Beach community was there enjoying the night, even to pooches!!!
Here is a sneak peek of the Bemis Family, enjoy!

**Great Holiday Mini Session Special to be Posted** check back soon :)

More or Aiden and Brooke

Here are just a few more.. :)

"Ok ok, that's enough!"

Aiden & Brooke

I once again had the pleasure to photograph Brooke & Aiden the other day. They are now 5 weeks old and growing beautifully. Amazing how fast they begin to change. We tried and tried for what seemed like all afternoon to get these guys to sleep but they would have no part of that :) At least not for too long and not at the same time, lol. However, we were still able to capture a few precious images, here is a sneak peek. Enjoy

Brooke pretty in pink.

Aiden, just hanging around, lol

~ love the toes

Aiden & Brooke

Could there be a better job than this??? I could spend everyday photographing new little ones. I had the privilege to capture a few precious moments with Brooke and Aiden at one week old. This was an extra special session because I brought my daughter Sarah along with me. Sarah was an awesome assistant! With twins an extra couple hands is a must! These little ones were quite the juggle. We had mom and dad and Sarah and I all working hard to get the both of them to sleep at the same time. All the hard work was well worth it, we captured some beautiful shots.

Here is a sneak peek, enjoy!

Graduation Day!!

Hi Everybody!! Sorry it's been so long since the last post. The end of the school year is always crazy and usually catches me off guard and this year was no exception. In fact this year was waaaay crazier than any other year. Our oldest son, Ryan, graduated from Palm Harbor University High School, Medical Program last Wednesday!! What a wonderful moment, as many of you know I am such a mush and this was quite the bitter sweet week for me. The goal is to raise the up to be happy, healthy, self confident, self motivated, independent, considerate and compassionate people. I am so proud to say, I believe we have met the goal!!

Ryan will be heading off to University of Central Florida at the end of this month. I haven't told him yet that I have volunteered to be the dorm mom!!! LOL just kidding!!!

Here is Ryan with my niece Marli. Marli graduated from Taron Springs High School the same day!!! Lucky for us Ryan was in the morning and Marli was in the evening, so we could attend both ;)

Somebody stop the clock!!!

My oldest son, Ryan, is graduation this year!!! I am so not ready, but I am working on it. This past weekend was prom, all the kids looked so amazing! It was so fun to see all the kids. Kids that Ryan met so long ago now all grown up, fine young men and women ready to take on the world! They are all strong and filled with confidence. I truly wish them all the most success!! Over the next few weeks of school, before graduation, the schedules are very full. The dinners, the banquets, the rehearsals for graduation and then of course the big Graduation day, during this time I pray that we can slow down the rush of our daily life and really enjoy our children.

Here are a few photos from the last weekend, casual photos and prom night...enjoy
