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

Toes in the sand ;)


The more time I get to spend with Riane and her mom the more fun we have! We took another shot at the beach portion of Riane's senior session due to the crazy wind we had last week. As you can see from this little "sneek peak" Riane is a beautiful girl and I see great things ahead for her after graduation ;)

The big Sister!!

What a complete bundle of joy big sister, Tianna is :) From the moment I arrived it was all smiles. Our goal was to capture both the new baby, Michael and Tianna together in one image. sounds easy right??? Well, trust me it was a bit of a chalenge. I managed to get a few and I sure hope you like them.




{I love how Tianna is holding Michaels hand}

Baby Gianni

Meet Gianni~ 11 weeks new



Oh my, what a sweetheart this little guy is. Just as my luck seems to go, Gianni was wide awake when I arrived. We captured a few shoots before we tried to get him to sleep. It took a little while to get Gianni off, he just needed his mama special touch :) Once he was off...he just let us mold him what ever way we wanted. As always it was a fun shoot :)

Here's a sneak peek from the session! Enjoy

How sweet is this little family?? Love it :)

Custom Graduation Announcements!!

Yes, it's graduation time...already. Every school year seems to pass by too quickly but, this year has been the fastest. Maybe I feel it more because I have a senior graduation this year, even as a write this I am in disbelief! The good news is our son is ready, excited and just can't wait. I am going with the idea that that means we did our job. On a personal note, I am certainly not ready, not ready to see him leave home. Geesh...I could go on and on here...sorry :)

It's Grad Time! this means great custom announcements!

There are all kinda of sizes and styles ~each style design just for you!

Here is the newest design form Riane's session, let me know what you think!

Senior fun in down town Dunedin

Monday night was so much fun! I met with Riane and her mom down town Dunedin. Our original plan was to begin at the beach however, the wind was crazy so we ventured into town for some great shots. There is quite a few cool areas downtown.

We'll give the beach another go later this week :)

Here is a sneak Peek of Riane's shoot. enjoy
