Baby Landon

isn't he sweet? Baby L is the biggest baby I have photographed to date, besides my own. He weighed in at 9lbs 4 oz!!
I love how wrinkly he is and his chubby cheeks are so sweet. He fought us on the whole sleeping idea but we were able to get him to doze of long enough to get all the shots we wanted. He wanted to make sure he didn't miss anything!! His mommy is such great energy. She was so upbeat and energetic and so excited about everything... I loved it! I wish I had that much energy all the time!
I had so much fun with everyone and I am so happy with how the session turned out!
I can't wait to watch this little man grow!

who else

is ready for Christmas?

Baby Noah is here!

One thing I love about my job is seeing all my clients expand their families and watching those babies turn into toddlers and then big kids. It is so rewarding, I am not sure that people realize how much that means to photographers. It is as if you become a part of their family...

I met Mandi and Colby when they got married and now they have welcomed their new baby boy. As soon as I walked into the house you could feel all the love for this little guy... He has so many people that care about him and would do anything for him. He weighed in over 8llbs and is a great eater, so he basically slept the ENTIRE session. What a dream! He let me move him and squish him and mold him how ever I wanted... I think he looked at me like I was crazy once.
Congrats on your new baby, I love him! Check out the pee shot! Mandi stayed calm the entire time! hahaha
I think I am suffering from a really bad case of baby fever after this session! hahaha
*Beware* I couldn't pick a favorite...

I got to see one of my good friends this past weekend to photograph her daughters 6 month session.
I saw Ariah last the day she got home from the hospital, and boy she has changed so so much! She is so smile-y and chunky chunky chunky. I love her so much! She smiled the entire session, except when she was taking a quick smile break to zone out. hahaha
I had so much fun with her, and can't wait to see her again!
I hope you love them Jenn!

GHS '09

This was a really fun session. Lauren was up for anything!! All she wanted was a brick wall for her senior session. Once I saw the hoodie and matching shoes, she brought I instantly knew I wanted to do something funky and fresh like the IPOD commercials... and she was up for it!!! I do think she might have thought I lost my mind a little bit.. especially when I gave her a little example of what I was thinking. Hey, I never said I could dance!!!
She is a varsity cheerleader at Gainesville High so we had to get some shots with her cheerleading gear as well as a very special shot of her class ring and a necklace very special to her entire family.
She is so beautiful and doesn't take a bad photo. I hope you love them Lauren!

Katie - 2 months

Look at this sweet baby girl already smiling so big at 2 months old... It has been a while since I have photographed a baby this age, mostly because I see my babies brand new and then again when they are a bit older. This is a fun age because they are just really smiling for the first few times and noticing how big this world is. This was such an easy shoot because Katie is the youngest of four so she is super laid back...

Mr. and Mrs. Rhea

these two got married last night at St. Anne's and had their reception at the Omni Mandalay Hotel. It was a blast! I think people were still partying hard at 2 a.m. I haven't even made it half way through all the images I took but these are some of my favorites so far. I kind of bounced around through them but the ones I have seen I LOVE.
The whole night was beautiful and I had a blast.
I have some really great shots of all the details but I didn't share them all.
I just wanted to get something up before they leave for Mexico!!! I still think that the bride and groom should take their photographer on their honeymoon! hahahah J/K
Have a great time!!!
Oh I love this bowl of apples, everytime I am in that hotel I just stare at them!

Baby Ayla as arrived

I have had a great weekend off, it was definitely needed. I did however have a great newborn shoot on Friday with miss Ayla and her family.
She is so sweet and pretty much slept the whole time which made it easy for us to fold her in to a ball and squish her into the boppy.
Congrats on that sweet baby M and H, hopfully you are getting your rest!

Blake - 6 months old

Blake is one of the cutest little boys ever! I had so much fun with him and his family on Wednesday. We started with some shots outside, but he wasn't digging that too much so we went inside and I set up my backdrop. mom took his clothes and diaper off and holy cow did he love that! He was smiling all over the place and showing off his superman skills... he is too cute! I love his chunky butt and legs haha
beware, there are a lot... I seriously love all of them
