As many of you know, we’ve been out of commission for a while due to a very difficult pregnancy.  After lots of hard days and a great deal of patience, we are so thrilled to finally welcome our daughter, Morgan Claire.  She’s such a sweet baby and fills our house with love.  Her brothers adore her, and I’m enjoying all the dresses and hairbows!  After enjoying some bonding time, we’re starting to get back into the swing of things in the studio, and should be fully up and running by the end of August.  In the meantime, here’s a peek at our little bundle of joy…

Would you believe that my recent photo shoot with these 10 month old triplets was one of the easiest yet?!  Their big sister was a huge help, and we were in and out in less than an hour- and aren’t they adorable?  They weren’t really into smiling for me (I guess I left Quackie Duck at home that day!!) but they were very cooperative and super laid back.  I hope I get to work with this lovely family again soon!

Isn’t this little guy simply adorable?  He’s a boy that knows what he wants, but those looks could charm anyone into giving it to him!  I had a great time working with the “K” family and hope to work with them again in the future.  Enjoy your images!

 A little sneak peak for Justine and Kevin…

 I have been photographing the “J” family since I first started dabbling in photography years ago, and not only are they close friends, but also some of my most loyal clients!!  I always look forward to working with them and of course shooting great images of their two adorable little boys- who are not so little anymore!  Here’s a few images from our latest beach session over the weekend…

 I just loved doing a shoot with this little guy…he was so mellow and content!!  What a beautiful family….

 A few more maternity images from the fundraiser sessions…we got some really fun images from this gorgeous mama- I love when people bring lots of outfits, and she accented each one with unique jewelry and accessories- I LOVE it!  It adds a touch of flair to the images.  I hope you enjoy your pictures!

I had so much fun doing a fundraiser shoot recently for Birthways Family Birth Center (check them out at www.birthwaysfamily.com).  Maternity photos are just so much fun, and they really speak to my heart because I so loved being pregnant!  It’s a great way to show our love and pride for our unborn babies and our bodies. This fantastic couple had a great time experimenting with lots of poses and backdrops for their maternity portraits, and my absolute favorite was mom’s belly- she decided to decorate it with Henna, and I think it came out just gorgeous.  What a unique and creative way to display your beautiful little baby belly =)  Here are a few of their images…

I had the pleasure of photographing Sarah and Jake’s wedding recently at St. Mary Magdalene church in Lakewood Ranch.  They had a beautiful ceremony (and I just LOVE her dress!!) followed by an awesome reception at Mattison’s Riverside in Bradenton.  They were so genuinely happy to be together, and I just love the opportunity to photograph and work with my brides and grooms that have as nice families as these two!!  They are both so lucky to have found each other, and I wish them all the best in their new life together!!!  Here’s a sneak peak…
