In addition to being a member of Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep (www.nilmdts.org) I have also just been accepted as a photographer for the Littlest Heroes Project, and I am thrilled to have a chance to help these families!  What they do is provide photography for families with terminally ill children, so that they can have beautifully captured memories for a lifetime!  Not just memories, but those that show the lighter side of their story- usually outdoors, just being themselves at a time when they have very little control over what is happening in their lives.

I am looking forward to helping out with yet another good cause!

Isn’t she precious?  And the funniest part is, every time mom and dad tried to coax a smile out of her, she wouldn’t do it…so they told her NOT to smile and we ended up with the cutest grins.  Reverse psychology at it’s best!  And of course some great candid shots too…

Chris and Jonne are such a great couple- Chris is a good friend from a volunteer organization that she’s been a part of for many years- and her help has been invaluable to me when I was just starting out volunteering my time to help all the mommies =)  It was a pleasure to have the chance to photograph the two of them.  I hope you enjoy your pictures!

 This wedding was AMAZING…gorgeous bride & groom, super fun family, and beautiful venue!  The Hyatt Sarasota set the stage for a perfect day, and this crowd had so much fun.  Here are some images from the day….

Can we say sweet?  This brother and sister team were so easy to work with and full of CHEESE’s!!  And obviously they love each other very much!  I hope you guys enjoyed your session and the beach vacation!!     

 I’ll tell ya…this family takes some gorgeous photos!  An adorable little guy and gorgeous mom & dad, combined with a slightly overcast day made for the perfect beach photo shoot!  Good luck with your upcoming arrival too…enjoy this little sneak preview =)

Jenny and Aki got married last weekend at beautiful Durante Park on Longboat Key.  A quaint and quiet ceremony really set the tone for the day, and it seemed to suit them perfectly!  I’ve really enjoyed working with these two and I wish them the best in their marriage!!!!!!  Enjoy the lil’ preview of your pictures….

 I had the pleasure of working with these super cool kids at Phillipi Creek recently.  They were so well dressed, well mannered, and well versed in smiling for photos!  It was a good time and we got some great images- I love the one of big brothers kissing their little sister- who wouldn’t want two big brothers to watch over her?  So sweet!  Enjoy the preview….
