Larrigan Family Sneak Peek

admin — Sun, 25 Jul 2010 19:18:17 +0000

This weekend was also the Larrigan family’s photo shoot. This little guy was such a trooper for our session! The grass was really wet, the playground was drenched… and as we found out at the end of the session, there were bugs about. He and his big brother and sister were great despite all the craziness. Thanks so much to the Larrigan family for a great morning

Cape San Blas – Our Family Vacation!

admin — Mon, 19 Jul 2010 23:16:58 +0000

So this last week I was hanging out with my family. My whole family. A total of 21 of us fitting just barely into 3 vehicles with a UHaul taking everything (including the guy’s golf clubs… apparently they can’t leave home without them). We all went down to the Florida Panhandle – Cape San Blas to be exact. We’d worried for so long about the oil spill and as it turned out everything was absolutely gorgeous! Clear beautiful waters and sandy white beaches greeted us when we arrived.

We had such a great time! In the morning we’d take the kids to the beach to swim and you know what – the water was sooo great that they actually could swim in it! And at the end of the week it was so calm that we could walk out quite a distance with the kids and let them swim with the little fish in calm shallow water. It really was amazing and the little ones absolutely loved every minute of it! And every night we each took turns cooking everyone a feast and we dressed up for dinner every night. We didn’t eat out once the whole week and not one of us missed out. Then in the evening I’d sing on the deck with my sisters with the sun setting on the beach behind us… OK. So those of you that know me know that I personally didn’t sing toooo much (out of kindess to others) but it was great fun none-the-less.

My only regret was not taking my camera out more often. But even that I don’t regret too much. The time playing in the sand with my kids was priceless and I’ll never forget it. Pictures or not.

I wanted to thank my sister, Gianni, for stopping on our walk down the beach to take this shot of my family for me! I’m sooooo often not found in pictures…

Moebes Family Sneak Peek

Sunday afternoon I went to the Moebes family shoot. We were soo worried about the storm and it turned out that we managed the whole shoot without any trouble. In fact, right when we were leaving the lightning started up. I’d say that was perfect timing. I was sooo excited about this shoot I definitely didn’t want to reschedule this one – I’d done pictures for this family when it was just one little girl and now they have a beautiful little boy as well! It was great catching up! Thanks Moebes family for a really fun afternoon!

Bradshaw Girls Sneak Peek

I just love, love, love Bee Tree Park! This weekend was the Bradshaw family’s photo shoot and the girls wore these completely adorable white dresses… that worked sooo well in the field of barely cut grass and wild flowers. I love that Bee Tree Park doesn’t always cut their grass. It gives such a whimsical look to the shots! Thanks Bradshaw girls for a wonderful Sunday afternoon!

This weekend I was had the chance to hold a photo shoot with the Frank family. I’ve been wanting to get some photos of this great family since their youngest – twins!!! – were born just a year ago. Talk about a fun and active family! 4 kids ages 3 and under and look at those smiles!! Could you ask for a happier family?? What more can be said. Thanks to the Frank family for a great Saturday!

My little boy turned 3!

Yep, another birthday in our house! Henry – my little crazy man that he is – is officially 3 years old now. We had a birthday party for him yesterday and he had sooo much fun! I made him a special chocolate cake with is favorite colors… And he couldn’t resist stealing little bits of it as the day went by. By the time we sang “Happy Birthday” there was a whole section missing from one side!! Once the festivities were over my guy got to take a walk with his big brother and sister because he’s a big boy now too!!

Schlagger Family Sneak Peek

This week I had the opportunity to have a session at the Schlagger family home. These two little ones were very adorable. This little girl absolutely loved her little teddy bear… and her mom’s cell phone. It’s amazing how little kids pick up technology sooo quickly! Thanks to the Schlagger family!!

This weekend I drove out to the Rickey family’s home and it was a blast! I loved that they were into playing music and I should say upfront that I’m heading to the store this week to find that awesome skirt for my little girls! Talk about adorable!!! Thanks to the Rickey family for a great morning!

I’ve known the Back kids for years so this was a great session to do! Big brother here was a little tired after school for the session, but both perked up when we decided that some holiday candy canes were in order. Thanks to the Back family for a great session!
