admin — Sun, 25 Jul 2010 02:32:04 +0000

I’m sooo lucky! I get to watch these amazing little ones grow up! This little guy was one of my very first newborn/baby session’s – and now look at him! He’s running around singing his ABCs already! I’m always so glad when I get to see him again and catch all the little changes from session to session. Thanks to the Sottile 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!

This week I had the opportunity to have a session at the Schlagger family home. These two little ones were very adorable.
