David, Daisy, Elise, Josh, and Jason…whew!  I had such a good feeling at the H. home.  It was a mix of happiness, familiarity (though it was our first meeting), and comfort.  It’s one of those homes where you want to hang out at as a kid (or an adult..they have a nice collection of wine! ha!).  I did have a hard time choosing just a few teasers to post as we captured so many beautiful images together.  Here are some of my faves: Thanks for sharig these moments with me, H. family!  Can’t wait for you to see the rest.

And on an unrelated note…..GO GATORS!  Beat the Noles! 🙂

I met Jen at the Junior League Holiday Gift Market when she walked into my booth.  As a photographer, I find myself constantly looking at light and color- and I knew this was a color I wanted to capture!  Many women may try to duplicate it- but they will never get the kind of amazing color that Jen, Kelyn, and Conner have (sorry Rob! ha!).  It is just beautiful!  I tend to lean towards black and white for images that I think have a very emotinal feel- but with colors like this?  It is a real toss up! I am so sure that this is how Kelyn and Conner always behave at home…sweet, kind, and loving to one another, right? ha! OK, so realistically when you are 7 and 9- it is probably more like this… And I have to put one more “teaser” up because I am in love with it…and because Jen got an A+ on her homework.  Yes, I give my clients homework.  It is designed to help them prepare for their ordering session- and Jen had it all done by the day after our session.  Impressive!  (OK, so she is a teacher.  I am sure that had something to do with it! ha!). 

Enjoy your “teasers” G. family and happy Thanksgiving!

I have had the opportunity to photograph little Miss Lila Bo several times now- but this is the first time with her family (they finally got brave…ha!), and what a treat!  It was actually my first time getting to meet her dad, who happens to be a GATOR!  I knew I would like this man immediately!  (And clearly Lila Bo has a fondness of her daddy..wouldn’t you say so??!!) I always love chatting with Donna- she really inspires me.  A PhD in child development, former swimmer, and now owns her own healthy chocolate company, Xocai! This gal is on the ball- oh- and beautiful!  (I know- but don’t hate her! ha!) It is an on-going joke at all of Lila Bo’s portrait sessions; Donna’s famous line, “Soften it, Lila Bo…soften it..”  Here is Lila being “soft”.  Love it! What an amazing family, truly amazing! And one last shot, take by Miss Lila Bo herself.  I see a possible future as a custom portrait photographer…well, maybe….ha! As always W. family, it is a pleasure!!
