This morning I had the pleasure of meeting up with a grandmother, her daughters and her sweet little grandchildren who were in town from out of state. Our session had a few unexpected twists and ended a little quicker than anticipated, so I just knew coming home that I would have to share a couple of sneaks right away to: 1) insure them that we captured some precious moments and 2) to put a smile on their faces and in their hearts.

Thank you for trusting me with these sweet little guys. I pray everyone is feeling lots better!

Now, be prepared for some serious cuteness!

Future heart-breakers!!

These next two are all about the eyes! My goodness these are some handsome kiddos!

Mr. L loves his mommy and I LOVE this image of their sweet snuggles!

Mr. L’s mommy is also expecting another little bundle of joy. We wanted to capture the “3″ of them together, but it’s not always easy getting a 2 year old to cooperate. As soon as the trucks came out though, we bought ourselves some more time.

It wasn’t long before Mr. L leaned over to use his mommy’s tummy as a road. How cute is this?

Giving his baby brother a little hug…

…and a little kiss too!

Adorable Mr. B and his mommy.

Look at that smile!

Mr. B loves his snuggles too!

Having 3 boys, this picture just makes my heart happy! Don’t you love the personality in this image? What a great way to end our session!

I have wanted to post this for several days now, but alas, my family hit another bump in the road, this time with a horrible stomach bug. Hopefully, we are on the road to recovery and I can keep sharing all the great sessions that have happened lately!

I had the honor of meeting up with Kaylee, her mom and her adorable little nephew early one morning to celebrate her upcoming graduation. Kaylee is super sweet and has such a precious personality. Here are a few of my favorites from our time together.

Kaylee plans on pursuing a degree in Culinary Arts, so it was fitting that she brought along her apron and her favorite cook book, a family heirloom. How fun!

My favorite!

Congratulations Kaylee! May God bless all your endeavors!

It’s true, I LOVE engagement sessions! I admit, it’s an obsession! There is nothing greater than 2 people in love, spending time capturing their emotions, without the time constraints of a wedding day. I can’t think of many people, who find opportunities to do this at any other stage in their lives (although, I highly suggest it). Seriously, as a couple’s love grows and matures with years of love, adoration and respect it seems fitting to document it occasionally. Hmmm… anniversary sessions anyone?

I met up with Ashlee and Russ at Fort Desoto, on what happened to be a blustery day. Blustery actually may be an understatement, as more times than not we were dodging the wind, the whipping sand, the crashing waves and praying that the rain held off… which it did, showering down little sprinkles as we drove away.

Here are a few of my favorites from our time together!

Love this one!

These next 3 are my favorite series of  up close images to date! Oh la la! 

Stunning.

I had to post this just so you could see the sand blowing around. Ashlee and Russ were such troopers, even as it flew right into their eyes! 

Closing out in the water- another couple of breathtaking images!

Thanks Ashlee and Russ for hanging out, chatting about the big day and allowing me to capture these moments for you! I’m already looking forward to your wedding!

I needed a break from all that editing, so here’s a post I’ve been wanting to share!

I met up with Heath and Amber early one morning to set out on an adventure in downtown Tampa. The wind was wild and traffic was busy, but we were able to find all the right places to make it feel like they were the only ones there. I’m so looking forward to their wedding in July!

How could I resist the clown fish?

One of my favorites from the day. I adore the look on Amber’s face!

These bright flowers were perfect for some sweet shots of this sweet couple.

With Heath, there’s always time for a little dancing! Right?

Amber’s beautiful ring.

Love the spontaneity of these images!

Here’s that great smile on Amber’s face again!

By far, this is hands down my favorite shot of the day! Heath had been playing and singing to Amber when this tender moment occurred. My only problem, I can’t decide if I like it better in color or black and white. What do you think?

My hubby and I love these books (note: they’ll be on the resource page for sure) and since Amber is an avid reader, I brought them along for this fun image!

We spent forever looking for a place to park to snag this image. I think it was worth it! 

Heath and Amber, thanks for a great time together! Looking forward to all the surprises on your special day!
