I had two different Hardy families to photograph while in Florida.  It so funny to me that they both share the same first & last name AND birthday!  Crazy!  So this is Hardy family #1.  Nicole, thanks so much for bringing up to your kids that I went to a dance with their father a million years ago.  You know, back in the day when big hair & tacky outfits were in still. I pray that you never find that photo because I never want it to grace Facebook;-)  I enjoyed seeing you again and I hope when I go back in the fall we can do a family session with David too! Just don't bring that picture!  Here are a few pictures of your beautiful kids!  Oh, and thanks so much for including Jen A.'s daughter in a few of them.  You are so kind!

 These two little girls have the most amazing blue eyes!  Our morning session lasted about an hour in the heat & humidity.  Florida heat & humidity...nothing like it.  Needless to say there were several air conditioned breaks in store for us!  We used Brandy's property for the session & it was perfect!  Lots of shade & flowers! I had so much fun during this session!  Brandy it was great seeing you & meeting your two beautiful girls! Here are a few photos from your session!

I recently did my very first session with a 6 month old!  Jackson was such a sweet & easy baby to photograph.  I love his piercing blue eyes!  As I edited his pictures I found myself converting a ton of them to black & white because it just fit with this session that was full of soft natural light! Thanks so much Cheryl & Chris for letting me photograph your handsome little man! I hope to be able to photograph him again in the fall!  Here are a few from this session!  Enjoy!

 Last week I met up with Laurie Nowling of Laurie Nowling Photography for a bridal portrait session.  It was so hot out I thought we would all melt but we made it through!  Danielle is so stunning & so much fun to photograph.  She has a beautiful retro look about her.  I wish all the best to you Danielle!  Your going to be a beautiful bride!  Thanks so much Laurie for letting me tag along!  It was great to finally meet you!  Here are a few photos from the session!

 This session was originally supposed to be a sunset session but the lovely Florida weather did not cooperate with us.  We did the session the next morning & had to deal with more crazy weather.  One minute it was overcast & windy and the next minute it was sunny out.  At least the rain held out until we were done!  These sessions were so much fun.  Anyone who knows Aimee knows how funny she is!  I had a great time photographing these sisters & their children.  Thanks so much you guys! Here are some favorite of mine from each session.

 Marcy, it was so nice to meet you!  Your boys are little sweethearts!  I think I really captured some great moments with them that showed some very raw emotion.  This first pic from your session is a favorite of mine.  You can really see the emotion in this photo and that means I did my job right!






Aimee, you were so much fun!  And a big thanks for getting your sisters to have sessions too!  :)  It was so good to see you!  Maybe next time we can include the hubby & dieter although I am getting too old to chase a dog around, hehe!  ;-)






Patty, Your session was so much fun!  The jumping pic is a favorite of mine!   Your girls are so sweet & fun to work with!  Now can anyone guess which one is the mom in this first picture? haha!

I hoped & prayed that the beaches were still pristine white for all my beach sessions and for the most part they were.  Most of us are so devastated by what is going on in our gulf and I was honored to be able to capture these families on our beautiful beaches before they are damaged.  I have so many favorites from this session!  It was so hot out but the kids did so well!  Such cuties!  Here are a few from the session.  Thanks so much Melissa & Lee for letting me take pictures of your beautiful family!
