So while it may seem that I have not been busy over here, due to the lack of blog posts in the past month…it has turned out to be one crazy summer! Being my childrens’ sole source of entertainment, there has not been too much time for work… (not complaining…it has been a blast and very special to me!), but I have had time to squeeze in a few casting call sessions, amidst all the craziness! So far, it has been an amazing summer, filled with fun trips to the bowling alley, the pool, the library, the pool, friends houses, did I mention the pool? We really have spent quite a bit of time in the pool! Oh, and don’t forget the potty training! I am looking forward to my boys starting school at the end of August, allowing me much more time for more amazing sessions. Here is just a taste of what my summer has been about!

Absolutely one of the sweetest little angels I have ever photographed. Meet Baby Bridget! I just melt when I look at her beautiful soulful eyes! Just stunning!

Next is the first of my Summer Newborn Casting Call Sessions. This little munchkin is Baby Addison. We had a blast trying out some new props! She did just perfect for us…and I could have easily photographed her all day!

Next, I was honored to photograph Sweet Baby Sophia. She is the baby girl of a friend of mine, and I was just over the moon excited about this session! Sophia is just the sweetest little girl, and she has an amazing family, that I am happy to call my friends! Even with a wasp (those who know me, know that I am deathly afraid of bees and wasps) flying around us, I managed to get some beautiful shots that quickly became some of my new favorites! Thanks Mom D for taking care of the wasp, and for the most amazing chicken salad sandwich I have ever eaten! And thank you, M, for allowing me to be such a special part of Sophia’s life! Thank you for trusting in me to capture such a special time, and for all your support!

I will be back soon with another newborn session! Waiting for Baby Boy Z to be born, and I am REALLY looking forward to that session!!!!

Hope you are all enjoying your summer!!!

I hope you all had an amazing Memorial Day weekend!  Summer is officially here!

This past weekend, I had an opportunity to get together with a group of amazing photographers in North Carolina.  I have to say that it is absolutely gorgeous up there, and I am green with envy of their gorgeous locations.  Big beautiful fields of wildflowers, tall green grass (the soft kind…very different from our super thick and hard grass here in S. Florida) (oh…I am not complaining…well maybe just a little…LOL)  Anyway, it was seriously the most fun I can remember having in quite a long time.  We shot a ton of models, learned a bunch, and just had an absolute blast!  Despite the drenching rain, heat, late nights, and lack of sleep…we all managed to have a really great time! I highly recommend to my photographer followers that you go to a photography get together once in a while!  It really helps in keeping your creative juices flowing and it is super fun to get out and shoot just for fun with a bunch of crazy girls who share your passion!!

My family came with me for the trip!  We have extended family near Charlotte, so it was great to spend some time with them as well!!  While I was away at my little retreat, my boys went tubing for the first time.  I do wish I would have seen that!!! They also went to a drive through zoo, which my husband managed to photograph with his cell phone….I will try to get that picture for you.  There was a huge bull who came to the window to be fed.  Huge horns and all!  I think my boys were a bit scared of that thing though! When I came back from my get together, I took JT to see the NASCAR race for the pole at the Charlotte Motor Speedway!  We sat right in front, so JT got the full effect of the super loud roar of the engines as they flew by us!!   There is seriously nothing better than seeing that huge smile on his face as his favorite drivers drove by us!!!

Well, here are some of the images of the models from my get together.  It was super funny to be on the street, feeling and looking very much like the paparazzi!!  Enjoy!
