Drew is another baby planner, so I get to photograph this handsome little guy a lot!  Just look at those beautiful eyes! I absolutely fell in love with him (and his beautiful Mommy) at his newborn session!  I know that I will have a lot of fun photographing Drew over the year, and look forward to our 6 month session!  Big hugs to all of you!!

I have been photographing Caila since she was born!  What an honor that has been!  She is so beautiful and happy! I fall in love with her and her amazing family more and more at each session!!!  This session was no exception!  For her 1st birthday we played a bit in some Tutus and cute flower headbands…then we moved onto her cake smash.  She was a little hesitant at first, with this big cake in front of her, but it didn’t take her long before she was covered with icing! It was so much fun to watch her enjoy sticking her fingers into that beautiful cake!!  Thanks for a great year Caila!!  I hope you have had as much fun as I had!!

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!
