Here is Little Wyatt! He is the son of our very close friends! They are wonderful and he is wonderful! He is only 5 weeks here, but his expressions show so much more!

Here are some maternity pictures I took of Katie a while back. A while being that little Cooper is now four months old! It was before I had a computer, so things got put on the back burner. The last picture was a fluke. My camera, a nearly 5 year old Nikon D70 (which is ancient in digital terms) has moments where it does what it wants. Sometimes the image is interesting!

More of Jane!

2009-05-27T19:33:00.001-07:00

This is Jane playing at one of her favorite spots, the showers at the beach! She is doing the sign for "Again". This has recently become one of her most used signs! Again, Again, Again...
We went to the Florida Botanical Gardens this past weekend it was so peaceful. And I got to be within 10 feet of a wild alligator. Nothing between him and me, but the camera, and 10 feet.

Jane loved picking up all the flowers!

You might notice that Jane isn't doing the sign for Again in this shot. I think if she knew the sign for "get this over with woman," she would have been doing it right then!

These pictures are some of my favorite of all time. Jane was so happy playing in the water with her Daddy, and he was all smiles too! I guess this is Jane surfing the big FL waves! She never wiped out either! She sure is our little water baby!! He was teaching her to "kick, kick, kick" while riding the waves!

Baptism

2009-05-06T18:59:00.001-07:00

This Saturday I have the honor of photographing the Baptism of Christopher Stanislavose Daniel in Tarpon Springs, FL. So... Hopefully I will get the pictures up soon! His Mother, Breezy, let me know that there will be over 400 people there! Can't wait to show the pictures!

Katie and Doug got engaged a few months ago, and they asked me and Adam to shoot their engagement photos for the Save the Date cards. Katie works with Adam at the Residency Program, and Doug is an attorney in Tampa. They are HUGE Gator fans and are a blast to hang out with. We are so honored to be part of their engagement! Thanks Katie and Doug!!!

This shot with Katie's engagement ring took some trust on her part! She has only taken this ring of 3 times since Doug put it on in New York. I think Katie was about 4 inches away watching it very closely. Can't blame her, it is a beautiful ring, and has been in the family for 3 generations!

Congratulations Katie and Doug!

So, I have been a bad blogger, and I have not posted anything in a while. This is due to the fact that I haven't taken anything worthwhile in a few weeks. BUT! Adam and I will be taking Engagement Photos of Katie and Doug this weekend! Very excited about that. Katie works with Adam and she is so great! Doug proposed to her the same weekend Gary and Beth got engaged.
Hopefully I will get a chance to post their weekend shoot on Monday.

Gaming Fever

Okay! I have been filling every spare moment of Ellen's blog contest. I think I have them all figured out, with the exception of one. I am going to post it tonight. Along the way, a contest idea has come to my attention. I have had so much fun doing this, that I want give others the chance to have some fun. Stay tuned. Hopefully I will get the contest up tonight.

Gary's Proposal to Beth

2009-02-02T11:59:00.000-08:00

I can't take credit for these photos. Adam got to take them since I was already booked.
Gary was planning on proposing to Beth and wanted pictures of it all. So we came up with a plan for Adam to hide on the beach at a specific location in a kiddy beach tent with the side cut out for a massive camera lens. Beth had no idea and as you will see, everything went great!
We also must thank my Aunt Kim for letting us borrow her excellent equipment!!!! Thank you so much!!!
Gary had an amazing weekend planned full of surprises for Beth. This also involved me and a co-worker of Gary's "breaking in" to Beth's apartment and leaving roses and such all over the place so when she got home, there was one more touch to a perfect weekend.

Courtney and Jake's Christmas Card

2009-02-02T07:55:00.000-08:00

Courtney is my super stylist. She does such a great job with my hair and keeping me smiling the whole time at the salon. She has a wonderful smile and a great heart.

Courtney asked me to take some photos of her and Jake for their Christmas Card. I was delighted since she seemed like a perfect subject, sweet and easy to make her laugh. Jake is a such a great guy, and put up with all my goofy ideas.

Thank you Courtney and Jake for giving me, Adam and Jane a fun evening at the beach!

Gary and Beth Engagement Photos

2009-02-02T07:29:00.001-08:00

Gary and Beth! What a great couple. Gary proposed on Dec 6, 2008 and their wedding will be Oct 10, 2009. Beth already has her wedding planned in 6 weeks! They chose Adam (my husband) and me to take their proposal and engagement photos. And I am sure we will be taking several more before Oct comes.

This was a very cold and windy day. Beth was a good sport with her short sleeve shirt and her hair going all over the place. The water and sky were breathtaking, and we had a great time.

Finally

2009-02-02T07:11:00.000-08:00

Finally!
There have been so many people who asked if I had a blog or site. I would feel this tinge of guilt and look down and say, "no".
NOT ANYMORE!
The goal now is when people view it, if they view it, that the blog has been updated in the past six weeks! ha ha
