I have had the best week with the most amazing families and this one is no exception!  Jenni called me months ago to set a session with her beautiful family!  We had a blast at a BEAUTIFUL home on the water.  It was a bit cold but still so fun.  Thank yall so much for thinking of me.  Your baby girl is just PERFECT!  I sure hope I get to see yall again and again! Man, I wish I had shot yalls wedding…you all are just so easy on the eyes!  (wink)…and you too Jeff!

WOW, it’s been so long since I have seen this precious family!  Jennifer and Colin were one of my most FAVORITE wedding couples from a few years back.  They were here visiting from England and as my luck would have it they called me for family pictures with their newborn angel baby!  Isn’t she beautiful?  The fruit does not fall far from the tree though, her Mommy and Daddy are perfect as are the rest of their family!  Such sweet, wonderful people.  Thank yall so much for thinking of me again!  God Bless!

This is Jane, who found me years ago and I totally fell in love with her, her Mom, sister and her VERY precious niece!  I was so happy when she called me to do some family pictures.  I had the pleasure of meeting her WHOLE family of whom I fell in love with right away.   What a totally amazing family!  I had to give Jane’s hubby and big ole hug before I left.  What a brave, wonderful man (and wife) and family!  I am so proud to know you all!  Happy New Year!  God Bless!

Yes, that’s right, I am still sad but very happy for my amazing accountant/friend who is leaving me.  Mandy and her family were there in the beginning..THANK HEAVENS…and now she is leaving me for bigger and better things and I am in fact happy for her.  LOL, was just being selfish because I was loosing her (and anyone who knows me knows how much I needed my Mandy)  but I KNOW I will at least get to see her again and again for family pictures.  Right Mandy?  Oh, and was sad to see how grown Jack is.  When did that happen?  OH. MY, is this child the cutest or what?  He gets it really honest…the whole family is PERFECT!  I was unable to show these before Christmas because it was a surprise but now I can unveil this perfect family!   How cool was it that as we were shooting the Blue Angels came by and we were the ONLY ones on the beach?  Actually I planned it that way.  (wink)  They could have slowed down though so I could get a few more.  LOL!

So this will probably be my LAST post until after Christmas and I just want to wish all my FABULOUS friends and clients a VERY Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!  I will be out of the office until December 26th, but of course will be checking emails and returning phone calls when possible.   If I do not get right back to you I promise I will after Christmas!  Please be safe and have a super HAPPY Holiday!  It has been such a amazing year and I am so looking forward to another amazing year in 2010!

‘And the angel said unto them, ‘Fear not:
‘Behold I bring you good tidings of great joy
which will be to all people,
Unto you is born this day
a Saviour which is Christ the Lord.’
Luke 2:11

And because my family is just darn cute….

Brrrrrrrr, it was cold outside today but this couple was HOT!  So in love,  so sweet, so VERY cute and they already have a very special place in my heart!  It takes such a BIG heart and a amazing person to be so loving and so sweet to a little one, and J is in LOVE with both his girls and it just really melted my heart!  I just cannot wait until their wedding in 2010!  Early 2010 to be exact!  You guys were so fun (and so beautiful)  and I really enjoyed seeing yall.  Have a VERY Blessed Christmas and I will see yall in the NEW year!

Well, if I got started on this family I may never end.  (wink)  Then I will start crying and carrying on like a baby and get mushy and all that so….I am just going to post some pretty pictures of my friend and her amazing children!  Man, they are growing up so fast, it makes me a little sad sometimes.  Before we know it they will be grown!  Hug your kids right now, they won’t be little much longer!  God Bless!  Love yall!

Well, yes I have been slacking a bit on the blog but it is not my fault, it is mother nature’s fault.  Most of my clients want nice relaxed portraits in a setting of their choice so with all this rain I have had nothing to shoot as of late, but trust me I will really soon and I am getting caught up on all my weddings so never fear there will be more.  Also the Holiday’s are winding down a bit and everyone is just so very busy getting ready for Christmas!   But I do have one thing to blog that I am excited about.  It seems my image of the VERY lovely Elizabeth has been picked for the cover of the Emerald Coasts Brides Magazine again.  It is quite a honor for me and Elizabeth and I am very humbled to be selected yet again.  Thank you Emerald Coast Brides.  So hot of the presses everyone, get your copy now.  I also have a full page ad in there of the BEAUTIFUL Lanie and her handsome man Bryan!  I have the most beautiful brides huh?  (wink)

So John had to remind me yesterday how long we have known each other!  OH MY, I AM OLD!  I still do not know when that happened but it must not have happened to him cuz he does not age!  Still cute, still sweet as ever and has the most BEAUTIFUL WIFE and children AND knows all my COOL friends…right Rikers and Wilsons?  LOL. Thanks for thinking of me yall.  Your family is just BEAUTIFUL!

Yes they are and soooo proud of it!  I must admit I am pretty proud of this family too.  They have been with me from the VERY beginning.  And I do mean the beginning and every year  they make the 1and 1/2 hour drive to see me and I love it every single time.  Jack is my BUDDY now and I ADORE him, his Mommy and his Daddy!  Ya think they should have named this one Jr?  LOL.  Thanks yall, as usual it was so great seeing yall.  ROLL TIDE JACK MAN!!! I hope yall love these as much as I do!  God Bless!
