N & J :: Married!

N & J, bless their hearts! planning a wedding from long distance is never easy - but about a month before the event, they relocated to central florida! i know the transitions have been immense, but on the big day, they were calm (mostly!), gracious and flexible. despite the florida humidity and sporadic downpours (isn't rain good luck?), they remained pleasant and all smiles!

it was a pleasure to be a part of this family's celebration - they are clearly a team and have one another's best interests at heart. N & J - you are blessed!

JDH :: central florida baby photography

t & j are friends of ours - i actually met them when i started dating my (now) husband. hubby roomed with t and occasionally works with him. their wedding was LOVELY and, two years later, so is their baby!

jdh is two months old and is having trouble squeezing into 6month baby clothes. he's got this darling smirk that looks remarkably like his daddy and was one of the most pleasant babies! well, after the initial i'm-grumpy-and-don't-stick-that-camera-in-my-face phase. he really did well for being so young and i can't wait to watch him grow up! his mama and daddy are sweet people and i'm so glad they called me!

j, it was great to work with you and baby today - i had fun, i enjoyed watching you be a mama to this sweet boy!

B & B! :: central florida baby photography

these boys are so precious.

our friends said they would be game to let me try out my new lens (okay, rental lens) on their sons - and who can argue with a fun baby photo shoot? so we went over last night for dinner & photos and i got to mess around with the rental.

i've been wanting some new lenses for a while and it didn't even cross my mind to RENT them...try 'em out, see if i like 'em and if we work well together. but i have entered into a marvelous new world! RentGlass.com is amazing! they worked with me, notified me when the lenses i wanted were available and their customer service was quick and friendly. wahoo!

so i got to work with the T babies last night....the youngest is just six weeks old and so warm and cuddly. my husband couldn't stop gawking at the baby - his tiny fingernails and nose and armpits. he (the hubby) was making eyes at that baby all night! here are a few practice images with the new lens and the new baby...








more to come of big brother!

B :: sebring florida senior photography

our friends p & e called me last week, said their darling granddaughter was in town and would you want to do her senior photos? of course i would want to do her senior photos. and i've had my eye on this great little place downtown that i've wanted to shoot for a while. perfect. we'll come on tuesday. of course, tuesday it rained - because this is florida and it rains EVERY afternoon in florida. but we're all fairly flexible this summer, so we rescheduled for wednesday.

the local art league owns these two 1920s spanish-style houses that have been renovated as an art gallery and a studio for art camp. that sounds so vague. fine art? music art? painting? mosaics? chalk? pen/ink? what kind of art?! anyway. the houses are purple, green, yellow, orange - just amazing crazy colors. why i haven't done any work there yet, i have no idea! and the most perfect part is this: the houses close at 2pm, so all afternoon & evening their yards and porches are free for sitting and shooting and being creative!

b was just amazing - she talked and giggled and was a little bit shy at first (especially with an audience of her grandparents and my husband - we had to send them off to talk). but she was really sweet and told me about school and softball and what she thinks she wants to do for college...and she listened to my crazy stories as we wandered around the art league houses. i LOVE these images!
