I've been photographing Amanda and her family for about three years now and I couldn't be happier to photograph her and her beautiful baby belly. When she told me that it was just going to be the girls for this portrait session, I had an idea to use a pink background. I'm so happy that I took the chance because I love how Amanda and Miss M look in front of the super girly background. Amanda is such a fashionista too so I always look forward to photographing her and her gorgeous family!

Anastasia is the founder of the Mommy's group that I belong to and she's expecting twins any day now! She already has a gorgeous little boy that my little guy loves to play with.

She is a gorgeous Mom and does not look like she's carrying twins! Pretty soon she'll have her hands full with two adorable babies and an active toddler and I can't wait to meet those adorable newborns soon.

Thank you for allowing me to capture such an important moment in your life!

So the Mangin family's little girl showed up happy and healthy and I think big sister was so gentle with her. I couldn't have asked for more cooperative subjects than big sister and her new baby sister. Miss T lasted a whole two hours for portraits and her big sister Miss E was so cooperative for each portrait we asked her to pose in.

Viva and I met through a Mommies group over a year ago and we've kept in touch mostly through taking portraits of her oldest. When she contacted me recently so say that they've added to their family, I was so excited. They are such a gorgeous family that it wasn't hard to get some amazing family portraits.

I love photography this family! I've been photographing them for almost three years now, and when Gina contacted me to tell me she was pregnant, I was so excited!

They are expecting their new little girl within a few weeks now, and I'm looking forward to taking portraits of her too.

This past weekend Todd and I took advantage of a much needed getaway to the beach with our baby boy. Fortunately, it was also a business trip so we'll reap the benefits come tax time next year. A female photogapher's group on Facebook called CeFloFePhos (Central Florida Female Photographers) has two weekend retreats a year and this one was planned for Siesta Key, Florida. Being that this is my favorite beach area, I jumped at the chance.

Todd, Dylan and I went up a day early to get lots of beach time in, especially since this was Dylan's first trip to the beach. He absolutely loved it and we had to pry him from the sand!

There were also lots of shoots planned which I got to attend a couple. Here are a few shots from those including one of Todd and Dylan on the beach as we take portraits of models in wedding dresses.

While we were in Tampa visiting my family for Easter, Todd and I went out to take some family portraits. There's a great open space just down the road where a new development is going in, and I've been wanting to use it for portraits for quite some time. Big grassy fields have something really special that makes people stand out in their portraits. Plus it feels so warm and inviting!

Anyway, Todd took these portraits of me and my little man and I couldn't be happier. My favorite is going up on our wall as soon as it's delivered!

My good friend DeeDee and her new husband Jon had a big family reception when they got home from their wedding. They had a nice private ceremony in Costa Rica and then came home to celebrate in style. They had a tin drum player, plenty of island style food and drink and lots of friends and family to help them celebrate.

I had the lucky challenge of photographing all of the family members and then getting one big group shot! It was so much fun trying to fit everyone in creatively and make sure everyone was seen in the portrait.
