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!

What a great weekend to spend with some adorable little kiddos! I had all kinds of fun taking portraits of these energetic little ones. Each little personality shines in each of their portraits. I got lots of great portraits of each one, but here are a few of my favorites. Thank you to all the Mommies and Daddies for hanging out with us this weekend.
