SURPRISE!!!!!!!!!

Being a photographer, it's surprising that I've NEVER done a session with my brother and sister.  Well, the time has come for that to change.  My sister, Jessica, insisted that we put together a surprise session so we can make canvas for my parents for Christmas.  We chose to do our pics at my Brother's new condo on the intercoastal in Fort Lauderdale.  What I didn't tell him was that I planning on making him some canvas from our session too.  I knew just where I would have him put them in his new place!!!!  Luckily, his girlfriend was there too so I was able to score a couple of cutie-pie ones of them together too.

Well, they came out so good!  Despite the sun almost setting on us (and having to use my tripod and remote). I'm really happy with how they turned out.

How did my parents react??  My mom actually cried as she started opening them!!!

Perfection!

Baby Quincy

What a precious little pumpkin I was able to capture for her newborn pictures.  She was not too excited to have a camera on her yet, but I have full faith she will be modeling it up in just a few months.   Quincy got some great shots though and we were so excited when we finally got the "money" shot of her smiling.  She is so lucky to be coming into such a big and loving family.  I can't wait to take pictures of her as she grows up!!!!

The Stubbs Family

There are no words to explain how much I enjoyed my session with the Stubbs Family.  They are going through something really hard and it was so special for me to do this for their family.   I was touched by the father and son relationship that I was able to capture.  They absolutely melted my heart with all the sweetness between the three of them.  When I edited the pictures, I found myself just staring at them because I was amazed at how candid they were.  I was really excited to preview them to Cathy!!!

I just want to thank the Stubbs family for letting me capture this for them.

Rachel Ballard and Hannah Gragg

THE YUMMIEST LIGHTING EVER!!!!!!!!!!

Doing this Sisterly family session was SO MUCH FUN!!!!!

I love LOVE LOVVVVVEEEE Family sessions.  Getting the kids to act comfortable with me is one of my MOST favorite things.  Having two boys myself I see that most of the time I end up with lots of posey-posey pictures with plastic fake smiles.  But... when I can get a really sweet expression that is genuine.... SCORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  This session was full of them.  Daddy-kiddie fishing, lots of giggling, and COUSIN LOVE.

Basically, perfection.

XOXO

Baby Haven

This was my first session with the Byrnes family and I couldn't be more excited to take them!!!  Baby Haven was absolutely precious and already such a good girl.  I bet she will take after her big sister and absolutely become a little model!!!  I"m so excited with how the images came out.  Her newborn shots are some of my favorite, ever.

This is just such a beautiful family on the inside and out.  I must say, it was kind of hard to select which images I was going to use for them.  I really hope they enjoyed it.
