Love that Deep Fried Turkey!

For the second year in a row, my family did the deep fried turkey thing...because we like low fat...ha ha! (Actually I usually do, but is there such thing this time of year?) So we all gathered around the table as Pete and Adam brought in the bird, carved it up, and served it to all 16 of us! And it was YUMMY! Not a belly left my house without being full. And the sides??!!! Heaven! And guess what we had for dinner tonight? and probably for the next 5 nights! Hope yours was wonderful- and calorie rich!

What a Small World!

When Peggy called to book her maternity session after finding my website online, we quickly realized that were sorority sisters together at the University of Florida! What a great surprise for us both! And she has not changed- she has only gotten prettier..and her belly a little rounder- ha! Tim was a great model! So good to see you again Peggy! Can't wait to meet that baby girl!!

A Pea in the Pod's Next Top Model

Move move America's Next Top Model- this is America's next top maternity model...isn't she beautiful??!! Kim, Jeff, and Austin were so fun to photograph. I think "A Pea in the Pod" will be knocking on your door any day, Kim! (For those of you who have never been in that store...think $200 for a maternity tank top! When my husband and I first went in there, they handed him a bottle of water and told him to make himself comfortable...he knew he was in trouble!! Fortunately- I love sales! ha!) Austin did a really great job--- I followed your lead, Austin! I have found that guys tend to be a bit unsure of these pictures- not Jeff! A+ for the whole family!

2+2=4

I know I have done the "math" title already, but it is late, I am tired- and I have run out of witty things to say this late at night (you guys all have me slammed with holiday sessions and orders--and I LOVE it!) ha! So for the third time in 3 weeks, I photographed another couple expecting twins..must be something in the water! Katrina and Danny were so fun to photograph. We played "supermodel" and Katrina was definately super! I am excited to meet the boys!

Birth Book Takes 2nd!

YIPPEE! My birth book from Trible's birth placed 2nd last night at the Tampa Area Professional Photographer's Association monthly print competition! How exciting! I photographed this little cutie's birth back in June- and next month I will see him for his 6 month shoot already- time sure flies!!

Hannah the Banana!!

Meet Hannah, the Banana..as she is lovingly referred to by her family! The weather and lighting could not have been more perfect for this shoot. If only there was someone I could talk to about holding the sun in that perfect position in the sky for about an exta hour! That would really help me out! ha! But tonight, the light was on my side..and Pete, Michelle, and Hannah got to reap the rewards. Just wait until you see the rest! Enjoy!

Meet the "C." Crew!

Christmas cannot get here fast enough for Matt, Lauren, Jocelyn, and Kaitlyn- well, at least for Jocelyn and Kaitlyn! ha! Don't they look so Christmasy (is that a real word?) in their pretty red dresses? I hope Santa brings you all you are asking for girls!

Blonde Beauty/Actress!

Don't let the sweet face and big green eyes fool you- this little lady is a riot! Kendal had me rolling on the ground laughing- she played princess and I was in her royal court. It all started with one of her dresses that reminded her of Star Wars. And how do you deny that face? I can only imagine what she talks her mom and dad into at home! ha! Thanks for the laughs, Kendal! I will see you on TV!

Awaiting Marshall Blake....

I LOVE maternity sessions! When else does a woman have permission to pose half naked in front of a camera and feel super sexy about showing off all her curves? (unless of course you are a Victoria's Secret model- and well, that's just not reality!) I also love hearing a husband tell his wife how beautiful she looks...it is so sweet! Craig and Yvette are anxiously awaiting the arrival of Marshall- and I know their families are as well! Can't wait to meet him. Enjoy your sneak peak.

Oohhhh those dimples!

It seems like I have had a slew of 2-year-olds lately. Each with thier own personality, ideas, and thought processes...I really find it amazing! Little Miss Lila Bo arrived to our photo shoot looking like the most hip, shabby chic two year though- in her peasant top and cowboy boots! What a doll! And those dimples! Makes me melt! And Lila's mom has her Ph.D in child development....you know I love that!
