Free Engagement Session!

Lily Hope

I had a great time photographing this new arrival, she was the tiniest thing ever! Only weighing 5 lbs. 12 oz. when she was born!  I must say I think she has some potential modeling abilities,  we photographed her for a good 30 minutes straight without hearing one little whimper! Thats rare! She also has the cutest big brother ever, Braydon. Its going to be hard to pick my favorites, so i will try to keep this short!

Birthday Girl!!

This past week my precious baby girl lola, so i like to call her, celebrated her 1st birthday! I just had to post these photos of her from the first day we got her to her 1st birthday photo. It was quite the task getting her to sit there with her birthday hat on, but i promised a treat and that did the trick!  I hope you enjoy them as much as i do!  She always brings a smile to my face :)

I learned something new!!

Okay, so i have set out on a mission to expand myself in the vast, never ending knowledge of photoshop.  So tonight i made myself sit down and learn!!  This is my very first frame that i created!  Let me know what you think.  Hopefully they will only improve as my creative juices keep flowing!  Not so bad for my first try...

Snow Day!!

Today i was so super excited that we had snow!!  This day was very important,  seeing as we NEVER have snow at the beach!  So of course i had to explore and capture proof that it actually happened!  Hardly any of it stuck, but i managed to find a few flakes on some bushes and palm tree leaves, and the beach, how ironic?

The Cox Family

I am so behind on my blogs, i apologize!  Things have just been busy busy lately!  I had the pleasure of shooting the Cox family at the Surf Club over the Holidays.  Between all their busy schedules we managed to squeeze a family portrait in!  I love these guys, they are so much fun,  here is a quick peek of their family shot...
