The Quick Boys

I couldn't have chosen two better models. They're so cute and it didn't take much to get them going in front of the camera. We spent almost two hours together downtown St. Petersburg and the camera ate these two up!! Thank you to mom Jade for reaching out to me after our brief meeting at the One Lucky Dog pet boutique.

Introducing, the Quick Boys!






And for some real boy fun now!

I am '2' at the Zoo!

This little guy just turned 2. I met his family at Lowry Park Zoo where they went to celebrate his special day! His mommy Julia is expecting his little sister in a few months, so it's nice to get some special mommy and daddy alone time now. Thank you all for inviting me to share a couple of hours with you!

The other sister!

Once upon a time not so long ago.... Here is Sara, the missing link of Jenna and Sara. I recently met up with her and mom Colleen to deliver their holiday cards and I was enthusiastically greeted with the model release. So I'm now able to show off some of little sister Sara's lovely images from the session back in July!!

'Holiday Wishes'

'Holiday Wishes' has almost wrapped up for 2008. At least the sessions are complete and the editing is in full swing. The Beach sessions are in the ordering process, with the Park sessions shortly behind.

So many thanks go out to the 14 families who participated this year and to all my many helpers, you know who you are. I've pulled together some of my favorites for everyone to view.

Enjoy!

My Sweet Putter

What a week! A completely jam-packed, and emotional week to say the least. It seems whenever you're completely maxed out is when more is added to your plate and it's always worse when it's emotional. To know me is to know that my pets are a part of the family, for better or worse, and I love them with all my heart. Many of you understand this completely. My kitty, my love, Putter, was involved in a terrible trauma on Monday and it seems that he has severe nerve damage to his back end, including urination. He's been in and out of the emergency vet and his wonderful veterinarians at Gulf Animal Hospital many times this week and it's not over. He's on five different medications and there is an all too possible chance that the nerve damage will never recover. It's horribly sad for me to see him this way. He is the favorite to many friends and family that know him. He is a love in so many ways and it's hard to know how badly he was hurt and that his life may never be the same. I'm holding out hope on this newly introduced medication, to his regime, that he will pull through this. For those of you who don't know him, here's Putter!

Luke

This is Luke. Good ole' Alabama boy! It was a pleasure to spend a Monday morning walking around downtown St. Petersburg with you. I'll have to give Alix a big hug for sending you my way! You theatre folk are just wonderful!

The Wee Gallery Family

This is Surya and David and their two absolutely beautiful children. They are the owners and creators of Wee Gallery, a line of products for babies designed to stimulate learning at different ages.

I had such a great morning photographing this family. We started out at the beach, but didn't stay long. It was the coldest morning we've had yet here in St. Petersburg and the wind was blowing hard. So instead we went back to their lovely abode.
