'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!

Oh, to blog again!

I was so happy when the Mac store called to say my computer was fixed early! Yippee!!

Here's one of the sessions I was so excited about sending into cyberspace! I'm sure many of you have heard of Stellie Bellie's, the one and only, AWESOME, in my opinion, children's and maternity consignment store on 4th St. in St. Petersburg?? Well, she has absolutely adorable children, and here they are!

Aimee, Toby and Olivia

While in Atlanta, we did a family photo session for some friends of ours. They live in a beautiful three-story home just outside of the Buckhead District. Olivia is a fireball of a three, almost four year old, with a big personality. I really enjoyed following her around to capture all her great expressions! Looking forward to seeing you all again real soon!

The Moore Family

Thank you John and Marisal for a wonderful session. It was great to see you again and meet your family. You've got quite the handsome little man there! Here is a sneak peek for you to enjoy !

Lara & Jim

Hey you two, look how cute you look! Little love birds! Thank you Lara and Jim for letting me get up close and personal. Here's a little something to hold onto until we meet again!

The Smiley Family

Tiffany and Rick, thank you so much for a wonderful photo shoot! I wasn't just saying how smiley you all were to make you smile more, I don't think you needed any help with that. You are such a great family, so cute!! I look forward to doing some work at your new house, Wow!

Megan's crew!

I just love Megan's kids. I've known them since they were much littlier. These are some of the most well mannered children I know. The boys are about to turn 10 and they still let me hug and kiss them. What an adorable bunch. Thank you so much for letting me photograph you all! I hope you had as much fun as I did!

The Boys

Tim and his boys! Thank you so much for coming down to St Pete for this shoot! Ty, I know it was early, and Happy Birthday to you!! You were all a pleasure to work with, I look forward to it anytime. Quite a good looking bunch too!

We were shooting near this restroom downtown and I loved the women's side. I accidentally got the sign in this shot and I just love it! Sorry guys!

A few more of my faves...

from the Rainey Photo Shoot!

Four Little Men & a Girl

Literally! There was the adventurer/loner, the little Mr. Serious and the two Hams! Then comes along the girl, thought to be "weird" by the loner cousin. They were a riot! Trying to get all five of them together was nearly impossible. We tried. The shot below on the bench is a funny one, though very non-traditional, but I think closely shows each ones own personality, slightly askew! I'd be willing to tackle the task again, I wonder if the boys would be up to it, or mom?









They love each other, can't you tell! Cousins!
