Springtime and Children

It was a beautiful afternoon......bathed in golden sunlight, kissed by the gentle river breeze....this day at Rotary Park. We not only gathered memories, we made them. This is a sneak peek of just a few of the fabulous images of God's great blessing: children!

Brother and sister.....a lifelong bond.

Juliana is turning two: she counts, she sings and pretends to read books. She loves her big brother who spends his time looking out for her.

Bennett is so proud of his missing tooth and the other ones that wiggle and will be lost soon.

I love working on location with children, catching glimpses of looks and expressions only found in relaxed play: unrehearsed, uninhibited, real life moments!

Beautiful portraits and lots of fun shots too! Thank you, Deniz, for inviting me to capture images that tell the story of your greatest joy: your kids!

Indian River Festival

We visited the Indian River Festival on Friday night. It's a fabulous Titusville Tradition! There was lots to do, see and participate in Thursday through Sunday. Our weekend plans were filled so our only time to share in this year's party was on Friday. Here is a glimpse of our night. Feel free to use any of the fun and crazy images as your personal desktop image!

We arrived at twilight, just as the lights began to glow. Do you recognize anyone in this picture?

Look who else came, too!

Fun rides and games! The grounds were extremely clean, the attendants very courteous and professional, and the rides were lit beautifully!

Making a decision.

She hasn't even gotten off the ride completely and before her feet touch the ground, she has her cell phone in hand. Who will she call? Who will she text?

Stormy had lots of fun playing games and eating lots of carnival foods!

The Indian River Festival is a joy to attend! It's well maintained and our own TPD was in strong force to assure family fun and safety! I can't wait until next year! I hope to see you there!

NASA

NASA held family day on Saturday and we had THE GREATEST TIME!! My sister, Rhonda, and her husband, George, work out there and they invited their family to share in their work world. What a fabulous adventure! I got so many INCREDIBLE shots! These are just a few! Take a look!

If you recognize some of these control panels, you just may be an original rocket scientist!! Our day started out on the Air Force side and we visited old Blockhouses (that's the original launch control rooms for those of you who do not know) and original launch pads.

While on the Air Force side, we visited the Cape Canaveral Lighthouse!! What a treat that was for me and Scott! As lighthouse fans, we have always wanted to visit the light in our backyard! However, it is a very rare occurance for it to be open to the public. After all these years, we finally were able to see it!

You won't believe what happened next: we visited the shuttles-----that's right, SHUTTLES ON THE PADS!!! NASA allowed families to drive by each pad and see the last time that two shuttles would be on the pads at the same time. Rhonda & George had previously taken me out there for a close encounter with a shuttle lift off, and I have been on tours-----but NEVER anything like this!! What a wonderful, historical event!!! It was breathtaking and very moving to see those majestic ships sitting along our seashore, poised for their next lift off! I shall never forget the thrill of this day!

Atlantis on Pad A and Endeavour on Pad B.

Reduced speed ahead? I don't think so, America! WE LOVE OUR SPACE PROGRAM!!!

Touches of Easter

There is nothing like family! I wanted to share a few touches of our family time on Easter!

My fun and crazy kids!

Our table was the very essence of Spring!

This is the true historian of our family: my mother in law, Elaine. She always assures the memories of our family live on through the pictures she captures. Elaine has created beautiful photo albums of our precious time together that tell our family history in pictorial. We enjoy looking back through time.... Do you or someone you know document your family's story? (You may notice, she's a Canon girl, too).

Easter Lily

On Easter morning we found a solitary lily in bloom. It sat there, a lonely plant, forgot from last year. So, it blossomed to remind us of things forgotten...to remind us, to remember....many things. It was a beautiful surprise! I have created a vintage look to this lily because they are so timeless and remind me of times gone by----enjoy it as your desktop image!

Did you have one of these delicious cakes the first weekend of April? Something Sweet was BUSY baking and creating: these are just a few from that crazy fun weekend! Totally INCREDIBLE!!!!

Blue Springs

It was a great day at the swimmin' hole! We played and had a picnic: good times with good friends! Isn't it wonderful how pictures bring back fabulous memories? I think everytime I look at these pictures I will remember the sound of laughter and splashing water, the feel of the cool, wet springs and the smell of the fresh, green outdoors.

Wedding Details

How important are the details of your wedding? We love details----they enrich your wedding story by setting the mood: the essence of your day. We believe the details you have put together for your wedding are extremely important and that's why we go to great lengths to capture the feel they portray!
