How Great is One Year Old?

It is one of our greatest times: yet we don't even remember how an evolution of daily ups and downs moved us to our very core and, thus, began the education of our toddler years. One year olds experience emotions with all their innocent hearts: extreme happiness, saddness, excitement, fear. Turning one year old is a milestone that will never come again! I love working with children and Jake is one of the happiest One Year Olds I have ever worked with! This is just a sampling of the great images and memories from his Lifestyle Session!

Carol & Wyatt's Engagement

These guys are as fun as they are gorgeous! They took me to Melbourne Beach and showed me fabulous places to grab, well---of course---FABULOUS images of THEM!! Thanks, Carol & Wyatt! I can't wait until your wedding day!!!

One Golden Afternoon.....

I was blessed to share it with Kyle, Payton and Baylee at their grandmother's beautiful home! There are so many fabulous images, it was hard to pick which ones to share!!

Caleb's "1st 48"

Sarah & Chris are two of the most awesome people I have ever met and they have brought sweet Caleb into the world! This session was done at Cape Canaveral Hospital. Congratulations, Sarah & Chris and, thank you for inviting me during this beautiful time!

Family Thanksgivng Time!

We spent Thanksgiving Day at Scott's mom and dad's home: our loving Nanny and Papa! The feast, as always, was incredible!! The time together, priceless!

Friday we scooted over to Bartow to spend the weekend with my sister, Kendra. On Saturday, we had another family get together and some of these folks, I had not seen in over 20 years! It was another treasured day at a park in Lakeland! Fun, fun, fun!

If family members want copies of the images, please email me your name and address to send them to and, then, please be patient with me. I am very busy and will probably not get them out until after the new year!

Halloween Girls!

Here are a few images of the girls and their friends they went Trick-or-Treating with this year. Of course, the little ones were the most creative and had many differnt poses they wanted to do----they thought them up all on their own. Maybe I should hire them to pose clients----they are creative little monsters!
