Nola Scott!

I've taken her picture every year since she was born and I love seeing her grow up! Here are my favorite photos from portrait session.

She started off shy...


But I got her to really loosen up!


What a sweetie pie.


Love her!

lifestyle sessions

Lifestyle sessions are more than just portraits. They are a little slice of life incorporating your favorite places and the things you like to do for fun. Families can actually have fun playing and being themselves and it makes for some incredible expressions and real moments.

When I was getting together some family portraits for our new web site I came across these pictures that I thought deserved a spot on the blog. Speaking of web site... it's almost ready!

babies.

There's nothing like a baby to bring families together.

Beach Boys!

Are these the cutest little guys or what?! They were well behaved but full of energy - all boy and lots of personality! Their mom and I did a lot of chasing them around the beach to get them in the pictures!

These photos were a present for dad :)

Nola Scott

This was my second photo shoot with adorable little Nola Scott. Last time was about a year ago when she was 6 months old. So much happened since then, mainly she walks! And she really has a mind of her own now. Nola Scott is one curious little girl. I chased her around the whole time... up steps, down steps, and all over the Casa Monica Hotel. One thing that slows her down - she loves water. This little water baby ran over to the pool as soon as she saw it (mom running in stiletto boots behind her). She also tried to climb into the fountain in the lobby, and she loved reaching in the big fountain in front of the Lightner Museum.

Anya and Hannah

It didn't start off that great... it was cool and windy. Wind is never great for portraits. And cold wind usually makes my eyes water. Well within the first 5 minutes of the shoot my eyes were watering like crazy... then they burned from lotion or make-up getting in them. And this was my first impression. My clients must have thought, "what's wrong with this girl?!"

We also had a little trouble getting little Anya to pose with her big cousin Hannah. I have patience... I could sit there all day for a picture, no problem. But I always hope that the parents I work with will have the same patience to let me do my thing, and let the kids do theirs. Eventually it always works out once the kids relax and have some fun. Luckily, the girls' parents were very patient with both my eye problem and posing little Anya. And in the end, we got tons of really great shots! I would say this shoot was a big success :)
