Summer fun with the G family... Palm Beach Family Photographer

It was so much fun meeting the G family last night for a fabulous family photoshoot!  My always amazing session designer, Trisha Varney, created the perfect kick-off to summer shoot for us!  The kids had a blast with the oranges & limes!  I have been wanting to do a shoot with oranges & limes for awhile... ever since I saw Megan Cristello Photography do a shoot with this theme back in 2009 (which was inspiration for this session).... I've been storing up this idea since then until a few weeks ago when Trisha texted me a picture of this amazing turquoise cooler.... and then the idea took off!  Here are a few pictures from this amazing family session!  Enjoy your sneak peek G family! :)

April Showers...... Rock The Shot April.... "Water"

When I saw the theme for Rock the Shot's April contest was Water... I of course immediately thought of "April Showers bring May Flowers".....

Here's my take on April Showers......

This is just the first I am posting here of a gorgeous session I did with this theme!  This session featured this incredible 8 ft by 6 ft rainbow that was hand-made by my amazing set designer, Trisha Varney.  I explained my "vision" for the shoot & she went with it & created the perfect larger than life rainbow for me!  I just love it! 

This is my entry into Rock the Shot's April contest - www.rocktheshotforum.com

... Stay tuned for more images from this AMAZING session!!

Little Princesses... *Tutu That Commerical Shoot.... South Florida Commercial Product Photographer

Can tutus change the world?  Maybe not.  Can girls wearing *Tutu That tutus change the world?  You bet.  *Tutu That believes in the powerful influence girls can have on the future of our world and they have made it their mission to empower one girl at a time... who in turn will EMPOWER women around the world to lift themselves from poverty.  *Tutu That donates 100% of their profits to anti-poverty programs around the world that will enable women to become trained, educated, and self-sufficient.

When Gaby from *Tutu That contacted me a few months ago about taking some promotional images for them, I was interested at first because tutus are fun and I have two little girls who LOVE being princesses.... then when I checked out her website and facebok page, I fell in LOVE with the company.  I mean, adorable, quality tutus that also stand up for girl power & help to make a difference.... PERFECT!

This shoot would not have happened without two great friends of mine.... Tristine Davis of T Davis Images who supplied this awesome turquoise couch & helped shoot the session with me and my amazing set designer, Trisha Varney Photography Designs. 

Here are the newest members of the Tutu That Princess Club....

Matilda Jane CHICKS! Palm Beach Childrens Photographer

Wow.... anyone who knows me, knows I have a major shopping addiciton to Matilda Jane Clothing.  I find their clothing second to none in terms of quality & cuteness.  Their outfits are the perfect portriat clothing in my opinion because the mix of colors, textures, and patterns brings such interest to the images.  It is so easy to mix & match their pieces with each other too, which is one of the things I love most about MJC. 

For the release of their newest line, Serendipity, I wanted to create a really fun session for my friends & clients who purchased MJC from my trunk show!  I had the fabulous , Trisha Varney Photography Designer, create some super amazing set designs for this shoot!  We had a blast capturing all of our adorably sweet MJ models in this super-fun shoot!!!

Here are some of my favorites of my MJ chicks....

The Lovely B Family.... Palm Beach Family Photographer

It was such a pleasure working with the B family yesterday!  They were just lovely!  Lovely family.... lovely kids.... just lovely!  Mr. P and Miss F were too cute for words!  I loved how much Mr P enjoyed doing "Hip, Hip, Hoorays" with his Daddy... when his Daddy would throw him up in the air.  You could clearly see all of the love in this family and it was my pleasure capturing it!  Thanks for a fabulous session!

Fun at the Marina.... Palm Beach Family Photographer

I had a blast yesterday morning at this fabulous styled session at the Castaways Marina at the Square Grouper.  This family was totally adorable & so much fun to work with.  10-month old Mr. K was just too cute for words as he played with the cute little crabs that Trisha brought.  My session stylist, Trisha Varney, did a fabulous job coordinating the locaiton & prop ideas for this awesome session!  Thanks to the W family for a wonderful photo session!!!  :)  Here are a few of my favorites....

Celebrating 2 with Miss N.... Palm Beach Child Photographer

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVED this session last month with sweet Miss N to celebrate her 2nd birthday.  My amazing session stylist, Trisha Varney Photography Designs, came up with these super-cute set ideas centered around Miss N's loves... her new play  kitchen & playing with her babydolls.  They were totally perfect, especially with N's adorable Matilda Jane outfits!!  We had a blast playing in our little field kitchen & it was truly so much fun capturing all of the pure joy that exuded from Miss N.  She is quite a lovely little lady! 

Thank you so much for a fabulous session!!! :)  Here are a few of my favorite images....

Sweet 2 month old Miss H... Palm Beach Baby Photographer

It was so much fun getting to meet adorable Miss H this morning for her photo session.  She was full of smiles & sweet little coos for us!  At 2 months old, I did not expect her to sleep too much for me... but I was pleasantly surprised at how "chill" she was and I am thrilled with the beautiful images we captured!  It was a pleasure meeting you D family & I look forward to your family session in a few weeks & meeting H's big sister!  Enjoy your sneak peek!!!

 

Good Morning Sunshine...

The W family... Palm Beach Family Photographer

I always love when I have the privledge to watch families grow & change!  I was so happy to be able to capture the sweet W family again this week while they are vacationing down here in Palm Beach.  Two years ago, I photographed this family of 3... and yesterday I got to meet the newest member of their family of 4 now!  I just love my job & I am honored when families choose me to document their happy memories!

Here are a few of my favorites from our beach session.  We had gorgeous weather, adorable kids, and some super fun props & ideas by my amazing session stylist, Trisha Varney!
