A handful of kids
These are some of the cutest kids I have ever seen and they were so well behaved. You would think that doing a photo shoot with six kids would be a nightmare....not at all! We had so much fun and they were all smiles whenever they would see the camera. They made my job easy!



Two Little Girls
These girls were so full of energy, they kept me quite busy! But it was a fun morning and it was wonderful to spend time with them and capture some of their little girl moments.

Big sister, she was such a little poser, always had a big smile ready

Little sister, smelling the flowers....she was such a sweetheart

And one of the few of them together........a 2 year old is hard to keep at one spot for long!

Yep.....she was getting tired of me! :o) After two hours I don't blame her for being worn out!

I just got finished from a three day photo shoot at the Janie and Jack store at the Mall at Millenia. I was hired by Precious Time Photography to be the in-store photographer for a promotional. It was so wonderful to be doing what I love to do. I got to take pictures of some of the cutest kids out there. I was worn out after the three days....I'm still recovering! :o) But it was so worth it! Here are some of my favorites:







Thanks to Jason Cannon for getting this action shot of me!

Panama City Florida - Ironman November 4th
What an AMAZING week we had with some amazing friends! My husband and I drove to Panama City to support and cheer on our close friend Jason Cannon as he competed in the Ironman. He finished with a time of 11:28. For those of you who don't know what an Ironman is, to put it in simple words, it is beating your body and making it your slave! (I Corinthians 9:27) It consists of a 2.4 mile ocean swim, 112 mile bike ride and then a 26.2 mile run. To experience the Ironman is truly inspiring. The best part....Jason wanted us all to run the finish line shute with him. He said he couldn't have finished this race without his support crew. So when we saw him come around the turn we all joined him in runnning across the finish line! The time away was much needed and some great memories were made!

Jason and Me......you will be hearing a lot about him in the blogs to come....this is who taught me so much about photography and has inspired me to pursue this dream. He not only finished the Ironman but he is also an amazing photographer.

Beautiful Hailey - October 29
What a fun day...... 2 year old Hailey kept me busy! She was such a joyful little girl and so much fun to take pictures of. By the end of the photo shoot she was taking my hand and walking with me.....I love it when a kid will warm up to me. It's my goal to become their friend and make sure they have a fun time!


Discovery Pointe Children's Pictures - October 29th
This past Sunday I was asked to take pictures of all of the children in our children's ministry at church. It was a long morning but I had a great time. It was good practice for me to use my studio lighting again. Here are a few of the pictures......my favorites were the little ones.......

Jarrod and Courney's wedding - October 28th

Last weekend Jason Cannon had a wedding in Daytona Beach, I went along to be his assistent. It was a long day, 11am until midnight.....but this is the way I enjoy spending a day! And even though I was kept very busy assisting Jason...I did have a few chances to take pictures of the cute little flower girls.



And I couldn't resist this little boy....a photographer in the making.
Felix and Carmen's Wedding - October 21st

My neighbor's father was getting married so they asked me to photograph the wedding. It was a small wedding and we had a great time. The best part....they had salsa dancing! They even allowed me to put my camera down for one dance!

And the highlight of the wedding was taking pictures of this little boy, Oscar. This is one of many! He was shy at first, hiding his face....but after a little while he was all smiles.
