Hay Day Reprieve | personal...and a public exortation

,

{Hay Day with Kids | Dunnellon, FL | October 2011} I'll be scattering a few highlights of my Florida visit sporadically throughout the next month. It'll be a good breather from the myriad of family portraits that i hope to spotlight otherwise! Frankly, i can't get enough of these munchkins anyways. It sure pays to be a mommy photographer. No--that is NOT meant to rub anything into any mommy's face. It is surely a push and shove for you mommy's to get the nerve up and start snapping away. Start with remembering your camera when you go on a walk to the park of reading time at the library. stuff the camera in your baby bag and promise yourself you'll take at least 10 pictures that will document the day's activity well enough. It'll rock your world when you realize you remember the little moments so much better when there are images to remind you. I love it! I would remember only a fraction of my kids early childhood if it weren't for the pictures I've obsessively taken of different excursions and milestones. (I confess it was largely a coping/survival mechanism, but nevertheless...) Praise the Lord for the blessing of photography!...and I'm overjoyed to be able to share some of the fun and memories with you! | lkm it's stinkin cute when you ask Judah & Jordyn to 'hug' or 'show some love'--they really get into it--shamelessly; unabashed :) oh innocence how i love thee. thank you aunt beth for taking one of the few mommy&me pics i snagged while in florida :)

Jenkins Family | Tucson Family Photography | Agua Caliente

{Jenkins Family | Agua Caliente, Tucson, AZ | November 2011} It's a small world after all. Thanks to facebook :) Alisha was referred to me by our good friends, the Zunighas in California and then we found out we had a bunch of mutual friends (yay facebook) and hit it off right away. I enjoyed getting to know their sweet family. Piper was cute as a bugs ear (because we ALL know bug's ears are stinkin cute) and God was kind enough to splatter a few special sunbeams right along our path for some great shots!

Appleman Family | Tucson Family Photographer | Agua Caliente

{Appleman Family | Agua Caliente, Tucson, AZ | November 2011} This is my favorite time of the year when it comes to photography. I get to hang out with families like the Applemans and laugh my socks off over the funny things that happen during our time together. With this session, Lucy was our laugh. She brought her 'game face' to the shoot and just kept 'em coming. :) Such a treat to take spend some time with you Applemans!

Josh + Sarah | Engagement Session | Dunnellon, FL | Florida Wedding Photographer

, ,

Sarah & Josh are getting married next May and I had the ripe privilege of shooting their engagement pictures while in Central Florida last month. According to Sarah's mom, there is WAY too much kissing going on in these pictures. But I'm pretty sure Sarah just nodded and say, 'Yup! It's perfect.' Sarah & Josh, thank you so much  for letting me hang out with you two for an afternoon, get up 'in your business', ask you to smooch more often than might be healthy, and all that stuff that makes me smile about my job. We're just gonna have check and see if we get to hang out again...oh, like say, next May?! ;)

John + Angie | 10.22.11 | Dunnellon, FL | Florida Wedding Photography

I have never met a man who smiles as much as John Webb does. That grin is so notorious that it even made the best man's speech. Furthermore, he makes his new bride laugh more than I can stand. (audible giggle) And no joke, my face hurts due to the goofy ear-to-ear grin I had while editing these wedding highlights. So so thankful I got to be a part of their day! Below is a lil' slideshow of their wonderfulness. Click HERE to visit their online gallery to view/purchase pictures! :)

Richardsons & Co. | Dunnellon Pumpkin Patch

{Richardsons & Co | Dunnellon, FL Pumpkin Patch | 10.15.2011}

Traipsin' through the pumpkin patches with this crew was overwhelming (cough) i mean, fantastic! lol Dunnellon apparently takes it's pumpkin pickin' quite seriously. It's patch stretches for ACRES and includes a sunflower patch, hay ride, hay slides and a cluster of fall activities for more kid fun. The Richardson clan strutted they wild and wonderful antics as they snatched up their favorite pepo.
