one of the best things about my job is working with wonderful people… and today was no exception. what sweet, welcoming, lovely people! i am so lucky to have been able to work with this wonderful couple, their amazing dog, and they darling baby boy. thank you for having me in your home today and allowing me to capture these new moments of you all together. i hope you enjoy every part of being new parents! congrats again! enjoy the sneak peek!

this little guy was so sweet! it was his first time (ever!) on the sand. how lucky was i to capture these first moments as they unfolded. he took a few minutes to warm up and, then loved it. after a little bit of time… he was crawling, playing and walking in it like an old pro! he collected a few shells and, soaked up some rays. it was a lovely morning and, i couldn’t have enjoyed the company of this sweet boy (and, his family!!) any more. enjoy the sneak peek!

shhh… this little sweetheart’s photos are a surprise for daddy. isn’t that sweet!! he smiled at me the second i walked in the door.. i knew he was going to be such a joy. the love between him and his mother was so evident. first, could she be any more gorgeous?? second, it’s clear, this boy is lucky to have such a loving mom to care for him and, i know his dad is going to be so happy to see his sweet face in a frame on father’s day. ok, now.. don’t tell. it’s a secret. ahhh… he is just so darling. enjoy the sneak peek!

oh. my. goodness. i have never had a child LOVE the camera as much as she did — well, it didn’t hurt that we fell in love a little bit, too it was so fun to watch her in action.. we were all laughing at her and her little model self. just take a look at this sneak peek and you will see what i mean, so cute! i had SUCH a nice time this afternoon… it was a pleasure to work with you! thanks so much.. enjoy the sneak peek!

i had the pleasure of photographing this family last year… so you can imagine how excited i was when they asked me to photograph their wedding!! we had so much fun working together in their home. i knew that it would be such a joy to see these two get married. i adore their children and, can’t stop smiling when i am in their presence. it was a beautiful ceremony and, a VERY fun reception! you know it’s a good wedding when the photographer laughs and cries right along with everyone — thank you so much for hiring me to capture your very special day. enjoy the sneak peek! happy honeymooning!! and….. CONGRATULATIONS!!!

this family is full of love! i had the pleasure of photographing them about 3 years ago and, they called me up for a new shoot and, i was overjoyed to work with them again! the mr. needed some head shots for his opera singing talents and, they wanted some updated family shots as well. we had so much fun! again, it was a beautiful day and, we all enjoyed being out in the sun – having a little fun! i hope you enjoy this sneak peek… i so enjoyed working with you again. see ya in a couple years! enjoy!

I had the wonderful opportunity to do some work that is a bit out of my “forte”.. and, it turned out to be a lot of fun! A local European Designer approached me to photograph some of his work for his website. I not only enjoyed taking the photos but, I got to see some truly beautiful craftsmanship and design. His work was amazing! The details… the minimalistic approach to beauty… the modern upgrades.. they were breathtaking! Enjoy this little sneak peak. The photos are panoramic to fit with the design of his website. If you are in need of an amazing local designer and/or remodeling company, you have to check out his site : Euro Design Remodel
