Beach Family Portraits - St. George Island Family Photographer

Love this family. Love beach portraits. Love how this session turned out. Enjoy!

2009 Year of Memories <3

I made a collage of "as many as I could fit" memory-making images for me this past year. I look at each of these images with a feeling from that day. It's amazing how much happened last year and how much I feel a part of because of my wonderful friends, family, and clients. Each picture means something special to me. Thank you all for letting me in to your lives...I hope we continue to see more of each other in 2010...And because the New Year is here already, I'll be advertising some Valentine's specials very very soon! love you all!

Brogan

We had some family friends come all the way from England to the beach to spend Christmas with us. Brogan is 14 and a joy to be around. I took just a few headshots for her mom right before we left. Her eyes are just gorgeous!

Martin & Kelli

About 30 minutes before we loaded up to leave the beach house we did a quick mini-session with my brother Martin and his girlfriend Kelli. Martin & Kelli are in the Marines ROTC at FAMU. Martin will be commissioned as an officer in the Marine Corp in April and Kelli will be headed to Officers Candidate School this summer. Hopefully before they go we can get a full session in town since it might be a while before they come home at the same time again. I couldn't be more proud of them.




This one may be my favorite...

Holiday at the Beach

So this month we've been spending as much time as possible at the beach house we rented this year. Please excuse the excessive about of collages but imagine how many individual images I could possibly have for all the time we have spent here.

First, let me say it has been an unusually warm December and this year our pool is NOT heated yet the boys managed to go swimming a few times.


The boys received their response letters from Santa and were excited to read them out loud to everyone.


My mom's dog, Denver, has been a blast at the beach with my little dogs. He is a St. Bernard mix and absolutely adorable.


My family loves the sunsets we get down here at St. George Island.


And of course Christmas morning a little chaos but still so much fun. The kids had a great Christmas and we did too - my mom is sending us away to a bed & breakfast! I can't wait!


Oh and we can't forget my two favorite foods for Christmas dinner - fried turkey and my mom's mashed potatoes - yummy!


Overall it's been a great December and Christmas. Headed home tomorrow - I'll miss the sounds of the waves when we leave our door open at night but it is always so nice to go home.

Brook & Josh

I have quite a few things to blog about but I'm most excited about this one...my sister, Brook-Lyn and her boyfriend, Josh, are here at the beach for a few days before they fly home to Colorado. This afternoon we went out and took a few fun beach portraits.










I love being able to see my sister but I love more seeing her happy and in love. I'll miss her when she flys home on Monday :(

Alexis and Family

My cousin Alexis brought her family down to the beach for some family portraits last weekend. She has such cute kids! We did some beach portraits, Christmas portraits and some Alexis portraits. Alexis is an aspiring Country music star so we took some images for her Myspace and such. Enjoy!
