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!

Mike & Terri

I know I'm the worst blogger in the world! But I am going to make a New Year's Resolution to be a better blogger - be better at sharing my world with you - be a better photographer because I think I learn something new everyday.

So this is bad - before Thanksgiving - that is how far behind I am - I met Mike & Terri at the beach for a session. First we did a few for their super cute Christmas Postcards and then some nice portraits. Some of my favorites from their session...Enjoy!
I forgot to mention how yummylicious the light was...






And I plan on blogging a lot in the New Year but if tomorrow slips by...HAPPY NEW YEAR from Photography by Branch!!!!!

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.

Christmas Eve Eve

Here is something fun for Christmas Eve Eve...it's called Letters from Santa and it was made on this fun website http://www.wordle.net/ The longer I look at it the more it looks 3-D to me. Enjoy!


Merry Christmas!

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!
