Katherine and Doug are Engaged!

I am always incredibly honored when one of my couples refers me to someone - I don't think there is any greater compliment. So I was thrilled when Cori gave my name to Katherine. She and her fiance Doug are going to be getting married next year at the same place as Cori and Travis, the Florida Carriage Museum. I am so excited about getting to photograph another amazing couple at such a beautiful venue!
A few weeks ago the couple came all the way over here to Melbourne for their engagement session. Despite the intense sunlight and heat, they did a great job modeling :) I hope you two enjoy the photos, and I can't wait for your wedding! It will be here before you know it!

In the "Getting To Know You" questionnaire that I had them fill out, Katherine said that she loves how Doug jokes around, while he said that he loves how she puts up with him. So I wanted to take a picture to reflect that...

Congratulations you two! Thanks again for coming all this way; I can't wait for your wedding.

Welcome Baby Andy!

A few weeks ago I got to do one of my favorite sessions ever: I got to go to the hospital to photograph little Andy when he was just 2 days old. I had previously photographed Christina, Michael, and their son Matty at their home, but once little Andy came along they wanted some pictures in the hospital. I was just thrilled to do it! What a special time, and what better way to remember it than with some fun pictures :) Anyways, I had so many favorites... so this post is a bit longer than usual!

He was not very happy at first...

But Momma makes it all better!

Christina's Mom was there to help...

Look at him holding up his head! I love his little nose!

Matty was being a good helper.

He found his thumb!

This picture makes me laugh - life with two kids :)

Proud Daddy!

LOVE little feet!

I really love this one.

What a sweet big brother!

Congratulations on your new baby! Thank you for letting me be a part of it all.

Headshots

Recently I have been doing a number of headshots for some area professionals. It is a great way to show your best side in a professional manner. And as a side note, whenever I shoot an engagement or portrait session I always try to get at least one headshot for you to use if you need it. It sure beats the driver's license photos! :)

Recently I did a few headshots for Consulate Health Care, which is a local nursing home. Last year I photographed all of their main staff members for the main entrance of the home, and they had me come back out a few weeks ago to get a few more. I love this kind of natural portrait - I think it makes for a natural and welcoming entrance, don't you?
