Share the Love….THE EVENT!!!!! | South Florida Family Photographer

Tuesday, February 2, 2010 Posted in paying it forward

From beginning to end, planning and coordinating “Share the Love”, and truly being a part of something so much bigger than myself is in fact, one of the most rewarding experiences of my life! Families came out from all over to participate and be photographed. Although I have to admit, “my” families were truly the best looking with the cutest kids! (except of course my own kids, who were photographed by two other photographers, check out some AMAZING photos of my son taken by Jessica of Jessican Lorren Photography HERE!)

His Daddy was my lab partner in 10th grade physics with Dr. Flynn!

I could photograph this little guy all day! Between his gorgeous eyes, and his mom’s flowing long hair, I was in photog heaven!

My own little ones, I was able to grab a few of them!

We’re going through a huge Star Wars phase right now!

Claudia Apaid, the founder of Sow a Seed, along with my very good friend Diane, and Daphne Gonzales another Sow a Seed mover and shaker.

These are Diane’s gorgeous daughters! I taught Carly (the one I’m hugging) when she was in first grade. Now she’s a freshman in high school!

Share the Love: Update…

Tuesday, February 2, 2010 Posted in paying it forward

“Share the Love: The Ultimate Family Photography Event” took place this past Saturday. It was an amazing event! Thank you so much to everyone who came out, both photographers and families. Pictage, one of the largest pro labs in the country sponsored the event. They are donating the cost of the prints, so that not only do 100% of the session fees go to benefit Sow a Seed, but also 100% of the proceeds from print sales as well! How exciting! The day before the event, Rebekah Hood of Kallima Photography and myself were interviewed on NBC 6 local morning talk show “Today: South Florida”. Here are some behind the scenes peeks!!!

We drove together. Live taping started at 11:00 am. We arrived at around 10:30.

Girlie Girl….. | South Florida Family Photographer

Monday, January 18, 2010 Posted in south florida family photographer

If it’s pink, frilly, dangly, jingly, or shiny Stella loves it! Of course, I definitely encourage it! She will actually sit and let me paint her toenails, and then sit and wait for them to dry. I love it!

North Carolina Day 3 | South Florida Family Photographer

Wednesday, January 13, 2010 Posted in south florida family photographer

After two fun filled snow days, I think the snow started to loose its novelty to Owen. We stayed indoors most of the day! Which was great for staying toasty by the fire and catching up with cousins!

Hi Daddy!!!!…. | South Florida Family Photographer

Tuesday, January 12, 2010 Posted in south florida family photographer

This adorable little guy’s daddy left for Iraq right before Christmas, for 10 months!!! Mom wanted to create a very special Valentine to send to him. As a Mom, I can’t even imagine what it must be like flying solo for so long. I hate it when my husband has to work late. I was so taken with how strong she is. She’s getting ready to move back up to North Carolina, alone, so that she has the support of other families who also have loved ones overseas. She’s an example to us all! Not to mention she’s absolutely gorgeous!

Family… | Ft Lauderdale Family Photographer

Sunday, January 10, 2010 Posted in south florida family photographer

We booked this session months ago. This brother and sister wanted to do something really special for their parent’s 50th anniversary. So we scheduled a sunrise beach shoot for the first week of January. Little did we know that it would be the coldest morning of the year. 32 DEGREES! It was so cold!!!! But watching the sunrise with a brother and sister who laughed as they shared stories with me of their childhood was an incredibly warm experience!

Happy Anniversary to your mom and dad!
