Mt. Dora Area Newborn Photography- Baby GK

Here's the little miss whose brother and sister I shot a few months ago.  She's a total cutie who also resisted sleeping for me for quite a while, but she did finally give in to sweet slumber toward the end of our shoot.  Enjoy!

Sorrento Area Newborn Photography- Baby S

Poor little baby S. She just did NOT want to sleep for me. Apparently, she slept the whole next day to make up for it though! So at least we got a couple smiley pictures and captured her in her pretty dress. We'll give it another try when she's a little older.

Mount Dora Family Photographer- P Family

What a gorgeous family!  We had a fun photo shoot-these three kiddos and I.  I've known each of them since they were born really, and so even though their mom was laid up with a bum leg (after getting hit by a car while walking into a store!), the four of us left right after church and went hopping from place to place taking pictures here and there until our rumbling tummies put an end to our photo shoot.

Mount Dora Family Photographer-H Family

I recently had the chance to do a shoot with a family that is special to me for several reasons. First, the mom Kris is not only a friend, but an amazing Pediatric Nurse Practitioner with a practice that specializes in seeing kids-sick or well- AT HOME! How great is that!?! Second, her family was my very first paying client. And third, her little boy, who is now one sticky finger old, gave me a chance to do one of my first newborn shoots ever. (And with a new "bun in the oven", I'm hoping for another newborn shoot in the not-too-distant future.)

Here are a few photos from our shoot.

AWANA Club Pictures

With four kids, I'm not always as free to volunteer as I might like to be, but since 3 of them attend AWANA and the oldest is a Leader-in-Training, I try to help out as much as I can by taking pictures. I recently did the club photos- a bit of a challenge for a natural light photographer when AWANA meets in the evenings and the sun was getting lower and lower and the shadows longer and longer. But in the end, I think the photos turned out pretty good ;-).

My Newest Cover

Nothing says FUN like a water park, and this local venue offered the perfect spot for shoot this month's cover. Is little Andre a cutie or what?

iheartfaces- Motherhood Challenge

The ladies at iheartfaces have chosen Motherhood as this week's theme. As a homeschooling mom, my whole life is about motherhood right now, and so is an awful lot of my photography! But when I thought of motherhood, it was this shoot that stuck out:

Motherhood-it's so all-encompasing...so interconnected...so defining...and Ashley is in the thick of it right now with 2 little ones. She's such a natural mom, in every sense of the word, and this shoot was great fun.

iheartfaces- Slice of Life Challenge

This week's theme over at iheartfaces is "Slice of Life." In other words, a photo captured spontaneously, just to record the moment- nothing posed, nothing planned.

This was captured over the summer on a family vacation to NY. We were hiking through Watkin's Glen, and apparently the hike up nearly 400 feet and I forget how many steps (but a LOT) was more than my eldest could handle. So as mommy stopped to take "just one more picture", he snuck off and found a quiet alcove to rest in. He never heard me sneak up and take this picture. I wonder what he was day dreaming about?
