Veteran's Day 2012 {South Florida National Cemetary-Lake Worth, FL}

Today, let's not forget that our freedom is not free and give thanks to all of the brave men and women who have made the ultimate sacrifice.  God Bless America! 

Only 10 weeks to go.... {Maternity-Parkland, FL}

Today was a gorgeous morning for a photo shoot!  Heather and Ryan made my job extremely easy.  Both of them were laid back, easy going and very pleasant to work with!  Thank you for allowing me to play a role in capturing memories of your beautiful and growing family! 

I was LOVING the tiny All Stars!  Too cute!

Guests Traveled Far & Wide to See the Beautiful Bride! {Wedding-Ft. Lauderdale, FL}

What a beautiful waterfront wedding!  The bride and groom traveled from Boston down to sunny South Florida for their special day.  Guests traveled from as far as Hawaii (the bride's home state) and California for the joyous occasion!  The weather was perfect and a few friends of the bride and groom joked that they looked like a bridal version of Ken and Barbie....I'd have to say I definitely agree that they make a gorgeous couple!  Congratulations to you, Mr. and Mrs. Brady! 

 

 

 

I absolutely LOVED all of her girlfriend's dresses...I teased that we could have had a photoshoot for Nordstom's summer collection that afternoon considering the stunning styles and colors the girls chose!

I found this piece of slate at Crate & Barrel and thought it would be perfect for "special messages" during events and shoots!  I think it turned out nicely and can serve as a centerpiece for THANK YOU cards from the happy couple!

Hoosier Hospitality {Senior Pictures-Parkland, FL}

Nothing is more exciting than having the opportunity to work with new and fabulous clients!  What makes it even more enjoyable is when they have "roots" that link up with mine!  I had the incredible pleasure of taking Jocelyn's senior pictures...she is also a Hoosier at heart. (For those of you who don't know, that means she is from Indiana!)

In addition to playing the violin, Jocelyn is a pianist and a soccer player.  A very well rounded young lady with an extremely level head on her shoulders.  

I wish you luck in your future endeavors, Jocelyn!  Congratulations on your upcoming graduation! 

A True Bundle of Joy! {4 month portraits-Jupiter, FL}

People often describe babies as a bundle of joy, but in this situation, Jackson has truly been an extreme source of joy and happiness...especially for his GG!  I spent a little bit of quality time (it's never enough) up in Jupiter with Lori this weekend and was so happy I was able to take a few pictures of her and Jackson!  Below is my favorite of our impromptu photo shoot...this child certainly makes her eyes light up, and for that, I am so grateful. (PS: I love you, LKG!)

Lori and her two favorite little boys! 

 

And a few of just the handsome little guy...

Mommy and Daddy's little man!

Jackson loves his mommy! :-) 

A Natural Beauty {Senior Portraits-Las Olas, FL}

I had the pleasure of photographing Brooke for her senior pictures!  Brooke is a vibrant and mild mannered young lady, who, as you can see is beautiful.  I teased her throughout our session because prior to beginning the shoot, she mentioned that she is not photogenic.  Clearly, the following photos prove her theory wrong!  Thank you Brooke for a fun filled day with lots of laughter! You are extremely photogenic, my dear! ;-)

Congratulations, Mr. and Mrs. Williams {Wedding-Deerfield Beach, FL}

Heather and Jeff were married on December 18th at Deer Creek Country Club!  I had such a wonderful time photographing these two.  It is quite evident within the first few minutes of being around them just how in love they are!  Congratulations and I wish you many happy years together as husband and wife! 

 

 

 Sticking with tradition, they chose not to see each other that morning so they were left to texting back and forth before the ceremony! 

The groom with his handsome sidekick!  

Mom snapping a quick pic on her phone of Daddy and his little girl! 

When Jeff saw Heather walking down the aisle, his reaction gave me goosebumps.  So sweet!

"You may kiss the bride!"

 

The sun sank so fast following the ceremony, but thanks to some quick maneuvering on a golf cart, we were able to get a few gorgeous shots with the various hues of the sunset! 

The pretty cake...

Take a close look at their cake topper! 

Notice anything "special"!?  I thought this was so adorably playful!
