Tis the season!

I spent a little time photographing some of the holiday decor around the house! Here are just a few of the photos that made me smile this Christmas season!

Rebecca and Ryder

When Rebecca contacted me to do a photo shoot with her yellow lab, Ryder, I was all too excited because I love dogs!



Such a good boy!


My favorite of the day! Ryder staring up so fondly at his mommy!

A little fun with the unique lighting of the sunrise!


Ryder had a little bit of accidental freedom! Luckily, mom was able to round him up before we got fined for having a dog on the beach! (*Please reference the final picture of this post)

OOPS! ;-)

The Erskine Family

I shot the Erskine's photos at the beach one chilly South Florida evening. The temps were actually in the 60's for a change. (that is pretty cold for Floridians and mom almost cancelled because she thought it might have been a little too cold!) I am glad we didn't, because it really turned out to be a beautiful night!

What a gorgeous family! They look like they stepped right off the pages of a magazine!


Please note the waves in the background! We never get surf like that this far south unless a hurricane is approaching!

Such a handsome and sweet young man!

I just love the interaction between big brother and little sis! They are so adorable!

Rain Boots!

I tend to have an "obsession" of sorts with photos of colorful shoes...I just love this shot of these cherry rain boots!

SPLISH SPLASH!

It is time to do a little bragging on how adorable my niece, Mariah, is...I was over at the house during the week and got to capture bath time! These pictures put the biggest smile on my face!

Showing some love for her rubber ducky!


Lots of silly faces for Auntie Traci!

Karina

What a natural beauty--inside and out! It was very nice working with Karina...she has such a wonderful personality!

The Jaffe Family

I had the pleasure of photographing the fun and fabulous Jaffe Family last weekend! They were so outgoing and great to work with! Below are some of the moments we were able to capture!


I couldn't have been more pleased than when I pulled up at their house and they had a beautiful red couch sitting outside for the shoot!



Dad thought that it would be funny to put his girls to work while he caught up on his gardening literature!

They turned off their fountain to make for a picture perfect tiered pose!



Some of my favorite fun shots of the day incorporated their trampoline! It took so much self control not to get up there to bounce with them! (for those of you who know me well, you know that I LOVE trampolines)

Their puppy Coco, who has "two left ears"!
