Be sure not to miss the Tribute to Mothers and Daughters Portrait Exhibit at the Driftwood Mall this week. The exhibit will run until June 27th so invite your friends and family to check it out! Thank you to all the lovely ladies who took part in this years event.
It was so fantastic to have Jerry photograph James and I for our engagement. We used the first image for our invitatons and were totally thrilled with them. A big "thank you" to Jerry for the great work that he did for us. I'll be sure to post wedding pictures in August.
...when someone is so cute that you just want to squish em?? This has to be one of those times.
These portraits are lovely with the rich color tones of the trees. A perfect setting and just the right place to be when the it clouds over and threatens to rain on your portrait session.
...these are the women running through our minds dozens of times per day. These are the women we call up, to share an idea or a dream. Just to know their thoughts, just to listen, just to share. To know that their day went well, or it didn't. Just because we love them. Because we care, because they matter to us. Because their influence, their closeness, and the relationship that we share with them is the most important thing in our lives.
Our Tribute to Mothers and Daughters Event is now in full swing. This is just the beginning of the the beautiful Mother Daughter portraits. Much more to come. Don't forget to visit our display in the Driftwood Mall in mid June. Ladies, we will be calling you to remind you to bring your family and friends out so you can show off your awesome portraits. Thank you for your enthusiastic participation in this event. What an important relationship to celebrate!
We just have to share some of these little guys from the Daycare that Jerry just photographed. How cute are these? Looks like they were having a good time smiling for the camera. And I know that Jerry had his hands full but loved every minute of it!
Still full of excitement from shooting a session of an adorable premature baby boy, we took to the beach for a west coast feel with this lovely couple. And west coast feel we certainly got. It was a wild afternoon but just perfect for the style that they were looking for. We got some great shots. One of the great things about this work is the variety we encounter in a day. From an innocent baby to a couple excited to be spending time together, our days are filled with moments that we are proud to be a part of.
We had the awesome pleasure of photographing this little premature baby yesterday. What a miracle to be getting these amazing photographs of this little guy before his actual due date. These are beautiful. As you can tell, mom and dad are so proud.
This is one of those portraits that will get you. We have this one up in our front window at the office and it is definitely a crowd stopper! This little girl was just a sweety. So shy, the kind of little girl that just melts Jerry's heart. She whispers in a little voice, "I'm a bunny rabbit"

I love the feel of this portrait. The rustic beauty of the boats and the bond between the father and his son. What a privilege we have to photograph relationships like this. And don't we live in a totally awesome place!?
