Baby CC

Another slideshow

Engagement slideshow

I decided to play with some portraits in Animoto. The music seems to be "hanging up" when you first start the slideshow. If it happens to you, pause the slideshow until it loads completely and then play. Enjoy!

Little "N"

This little guy holds a special place in my heart. I've been friends with his Mommy for years. We don't get to see each other much but she's one of my dearest friends. 

It's a good thing that he is special to me because the little rascal wouldn't sit! I promised his Mommy that I would meet her at the park one day for some candid shots. You see, the problem is that he's been neglected. He's never really had his portraits taken on a regular basis so he just doesn't know what to do. We'll have to fix that because he's just way too cute not to have his little mug plastered all over the walls. I may just have to kidnap him and return him with pictures. It's just disgraceful not to have baby pictures! Get with it, Mommy! (she knows that I'm just giving her a hard time!)

If all else fails, start singing and let him dance!

Mommy stuck him in quick and I snapped the shot. 

Thanks Mommy for letting me play with Little N today. I love you little man! 

Engagement Portraits

I had an engagement session bright and early this morning. I was out later than I expected to be last night so I was completely out of sorts (read creativity). I think that we got some awesome shots despite my lack of creativity though.

Thanks W & M for meeting with me so early. With all of the shade on your property, we probably could have met even later in the day. We'll know for next time. In the meantime, here is a preview!

Isn't this the sweetest picture? This was taken on a bridge that was built by M's Grandfather. Pretty neat!

Happy 4th of July

Happy 4th of July to everyone. I feel extremely blessed to have been born into the United States of America and there is not one single day that goes by that I don't give thanks to God for that.

I want to take a moment to thank our service men and women and their families. Thank you for your sacrifices. We remember those that have been lost and pray that everyone else comes home safe and soon. God Bless you!

I attended the Lutz 4th of July parade with my family this morning. My husband grew up in Lutz and we lived there together for a short time after we were married. Going to the parade has become somewhat of a tradition. We were able to take our daughter for the first time this year. We were just waiting to meet her last year! It was so awesome to have her with us this year.

Below are just a few pictures from the parade. I took 290. I'm not sure what I'll do with all of them yet but I had fun taking them.




This is a sweet little girl that stood next to us as we all watched the parade. I seem to meet the cutest kids when I am out. Thanks to Dad and Little Miss "S" for allowing me to snap these shots. I enjoyed watching you grab candy and beads! Enjoy your summer!


She posed all on her own. How cute!


And.. you know that if there's a Kubota (or any tractor for that matter) around, it's going to be captured by me.

Stay safe and enjoy your holiday.

Textures and Brushes

I was bored earlier and decided to play with textures and brushes. This is the result. I think I like it...
