Uh…dude.  How cute is this little peace-throwin’ munchkin with his Daddy?   I really do enjoy pretty much every aspect of my job…but I L-O-V-E a newborn shoot.  Some make you work a little harder for it….ALL tinkle on something or someone during it…but sweet and delicious none the less.  It sure is fun to be able to capture this stage…during a time when parents are nothing but sleep-deprived and foggy….especially since it’s fleeting.   You guys seem to be settling in nicely and the pups are pretty cool with him too!

 

Let’s discuss.  How many of you know….a 3-year old….who is constantly happy, sweet and full of sunshine?!  I know there are moments…..and I do realize that he wakes before the roosters…but he is one of the sweetest, little angels I know.  Katy – thank you for a great week…and “M”, thank you for all the smiles….and information about Neptune’s gases…and Pluto’s dwarfness…and Saturn’s rings….

Just got in from shooting THIS bride’s GREAT wedding……and have been dying to post some shots from her bridal portrait a few weeks ago.

I met this cute family a couple of years ago……back when Miss Priss was just about two.  We had sooo much fun chatting around the pool, playing on the beach and scaring each other.  I don’t think the afternoon could have been more perfect with the weather, water and laughter we had going on!  So good to see you again.  Check out the anxious anticipation of Daddy’s “boo!”

If you’re ever in Palm Beach and need a little getaway with the children…..it is worth getting down to see the champion-size Kapok tree.  Its roots are massive, sprawling and crawling with lizards.  The garden in which it sits is beautiful, shaded and by the water – a nice place to let the children go!  I met these fun little guys down there yesterday….take a peek!

So…yes, I’m down in southern Florida…but these cute people are cousins of a little boy on Henry’s (my youngest) football team and a little girl that used to go to preschool with Henry back in Charleston.   Remember the human stack of siblings with a newborn on top?!  That’s them!  At any rate, these guys just moved down from NY and we happened to meet up to play yesterday afternoon.  When I asked the little girl what grade she was in; her response was, “Kindergarten.”  When that was the same answer for her brother….I asked if they were twins….her response, “No, we’re Irish.”  Love it.

 

Again, some more of my favorites to visit while in PB.  We took a little field trip to a park by the zoo and got to enjoy ducks, funky trees and a little bit of boot-wearin’…or should I say boot-scootin’?!  Enjoyed our visit…and our constant giggles at the little guy trying to maneuver tromping through some tall grass, in some tall boots….!  Here’s a peek and will let you know when the rest go up.

By now these peeps are some of my favorites to visit….and they are nice enough to call on me every time I come down.  Mama decided to switch it up and change locations – and boy did we have a nice time at a beautiful spot.  So much fun seeing everyone grow…and both are getting so much bigger it was fun to “play” this time!!

 

“C”, “B” and “J” are some cute little peeps I visit every so often when I’m down here in Florida.  We made up a clever game of tag…had some fun hiding in the bushes from Mama…a game Leap Frog that might have been a tall order for lil “J”….and when I left – they got to have an egg hunt!  All of that sounds a whole lot better than the hours of h-o-m-e-w-o-r-k that goes on in my household!  Thanks for having me over…I had fun with you guys!

 

Back down in Florida for some fun this week…..first up – this cute Mama with her sweet pups.  Taking them to the beach was a new one for them…Bella was brave and got her toes in the water….Eddie, not so much….the sand was enough of a stretch for him.  We had a little cameo from my nephew….too bad he’s so grumpy!  Thanks for calling on me – loved getting to see everyone again.  Oh, is it just me….or does Eddie look like he’s got a tie on?  “What chu talkin’ bout, Willis?
