Jasmine and Javier's Engagement Portraits

This lovely couple made for a fun engagement portrait session!  Thank God the weather cooperated to get their outdoor portraits done as those turned out to be their favorites from the session!  Javier and Jasmine, it was a pleasure to do your portraits!  My husband and I are so happy for you two! We love you and wish God's best for you!

Ambrielle Grace at 12 days old

What a darling, BEAUTIFUL baby girl!  Ambrielle Grace was 12 days old when she came for her first portraits yesterday.  We started with studio lighting in a wicker basket on top of my bedroom dresser.  Thanks Ron for helping me haul the dresser into the studio!  The second part of the session with window lighting was the clients favorites.  We covered the mom in white material as a background for Ambrielle's detail shots except for the one with dad holding her in his jacket.  Ambrielle, you are just so cute!  It's going to be fun watching you grow!

Strawberry cheesecake and a cute couple!

Fabian and Andrea came over recently as I promised my grandson Fabian I would fix his favorite dessert for his birthday--strawberry cheesecake.  Along with the dessert and a nice meal, we took studio portraits.  To view their session favorites, see the four portraits below....

Reni and her family's portrait session

Since we needed a new principal portrait for our church's school website, I thought we'd kill two birds with one stone by updating family portraits since Reni (short for Serenity) was added to the family about six months ago.  I really liked the clients's idea of using a mirror for one of Reni's poses.  Also, the client noticed some numbered blocks that we used for another pose for Reni.  The clients' favorites from the session are shown below for you to enjoy!

Announcing "Baby Mo's" arrival in February...

Gabriel and Me-Me wanted an outdoor session to announce their baby's arrival in February.  They nicknamed their baby, Baby Mo'... short for Moody.  The images below (except for the middle one) was used for their announcement cards.  Congratulations Gabriel and Me-Me!  I'm happy for you!

Jace and his family's portraits

Our final day in Tampa took us to a beautiful park on MacDill Air Force Base where we took family portraits.  Jace, his immediate family, and two grandmothers are included in the portraits taken at this beach setting in South Florida.

Jace's 1st birthday cake celebration

Jace, my great grandson, turned one on August 15 and we celebrated at Carraba's in Tampa.  I know its hard to believe I'm a great grandmother as I don't look that old! :)  What's hard to believe is my daughter Angela is a grandmother!  Here are a few of Victoria's (Jace's mother) favorites for your viewing pleasure!
