One Man's Trash......

I was riding down the street one morning and as I pass my neighbor's house, I find this bed sitting out by the curb. See, my neighbors have been moving all month and sitting trash out by the curb. Now, I always look at the things sitting by the curb. I can't help it. So, see my vigilance lands me a prop.

I get out and look at it. Then I peep at the other stuff beside it. And finally, I pop the trunk and stick it inside. I get inside the house and show Jerry my find. He wants to know did the neighbors see me digging through their trash. Ha! I didn't really think of it that way. So, I sand it and paint it red. And look what I have for a few bucks and some work.

So, I grab my little baby, who is 9 months old! I can't believe it! And we are off to play.

She fell asleep in the car, so I wasn't sure how she would act in front of the camera. We spent about 15 minutes out there in the park, but she was all smiles and this face. This is her excited face. It's hilarious when she does it! I was singing "Pat-a-Cake". She loves that song.

Look at my Sweet Rylie! You have two teeth coming in and are handling it like a trooper. You shake your her head "no" when you are asked what sounds like a question (and other random times). You clap and sing along when we are singing. You are not quite crawling, but you hate to be on the floor. So, who knows if you'll ever crawl if that's your attitude. You're a pro in your walker, though. You hate for someone to get up and leave the room. That will surely cause a melt down. I like how when we are eating, you will taste the first spoonful with a nibble to make sure you like it. Yeah, you have learned if you don't like it, then you can spit it back out. You are overall, a very happy baby with lots of smiles and giggles. We love you Little Rylie.

Briana is 6 months old....{St Petersburg Baby Photographer}

I think I love this age. Six month old can sit up and babble. They really take notice of Momma and you get to catch glimpses of their own special personality. And a big plus is that they care nothing about the camera. 

Meet Little Ms. Briana. I could have taken her picture all day; she was so content playing with the grass and lifting her dress.

More and more, I'm discovering that I LOVE black and white photos. This next photo just cracks me up. I wish I could remember what made her laugh so :0)!

Next, she changed into her Communion Dress. It was gorgeous and white and boy did she like playing with this dress.

Mom even brought her certificate.

Briana. Sweet. Quiet. Beautiful. Piercing blue eyes. I could tell she had her Mom wrapped around her finger. Briana just celebrated her 1/2 birthday with a party. I thought that was so cute! 

It was so nice meeting you. I enjoyed hanging out with you all in 90+ degree weather. Ha! I hope I captured the true essence of your little sweetie.

I'm always a little excited....{St Petersburg Baby Photographer}

I'm always a little excited to share at least one from photo sessions. So this time I thought I would share two. Ha! Two of little Briana; a sweet little baby with the most piercing blue eyes.

I'll be back soon to share more......

Brooks Family of 5 {St Petersburg Family Photographer}

Sunday morning, I got to hang out with this lovely family at Clearwater Beach. I was a little nervous because of the morning sun. Thankfully it was an overcast day with peaks from the sun. This was my kind of session. It was really relaxed with very little posing. The day started with lots of playing and frolicking in the water. Enjoy your sneak peak!

I liked the color as well as the black and white, so here's both!

I had to post one! This Dad got a little crazy! So only one and a pretty relaxed One at that. Huh?

This is one of my favorites. Doesn't this photo just speak to you? Or does it just speak to me? Ha!

This is probably my absolute favorite of the day.

This One talked a lot about modeling. He's got a Young Tyson Beckford and Tyrese going on.

You are an amazing family, with bright and smart kids and I am so glad that we got to hang out together.

Just one for right now.....[St Pete Family Photographer]

I have just one to share from my morning this past weekend with this fab family. You guys were great! Stay tuned because I have lots more.....

Nevaeh & Nalani/ St Petersburg Children Photographer

A couple of weeks ago, we traveled back to my home town. During my stay, I got to hang out with these two beauties. They were cute as can be and just as sweet.

Meet Nevaeh. Look closely at her name. Did you get it? It spells "Heaven" backward. She was definitely not a stranger to the camera.

I LOVED this one. My absolute favorite from the day.

And now, little Miss Nalani. She's 7 months old (a couple days older than my little baby) , but she looks like she is twice as big. My next absolute favorite, I'm liking the baby drool.

And she sucks her thumb too.

Thanks you guys for letting us hang out with you. I LOVE your family and now you need one more little girl to catch up with us. Ha!

Through The Eye of my Lens- {St Petersburg Photographer}

I ended up downtown by the Pier last weekend. I was kidless for the first time in a long time. So, I took off my shoes, walked around, and explored all ALONE. My Camera and I took in the late afternoon. The day felt different. And you know what? I kind of liked it!

I used to like these birds when I first came to Florida, but after stealing my food from my

hand and flying so close that I was hit in the head with his wing. We are no longer friends.

I like to people watch too. I steal photos when they aren't looking.

This was the second day in a row, that I saw dolphins swimming pretty close to shore.

But after not being able to catch him on camera, I settled for this shot. Ha!

I think I'll be doing this again soon.
