Rachel and Her Family

This photo shoot was very special to me.  Rachel and I are cousins.  We are almost exactly a year apart.  We saw each other every other weekend for years as both of our parents went through custody battles and divorces.  Rachel and I hiked up "mountains" together, we played creative games with pens, buttons, and coasters at my grandmothers house.  We watched Hee Haw, Golden Girls, and Bob Ross with my grandparents.  We made up stories about the man on the dime.  In high school, we even took a class together - Spanish III.  She is one of my favorite cousins so I was honored to take photos of her family.  As I was editing these photos, at one point I actually had a weird flashback to our childhood as I looked closely at her youngest daughter's face.  She looks so much like Rachel I couldn't believe my eyes.  This photo shoot was taken at her husband's family farm and it was like old times climbing a hill with Rachel.  Here are some of my favs.

Miss Hannah

Miss Hannah lives here in Orlando area but is the cousin of Miss Evelyn of North Carolina that I photographed back in October.  I do believe there is some resemblance there, agree?  Miss Hannah will turn one on July 4th, my favorite holiday.  She was such a joy to work with that I almost did not want to put my camera down.  Her gorgeous blue eyes and her adorable personality were a lot of fun.  Thanks to Christine for referring this little cute girl to me.  Here are some of my favs.

Ethan is Growing Up

Last summer I photographed Ethan and his family over at Disney.  This year as Ethan turns two we met up near his family's neighborhood to capture how much he has grown in the last year.  Gone are the days of infant features and now Ethan looks more like a small man.  Here are a few favorites from the day.

A Baby Biologist

If a child is born to two biologists, she has gotta love science, right?  We shall see very soon! Mary Beth and Joe are expecting their first baby girl in a week or two.  About two weeks ago, I met this wonderful couple in their backyard to take some amazing maternity photos.  Joe & Mary Beth were so much fun to work with and I cannot wait to meet their daughter very soon.  Keep an eye out for her newborn pictures and in the mean time, take a few ganders at some of my favorites.

The Bell Family

I met up with David & Bianca Bell at Lake Eola Park.  Years ago, David & Bianca had their engagement photos taken here and now they are returning with their first son.  It was such a pleasure to photograph such a gorgeous and happy family.  Here are a few of my most favorite photos.

My Alaskan Cruise

To celebrate my recent graduation, my fiance and I went on a cruise to Southeastern Alaska.  We had a blast and of course my camera captured some of the beauty of Alaska and Victoria, Canada.  It was so hard to pick some of my favorites but I had to share these photos.  Enjoy!
