First blogpost of 2012 - Winter Park Family Photographer

Hello January. My how you have flown by.... I have had every intention of blogging at least 10 times this month... Yet, here we are on Friday the 13th and I am making my FIRST post of 2012. I *wish* that I had an excuse to give (even a lame one).  Must get better about this blog stuff. Period.  I still have tons of Hawaii images to upload and post.  Maybe tomorrow :)

Enough talk about my inadequacies...  let's show you some images from one of my late 2011 sessions.  LOVE LOVE LOVE this family.   

Winding Down.... whew! - Orlando Family Portrait photographer

In all the crazy holiday hub-bub.... I'm taking a moment to update my poor old neglected blog.  I still have TONS of Hawaii vacation photos to share.... and I will... someday.  :)

Right now, I'm finishing up my shooting engagements for the year.  It feels really good!  This year was FANTASTIC!  Busiest one yet.  I loved every single one of my clients and hope they return next year!  I have some exciting things planned for 2012 and will share them with you soon. 

Until then, enjoy these 2 cuties!  I had MANY favorites from this session.  Love this family.  :)

Happy Holidays!

Winter Park Child Photographer - Miss G

Oh my goodness... I love this little girl so much it hurts. She's the daughter of one of my old school besties and one of my son's favorite playmates.   I've thoroughly enjoyed watching her grow up to be such a sweet and vivacious little lady. She's no stranger to this blog... you can find her HERE and HERE.

I'm just getting started on this gallery....  more images to follow. 
Until then....  This sneak peek is for you Sunny!  I love you and Miss G more than you will ever know. 

favorite things about Hawaii part 2

In Florida, we have snowcones. In Louisiana, they have snowballs. In Hawaii, they have shave ice. These three items are NOT the same.
We had heard that the BEST shave ice on Oahu could be found at the North Shore.... so off we went to find out. TRUE STORY. The Volcom Store shave ice stand has the *old school* crank ice shaver which provides superior shave ice. 
North Shore shave ice - CHECK!
Stay tuned for more photos of our Hawaiin adventure. 
Aloha!

As promised in my earlier post... Here's the image that little man is SO very proud of.

Honu Heaven

We're home from Hawaii! Words cannot describe how much we LOVED it there. We spent 2 weeks exploring the island of Oahu and doing our best to immerse ourselves into the culture. The North Shore is home to Laniakea Beach (aka Turtle Beach). This little gem is famous for epic surf and daily visits from green sea turtles. We loved this experience so much, we visited two times. Little man was in heaven (our fam *really* digs sea turtles). He ran around taking photos at various angles and even captured a shot of one turtle yawning! Photo momma wasn't ready and missed it. He was SO excited, he shouted... "I got it" and received praise from other onlookers. Photo momma was proud :) I will post his image later... as it surely deserves it's own post!

Will post more about our amazing vacation soon! STILL trying to get back into the EST groove.

Aloha!
