Look how much my baby has grown!!! Here is a picture of Ava in the tub a year ago, at age 1. Here is a picture of her now, a year later at 2! I can't believe how fast time goes by! In a blink of an eye, my little girl is a year older! Shows how important it is to document their lives.

Happy Thanksgiving!!!! We have had some very chilly weather in Florida. Definitely feels more like Thanksgiving. Ava is loving the cooler weather, and has not wanted to take off her new sweater, even when we go inside the house. I finally get to get some fall looking shots! Have a great turkey day everyone!

Lovely baby L! What a sweet baby girl! She is 3 weeks old, and is just so precious. She was the perfect model. I just love newborns, so snugly and just so darn irresistible!!!

Beach pictures at sunset. I photographed my friend's family this past weekend on the beach at around sunset. It was such a beautiful night! The girls were having a ball, enjoying the warm weather while vacationing here in Florida from chilly Virginia. The girls are so sweet, and are just gorgeous kiddos. They are a truly wonderful family!

And some more pictures...

Baby shower Here are some pictures from a recent baby shower I photographed this weekend. It was a lovely time, and the mother to be is just beautiful! I wish I looked this stunning when I was pregnant!! They are expecting their first child, a baby boy!

Ava close up!

Here is Ava posing pretty. She actually sat still so I could take her picture, and she even looked at me! It's about time. I'm sick of getting pictures of the back of her head, or of her running away!

Here are some adorable twin girls that modeled at one of the photography workshops I attended in October. They were so cute, and running all over the place. It was very challenging to photograph two 12 month olds at once, but it was an amazing experience.

Ava loves her flowers!

Ava loves flowers and plants! She wouldn't put these mums down. I had to pry them away from her, and she cried and cried. My mother said oh, just let her have them! Of course, grammy always lets her get her way!

Maternity shots K and J

Here are some maternity shots of some of friends. Baby L was born on October 27, the day before my daughter's birthday. We visited her yesterday! Oh she is just precious, so tiny and new. I can't wait to photograph her, all scrunched up. Probably next week!

7-Month old baby N

This is my friend's 7-month old son. He was a great baby to photograph, giving lots of eye contact and big smiles. I took pictures of him on two different occasions, and got two very different experiences. In the first shoot he wasn't crawling, and I got some nice shots that showed his sweet dispostion. Two weeks later he was zipping all over the place, where I got to capture his adventurous and curious side. I had such a great time!
