Jackson’s 9 month portraits– and family!

September 8, 2009 – 9:26 am

Its not often that kids this cute can get upstaged at their portrait session, but that is exactly what happened to Jackson and big brother Will!  As we were shooting, their dad started saying, “Look at the dolphins!” and pointing at the water.  Completely confused, I thought he was making it up to get the boys to look out at the water.  Nope!  There were two baby dolphins only about five feet out in the water!  So we had to take a little break and watch the dolphins play in the surf.  How cool!

The Smith Family

We finished our week at St. George Island with an awesome portrait session with the Smith Family.  They are so much fun, I had the best time playing, borrowing docks and just generally being silly.  :)

The Wheeler Family

July 27, 2009 – 11:54 am

I have been photographing the Wheeler Family for more than two years now, and I realized on Saturday that I have never once photographed Maura and Jason!  Only the kids!  So, it was really great to include them in the beach session, even though poor Jason just had surgery so he was hobbling around in the sand on crutches– poor guy!

The Reilly Family

July 27, 2009 – 11:50 am

I was so surprised when I looked at the beach portrait sessions- all but one of the sessions were for clients we have worked for before!  It was really great to meet the Reilly family and play on the beach– two year old boys can definitely be a challenge, but we got some adorable shots!

The Farout Family

July 23, 2009 – 10:27 am

The sun was definitely out on Tuesday for the Farout Family’s portrait session!  Thank goodness the heat still held off!  We had a great time hiking all over the beach, borrowing someone’s boardwalk and generally blocking all the foot traffic.  :)

The Garcia Family

July 23, 2009 – 10:16 am

Our first beach session of the week was Sunday evening and just an hour before the session the skies turned dark and it started to rain.  Olyn and I anxiously watched the skies until moments before the session when it miraculously cleared up!  We had the softest light and an empty beach to photograph one of my all time favorite families– it was a photographer’s heaven!
