If only we could bottle it up...

Yesterday was an exciting day for me.  I did something I've never attempted...I had TWO sittings in ONE day.  My first session was with a family with a new addition...Baby "F" is so cute and cuddly I just want to wrap him up and snuggle.  You can see that MOM and DAD are as proud as can be.  Below are some of the images I was able to capture...

The best part...

Last week I had the pleasure of capturing this family on {digital} film.  Our first appointment was foiled by the time change...with the sun going down quicker, my "ideal" lighting was gone much earlier than planned.  We came out to the same spot a couple days later and here are a few of the images I was able to capture.  This family is SO full of love and you can see it in their faces...{oh and the kiddos...tons of energy...wish I could have bottled it!}

Smiles ALL around...

Oh my my...this little guy was such a joy to photograph!  When we got to the park, he was ALL smiles and he made my job so easy.  Here are just a few of the photo's I captured with "Mr. Cooper"

Baby Noah

Here are a few favorites from a newborn photo shoot.  

This little man really didn't want to sleep, but we managed to wear him out just enough to get a few sleeping shots.

Welcome to the world little Noah!! 

R&R

Time for some R&R...our family took a trip to Key West and to Nassau Bahamas.  It was so nice to go and see and do different things.  Below are a few of my favorite shots of our excursions...

YDP News

Happy Saturday...things have been so busy the last couple of weeks, I haven't had a chance to get on here and update you with my exciting news!  YDP is launching two new projects.  The first is a great opportunity to be out and about in our community.  I will be offering a Real Estate photo package.   For $50.00 you will receive 7-10 photos and a Hi-Res CD for your use.  I am pretty excited about this opportunity and in the next week or so will get that going.

In addition I will also be launching a Boudoir package.  Starting at $200.00 each session will include your sitting fee, private online proofing, a Hi-Res CD of your edited proofs, a mini book of 7-10 of your favorite photos, and an 8x10 of the photo of your choice.  I had my first session last week and I am looking forward to more in the near future.  I love to be creative and can't wait to do more.  My calendar is filling up fast so contact me soon to set up your appointment!

Signing off for now...have a great weekend!

A New look

Ok, so its 4:00 in the morning and I have been messing around with this blog trying to give it a facelift.  So, here it is!  I'm still working on a few things so if you see something out of place be gentle!!  I hope you enjoy the changes I've made!!  Signing off for now...goodnight!

The Wilsons

Here are a few shots of my last photo shoot. This was a fun shoot at the beach. We have had so much rain in Jacksonville, that we had to reschedule the original date, but in the end, it was worth the wait. I'm so excited about these pictures!! Thanks Wilsons for a fun shoot!

Gettin' Bizzzzy...

So, since its been some time since I've "really" blogged, I am catching up and now I'm going into BLOG overdrive!  I am very excited about the things that are happening in my business.  I cannot tell you how much I appreciate all the wonderful people who have trusted me to take their photos.  It is because of YOU that I am able to keep doing what I love.  I want to give a special shout out to all the clients who have referred their friends...YOU know who YOU are!!  I will forever be honored that you thought enough of my work to share it with friends and family.  


Alot of this business is word of mouth, but I have been thinking alot on how I can bolster my business and fill my calendar even MORE...am I nuts or what!  Well, with summer here, I feel like I can breathe a little and focus on more adventures in this fun business.  SO, I am taking a leap of faith and I'm going to try something NEW.  I won't tell you now exactly what it is yet, but keep your eyes out for more updates from me!


Lastly, I want to pass along a special I announced on Facebook.  I am offering 20% off your sitting fee if you book a date in July.  I gave one week for the special, so that is on until June 18th.  Get in now while you can save a little!  


Enjoying the Process...

Going Green...

Here are a few pictures from a shoot earlier this week. This dear family is one of the sweetest families we have met while back in Jacksonville. I just LOVE the colors in these photo's. Green is good!!

Change...

So its been a while since I've blogged and for good reason...I have been SO busy, I'm barely keeping up! I'm loving it, but its taking me some time to get caught up. So, here are a few "sneaks" of one of my latest shoots. I had the privilage of taking pictures for a wonderful family celebrating a year of accomplishments. Being a Navy wife, I know how proud this family is of their Hero. Congratulations to the Naylors on a year of success...Fair Winds and Following Seas!

Happy Birthday-Photo Party

Last weekend, YPD had its first "Photo Party". Here is the birthday girl. There were so many girly girls there {with the exception of ONE handsome boy!} and they all LOVED having their pictures taken. What a fun group of kids!

Fix it Friday

I heart Faces has a challenge called Fix It Fridays...the challenge is to take a photo that they post and make your own edits to it.  I've never done one so I thought I'd try...this is how it turned out.  The first photo is the "before" and the second, the "after".
