The last holiday session of ‘09! Palm Beach County Family Photographer

December 17, 2009

This gorgeous family of five had me over for my last holiday session of the year! We enjoyed the most amazing sunset and their beautiful Christmas tree was truly icing on the cake at their lovely home.

W family, thank you for having me over to do your family’s photos! I can’t wait to do little M’s session in the new year playing with his daddy’s baseball gear! Who knows…maybe there will be another baseball player in the family one day!

Palm Beach Maternity Photos – South Florida Maternity Photographer

December 14, 2009

I really enjoyed meeting this lovely couple and doing their maternity portraits at the beach, graced by a beautifully colored sky. The weather was perfect and this couple’s connection was vivid. And check out the beautiful mama-to-be! She was simply stunning and had the most perfect bump. No photoshop magic here! Unlike me (who gained 42 ibs during my pregnancy with my son), she is all belly, lucky girl! I knew from the moment I met them that this couple would be fun to photograph. They difinitely made it hard for me to pick only a few images for the sneak peek!

H & L, I am so excited for you as you await the arrival of your first baby! I can’t wait to find out if you are having a boy or a girl (such a great surprise) and am looking forward to meeting him or her when it is time for newborn photos! Thank you for choosing me to be your photographer! I hope your little one stays cooking as long as he or she needs to and wish you an easy delivery and speedy recovery.

Newborn Twins – Palm Beach County Newborn Photographer

December 9, 2009

These beautiful babies are two weeks old and just the sweetest things I have ever seen! Miss Olivia was 3 lbs 12 oz at birth and her brother Logan was just over 5 lbs. I love her long lashes and his cute little expressions! They were both the most peaceful little sleepers at our shoot, which shockingly lasted only an hour because they cooperated so well! I really enjoyed cuddling (and photographing) these two perfect, tiny babies! April and Matt, congratulations on these amazing little angels you have brought into this world! I know you are in for the ride of your life and am so thankful to be able to capture these special first moments and all their newborn yummy-ness! I have only edited a few so far, but hope you love them!

Family Portraits – South Florida Child & Family Photographer

December 7, 2009

Kristi Mangan is a photographer friend of mine and we have enjoyed taking eachother’s holiday portraits this year. I just love her choice in dresses for her girls and am always blown away by how sparkling and blue the whole family’s eyes are! Speaking of being blown away, (heheheh) we battled some serious wind on the beach during our session, but it was fun nontheless. Kristi, I hope you enjoy these photos! I have enjoyed doing your portraits this year and love the ones you did for us (obviously, since I had one blown up to a 48×60 canvas!).

Storyboards – South Florida Child Photographer

December 6, 2009

I have had several inquiries lately where clients wanted to know more about storyboards. Well how about showing you some pictures, since one picture is worth a thousand words!

As you can see, storyboards come gallery mounted onto a hard wooden backing and laquered over for protection. The border can be white as shown here (well visible in the second image) or can be black. The design of the storyboard can be fully customized based on your needs and your images.

Excuse the poor product photography (I am not a product photographer at all), but hopefully this gives you a better idea.
