Barrett Family Mini

How cute is this family of 3.  As usual I always love to meet new families.  The Barrett family is another wonderful Hensel Phelps family.  I always feel like when I come across a HP family I feel like we could be come instant friends because they know exactly what life is like especially one who is on the same project as my husband.

For the Barrett’s mini session we went up to Lake Baldwin Park which was the perfect setting for this family session.  Logan was just the cutest and he worked for M&M’s ssshhh don’t tell Logan but I sometimes work for M&Ms too!  We had fun seeing the airplanes flying over head and check to see if there were any alligators in the water.  We had so much fun getting some great shots of this family and I hope to get to work with them again in the future.

Dillman Holiday Mini

So I have been a little behind on blogging with the Holiday’s.  The Holiday’s kind of swept in really quick and with sessions and family time we got super busy, but now that the holiday’s and travel are done for a bit it is time to catch up on the blog.

We will start out with the Dillman family.  Jacqueline Dillman and her son Ryan along with her Dad met up at to do some fall pictures.  Ryan is a spit fire which isn’t a bad thing.  He was on the go and loving playing in the dirt and the leaves just like any little boy wants to do.  We were able to get some good pictures.  He especially liked when we would have him run.  Jacqueline is pregnant with her rainbow baby so we thought it would be fun to also get some fun pictures with her and Ryan.  Over all I say with a 2-year-old it was a success!

BFY Colton 9 Months

Wow little boy you need to slow down it is hard to believe that you are 9 months almost 10 months already.  You are getting way to big way to fast I love getting to watch you grow up.  The fact that we are closer is making it even better.  Colton is another little one that I have gotten to take pictures of since he was a newborn.  Both of us have grown so much in the last 9 months and still have a lot of growing yet to do.  It is hard to believe the next time I photograph him, he will be a year which is crazy to me.  He is one of the most handsome boys I know but I might be a little biases since he is my nephew.

We decided to try some pictures in side with a rocker that is my parents and I believe came from one of my grandparents houses I believe my moms parents.  Anyways my parents have a beautiful fireplace so it worked perfect for the setting.  We then headed out because it was a beautiful warm November day.  The leave have started to change colors and fall so it was the perfect fall setting and Colton loved just crawling every where.  I am sad your first year is almost over but we have all enjoyed every minute of it so far!

Lui Family Mini Holiday

Had so much with the Lui family at a lake near their home.  There were lots of trees and open space and a beautiful lake to use as a backdrops for their holiday mini session.  I always have so much fun with the Lui family especially their little boy Kaiden because you never know what you are going to get.  He is such a fun-loving little and his little sister Talia knows that she has him wrapped around her little finger.  She loves to watch whatever it is that he is doing which sometimes made it had to get a good shot of her facing the camera.

The Lui’s are a Hensel Phelps family, I like to consider them family.  When you move around as much as we do sometimes it is hard to make friends outside of the HP circle.  It doesn’t mean it can’t happen I have managed to make some wonderful friends everywhere we have moved but these guys really know what we are going through and sometimes like us we have lived in the same city multiple times so whenever we have to say bye to an HP family it is never bye it is always see you later because you never know when your paths are going to cross again and the Lui family is one that I am glad our paths crossed again and I hope that they continue to keep crossing.  Thank you Lui family for entertaining me for a half hour and for being such wonderful friends!

Talia Baby’s First Year 4 months

Oh goodness Miss Talia is 4 months old it is just hard to believe.  I was photographing this girl before she was born.  She will be my first and only baby so far that I will get to photograph from maternity to 1 year that is as long as her family stays in Central Florida I know I am doing my best to keep them here because they have a special place in my heart.  This family has been around the world and back and I love that we are in the same area once again.

Miss Talia was the perfect little girl for pictures.  I love when I can get a good smile out of her though she usually only gives me those when I don’t have the camera around go figure right.  We got to do the caterpillar again this shoot and we will somehow use it in her next 2 sessions also as this little guy has special meaning.  He traveled all the way from Israel where her family lived for the last couple of years.  I can’t wait to continue to watch her grow and get snuggle time in where I can get them!!

Erbrick Family Mini Session

How fun was this family.  They are part of the Hensel Phelps family which is the company my husband works for.   When you work for Hensel Phelps you tend to move around a lot so it is always nice to connect with another HP family because they know what it is like to get up and move your family a lot.  Once you meet an HP family you know that you will always know them because even if you move away there is always a chance that you will meet up again on a different project in a different city and maybe even a different State.  The Erbricks have lived in Florida for a while now so it was nice to chat and find out things about the weather and life in general here.

The Erbrick’s are such a sweet family and the girls are a blast so ready to be in front of the camera and loved to act goofy!  We decided to take advantage of something that there is plenty of in Florida and that is beaches.  Luckily we didn’t have to drive all the way out to the ocean we were able to meet at the Lake Front in St. Cloud and it worked great as a perfect back drop for this family.  I hope they loved their session as much as I did and I can’t wait to getting to know this family better in the future!  Thank you Erbrick family for having fun with me!

Santoni Mini Session

So to start off the Holiday mini sessions is the Santoni Family.  I love getting to meet new families especially being new to the area myself.  This family was the sweetest and the girl were great.  Alexis and Gianna are super close in age and though they say they aren’t best friends yet I bet they will become best friends the older they get.

We took their session to Lake Runnymede Conservation area.  I love this place it is small has a couple of walking trails and a lot of trees.  The only things else I could have asked for were the leaves to change color but I know if Florida that is a lot to ask.  It was at least feeling a little fall like outside.  The family was great going with some of my different ideas for them.  I hope that they have a very wonderful holiday season.
