Family Fun!

The times we spend together as a family are precious and few.

Now days it seems like we get so busy and things like game night

and movie night are put to the wayside. We constantly have to

remind ourselves to slow down and enjoy each other's company.

Family Portraits are way to preserve those memories and milestones

along the way. Here is one of my favorite!

Summer Fun!

We weren't going to put up our pool this season....but.....This last week has been EXTREMELY hot in Southwest Florida. The outdoors is brutal without water or shade...since our yard has very little shade, we broke out the big blue pool. Our son's eyes lit up like it was Christmas in July! By 8pm tonight we'll be chillin'.

Since Oakland has been a little baby he has loved the water. It didn't matter if it was a dog dish, toilet, the ocean or a puddle. He has always been the first to jump in...sometimes forgetting his bathing suit. I love his spirit and his smile. We hope that you have found a way to stay cool and have some fun this summer!

A Father's Love

One of my favorite parts about photographing

a wedding is seeing how families interact. I am

always brought to tears when I catch a glimpse

of a Father's Love. So many men are taught

not to show emotion. One of the times that

Father's let it show is when they give their

daughter's away at their wedding. Even at my

wedding my 6ft 2" husky father had tears in

his beautiful blue eyes as he walked me down

the aisle. I will always treasure that moment.

July Wedding!

July 7, 2007 was jammed packed
with newlyweds wanting to tie
the knot on the "luckiest" day in
next one hundred years! We were
priviledged to share our day with
Oscar and Iliana. They had a
traditional ceremony followed
by a lively reception. The couple
was surrounded by friends and
family with many blessings to
share as they began their new
life together. Oscar and Iliana will now share an anniversary date that will go down in history! More pictures of their wedding will be posted soon to

We hope you had a very blessed 7/7/07.

Almost Married!

Early in the week we met up with Carol and Keith to take

a few Engagement Photos to be displayed at their end of

July Wedding. We went to one of our favorite spots at the Cape Coral Yacht Club. The Poinciana tree was almost finished blooming, but we were still able to take some fantastic shots.

The grassy area next to the water has a few picnic tables. I hardly ever see anyone using them. They are perfect for taking in the sunset or checking out the sights. There is lots of room

for frisbee or tossing a ball. Fire ants are always a challenge,

so I don't know about putting a blanket down for a traditional

picnic. Gotta love Florida!
