{Too Cute}

03.04.10 Posted in Children 4 comments

As you know, I LOVE my best friend Danielle’s two boys. Both of them are in such adorable stages of life. Austin lost both his front teeth and it is just adorable. Ayden is just so cubbilicious right now and the cuddliest happiest baby. All of these pictures make me smile.

First up, the toothless wonder!

Plantation Florida Children Photographer

I LOVE this one.

I think this is pretty typical Austin

Seriously Danielle… you are going to have to keep this handsome boy locked up!

Since I was over with them I had to snap a few shots of Ayden in his baseball outfit.

These make me happy.

Check back tomorrow for my WPPI schedule!

Mindy - Those pictures of Austin are some of my favorites you have ever taken! THey are amazing and he is so cute and grown up. And of course Ayden and his little smile are priceless.

Danielle Leggett - I LOVE these pictures!!! You really captured my boys’ personalities and cuteness! I will treasure these pictures always. As Austin would say, you are “amazingly terrific!”

Brett - I wonder if I every looked that cute in my baseball uniform?

Amanda Webb - Oh my goodness! What cutie pies! I can’t believe Austin already has big boy teeth coming in. And I just adore Ayden’s beautiful smile. He is my light at the end of the infant tunnel right now. Can’t wait for you to get back from your trip.

Seriously, I should have posted this a long time ago but everything got crazy. I am SO PROUD of my little sister for not only graduating College, but also earning her license as a Registered Nurse. I was the nurse at camp for three days and I was terrified the entire time {yes, I know I was totally unqualified for the position}. Mindy is not only beautiful, but she is also totally brilliant. She is going to be the BEST nurse ever!!! I am a very proud big sister. I love you Min.

Here is her awesome {if I do say so myself} Graduation announcement

The back – see we both love making silly faces

And also I wanted to post one of my FAVORITE pictures ever.

I am usually so good at taking self portraits… luckily this time I was off just a bit {so Jeremy, my brother, could sneak in}

It makes me LOVE it that much more!

Do you have any advice for Mindy on starting a new life after college????

Post it as a comment below, or you can just tell her Congrats!

D.Ross - You know that song from the 90’s that said “what a man, what a man, what a man, what a mighty strong man” yeah. So I think of this song (but the girl version) when I think of Mindy. Girlfriend is smart and HOT! Mindy. Go far. Hit every corner of the earth and have a blast doing it!!! Love, Bestie.

Kauni - Congratulations!!!! You’re gonna be awesome! Well, you already are, and so is your sis, but that’s so exciting!!

Kaitlin - Um move back to st. pete so we can be super awesome together!! That’s my advice for her, and you and brett:)!

Lydia - Diane… You crack me up! Thanks Kauni. Kaitlin… hehe… that makes me happy. I wish!

Danielle Leggett - Congrats, Mindy! Your graduation pictures are BEAUTIFUL!!! The world of nursing is lucky to have you!

The other day I got together with 3 of my photographer friends to do a little shooting. We were planning on shooting at a park, but when we saw an abandoned house, we changed our mind. Luckily the sign said the Sheriffs would ask us to leave, so we figured with those consequences we would be okay.

To give you an idea of our surroundings.

It didn’t look like much, but it made for some awesome images.

Here is the talented Kyle Burnell, who I met last year at WPPI and who was visiting from Portland, Maine.

The gorgeous Mirelis, who is a photographer in Fort Lauderdale.

I LOVE this one sooo much.

And last but not least, Giselle, who is a talented makeup artist and second shooter for her sister.

I am loving the black and white.

I wish I could look as beautiful as Giselle when I am laughing!

Stunning!

And last but not least, the winner of my contest with Craig and Nicholle’s pictures. Ironically enough is…. Kyle Burnell.

Here is the Fruit Machine shot to prove it.

Congrats Kyle. Stay tuned to my blog for more contests and of course tons of pictures!

I can’t even begin to describe how excited I am for Greg and Amanda. Alyssa is perfect in EVERY way. And honestly, I can’t get enough of looking at her adorable full head of hair.

I took this the morning after she was born. It makes me want to cry, mother/daughter love.

Her little sleeping smile.

Seriously, how cute is all her hair?

Another one of my favorites. I love the simplicity of it.

This just makes me smile.

What a little peanut.

I love her profile and her cutie nose!

Hello sweet baby girl.

I just had to post this one again, because it is one of my new favorites.
