1/2 birthday shoot

"Take a sprinkling of fairy dust, An angel's single feather, Also a dash of love and care, Then mix them both together. Add a sentiment or two, A thoughtful wish or line, A touch of stardust, a sunshine ray... Its a recipe, for a Baby Girl truly fine."----unknown

This little girl just had her 6 month birthday and I was honored enough to capture some photos of her for her family. She is so photogenic and was pretty much happy/content for the entire photoshoot. How I wish all photoshoots could go as easily as this one did.

Family gathering

If you look close, you will notice that I have photographed half of this group just recently.  I was honored when I got a phone call and asked to photograph them and their family for a small family gathering.  I could not have been any happier then to photograph this family.  I have known this family since my days in Florida, it brings back such memories to be back with them....I am just happy to have been able to capture these moments for them

Old photo as a simple holiday reminder

If you can't feed a hundred people, then just feed one.”
Mother Teresa quotes

I was going through some older photos that I took last year and I came across this one and what a perfect time.  It just reminded me of what this season and every season is about.  Giving and loving.  Giving goes beyond family and friends.  I hope that we all are able to give a little more of ourselves, and understand the true meaning of charity and compassion.  Wishing you all a wonderful holiday!
