Baby Abigail


On Saturday I had the privilege of meeting and photographing sweet little Abigail and her Mom and Dad. What a beauty she is and oh so friendly. It took no time at all for her to put on her smile. And have you ever seen such beautiful eyes?




A couple in the tutu that her mommy made for her.



Sweet smiles for her Daddy.

Don't you love her little foot?






Love her little mouth in this one.



2 of my favorites.




With her favorite little toy.

Thank you Gen and Jeff for the opportunity to photograph your little family. It was a joy to meet you and your sweet little girl.

Dandy Lions

Dandelions-weeds to most people, and even to me when I'm not in "photographer" mode! Today though, I saw this beautiful field of dandelions and I knew I had to take Kate there for some photos. She always so sweetly and willingly obliges me when I have these ideas! Thanks Katie!

"Okay honey. Take off your shoes and just run around for a while." Quietly I pray there are no bees around! And off she goes, pirouetting in the sunshine! I love my little girlie girl!

So here are some of the pics from today with some different processing experiments.














All I can say is that I am sure glad this is not my lawn! Because as pretty as they actually are, they would have to die!

Florida part 3

In which I show you the strange birds and other creatures in Florida......



Blue Heron


Green Heron(Not sure why it is called that as it seems more purple and blue to me)


Don't know-hey what can I say, I am not an ornithologist.


Anhinga mama


Anhinga babe



Mr Aligator. (Okay so I don't really know if it is a Mr.)

I think the scientific name for these is: "Ducks"

Turns out there are some normal birds there too-a blue jay for instance

Mr. Aligator again, though he seems to be going undercover now. Glad I'm not one of those ducks!


The blue heron again


A Snowy Egret


See Mr. Principal, we really did do some educational things on this "Educational Family trip" I had to apply for! ;-)
