Beautiful Krista...

I've been captivated by this little sweetheart Krista for some time now.  She lives up in Okeechobee and I see her each weekend when we go to be with my husband.  She got the most gorgeous green eyes and red hair... she's just an absolute dream.  She was on the playground the on Sunday and I had been taking some snaps of my kids and I managed grab this one of her.  I'm just completely in love with her little face and could stare at this image for hours.  Had to share it.  I can't wait to surprise her mom with a nice big copy of this picture!!!!  

My Friend Lydia...

My Friend Lydia...

So... this is one of my best gal-pals, Lydia.  I'm convinced God sent her as a little angel in my life about a year or so ago when I really needed a friend.  She's expecting a little "mystery" baby this month... in fact, I had a missed call from her phone today and I actually wondered if perhaps she'd gone into labor?!!  :)  No such luck.  I am really in love with some of these images... the sunrise shots... I love the warmth of the light at that time of the morning... and the pool shots are so fabulous and different.  Lydia hacked up a second-hand prom dress and adapted it for the belly... and glammed-up with jewels and got soggy... how great is that?  Now THAT'S different... (for me, anyway!!).  I think one of my most favorite images though is the one where she's walking with her son, Micah.  He just wanted to run around free without his clothes... Lydia managed to get him to keep his shirt and undies on... and I think that images is precious of him in his little "tighty-whities!"  To know Micah "P" is to love him... his little face is just, well... let's just say I'd adopt him tomorrow!!  He happens to be my son Trystan's best friend too... so, no doubt it is and has been wonderful to have them in our world.  

Thanks Lydia for being so open and non-traditional... gives a girl some inspiration!!!  I'm waiting on pins and needles to see if the color is pink or blue?!!  

Kuala...

Kuala...

Kuala & Pat are expecting their first baby in November.  This session was a lot of fun because Kuala was very open and uninhibited.  It was inspiring to work with a mommy that is open to trying anything and has a "go with the flow" attitude!  Not only is she gorgeous, but she was just as sweet and quirky as could be!  We managed to get hubby in for a handful of shots too... you did great Pat!!  :)  Kuala is planning for a Hypno-birth and I wish her all the warmth and relaxation to have the birth she's envisioned.  Her fabulous midwife, Rachel, was my practitioner with my son... so she's in great hands.  I can't wait to hear the good news guys, and I really can't wait to come back for your newborn session!!
