Melissa- Senior Session

Melisa is a gorgeous girl inside and out. Her mother, Mercy used to teach next door to me, so I remember her when she was in kindergarten.  I have not seen her in years, but she is just as lovely as ever.  Now she is starting her senior year in high school. Melissa is very much into leaving a positive impact on the environment, so the park was a natural choice for the little tree-huger. I had so much fun capturing this session.

 Best wishes Melissa!

Zoe is ONE! (South Florida Beach Photographer)

It is hard to believe that a year has past since I first met Zoe and her family. 

She is now a little lady, walking and talking away.

I love photographing this happy and sweet girl! 

Hills Nursery (South Florida Flower Photographer)

For years, my brother-in-law Rob would bring us the most exquisite roses and sunflowers from a local nursery. After a few years, we realized we actually know the family that owns and runs it. When a friend of mine that is getting married today needed some white roses, I sent her to see Dawn and Charlie at the Hills Nursery. Dawn quickly came up with what my friend wanted. The Hills Nursery is just off of Stirling Road and I-95. They sell landscape material, field grown palms and have the most gorgeous and long lasting roses at 2 dozen for $20.

Devin- Class of 2012 (South Florida Senior Photographer)

Devin's mom used to be the music teacher at our school. Luckily for me, Jeanette and I have kept in contact through FB. I remember Devin when he was in grade school. Now he is off to college in the fall. I had a very cool and laid back session with Devin, his beautiful mother and brother, Taylor. They were truly delightful, fun to work with, and extremely talented musicians!

 

Cherise & Rick- (Deerfield Beach Engagement Photographer)

I met beautiful Cherise many years ago when she was 7 and I was 17. Her mother, Denise asked me to teach Sunday School with her at church.  They have been a major part of my life, and my "other" family ever since. I loved babysitting Cherise and her little sister Leslie. We would make pizza, cookies, milkshakes, and popcorn, watch movies, and color plenty of nights. Their mom is like my second mother. They have been with me through graduating high school, college, my wedding, and my babies. My daughter, Isabella still sleeps with the blanket Cherise gave her when she was born. Now Cherise and Leslie are all grown up and babysit my two girls. I am so proud of them both and so blessed to be able to be apart  of their lives and to witness the phenomenal women they have grown into.  

Now Cherise is 26 and such a smart, gorgeous, and talented woman. She met her soul-mate Rick, who is just as wonderful, early in college. They are the perfect pair and we are so very happy for them. I had so much fun photographing the delightful love birds. I am so looking forward to the day they marry and the future when they have children of their own for us to spoil...
