Aimee and Tom are a CRAZY, FUN couple and I just LOVED this session.  Aside from the fact that I now have about 10 names for each of them, I managed to remember their real names long enough to direct them down to the beach.  From there it was any name goes and we just kept making up new ones.  You can see how much they love each other and it really shines through in all of their images.  I am so excited to photograph their wedding next month!  I hope I keep their names straight long enough to get through the ceremony.  Enjoy!

Bring on the boys!  I just love to photograph “guys”!  These three were so sweet together and the lighting at the beach was beautiful and soft.  The middle little guy LOVE super heros, so if his hands appear blurry in any photos it is because he was showing Anna and I how to shoot spiderwebs out of your wrists and how to stop bad guys!  His older brother was an awesome helper and the baby was really attached to him.   I thought the baby did a great job walking down the beach considering he hasn’t been walking for long at all!  Enjoy!

Do you remember all of the super duper cute kids that we photographed at the Rascals to Rebels Back to School Model Search?  Well this beauty brought her little sister to the winning shoot and we had a GREAT time.  Their Mom is so sweet and brought a bundle of hair accessories (which we always adore) and the “to die for” sundresses that she just “whipped up” on the sewing machine the day before.  Some people are just filled with create talent.   We had a little trouble getting baby sister to let go of mama, but who cares, those type of images make the best portraits.  AND, of course, I was thrilled, to once again pull out my pettiskirts from Kaiya Eve and sit back, with my camera, of course, and watch these two dance.  A BIG GIANT THANK YOU to their mama, who sent us a boxful of her beautiful hair accessories to use on shoots.  PLEASE go to her website and order lots of these beautiful goodies at Irelyn Rae Designs!  Enjoy!

These beautiful kids are all cousins!  We started off in the morning in San Juan and the lighting was perfect.  The kids were great as well, although it was tough to get a smile out of the 2 year old!  I LOVE his cute little pouty face though, so I think it worked out great!

Shhhhhh…. this shoot is a surprise for their Grandma!  I am sure she is going to be thrilled!   Enjoy!


Can you believe that I have been photographing the Hahn family for almost 9 years!  In fact, their oldest daughter had one of the first birthday parties at Blue Sky’s Salon and Studio.  Now these kids are almost all grown up.  Their parents should be really proud as they are such sweet kids!  I had such a great time hanging out with them and meeting their cute puppy.  I think their Dad needs to come over and give my dog a few pointers as he is an excellent trainer.  Anyway, I hope you enjoy the images!  I just LOVE this time of year.
