Lennon Sage

Just a few weeks ago I photographed Ashley pregnant. And now, she holds this precious little girl, with whom I'm in love. She is adorable, I held her and felt that warm spot where her little body was against mine and this flood of memories just invaded my heart! There are times when I long for a baby, (briefly, then my senses come back to me, and I realize that I probably would repeat the experience every 2 years... not!). Ashley is one of those natural mothers, she handles Lennon with ease and knowledge. She was, they were, the best models. They are both beautiful, Ashley definitely has the glow.

Laura, Joe & Cannon

What a beautiful family and fun session this was!

Cannon was just a few days shy of his first birthday, and although he didn't feel much like giving me lots of smiles, he sure was sweet and patient with me. Laura and Joe have this amazing chocolate lab, Bailey (hope I have the spelling correct), that they have trained to do the most incredible tricks: for one she's very obedient and would parade behind me to entertain Cannon, and she knows how to retrieve a beer from the refrigerator and bring it to you, she can also dump things in the trash... I plan to get them to train our next puppy! Or at least give me some good tips, our sweet dog has perfected the art of sleep and rest, but not much more:)

Stealing his grand father's glasses!



I love how children hold on to the ears,

The neighbour's yard was just beautiful









Ah, the wonder dog,

Ariel & John

Just finished working on a few pictures from this beautiful wedding.  It took place on Ono Island, the day the weather channel expected a small hurricane to land on our coast, and it was an outdoor wedding!  Surprisingly it was OK, it rained only while the bride was getting ready, and during the reception, the sky was beautiful, maybe a little dark.

Dorene Nash, from Mobile was the hired photographer and I was second shooting for her. The bride was just stunning beautiful, and I love her name!  She goes by her middle name, which is my first name, only spelled a little differently, and her first name is my middle name, Francine.

Ariel's mother looked more like her sister, she's helping one of the bride's maid with her hair,

An other bride's maid, John's sister






Little gifts for the bride's maids,



Gorgeous, and so happy to marry John,





A lesson in ties,

The children loved it when Dorene let them go wild and jump on the bed,

Very exotic flowers,

OK, still cloudy, but beautiful sunset,

Very much in love, so cute together, just married!

The best band ever, Hip Boot Joe

The wedding party,





At the end of the reception Ariel, sang with the band and was having a blast dancing with the guests,

Walton

Walton is about to celebrate his first birthday, he is growing super fast!
I first took his pictures when he was 8 days old, and he managed to fit cupped in his mother's palms. Looking at him now, that seems impossible!
Well, he's a very cute little boy, with beautiful parents:
