{ S family }

I love when families coordinate their wardrobe...I love matchy-matchy :) And these two kiddos are the most adorable little girls EVER. We had fun at the Oceanfront and I even left with a sea shell as a "thank you" gift from sweet K. Here are a few of my favorite images from the session I had with the S family. There are so many good ones....these are 4 that popped out at me while sorting through :)

{ don't let the sun go down }

I had the joy of meeting this beautiful family at the beach again today. Our first shoot was cut short due to the quickly setting sun. We rescheduled and today it was MAGIC. Here's your sneak peak.....

{ thomas family }

Today I had the pleasure of meeting the Thomas family at the beach for their photo session...but BOY did the sun go down quick!!! Here's your preview...

{ Andrew Senior 2010 }

Today I had the pleasure of taking Andrew's senior pictures. We had a long day, but it was worth it. Here's your sneak peak....

{ my kiddos }

I took the kids to the beach today because a mother can never have too many pictures of her babies....they think it's torture!

{ howard kids }

Kristen and family met me at Ft. Story today for a mini-session with her kids on the beach. Aiden, Sydney and Wyatt are so well-behaved and these kids were so happy their Daddy is home from deployment. It's obvious that he was truly missed by his family.

And how cute is little Wyatt?!?

{ business with pleasure }

While I was in Ft. Walton Beach, I decided to treat myself to a relaxing day at the beach. Here are some of the pictures from my day.

{ parkton family }

I had a beach session with the Parkton family today in Ft. Walton Beach, FL. I have to admit, I truly miss the beaches of the panhandle. The sugary white, sand and the clear, emerald-colored water.....PARADISE!!! We lived in Pensacola for 3 years and enjoyed every minute of it. We would move back there in a heartbeat if the opportunity arrises.

{ logan turns 1 }

What a cutie!! Logan had his first birthday today. He is the sweetest baby in the world, but I may be a little biased....I could just squeeze those little cheeks!

{ beautiful jaci }

Jaci and I had a BLAST today. She was very willing to try different things and didn't hestitate when I asked her to get her hair wet...just jumped right in! It makes my job much easier when I have a cooperative subject and a BEAUTIFUL one at that. Jaci is a senior and the daughter of some of our friends from Pensacola...she's also my babysitter. (when her schedule allows it)

{ good weather = great photos }

I actually had THE most amazing day today. I woke up early for once, had my morning cup of coffee and got Mara off to school. I went on a long, peaceful walk. It was so wonderful to get away from the craziness for a moment and just take in the awesome weather.
After the twins woke up, we went to the mall and did a little shopping. I took them to Build A Bear and they LOVED it. They have been dragging those bears around everywhere all day. We came home from the mall and waited for Mara to come home from school...and headed for the beach. After all the high was like 86 today....talk about inconsistent!!!
Anyway, Olivia is always up for a lil bit of modeling so I took advantage of the warm weather and snapped a few shots of her at the beach. Mara and Payton didn't hesitate to tell me "I don't want to take pictures." This is everyone in my family's favorite thing to say, with the exception of Olivia....she's always willing to strike a pose. Here are a few of the pictures from the beach...

Ok, I could add 15 more that I JUST ADORE!!! I can't help it...it's always hard for me to pick favorites. I like them ALLLLLLL.
So after the beach, I came home and cooked dinner then had to rush to Whitney's school for a mandatory meeting for Spring Sports. She's trying out for Track again. She made it last year, but this year (at middle school) there's more competition. I'm optimistic, she's a fast runner...it's in her genes!
After the meeting I went to the gym and totally worked my booty off and then sat in the steam room for about 10 minutes. Nothing feels better!!! Well, gotta hit the hay. Hope tomorrow is half as great as today was!
