The Embry's and Hillsborough River

Kindness. That is what I think of when it comes to this family. It starts with the couple then trickles down to the siblings all holding their place and so sweet, and GOOD! We had to dodge an art fest that was starting up while we were in midst of pictures, BUT BOY did we still have such a beautiful view....I didn't realize how great this spot was! I might just use it again, here are a few from that day!

A Couple and their Adorable Dog!

On a beautiful Sunday afternoon I met up with Melissa and John for a photosession with their adorable (and not to mention chill!) dog! They were a great group to work with for the first time, and I actually kept thinking, 'I know I met them somewhere before' and I still wonder if I had or maybe they are just that personable...very sweet folks! Here are a few that I grabbed from that day, Enjoy the rest of your weekend!!!

A gorgeous family in Ybor!

 I just love this family! They have such a great love for each other and not to mention they are super sweet to me! Every year I just can't wait to see them, their style is just great....We started out at Columbia and just walked around the block..here are few that I really like omitting one that I believe might be their Christmas card ;)

Sweet new family at University of Florida!

The family is a sweet one, with a one year old with all ambitions to point out birds and cars....he is a boy's boy. Cute as can be! I enjoyed my time with this family, and this lil man after 5 minutes of being held , was ready to laugh, run, explore and be independent! He is so so sweet and I JUST LOVE HIS SMILES and energy....wish as all older folks, I could bottle it up! Here are a few from that day,my favorite family withheld for possible holiday pictures~

New Baby Alert!

I had the great pleasure of meeting Mr. McKaber! I met Allison in college, ahem, a couple years back...or maybe a few more than a couple. Allison got married to Luke, who seems to be just great, and just recently they started a lil family. Less than a week old, I got to meet this guy! Bless his heart, he wanted to be up and looking about and all we wanted to do was pose him. So with the help of David Grey in the background, him well fed and recently changed, we got him into a light sleep (to which Allison said later he was comatose for the rest of the evening!) I think it's because I have a voice that carries...I try to do sign language to let the parents know what to do but that doesn't work, only because it's more waving arms and pointing.  He did great though! I found him to be adorable and the fedora he wasn't too excited about ;) yeah, we planted it on his head during one of his mini-naps. So excited to put this lil sneak peak up...I got excited so three of the pictures are already up on facebook!
