Tropical Storm Debbie Won't Rain on Our Parade!

At 7 in the morning the winds of Debbie kept the Sunshine Skyway Bridge closed. Rain came and went, clouds looked a bit threatening. I had a session with Tucker scheduled in Dunedin and we decided to go ahead and try our luck.  SO GLAD we did! Not only did it not rain but the wind tickled Tucker and he giggled the whole time. We had so much fun and the best part, NOONE  was around. We had the streets pretty much to ourselves. Here is a quick sneak peak!

Sandestin bound...bayside but a beach photoshoot

I absolutely love my sister and brother.  Wish I could see my brother and his family more but he is in Texas, wish I could see my sister and her family more but they live in Kentucky. One great thing about living in Florida is people vacation here. My brother and his family will be in Orlando in November. My sister and her family were just here. I love this because I miss them and visits just fill in little gaps.My sister came with her husband's family (to which at this point I almost feel like family, Lorie's two boys call me Aunt Jessie and I love it~) to SanDestin. I was 15 miles south and stayed a day and a half to be with them and take pictures. WHAT A BEAUTIFUL FAMILY!!! OK I am biased but we only had an hour and this is only half of what was captured~  I hope they enjoy the rest of their vacation...without me :( First is a quick unchecked pic...I grabbed smiles first then worried about the specifics of my camera later.. for this shoot, I am OK with it~

Mike and Emily are engaged!

When I arrived to Sea Grove, news was awaiting. I thought the next big dinner (these guys are known for their vacation cookouts, I am talking 5 star spoil you rotten plan on gaining 10 lbs while you are there kinda of cookouts) but no.... there was even bigger news than what was on the menu the night I got to Sea Grove. Emily got engaged oceanside to Mike, the guy can cook a great meal so he was immediately accepted to the family, there are more important reasons to like the guy, but man can he cook a meal! They decided that very week that they would get married beachside in that same very town they were engaged in.  I was lucky enough to get a few shots on this windy, drizzly rainy morning. Bless Mike's heart, we had to wake him up, make him drive to the spot and then made him smile for the next hour. Emily obviously did a fabulous job, that should be without being said.  There are so many pictures I am excited to edit but here are the first few I got my hands on!!! Congrats guys~~~hope you like the sneak peak, more to come!!!!!

Seagrove

I went to Seagrove to meet up with some of my favorite people. I got there mid week but was welcomed immediately, any other group of people would just shoo me away...it was a beautiful town and I was amongst beautiful folks inside and out! I wanted to show more but my computer decided to stop working, I got a laptop, but am not equipped just yet for wifi. So these are a few I put on a cd to my old computer for your viewing pleasure...hoping it is a sneak peak enough!! :)
