My sister-in-law dresses my nieces in some of the cutest outfits! She loves the Twist of Lime   company  on Etsy and now so do I!! We did a really quick shoot after my grandmothers birthday party. I could have photographed them in these outfits for hours, but the sun was setting and the bugs were bitting. Gosh I LOVE these girls! I might be biased but aren’t they the most adorable little girls ever!?!?! =)

If you ever wonder what to have your kids wear to a photo-shoot…. something like this is perfect!

After shooting a beautiful wedding on Saturday in Virginia, I had to hurry home to make it for my Grandmother’s 90th Birthday Party. I had booked my ticket months ago to make sure I had the first flight out. Of course that flight was canceled and then my ten o’ clock flight was delayed. So, I did a quick change in a Starbucks bathroom and went straight to my Grandmother’s Party (just a little late.) I had soooooo much fun! My brother Neal came in with his family as well as a TON of my extended family. My mom is one of seven kids so our family is BIG! My grandmother still loves to dance so we had LOTS of dancing at the party!! My niece Riley and I danced the afternoon away! img_4799b

Here is a photo of my grandmother with a bunch of her great grandkids and a couple of the younger grandkids. I love the shot, because it’s just pure chaos! We are still missing probably about 10 more in this photo =)

My Birthday was back in April and my good friend Lisa gave me an awesome gift that we just used on Monday. We went Kayak Fishing out of Big Pine. It has been raining a ton over the last couple weeks, but the weather on Monday was PERFECT!!! It was glass calm and blue skies. We learned how to stand up in the Kayaks and use our paddles to pole across the flats. We saw all kinds of sharks, sting rays, bonefish and even a tarpon the circled under us a few times. It was breathtaking! We ended up kayaking over to Bahia Honda after our morning of fishing. I have to say, kayaking through those deep, dark blue waters under the bridge was a little scary. I’ve seen some photos of some pretty big sharks that were caught in that exact area. Nothing like getting the heart pumping on a Monday morning!

I just returned from being in the Dominican Republic for a week. It was a great trip, despite all the rain! I headed down to Santo Domingo last Sunday for two reasons. 

First, to do some photography for my good friend Ina. She runs a mission organization in a little village outside of the city. CLICK HERE to check out her site. She has some great projects going on. I’ll post more details and photos later.

I was also able to shoot a family portrait session for my good friends Mandie and Jason. We had to fight with the rain and a two year old who was not feeling great, but we were still able to get some great shots! The colors and textures of the Colonial Zone were a beautiful background for this amazing family! I feel so blessed to have such great friends in my life!!!!
