Baby Ollie Melts My Heart

Here's is another cutie patutie I had the absolute pleasure of photographing last week. This is Olivia, but mommy and the grand-mommas (who all came to help out during the photo session) call her "Ollie". Miss Ollie is a happy, joyful baby and is a photographer's dream to photograph. She has a twinkle in her eye and she just wants to be happy. Absolutely precious!! Check out our Facebook page for her entire collection!

Meet Jamie!

Everyone meet James! He's a little bundle of inquisitive sweetness! And, he was on the go loving the fact that he can crawl ... and FAST!! This was a team effort but we got some great shots in the end. Thank you Lizzy Perez from the Saint Petersburg Chamber of Commerce for sharing your little dumpling with me. :-)

Miss Sadie...

Here's a few faves from a session with little Miss Sadie. What an absolute doll!! She is a petite little thing but her personality is HUGE.

Holy Smokes, Been Neglecting My Blog

Well, I can't believe it's been 2 months since my last posting here. My poor wittle Blogspot. But, here's why ... I have opened a "Fan" page on Facebook for EFP and I'm updating it literally 2-3 times per day.

If you want to keep up with what's happening at EFP, PLEASE click the Facebook link you see on the page and become a fan.

I am offering monthly specials and giving Facebook fans first dibs on limited-space events. If it fills up quickly, which so far they have, I am not even posting it here on the Blog.

The reason is that it is WAY easier to upload pictures to Facebook and to add little blurbs throughout the day than it is here on Blogspot.

But, with all that said, it is my goal to end the neglect to my Blog. :-)

So, stay tuned.

A Few From Jasmyne's Senior Session

I recently did a senior session with a lovely young lady named Jasmyne out at Fort Desoto. It is always so awesome to go there. What a photographic playground!! Jasmyne was absolutely a joy to photograph. She is a sweet, beautiful girl. Her and her mother, Latoy, were great to work with. Thanks Latoy for trusting me to do Jasmyne's senior pictures. And thanks to Theresa for telling Latoy about me. I appreciate it so very much. There are nearly 100 images from this session but I am posting my favorite four. And in case you were wondering, it was very hard to narrow it down to my favorite four but I have many projects I am working on so I have to keep moving on. Enjoy.

It's All About Lila

This is definitely one of my most favorite baby/family sessions ever! Baby Lila came in for her 6 month session last week. She is a little bundle of joyful cuteness! Her daddy is Gabrielle, owner of Noisemakers, a local business modeled after Jack Black's School of Rock. My son takes drum lessons from him. (Check out their website at www.noisemakers.com) Gabe and Jennifer also have a little boy, Quinlan, and the four of them compose one of the easiest families to photograph. What a sweet, lovely family!! I hope you enjoy these images as much as I do. Would you believe there are nearly 200 images from this session??
