Dillan's Debut Modeling Shoot

I first met Dillan when I photographed him at his preschool, Kids At The Point, the place where EFP was born. Kids At The Point is located in Hudson, Florida, my old stomping grounds. Dillan's mom drove all the way from Hudson to have more pics done for Dillan's first modeling portfolio. He is quite a character and LOVES the camera and as you can see, the camera LOVES him, even when he's pouting! He is a joyful little boy with his gorgeous brown eyes! Mom will be entering some of these pics in casting calls and modeling calls. If you are a modeling agency and would like more information on Dillan, please contact me. Thanks Dawn for your dedication. May this be the beginning of a wonderful journey for you and Dillan.

Baby Hayden Makes Four!

Now this was a real treat! Not only was this the first official photo shoot at the new pad but this was the second Bellies & Babies Session I've done for Theresa. She first came to me when she was pregnant with her son, Jonathan. Now, he's the big brother and I had the pleasure of photographing the newest addition to the family. Here are a few pics from that session. I posted some from Theresa's maternity session in a previous post. Thank you so much Theresa and Bob for trusting me with the newborn session of your little Hayden. I am thrilled you guys were my first ever session here in the new studio ...

Chelsea & Jason Welcome Their Baby Boy...

I recently went to the home of Chelsea and Jason to do "part one" of their newborn session since the new studio wasn't quite ready yet for shooting. It was wonderful to see them again and to meet their new baby, Beck. Beck is a lucky little bean; he not only has a wonderful mother and father but a super sweet doting big sister too! I don't think this little guy will ever go wanting with so many loved ones ready to help. Since I never did post any images from their maternity session, I figured I might as well post those here as well. I'll post a few from the studio session as soon as we do those but for now, here's a sneak peek at Beck for you to enjoy ...

Photo Ben Is A Daddy!!!!

Most of you have met the fabulous photographer and my very good friend, Ben. But did you know that he was soon to be a daddy?? Well, after what feels like the longest pregnancy ever, his wife, Lolise, finally had their baby. Sweet little Alexandra Dianne was born June 1 at Bayfront Hospital. I took these photographs shortly after they arrived home from the hospital. This little baby girl is just a ball of cuteness. She has a head full of dark wavy hair and was awake and alert almost the whole time I was there. I just wanted to gobble her up! Congratulations Ben, Lolise and Junior! Enjoy every moment; you will blink and she will be toddling around. Another blink, she will be starting kindergarten and so on.

A Few More From Stacey and Allen's Wedding

These are a few from the Ceremony and the Formals that I just love. Stacey and Allen were a lovely couple to photograph. Best wishes to both of you for a lifetime of love and happiness!! I'm so excited because a perk that comes with the package they selected is a lifetime of free studio sessions. I look forward to photographing them as they start a family and journey through all of life's milestones. To see a few of my favorite getting ready shots, look to previous post.

This shot was taken right after they kissed. I love the way he's looking at her ... so romantic.

This shot was taken from a parking garage adjacent to a courtyard. It was too bright for them to look up at the camera so we did this instead. I love it!

It was pointed out to us that the groomsmen had mounted some antlers on the front of the limousine. This was, of course, an inside joke between the groomsmen so Ben grabbed this shot.

A few of my favorite pre-ceremony shots from Stacey and Allen's wedding

You may remember the lovely Stacey and Allen ... I posted pics from their Fort Desoto Engagement Session a few months ago. Their big day came and what an event it was! Stacey was an absolutely stunning bride. Her gown was gorgeous, selected from the collection of designer gowns available at Malindy Elene Couture Gowns in Saint Petersburg. (Check them out at http://www.malindyelene.com/home.aspx) These are a few of my favorite pics that I took before the ceremony. I'll post a few of their formals later in the week.
