Super Dad – the Younger…

As you can see by these pics, I have a real live Super Dad for a step-son!  But he IS the “younger” version of my husband.  Somewhere along the way, long before I met my husband, he started saying,  “They don’t call me Super Dad for nothing!”   Yes, my husband does actually have a resemblance to Superman.   So, since my step-son is named Miles (the younger) and not junior and my husband is Miles (the original?), we now must call Miles, the younger, Super Dad – the Younger!  Anyway, we took these several weeks ago in order to give some to my husband for Father’s Day as a surprise.  We chose the more classic ones in white for my husband to match the gallery of  family images that he now has, but I made sure that we got the Super Dad images of Miles and his daughter, Alexa as a special keepsake for them.  Hope everyone had a very special Father’s Day.  And an especially wonderful wish for everyone that is celebrating a First Father’s Day this time around!

Starting a new life – with tattoo…

Scott has just graduated and is going on to college to major in physical therapy and personal training.  We photographed his brother Ryan about three years ago and it was a pleasure to see Scott today.  His mother reminded me we have been photographing the brothers since Scott was in elementary school!  What changes.  He recently chose to have a tattoo and even though mom was a not a huge fan of this choice, we did some images that highlighted the tattoo.  This tattoo says something about not only the physical strength of this young man, but his commitment to his inner and spiritual strength as well.  Sneak preview for you guys!  Enjoy!  See you next week.

A life well lived

Margie and Gene are soon to celebrate their 48th Anniversary.  They have lived a full and rich life and were a delightful couple to work with.  Margie is an accomplished and diligent genealogist and says she now works “day and  night” on finding her relatives and Gene’s.  Gene is a retired machinist and you can see how much he adores Margie.  What a lovely couple.  This is the image that they chose to share with family and friends this year.  Contratulations to you both!

New Display in Largo

Just finished putting two new images in the very lovely offices of Melanie Neumann, Tampabay Massage Therapy & Wellness Center, Inc.   I met Melanie at the Birthing and Baby expo several months back and cannot say enough about the wonderful surroundings she has created to invite her guests/clients into

Lots of love flowing here…

W and B came in with little L when he was only 5 days old.  I love getting to create portraits of the newest little people when they are this young.  Can you see that this baby is not going to be put down very often?  Everyone is just glowing, including (or should I say, especially) Grandma!
