I do love those curves!!!

Sweet baby “O” came in today with her parents and grandma and big sister, too.  We created images similar to her sister’s that we did 2 years ago, when she was this age.  The black and white’s of baby “O” and her dad were created to hang together in their family portrait gallery.  The heavy grain on the black and white’s is intentional.  I feel like it makes it more of an art piece.  Let me know what you think in comments.  Enjoy your sneak peek, Mom, Dad and Grandma!  See you next week for all the rest.  (And, yes, grandma, we got the one you wanted!)

From pregnancy to newborn…

Liliana came to me earlier this year for pregnancy portraits as a surprise for her husband and then came back with her husband and their darling little baby boy for their first family portraits!  Take a peek…

Sweet as a button…

This child could easily be a model baby!  She came in this morning to have portraits created and was such a treasure… we changed outfits 5 times!  This is a sneak peek for mom Magda and grandma, too.  Very talented Grandma made the adorable bonnet to go with the incredible christening gown.  Can’t wait for you to see the rest next week!

Father’s Day surprises…

Both of these Dad’s got surprise images for Father’s Day…dad with his 3 grown sons and new dad with his new little one.  The image of Gary with his 3 grown sons is just great because you can see the pride in his face and the joy of being there with his children.  Mary Jo is going to decorate her family room with canvases of all the different poses of the entire family group as well as individual separates.  What a keepsake that will be for the family throughout the years.  The one with her new little grand-daughter and her son is so precious because of the “smile” that you can see on daddy’s face.  No, you can’t see his face, but you CAN see the delight in the smile crinkles around his eyes.  I just love this one!

Norb and De celebrate their 50th

Norb and De were in Tampa to celebrate their 50th Anniversary with their children and their families.  All 16 of them gathered at the atrium in the Intercontinental Hotel in Tampa before their dinner at Shula”s.  The light was perfect and the waterfall as a background gave a lovely addition to their family portraits.  Look closely at De, she is wearing a gold heart necklace that Norb gave her on her 17th birthday!  What a lucky lady!  I have had a lot of anniversays lately; so glad to be part of such happy times.  Let’s see if I can remember all their names:

Norb, De, Tom, Lynn, Tom (he was in the senior portrait post from several weeks ago, see if you can find him), Kristen, Katherine, Timmy, Sawyer, Laurie, Richard, Cassidy, Cindy, Jaybird, Vito, Roma, ….hmmmm who am I missing?

I loved all the family images, but I think my favorite is Norb with all his grandaughters cuddled into him.
