The first year I met this family they just had one little, and now he’s about to be big brother for a second time!! πŸ’• (also what’s a photoshoot with 2 boys without a little ‘aren’t-I-so-funny?!’ nose picking? lol πŸ˜‚) I love fun photoshoots full of big laughs taken in impossibly beautiful settings just like the next gal.. but this simple portrait and quiet moment on the patio is one of my favorites from this evening. Right behind these great-grandmother and her da Day-in-the-life, but at your favorite beach. β™‘ TRAVEL! Hey! Last minute and all, but I have room for 1 more session in Nashville the week after next, if anyone wants me to photograph them in their neck of the woods. I’m thinking cozy porch hangs or going to your favorite park, maybe stoppin Mornings in Seaside with the WHOLE fam πŸΆπŸ’• The newest little hitting the beach for the first time! 🌊🌞 Sometimes I get paralyzed from posting because I just have too many favorites and want every single one to be ‘on the grid’ and this family was no exception! These boys are wild and hilarious and I love every minute I get to spend with th Seashells and sandy toes.. these are the best days. 🀍 How many grandkids ya got??? I’d love to meet every single one of them. 🩡 The older sisters πŸ’• Susan (& her Dog Dad) getting a spot on the grid for her first beach day. πŸ’• Winter update! DC has been buried in ice (‘snowcrete’) for 2 weeks, but we were able to get out of our driveway around day 3 or 4! They did not, however, plow our street for over a week, other than a single pass the morning after, so yes This is a happy post. Just so you’re convinced, the second photo is of our (newish, haha) puppy, Susan, who turns 1 year old today. 

But the first photo is of Boo Boo, my first dog. The best girl. I took her ‘birthday photo’ every Hi! I have a ‘year’ recap ruminating- but actually stretches back into 2024.. and I’m already so reluctant to make social media very ‘personal’ for me, so I’m still working it all out in my head, how to explain. Bu Yummy yummy film.. there’s just nothing like it. And I think in 2026 we play more, amiright? (Oh, and for my fellow photographers… of course I had to put all the horizontals together, because I still can’t bring myself to mix them After a few summers of a rare (for me) all-grownups crowd, this year little miss Poppy got to be the center of attention! And I think she loved me as much as I loved her! Y’all I just can’t say enough, how much it means to me, getting to Florida fall! See look, we have big crunchy leaves too. ;)
Lots of travel this fall for sessions, my social media game is suffering, haha. Here are a few from when all that green stuff washed up, making the water look like the deepest greenblue I’ve ever seen. More from this memorable session later- th The way the wind swept her curls… β™‘
