It’s always a blast when you get to chat and hang out with fellow photographers. Back in September the Jax Shoot Club had another meet up and this time our focus was “portraits”. Apparently word travels fast and there were a whopping 80+ photographers at our shoot out that night, compared to 30 the month before. It was craziness! But fun craziness.

A huge thanks to Faythe Mesic for the awesome make-up and Sonia Garza for all the models’ hairstyles!

Thank you to all the models as well! They did a fabulous job!

Models: Sally, Lauren, Arielle, Brekke and her dog Macey (in order posted)

memories…

You know all those things that happen daily that are just part of life, but don’t seem like anything special? I got reminded recently that EVERY moment is special in it’s own way and even though they seem ordinary at the time, you will cherish them in a few years when everything has changed.

It all started when I decided to transfer our home videos to the computer to save them in digital format. While I was so happy that I have some video of the kids when they were younger, it also made me sad. Sad that time passes way too quickly and sad that I didn’t video more every day life moments. We always think we have to record the big moments…Christmas plays, graduation, etc. But out of all the recordings, I cherished the normal every day moments the most….the way they talked, their mannerisms, what they liked/didn’t like, how they danced/sang, what they looked like. I get teary eyed just thinking back to all the moments lost to time. So, instead of dwelling on what a I should have done, I came to the conclusion that I can’t turn back time and record more of their childhood, but I CAN start recording more at the ages they are now!

Here are two gems from when my babies were 5 yrs old & 2.5 yrs old…

Hayden talking with mommy

Caitlin & Hayden dancing in the living room to Hilary Duff…a song Caitlin knows by heart now and was one of her favorites when she was in voice lessons!

What could be better than a session with pink cowboy boots & tutu’s?! Yesterday I had the pleasure of photographing two adorable sisters. Miss E is full of spunk and loooooves the outdoors while Miss C was the pensive one with the doll baby eyes. Here’s a little teaser for mom. It was so great meeting you all. I can’t wait for you to see the rest!

I think I’ll just glaze over the fact that I haven’t updated since September! Yikes! I have lots to catch you up on so for starters, we’ll pretend Halloween wasn’t 2 weeks ago and I’ll share some personal photos of my two monkeys at the pumpkin patch.
