Big Blue Eyes and Beautiful Lips

If these beauties look familiar, they were at our friend's March of Dimes fundraising event at Gymboree back in April. We had the opportunity to take pics of them again- "J" recently turned 2 and little "B" 10 months. Despite the fact that is was like 150 degrees out and "J" and "B" got dirty THE MINUTE we got on the boardwalk for our first pics- we still managed to have fun and survive the heat! Sorry, "T" & "J" that you spent the time cleaning, ironing and getting them all pretty for their pics. Regardless- they still looked great. We hope you are both happy with the pics!

Family

We had the priviledge of working with the nicest family this past weekend. Every single one of them was friendly and wow... what a good-looking group! Thanks for the opportunity. We had a great time!

Old Friends

A good friend of mine was in town last week visiting from Texas. "V" and I have been friends for many years- way before kids. She moved to Texas and I don't get to see her often so I was ecstatic when she said she was going to be here and asked me to take pics of her beautiful kids. Thanks, "V"! I hope you like them!

8-8-08: E+D

"E+D" got married on the 'luckiest day' at Tampa Palms Golf & Country Club.
It's a lucky day and supposed to bring wealth, prosperity and good fortune- what a wonderful way to start their lives together!

Thank you E&D for allowing us to share in your special day...
Happy Marriage!

50 years of marriage

Our friend "M's" parents were celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary, so "M,K,L&S" threw them a little surprise party. You should have seen the decorations, the set-up and the cake that "M" personalized! Everything looked absolutely amazing. We hope you all had a great time.

Happy 50th Anniversary!

Five under Two

Yes- we are crazy. :) Try getting pics of five kids all under the age of two... NOT easy!
Overall "L, L, D&A and D" did very well. It could have been worse!

First trick: ballooons on the boardwalk
The balloons were flying away, or keeping their attention a little too much, or strings were in front of their faces; the water on either side of the boardwalk was WAY more interesting than us- so many other things to look at!

Next trick: Lollipops

Lollipops seemed to do the trick- for a little while at least. Still hard to get 5 little ones all looking at the camera! This worked for a few minutes until little "D"wanted a lolli, too and took "A's"!

Mmm- nothing better than a big rainbow lolli!
We ended up at the playground and just took some candids as they played...

then they were happy! :)

Thanks, "D" for asking us again to take pics. It was nice meeting your sister and brother-in-law. Hope they didn't mind how dirty 'Dirt' got! :) The others will be coming shortly.

6 month old QT

Do you remember cute little "D" from this post?
http://brinkerfreedphotography.blogspot.com/2008/03/do-they-get-any-cuter.html

Well, she's 3 months older and even cuter!
"D" was so good again for her pics. We managed to get a few smirks and grins out of her, but didn't see the big cheesy grin mom and dad talked about. We were also trying to capture her 2 new teeth, but could only see them when she was crying- she DID NOT like the grass when we tried to sit/stand her in it for a few shots!

"L&P"- Thank you again for asking us back to take "D's" pics... we can't get over how stinkin cute she is!
Sorry again that one of us ran into your sliding glass door (we won't mention here which one of us it was!). :)
Just glad it didn't break! Make sure it's not so clean next time! :)

Three of a Kind

Taking pics of "M,N&M" was so easy. Didn't have to chase them around or make silly noises and jump up and down to get/keep their attention! Like all siblings, they have their moments when they are fighting, arguing and not getting along, but you would never know that looking at these pics. They either really love each other or they are really good at acting like it just for the pics. We'll bet on the first! :)

The New Mr. & Mrs.

YAY! We are so excited to have completed our first official wedding by ourselves... we couldn't help but show our work!!!

It was so much fun. It really meant a lot to Kristine to be a part of "M&B's" wedding since she and "M" are friends from high school. Thanks again, "M&B" for trusting in us!

Congrats to the newlyweds! We wish you a lifetime of love and happiness!
