Our “Stay-cation” on Sanibel Island

….was INCREDIBLE! Two days alone with my husband was beyond amazing. Topping the trip off by being able to share the beauty of Sanibel with my children for two more days made the trip feel complete. They really enjoyed collecting an amazing amount of sea shells and finding the elusive sand dollars. No one wanted to come home but I promised them we’d come back and play again real soon. :)

Trevor, in typical teenager fashion managed to avoid the camera completely. Nick is obviously quite proud of his shell collection as marked by his willingness to ‘pose’ with his prize collection. His only disappointment came from having to return to sea the ones with little buddies living inside them.

Olivia was in love with the little clam shells and convinced she could hear the ocean listening to them too. ha ha So cute! She’s my little love monkey and has a tendency to not want to let go of my side but by the second day she was running wild along the gulf coast. :)

Move ‘em On, Head ‘em Out | Out of the Office ’till Aug 11

Portrait sessions on the beaches of Sanibel IslandAs summer comes to a close we’ve managed to pack in one last little get-away but this get-away is for Mommy and Daddy only.

Yep, that’s right, my gang (shown above)  is going to go spend a few days with Grandma and Grandpa and my sweet husband is whisking me away for an extended weekend on beautiful Sanibel Island. Aw, don’t be sad for them, they’ll have a fantastic time being spoiled rotten by my parents and then join us for a couple days of beach fun on Sunday. As for me, I’ll be back in the office totally refreshed and ready to go on Tuesday. Have a fantastic weekend everyone! :)

Back To Work

I am back and working hard at the office today playing catch up on phone calls and emails but I thought I’d take just a moment to share with you some of the beautiful sites I saw on my trip to Annapolis and D.C.

The Museum of Natural History (what an awesome place to use the fish eye lens eh?)

The White House

I have to tell you, it was so nice having my own personal tour guide and a completely awesome photographer on hand at all times for the trip. I’m thinking the ‘personal vacation photographer’ is a service worth looking into for future trips, seriously! I don’t often get such amazing vacation photos with me in them, thank you to my dear friend Connie for putting up with me for the last four days. *smooch* You are the best girl!

Leavin’ On A Jet Plane….

….but I will be back on Tuesday the 14th. *grin*

Time for a little girls weekend with my good friend Connie Groah in Annapolis. Keep tuned to the blog while I’m away, Kelly promises to post a featured session or two in my absence. Until then, here’s a little funny I stumbled on this morning:

Sneak Peek { Zoee } | Cape Coral Newborn Portraits

In just over a week I’ll be leaving, on a jet plane…but I will be back again! I’m just going to visit with my dear friend and fellow photographer Connie Groah in Annapolis for some much needed R&R. Of course one can’t really run away for some R&R without thoroughly wearing herself out before hand. So in keeping with that theory I’ve managed to schedule myself back to back sessions for the next ten days along with mountains of proofing that must be tackled before I can take off on my little adventure. Not to worry, Kelly will be available to answer questions and inquiries while I’m running around like a mad woman. I hear she’s got something totally cute in the works for this coming week’s Trendy Tuesday too!

Last week I traveled to the middle-of-no-where which, according to google maps is somewhere in North Cape Coral. *grin* The plan was visit with, and of course photograph, one very sweet two month old baby girl. Of course the instant I met little Zoee I knew it had been worth the drive, isn’t she precious?! I just had to pop in and sneak peek a few for Mom and Dad as soon as I could. :)

The Graduate | Olivia, Class of 2009

Preschool class of 2009 that is! Just a quick share from my world tonight then I’m going to head back in to spend time with my babies err, children. >>sigh<<

Yes, I guess it’s official, I no longer have babies. I’m good with that though, I have no doubt this next chapter of our lives will be even more exciting than the last! Look at these two…you’d never know that they bicker at each other from dusk ’til dawn. :roll:

Hi Brayden!

Just a quick post to show off a few super duper cute pictures of Brayden – compliments of his very sweet mommy, Christin (thanks Christin!).  She was great and emailed me a few snapshots taken of Brayden while celebrating Easter this year…yep, he’s definitely fascinated by that big Easter egg *cute*.  Is that a high five for Tigger, Brayden?  And how perfect is his Mickey Mouse shirt for Earth Day?!

Please keep the pics coming!  We enjoy seeing them and I’d love to make showing you off a part of my weekly participation on the blog.  Doesn’t have to be anything special – your little one year old brushing his/her teeth is fine with me!

Thanks again Christin for sharing your beautiful boy with us!
