[The Seifert Family Adventure]

This is the Seifert Family.Well let me tell you what, these guys were troopers! First off, we just about got rained out from the beginning and didn't think we were going to be able to even do the session, but the skies opened and it cleared up just in time. But if you've ever been to the beach in the middle of the summer right after it rains, two words will come to your mind, HOT & STICKY. But Regan, and her husband Daniel, were ready to brave what may come with the weather and their two little girls, Emma who is 3, and Nora who is just 1. Needless to say the kids were not happy with the beach for too long, but we managed to get a few shots before we called it quits and moved to a less sandy location.

Doesn't Nora's face just say it all!?! haha!

Sisters<3

Cutting up and getting everyone's attention at the Beach =)

and it was at about this point that we were done with the beach....

We decided to move to a park where the grass was a little greener<3

and it proved to be an AWESOME idea!

Daddy playing with Nora

Emma and those big blue eyes! I love the wild eyes in children. I always wonder what they are thinking, or imagining, or dreaming. Their eyes say so much.

Mommy & Emma time<3

Mommy & Nora Time<3

even though Mommy and Daddy have their eyes closed in this one, I still can't help but love it because of Emma's face =)

Daniel and Regan having Husband and Wife time<3

the kiddos were so not into this picture taking stuff anymore...

but I managed to talk them into a few more =)

did a little more dramatic edit on this image than I normally do, but it works for me. there is something I really love about it. The "realness" of it.

((HUGS))

and one happy family once the day was done =)

Daniel, Regan, Emma, and Nora, even with the hot humid weather, sticky sand at the beach, and bugs up our noses at the park, I had a fabulous time meeting and working with you on this shoot. I would love to work with you again some day in the future! Take Care!

Daddy's Little Girl [Father/Daughter Photography]

This was the first time I've done a session with just a Father and Daughter and I have to say it warmed my heart. It's refreshing to see a Dad taking the time to do special things like this with his little girl. This is Dave, and his daughter Taylar. Taylar was very shy at first. She didn't leave her Daddy's side, but by the end of the shoot she warmed up to me and the camera a little and it made for some really beautiful photos of her with the sunset.

Love this next one. It's just something about their footprints in the sand.

I just LOVE her beautiful blue eyes in this one.

Taylar LOVED that bird =)

and this last one is probably my favorite of Taylar. She had finally came out of her shell and showed me that pretty smile. Along with those baby blues, it turned out to be a beautiful shot. and of course I added my little artistic touch ;)

Thank you Dave and Taylar for a nice evening on the beach. Dave you are an awesome Father and it shines through in these photos of you and your little girl. I would love to work with you both again in the future!
