Libby and Jake

These pictures speak from my heart, well all of my work is from my heart, but I love shooting in spaces with great texture and lots of natural earthy things. The studio pics don't do justice when you have outdoor pictures like these.
I love shooting in such wonderful country spaces like this one. Cross Creek Ranch is just around the corner from me and everyone there is so nice and hospitable. Libby and Jake were such good and wonderful kids to shoot with. They are Friends from Andrea. They came all the way from Illinois and I was sooo excited to do these pictures for them. One hour was just not enough at this beautiful little place. I can't wait to do more shoots there.
Thanks Marlene for allowing me to shoot your kids this morning, it was a fabulous experience. I hope you enjoy this little clip of what you will see soon. I am hoping you will make this a yearly experience as you come down and enjoy our Florida, humidity, showers and oh yah a little bit of Sun shine!
Love ya'll! Michele

The Fisk children!

Or as my Rachel calls them the Jungle Teacher's kids! I am so excited to give you these sneak peaks but my faves out of all the pictures we took today! These kiddos are full of life and always sooo happy! Well the only one I've ever seen upset is Emme but that was when she didn't want to nap for me.
Miss Mikaira, you are ready for auditions I believe babe! Your headshots were great!This is just the one I love the best! You really are such a good big sister to your siblings.
Zander your just a spunky little boy! Loved the time we spent goofing off! You are so cute! I love that you are so happy to restle with big sis!
And Miss Emme! You are my sweety! Looking forward to having you another year in the Noah's ark Class! We are going to have so much fun together! Emme kept trying to dance like big sis! Then pretend to be shy! She is so adorable with those blond curls, so opposite of her sister and brother!
This is just one of the shoots I did today! So excited about my little summer blowout sale!
I have decided to extend the promo for another week because of the response. I am overwhelmed and so happy to be shooting! So if I didn't get you in this week give me a call. I am booking up!
Love, Michele
Please place a comment! I get so many through email and facebook but would love some comments on the comment page please!!!

Emily and Cullen

Oh My Goodness! What a trip I had this morning with these fun and energetic kids. Andrea you are going to loooove these!
I don't think Andrea was ready for a photoshoot like this one. Between me having to chase the dog around the block and then not finding him, but to have the neighbor knock on the door and say he is playing in traffic, it kind of sent me into a tizzy!! Fortunately, Andrea is a dog lover too and understood. I think it just set the mood clearly for all of us that today was going to be unpredictable and fun!
Andrea and I work together in the 2's Class and have talked all year about taking the kids pictures. I guess it was just the right time and I was soooo excited to do them for her. Her kids were so much fun, we didn't stop laughing once.
Told you I'd have them posted by the afternoon.
Love,
Michele

Em turns 10

Happy Birthday my Sweet Pea! The past ten years have been so full, with your energy, wit and happiness for life.
Sisterly love!Big sis was in Minnesota and called just at the right time. Do you see the tears, they really do love each other.
Well, another year is gone for my sweet girl. She is so pretty and changing so much, spiritually, and physically. I wonder what the next ten years will hold for her. She decided that she wanted to celebrate her birthday at the local Mexican restaurant. My husband and I were so grateful, easy and cheap! We invited family and some friends and had a great time singing to her and celebrating.

My Girls

Ok Well I thought I would take a stab at trying to get some "studio"pics of my girls since I was set up for little Mia's pictures. Unfortunately for my husband, he recieved pictures for fathers day. This really was not a surprise for him since that is what he usually gets. I remember the first time I did this though. It was three girls but I was the big one in the middle. Now 13 and she looks so much like her mother. Taking studio pics of my kids is not always the funnest. We really enjoyed this time though, especially since they were doing this for the almighty Daddy. Three Daddy's girls!UGH! These girls make me sigh! Love, Mommy
