Calynn is getting big!

 

Calynn is right on target, which means a very challenging, but fun time with her. Next month we can get her sitting up pictures and some more laughs. This time we had a very serious shoot,but really showed off some true beauty. I had a blast with her and Candace. We tried everything to get her to smile, but she wasn't in the mood at all. Thank you Candace for helping me once again. 

Love, Miss. Michele

Richard and Jennifer's Wedding day

 

Such a beautiful day!!!Hotter than a firecracker, so hot that we couldn't have a perfect wedding without the Florida T-Storms to be a part of it. The sunset pictures were done another day. These lovely afternoon storms could have wrecked everything but with a little patience and a couple rescheduled appointments we were finally able to get some really amazing shots of the lovely couple. I am so happy for these two.. One day I will be able to say that this family and I go way back. More pictures to come, but since photography is my second "job", it takes me a little bit of time to get them all edited and to my liking.

 

Sending Lots of blessings to the two of you.

Love,

Michele

Jake's senior pictures

Its been a while since I blogged. These are just a few of a graduate this year. Jake was so nice to work with and I got to take my hubby with me to work. That was even nicer. My new help is wonderful.  I could post some pictures of my little girl, but thought I'd post some of this guy. Just mention his sweet hearts name and he's all smiles.  I'm sorry I missed meeting her.

Congratulations Jake! I hope you have a very full life in front of you and all your hopes and dreams come true.

 

Sincerely,

Michele 

Corrie and Scott's wedding at The Florida Aquarium

 

Here's just a little bit of what I've been working on for almost a month now! Weddings are so much fun! My first wedding without my little assistant Candace Rose, but never fear "Camera Kim" was near! Kimberly Norman you are amazing! Thank you so much for helping me! It was so much fun shooting a wedding with a friend!

 

So let me just say that as a photographer I was thrilled beyond belief when they told me that the wedding was going to be at the Florida Aquarium. How awesome is that! Then the freak out happened OH MY GOSH! THE Florida Aquarium. I cannot screw this up!!! Hopefully everyone reading is not judging me for being so human. I am a professional but let's get real! These better look awesome! Right?

Well, I think we did great together Camera Kim! Oh yeah and to the bride and Groom, whom this is really about, not really about myself.  Congratulations, you were a wonderful couple to photograph! I am so thankful that out of all the photographers out there in the world you chose me to photograph this precious time in your lives! I hope you have a very long and happy life together filled with many joyous occasions.

Love, Michele 

Shelby's Senior Pictures

What is mom doing over there?

 Creating this!!!

Well, we weren't sure what the day was going to hold for us. Sunday turned out to be gorgeous here in Treasure Island and St. Pete. I was so glad!!!We had a lot to accomplish in this one afternoon and I still have a lot more editing, but these truly are my favorites out of the day.

I love Shelby and her family, they are so dear to me! I was so happy that during the shooting of the Aquarium Wedding that they wanted to do some of my style pictures for her senior year. The seniors have to create a board to display at graduation and I am so happy to help with this.

Shelby, you are growing into a beautiful woman.....I remember having people say things like that to me when I was in high school. Ha, I would just think, wow, was I an ugly little girl? What does that really mean? Then I had someone, who I really looked up to, say, "Wow, Michele, you are so full of grace. Just so graceful!"  I think that is what they were meaning. So Shelby, you keep growing and becoming a woman full of grace! It is so precious! It is becoming a lost art among woman to be beautiful and graceful.

Love, Mrs. Michele
