This is why I like Florida — family portraits by the pool in November!    I still haven’t pull out any long sleeves although Christmas is coming up so soon.

I can’t believe how fast the time goes…..November was super crazy busy. I got to shoot a couple of fun weddings and bunch of cute kids.

I started off with Faith and her mom….the mom wanted a couple of pregnancy images, and photos of her 3 year old daughter, Faith. The little girl was so much fun to photograph, we ended up with a variety of looks. My favorite one is the one of Faith on the wooden floor. Isn’t she just gorgeous with this beautiful red head and huge, I mean HUGE, blue eyes? And she is also very smart. She knows all the songs to her favorite movie “Annie” and can act it out pretty good too. Faith is a big sister now and I can’t wait to hold her precious little sister!

Here is my attempt at taking a family portrait of parents with 3 little boys.  The boys were really good, and photographing them was just a pleasure. They did play a little bit at the end and that’s when I snapped my favorite photo.

Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving.  We went to friends house (Ciocia) and had a great time eating there and playing cards. No cooking for me! That’s what I call perfect Thanksgiving Dinner.

Here is Gosia from Austria, who got married in the most beautiful city in the world — Krakow. (By the way Krakow has been announced the coolest place to visit  in 2007 by bunch of travel publications).  We met up there with Gosia by accident (wild story) and had about 10 minutes for a couple of shots while she was waiting for her ceremony to start. She was a great and beautiful bride.

Angela and Ken exchanged their vows at the Harbor Hills Country Club in Lady Lake. The weather was just perfect for this outdoor ceremony so the wedding party decided to go for a little fun at the golf course.

Owen and Alexa were great to photograph! We spent some time playing outside with hats and flowers and Owen turned out to be a true gentleman to his sister. He would hugged her and kissed her and she would giggle. They both were simply awesome kids and easy to work with. Here is a couple of pics.

I know haven’t update my blog for a long long time and i have so many great shoots and people to work with…..I’ve been gone to Europe for a couple of months and put a couple of photos from there too, but here is my last weekend’s wedding of Dawn and Bill in Bradenton FL.. The whole celebration was very spiritual and romantic ….They got married at sunrise in front of a 3 story tall cross overlooking a river and national memorial. After that we went to the beach for a fun shoot.. check this out!

Miller’s Lab 2007 summer photo competition is over. Out of 3,000 entries I took Honorable Mention (3rd place) in the Black and White Category. It’s exciting for me, because it is the first time I have ever entered a photo into a competition. Thanks to the beauty of Sophia–the little princess–the competition was easy!

Krystyna and Sophia celebrated their fourth birthdays in the beautiful Kelso neighborhood of Windermere. The party was truly suited for royalty, with dressing up, face painting and games. Even the mothers caught the bug and got their faces painted! It was a fun day for everyone.
