Growing Family

Monday, October 27, 2008 12:56 am

LaToya and her husband and son just welcomed a new baby boy into their growing family. Dad was able to go to their home to meet the baby and get take some newborn pictures. LaToya is a wonderful mother! After her first son was born in the car on the way to the hospital, she decided to have a home birth for her second baby. What an awesome experience! Mom and dad admire many of LaToya’s parenting choices. And dad wants LaToya to teach him more about cloth diapering!

Both her kids are very handsome little boys and dad had a great time with them at the session last week. Here are a few pictures of the latest arrival to this wonderful family.

Tiny baby parts are so cute!

Lauren and Ryan’s Engagement Session

Saturday, October 25, 2008 2:10 am

Last Monday dad was at the University of Tampa with Lauren and Ryan for their engagement session. Ryan was only in town for a very short time and the couple had their Pre-Cana class scheduled so dad was happy that they were able to work out a time and have the session.

Mom looked at their pictures and noticed two things. First, Lauren and Ryan are a good looking couple and Lauren going to be a gorgeous bride. Second, they love each other so much! Throughout the session they were enjoying spending time together, laughing, smiling, and of course kissing.

Mom’s favorite:

Lauren is a 3rd generation Tampa native who will be moving to Michigan after the wedding so the Tampa sign is a perfect backdrop for the an engagement picture:

Lauren and Ryan’s reception will be at Mirror Lake Lyceum next June. We can’t wait!

Fall in Florida

Friday, October 24, 2008 4:20 pm

Every year to try to make it feel more like fall despite the heat, our family heads down to the Pumpkin Festival on a farm. The past couple years, grandma, grandpa, and Aunt Kellie have joined us too. It is always so much fun! Funnel cake, pony rides, live music, a corn maze, games, a petting zoo…with so much to do, the time there goes by fast!

The giant slide:

Pony rides (mom always feels super bad for the ponies and almost doesn’t let me ride):

Aunt Kellie on the giant jumping thing:

Grammy, before you freak out, it said ages TWO to a hundred, so I was even older than the age limit!

WHHEEEEEEE!

SPOOKY face painting!

Now we know there are more pictures of one of us than the other, but you can only take so many pictures of a kid picking up straw, or wood chips, or dirt, and putting it in a wagon which is what amused the younger of us most of the day.

And because there aren’t many Pumpkin Festival pictures of the younger of the two of us, here is a cute face from another day:

Samantha and Tom at the Pumpkin Festival

Finally dad got to photograph a session with a fall theme! While our family was at the Pumpkin Festival last Sunday, dad met up with Samantha and Tom for their engagement session there. Dad took them in the corn field and to the barn and all around the farm for pictures. He had a great time shooting there!

Samantha and Tom’s wedding is only one month away! See you two again very soon!

Kalyn and Daniel

Kalyn and Daniel were married at the Sirata last Saturday. Dad was excited to see them again after having lots of fun at their engagement session. When Dad arrived everyone was very upbeat and excited and dad knew it would be a great day. Darla Stafford did an amazing job on hair and make up (as usual) and it was great seeing Chad with Digital Wave Productions who was the couple’s videographer.

Kalyn’s beautiful smile:

Dad loved the detailing in Kalyn’s dress. The ceremony was on the deck and though there was a bit of a concern about rain, it luckily held off. Grace from A Wedding with Grace was the officiant and dad enjoyed working with her again!

After the ceremony the guests gathered on the beach for a big group shot. While Daniel held dad’s camera for him, he took a couple self-portraits. Daniel’s picture is actually one of mom’s favorites from the day!

Crazy family shots are always fun!

The reception music was by Dan from Sword Sounds. Believe it or not, this isn’t the first wedding dad has photographed where a hula hoop has made an appearance!
