Happy Thanksgiving

Thursday, November 27, 2008 1:42 pm

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!

What a wonderful holiday! It is all about spending the day with friends and family in celebration of all we have to be grateful for. We have so many blessings to be thankful for today.

Thank you to all of our wonderful clients who let us surround ourselves with love and families and call it work. We love what we do and it is because of the great people we get to meet and work with.

Thanks to our families and friends who are supportive and caring and are there to share good times and bad.

Thank you for the memories of those who have passed, especially Nonna who is with us today.

Thanks to mom and dad (and mom and dad thanks us boys!) for having a home full of love and fun.

And especially thank you to God who showers us with blessings and gives us more to be grateful for every day. He has given us each other and as we grow our family we do so in His name. And this Thanksgiving we have one more family member to thank God for…our special announcement is:

WE ARE GOING TO HAVE ANOTHER BABY!

We will both be big brothers! Mom is almost 3 months pregnant with our new sibling. Her and dad have already seen (and heard) the miracle of the new baby’s heart beat. We’ve been waiting to tell about the baby and we are so excited to share this news! We couldn’t be more excited Now that everyone knows, we’ll be able to give lots of blog updates and share pictures and all of our baby news. It has been hard not to share our ultrasound pictures and such so far!

Happy Thanksgiving, and we hope all of you have a wonderful day with those you love celebrating everything you have to be happy about.

Samantha and Tom’s Irish Wedding

Wednesday, November 26, 2008 11:54 pm

Samantha and Tom were married last Saturday at St. Margaret Mary Catholic Church in Winter Park with their reception following at Shades of Green on the Walt Disney World Resort. The couple planned an Irish wedding, complete with a bagpiper for the ceremony, green plaid handkerchiefs for the groomsmen, lots of green flowers done by Debra at DSR Designs and Atmospheres, and festive green party hats for the guests at the reception. Catherine Leach of Event Fabulous in Orlando was the couple’s wedding coordinator and helped to put all the details together to create the Irish theme.

Dad met Samantha the morning of her wedding as she was having her hair and makeup done by Natalie at Knockout Artistry. Samantha looked beautiful! Mom loved her hair mostly down in soft curls, and her makeup looked so pretty. The reception was a fun celebration with help from Paul Vesco Bands and Orchestra and the cigar roller, Sagar Saha of Vega del Cigar.

Dad had seen the couple for their engagement session just a month before and they were so sweet together then so he knew their wedding would be wonderful. They were lost in each other the whole day. Congratulations Samantha and Tom! Have lots of fun in Ireland!

Samantha looking so pretty!

Bridesmaids having fun.

My Three Sons

Wednesday, November 26, 2008 3:11 pm

For those who didn’t watch Nick at Nite back when the shows really were classic television, My Three Sons was a show in the 60′s and was one of the longest running family sitcoms. James and Lara’s family really doesn’t have anything in common with the plot of the show, but they are the proud parents to three boys so the theme song to the show kept coming into mom’s head as she was looking through their pictures. Their boys are all under five, with the youngest just turning one. We would have so much fun playing with them!

Dad met up with their family last Friday afternoon at Fort DeSoto for a family session and a super fun smash the cake session to celebrate the youngest’s first birthday! Dad was also happy to see Stephanie, the family’s nanny. Dad will be photographing Stephanie and Louis’s wedding in May!

Dad had fun running around with the boys inside the fort and screaming to hear the echos they made. The boys were all so cute and it was a fun afternoon of exploring “secret passages” and obliterating a birthday cake.

Happy First Birthday!

Mom’s favorite:

Engagement Session with Heather and David

Wednesday, November 26, 2008 1:08 pm

Last Friday morning dad met Heather and David, a wonderful couple who will be getting married in March. Dad was bummed that he wasn’t available for their wedding but had a great time photographing their engagement session! He told mom that their personalities fit so well with his. They got dad’s sarcasm and gave it right back.

Heather and David, we know you are going to have such a fun wedding. Be sure to stay in touch and share some pictures! And thanks to Jackie from Table 6 Productions for recommending us!

Family Christmas Pictures

Tuesday, November 25, 2008 4:10 am

When dad first photographed Teresa and Craig and their two daughters (and many puppies!) their youngest was just two years old. It is always lots of fun to have years go by and see how much they grow in that time. This was dad’s third year with the family. The girls might be bigger with new hair cuts and new milestones, but their sweet smiles are always the same.

Dad met up with the family last Thursday for their annual Christmas pictures. The girls were a blast to hang out with as usual and it was a fun afternoon. Here are a few of the pictures:
