This is one amazing couple, love them… I’ve known Justin for over 10 years, he and Kate are wonderful. Between his humor and Kate’s “reset face” they kept me and each other laughing. 

Kate and Justin just celebrated their 5th Anniversary and they needed some beach pictures. Kate and I had scheduled and rescheduled and hoped for no rain and we finally got our wish. Instead of rain though we had the heat. The hottest day of the year so far and there we were on St. George Street in St. Augustine. It is so funny to see the way tourists react to what looks like paparazzi, snapping pictures of a cute couple. Too much fun…

Hope you like this sneak peak!

Time to say goodnight.

So we’ve been having our share of challenges at the Whitaker house,  both with our housing situation and with the business. We had renters who took off, crazy schedules, an unexpected move and all the other day to day things that make life interesting. 

We are now Starke residents again,  the move is almost complete, just the office to finish moving.  Then the dreaded task of unpacking,  anyone want to help?  I do need someone to remind me, if and when we move again to hire movers. :) 

Now for the business… Things are great, I’ve been working with a couple of amazing photographers recently and of course taking lots of pictures on my own. All reasons why I haven’t been posting very often.  As for changes, be on the lookout because there are about to be some. One of which is going to be a website facelift and a couple other surprises that I’m just not ready to divulge yet.  I’m just about ready to begin another blog contest, you’ll never guess the theme.  Hopefully I’ll be caught up enough to announce it tonight. 

Now I need to go unpack,  and hopefully find my shoebox.  A girl cannot survive with only two pair of flip flops.. HUGS!

I met this wonderful family several months ago and was so excited to get to photograph them. Trying to coordinate both of our schedules along with our glorious Florida weather made  it a challenge to make it to photo day but we made it and I’m glad we did.

They are such a cute family, two sweet parents, two kids who couldn’t stop exploring and giggling. The icing on the cake was their amazing Australian shepherd, she was so well behaved and reminded me so much of a dog we had when I was growing up. It was a very fun afternoon!

This was one of my favorite family images of the day.

Hugs, Shannon

So when I got to Stephanie’s house, the baby was sound asleep. Yippee a sleeping newborn! Wrong! AJ had different plans, he managed to stay awake for most of his photo session.  No crying, he just wanted to look around.  That tickled me. :)   I just love newborns, so new and tiny. This little man is such a cutie, I could have held him all day. I’m guessing he took a long nap after I left.

Hope Mommy and Daddy like the sneak peek.

Hugs, Shannon
