The {K} Family... Orlando Family Photographer

Headed back to the trucking station...or whatever it is..actually, I think it is an old orange distributing station...anyway, went back because it's such a great place to shoot. Had lots of fun with this family..super cool kids..and yeah, the parents were pretty happening as well...enjoy your little peek..more very soon~!

Broken down barn + two kids... Orlando Children's Photographer

Took these two out a couple of weeks ago...had way too much fun..sharpie markers on the feet..yeah, that was way ticklish...bubble gum popping and a mama that was "ready-to-go" {love you!} So..K&K&K...look, love...and laugh~!

Trickin' and a Treatin'... {Orlando Child & Family Photographer}

All dressed and ready, a lucky little leprechaun, a blueberry girl, and a hamburger w/ a side of fries..set out to score way too much candy...It was cold tonight, the first time EVER, that I can remember it being cold on Halloween..it was quite nice. We started out..all was well. First house, giant pixy sticks..ahhhh yeah.. kids on scooters zip past us...second house...M&Ms and a fun size Milky Way..not to shabby...a few family's in golf carts ride down the street..third house...Dum Dum Pops..ok...And then he announces..."MOM..I'm done..let's go home! My feet are tired of walking..Why didn't WE bring out the golf cart???" Ummmm...maybe because we don't own a golf cart. Adler was done, feet aching...after three houses..he wanted so bad to get home to devour that pixy stick..but on we dredged..much to his dismay...

Piper...was concerned all night, that she would get "sugar bugs" if she ate to much candy..and at some point..she declared that her teeth hurt...and she let us all know..that the moon tonight..was a quarter moon. It wasn't. Adler screaming, I want to go home..Piper saying NO..it's treatin' time...on we went...


Raygan and Sayler stayed a few houses ahead of us..wanting to look "cool"..appearing that they were on their own..but at the same time..still afraid to get to far from me...running ahead, but always looking back..two cool chicks..trickin' for candy..all "alone"....

I was freezing..it was windy..I kept eating Snicker's..

The oddest event of the evening came when the girls came running to me...waving a twenty dollar bill..they told me that the house had run out of candy, so they were giving away twenties...what the?? I asked which house it was...because I was debating making them return it..I mean really, how bizarre is that? But they didn't remember which house it was..hmmmm?!

We headed home..Adler broke into his pixy stick..he didn't like it..Piper was screaming that her teeth hurt..and the girls poured their stash out and started the trade-off...

They had a blast..way too much candy...

Aching feet, sugar bugs, golf carts, quarter moons, pixy sticks, freezing, twenty dollar bills...

My kids, smiling faces...lovin life...on Halloween night~!

Me and my girl..and yes..it was super windy..that would be the reason for the fly-away hair...

Loving the little hand hold here..

dawson & mom

Headed out a couple of weeks ago on the little shoot for Dawson's 9th birthday. I do believe he was one of the best behaved children I have ever shot...not one single complaint..even when I told him.."one more shot" fifteen times...he was a great sport! I also had the chance to shoot his actual party as well..which was WAY.TOO.MUCH.FUN...sno cones, rock climbing wall, massive bubble pit...swimming, cake, screaming kids...just the way a party should be...

Thanks Missy..for letting me capture him for you...you've done such an amazing job with him..be proud~!

An 8 year old missy...

ETA: Before you read my post...My bud, Renee..just popped up her blog post about our box exchange...you HAVE to go read it..I am laughing about those Twinkies...too funny..but I've promised her..soon..a box...just for her~! Check it out HERE

And, I tried the Vegemite this morning..like Renee said...on hot buttered toast..and Um..not good~! Can definitely say this WILL.NOT become part of my morning routine..and this is somewhat funny..and somewhat sad all at the same time...but, when the box came...My husband was looking through and grabbed the Vegemite....and started to sing the Men at Work song..."I come from a land Down Under".. well he blurts out the lyrics...

"Buying bread from a man in Brussels
He was six foot four and full of muscles
I said, "Do you speak-a my language?"
He just smiled and gave me a Vegemite sandwich"

OMgosh..I just got it..the "Vegemite sanwich part"...for years..I've always thought they said.."he just smiled and gave me a "bit of my sandwich" I've been singing it this way since my tween days..never knew what Vegemite was..and those words seemed to make sense..so, I went with it...SO funny..I've been enlightened..at the age of 36..I've got the words now!


Alright..the photos...Took this little lovely out a couple of weeks ago..had the best time...raining off and on, covered in mud by sessions end, lost two lens caps and locked my keys in the car...mama wanted mostly moody shots...we snuck some giggles in anyway..

So..not sure what happened here...but I added this post..and BAM..all of my sidebar stuff, got bumped to the bottom of the page..UGH~! It's way too late, and I'm way too bagged for me to figure this out now..but just so you know..I will lay in bed tonight and worry....stuff like this drives me...I know, I know...it's a sickness...Can't wait for my new blog-O-rama...have someone working on one for me as I type...Yay me~!

Goodies from Australia...

The other night..I was chatting with one of my photography buds..Renee Oakenfull, who is a fantastic photographer..and a rocking designer of all things...check her HERE..Anyway, she was helping me..AGAIN..with some photoshop stuff. I made the comment that I wish that I could somehow repay her..for all the energy she puts into me..which is ..A LOT! I told her I'd send her a big box of American yums..and she said, "How fun..we'll so the same!!" Anyway, we got the kids involved..they were so excited they could hardly stand it..went shopping, packed it up..and shipped it away! We were both a bit surprised to find that it cost us nearly $60 to ship it..ACK~! The shipping costs nearly as much as the food...

Day after day, my kids asked...did it come yet..and according to her, hers did the same..Finally..the box arrived..it was better than Christmas...they COULD.NOT.WAIT!


Just snapped a few shots of them opening the box..SOOC of course..how I would have loved to spent an hour making them real pretty..but right now, it's just not going to happen...not stellar photography..but you can see the excitement on their faces..which is what it really is all about..

The Vegemite was SO funny...I knew what it was...but being that everything in the box was a sweet treat..Adler asumed that the Vegemite was too.. He popped it right into his mouth and took a squeeze..OMGosh..I was laughing so hard...

I'm thinking by the look on his face...he wasn't a big fan..

Now it was Sayler's turn..check out Adler..he just cracks me up..

Thinking...Sayler's not loving it eihter...I talked with Renee today and she told us the proper way to eat Vegemite..on hot buttered toast...I'll give it a go in the morning..but thinking..hmmm...I'll let you know..

And Piper..not sure what's going on here..not loving the Tim Tam maybe? The others LOVED them..so yummy~!

This was by far the favorite..we all LOVED it..the bag is GONE...

One of the things that Renee really wanted to try was a Twinkie...when we went to buy them..Sayler questioned me as to what a Twinkie was...because she had never had one either! We put a few in the box..and somehow...when her back was turned..her kids ate the Twinkies...all of them...she was so bummed! So Renee..I promise...soon, you'll get an entire box of Twinkies..all for you~!

Thanks so much for sending the stuff...Raygan was SO funny...putting all the little leftovers in little baggies..telling them...We'll never have this stuff again..so we need to pace ourselves...

From us to you...muwah...love you~!
