Sarasota Bradenton Baby and Child Photographer » Custom newborn, baby, child and senior photography

I intended on posting all this a week ago but, life just seems to happen sometimes! So, first things first:

My Schedule:

Starting next week Monday, I will be “closed” for at least 2 weeks while Jim recovers from his knee surgery. It is my turn to wait on him hand and foot! I will still be answering e-mails and I will be posting updates.

A big thank you those of you that placed your orders early so I could get them done this week! I will finalize those orders this weekend.

I have one more opening for September and two for August. With the exception of newborns, you know these are near and dear to my heart and I always try to work these in but please call prior to your due date so we can pencil you in.

Things to come:

I am working hard on adding some new products to my offerings and packages. I cannot wait to show you these! Some are in production as I type this, the rest I am still designing. I will post pictures as soon as it all comes together…you’re going to LOVE them!

I will try to continue to post during my time off….in the mean time, here are some beauties from my kitchen…

Could you not just kiss those little cheeks?!

I cannot tell you how many times I stumble over all the shoes strewn about my closet-some never worn-annoyed by their mere presence in the midst of my typical chaotic day. The same goes for my daughter and a dresser drawer full of nothing but shoes….most never worn. Well, that is until I heard a story on the radio that changed my attitude really quick! This story told of orphanages in countries all over the world that don’t have enough shoes to cover the feet of their orphans. Something so simple, a pair of shoes, that we take for granted every single day. Well, there is good news! All thanks to the Joy F.M. and their mission to collect 10,000 pairs of NEW shoes throughout the month of August. Along with Buckner International, they will be hand delivering these shoes to orphans and and at-risk children on a mission trip to Guatemala.

Our family will be shoe shopping and making our donations this weekend. Won’t you please join us?
