People sometimes ask me...

People sometimes ask me what type of pictures I like to take the most. My answer to that would be Pregnancy pictures. It is definately a moment in time that you can't re-do. There is a certain connection between the mother, father and the unborn that can be captured. The unknowing love of what is about to come. Pregnancy pictures are your first pictures of you and your baby...of your family.

Crafton's Family Shoot

Sunset on the Gulf Shore

I took these consecutive pictures of the same sunset in Englewood, FL a few years back.

You would think it was a watermelon eattin' contest!

So my husband and I had some of our neighbors over for a cook out last month. And of course you have to have watermelon in the summertime! These pictures were shot in our backyard but just the expressions of a child are priceless!

Which One??????

Okay so if you have read the post prior to this one you know I have to submit a new photograph. Well I thought I would get some opinions from the people that support my photography...YOU! So here are my top 5 picks. Leave me a comment for the one you like the best.
