Birthday Triplets at the Beach

The day following the triplets first birthday party we met at the beach for their one year portraits. I noticed the weather forecast called for sporadic thunder showers. Looking out the window it was just partly cloudy so we headed to the beach. The cloud cover helped keep it cooler and was just perfect.

The cutest triplets ever!

Halfway into the photo shoot it started to sprinkle. So we loaded the kids up and headed to one of the pavilions. Just as we reached cover the sky opened up and it started to pour rain.

Cheer up kids. A little bit of rain can't stop our photo shoot!

So what do you do when your plans drastically change? Make the best of the situation and just keep shooting.

And the kids had a blast playing under the safety of the pavilion.

How cute are these two playing peak-a-boo?

The kids were such troopers to not only leave the house early but to adjust to our changing plans. I hope to get back to Florida soon so I can hang out with these great kids again.

Birthday Triplets

Today I had the honor of photographing these triplets first birthday party. We were afraid they were going to sleep through their party but they finally woke up. WHEW! I can't wait to do their first birthday portrait shoot at the beach tomorrow.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AIDEN, EMMA, and KHLOE!

The birthday crew.

Having fun in the sun!

SMSgt Christopher King's Retirement Ceremony

   On July 20, 1987 Chris King joined the Air Force. His assignments took him to Panama, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Italy, South Carolina, Texas, Iraq, Afghanistan, and Florida. Chris also received numerous awards throughout his career to included Training Manager of the Year twice, NCO and SNCO of the Year, as well as First Sergeant of the Year twice. He has helped countless Airmen and made many friends along his Air Force journey.

   Chris and I have been stationed together twice. It was during my first duty assignment to Offutt AFB at the 544th Target Material Squadron that we first met. We wound up working the swing shift together and he helped show me the ropes. Although it seems like only yesterday it was 24 years ago. I could never fully thank him for his friendship and support over the years. Good luck on your new civilian adventure. I know that whatever lies ahead you will tackle it with the same perseverance and enthusiasm as you did while you were in the Air Force. I miei migliori auguri. Ciao!

Summer time in the garden

Today we did a beauty shoot with this lovely lady. I had been looking for someone to do a summer time theme with dresses, sandals, and hats and she was perfect. Despite the threat of rain, heat, and humidity she hung in there, kept on smiling, and seriously rocked this shoot. I am looking forward to working with her again.
