Bok Tower who?

I’ve lived in Florida all of my life, been to many states, and abroad to places like Spain and Africa – but some of the little treasures in my own state I have not traveled to – and one would be Bok Tower in Lake Wales. Yesterday, the wonderful and very accommodating Patton family met me for some fun family imagery at the well know locale. I had always been curious about it and now it has been revealed! While shooting, we came across some unique wildlife – a velvet ant (which apparently is not really an ant, rather a female wasp), a few swan and a wild turkey with two baby turkey! Here is an undercover shot of the elusive Pattonicae:

From 90 to 1 in 24 hours!

So this weekend was SUPER busy and I was lucky enough to be a part of a few milestone events for a few families in Tampa. It was a splendid 90th Birthday celebration for Mr. Tino Gonzales at the always wonderful Columbia Restaurant Friday night.

Then, Saturday, Baby Andrew’s First Birthday! I have been lucky enough to have been photographing this family for the last 3 years and to see these babies grow from belly to beyond is a wonderful honor!

Yay Seniors!

Marci and her mom came in today for a fun Senior photo shoot. Here are just a few sneak peeks from our session. What a great girl -and we all could not help to notice how much she resembles Kirsten Dunst! The forever fabulous Julissa Mercado was the make-up, hair and stand-in stylist/reflector holder. Enjoy!
