One for Diann.....

Sorry I haven't posted more pics but.....there is just too much to do here -- lay on the beach, eat, float in the water, eat, search for seashells, eat, lay on the beach -- you get the picture.  (And, I found one flaw with where we are staying - no high speed internet.  It takes forever to upload a pic)  So, for now, here is one to hold you over.  This was of the sunset on the first night we were here.  The sunsets are amazing here.

Not your typical island pic....

So this is not your typical pic of an island vacation.  But, tonight when we came back to our cottage, there were people sitting on the docks in the dark fishing.  There was one light on the cottage next to us that was providing the light for this pic.  I love this shot and had to share.  I will be posting a few pics over the next week or so.  I am looking for feedback....  The place we are staying is having a photo contest for guests who stay here over the next three months.  The first place prize is a 5 night stay....I want that prize!  Anyway, like I said, this is not a "typical" beach photo, but, I love it.  As always, I love to hear your comments....

Sneak Peek

I had to share this pic with everyone.  I had a such a fun afternoon taking engagement photos of this couple yesterday.  They were so much fun and you can tell how happy and in love they are.  I can't wait to take their wedding photos later this summer.  This is one of my favorites......I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this photo.  I will share a few more with you later but, just had to post this one for now.

Aubree's Dance Recital

Today we had Aubree's dance recital.  Everyone works so hard all year long practicing and perfecting their dance.....and it shows.  So much excitement and enthusiasm by everyone performing.  Erin and all the instructors do a fantastic job working with each of them to help them achieve their best.  It was a great show and this Nana and Papa were so proud!  A couple of weeks ago we decided to do a photoshoot with her dance costume on and these are some of my favorite shots of the day.    Great job to all the dancers.  Can't wait till next year's dance season...But, next ....on to soccer season!

Such a Sweet Baby Girl!

Today I went to visit a new family at the hospital.  Mandi and Nathan had a beautiful baby girl yesterday morning.....Ella Marie.  She is such a sweet baby.  Of course I had my camera and we did a "mini photoshoot".  These are pics I took in the hospital today.  She is one day old and already you can tell she has stolen everyones hearts.  Congrats to all of you and God Bless your new family.   She is such a sweetheart....and don't forget.....this Nana will babysit any time the other Nana is busy!

Celebr8 & Sk8 - Stevens Point

On Saturday I went to photograph the Celebr8 & Sk8 Event in Stevens Point.  It is an event where children and young adults skate to music.  They range in age from 3 through Seniors in high school.  My cousin's daughter has been skating nearly her entirely life.....and it shows.  Most of these pics are of her.  This was her final skating event and she did an awesome job.  It was a lot of fun to see all of them skating. (For the mom who was in the row below where I was shooting - if you want copies of your daughters pics, please send me a message on my email and I will be happy to get them to you - I included a copy of one of them in this group.)  Congrats Cheyenne....you did a great job and we were all very proud of you!

Just a Couple.....

Just  a couple of pics from today.  I had so much fun in Stevens Point with family.  Took lots of  pics of this beautiful girl skating in her final event.  After the event we went for pizza and took a few minutes for just a couple of pics on the street while waiting for the pizza to arrive.  Thanks for a great day!  Tomorrow I will share a bunch of skating pics and even a few prom pics........
