My last post I had some of these pictures put up but I've gone back and done a little more editing to some. Let me know what you think!

So yesterday I took Tj down to the fire station since he wants to be a firefighter when he grows up. The guys were absolutely amazing with him! He had such a good time he was telling me all about it on the way home, then he got quite and I realized he had fallen asleep. He is gonna be talking about this for quite a while. I've been down at the station quite a bit lately and had made friends with all the guys so Tj got a little bit of a special treatment. He even got to drive the ambulance! haha. I hope you all enjoy these pictures!

I think this was one of his favorite parts! haha












I love this photo!


In the headsets you can hear dispatch and if you hit the red butten you can talk to dispatch. But other than that you talk to each other thats one the truck with you.




I love this one, It looks like he was born to do this haha






Favorite shot of the day!


He went through the windo simulation like 20 times the guys were so patient with him though

Thank you guys! I'm honored to be going into a career that has such great brotherhood in it. I was at a local station on Monday, and they are already like family to me, its amazing how quickly you bond with people in this field. And I will listen to all the advice I can get. And I will try my best to keep posting pictures for you all.

I had to attend a Emergency Vehicle Operation Course (EVOC) in order to be able to get a job in the county at a fire station. The course was given at the local fire college, where after my father passed away a brick was placed in memory of him in a memorial there. I know to some of you its just another brick but it held so much meaning for me. When I found it I was jumping up and down and I almost cried, I was so happy. So I was able to get some really nice shots of it and get some pictures of myself with them. My friend took the pictures that I am in, I set them up and she basically just pointed and clicked! I did the editing on them also. I hope you all enjoy and comments are welcome!

This is one of my fathers t-shirts, and his helmet we were given at the funeral.


I'm not sure if this one or the one above it is my favorite still shot.


This was for all the firefighters at the memorial, but I wasnted the Marion County theme to specify our county in it.


I love the way it looks edited.


This is my favorite one of me and the brick!


I think that helmet suits me I cant wait to have my own someday!


I'm a little iffy on this one.


This is my friend Chelsea who took the pictures with me in them above. We had to get one together on the truck we just learned to drive. I parallell parked this thing and I had never parked that way before!

This was the first wedding I shot, the lighting in the church wasnt the greatest but it was my first gig I ever had also.

These are beautiful!

Thank you, I'm following in his footsteps so to speak. I'm currently in EMT school and then Paramedic school, and then the fire college. Lots of schooling ahead but it will be worth it!

I took these in memory of my father who passed away 5 years ago. The ones with the rings are my mothers engagement ring and my fathers wedding band. Comments welcome!

I know the flash is coming off the shield but I still love this one.








Love this shot!




This one was extremely hard to get. I argued with the rings for forever. And after several attempts I got a picture that I liked.

These are just some fun shots that I've gotten of Tj. Comments welcome!

He has amazing eyes!


These were taken the day after he got out of the hospital so his band is still on








Love this to show his growth through the year to come


TJ wants to be a firefighter (I did not corrupt him i swear!) and so he loves wearing my dads helmet

These were taken at Auroras dedication at church. I personally hate the lighting in the church. There are also a maternity one or two in here also. Comments appreciated!

She made a face and our preatcher mimiced it.


This was durring a prayer

These are pictures that I took right after the birth of a friends baby. I had never done hospital shots so these were a first, comments are appreciated!

This was right after they took her foot prints




She still has that brand new mom look. This was also the first time she held Aurora


Proud mommy and daddy!


She has the cutest dimples!






Bet you can guess they are gator fans!

Yea it wasnt my first choice to use that sheet. i had another one all ironed out and everything but the couple brought me this one and said they wanted to use it instead so i did what they wanted and they hadnt ironed it and they told me this at the begining of the shoot.

Thank you so much! This is why i posted on here i wantes.to get some constructive critisim. i will definetly use your advice!

So after the maternity shoot I did, it slowly turned into a family shoot for Sara and TJ. Here are some of the pictures I took of them. Again a lot of them have been edited. I'd love to hear your feedback!

Show momma the love!


I had this blown up to an 8x10 and it looked gorgous!


when I was TJ's nanny I tought him some sign language and this one stuck like glue!


I just snapped this one while he was playing by my feet. He wanted to be like Aunt Sue and have pictures with blocks on his belly too.


Lets spell my name mom!


By now the backdrop had been completly moved around and we were just taking pictures for fun.


I think Tj is a little to excited!


He decided to throw his blocks in the air.

So I'm trying to start a little photography business and I've been photographing this one family for a while now to build up my portfolio. Now remember that I haven't had any classes and I'm still working on things so any comments and helpful hints would be appreciated. These are some of the maternity shots that I took of this wonderful couple. As you can tell a lot of them have been edited but I like to try new things out on photos the originals were kept and given to the lovely couple also.

So we started off with simple onsie pictures.


Love this one!


Since they are florida gator fans we had to have a gator picture too! If you look at Brians hat you'll see the pop of color in this picture.


Aunt Sara had to have a picture with the shoes she bought!


Aunt Sara and her shoes for Aurora!


More shoes!


So the little boy is TJ, Sara's son and one of my favorite topics to take pictures of.




So TJ was being really dificult and since I'm not a porfetional I didnt have the studio setup so part of my backdrop was not covering the whole background in this picture.


One of my favoirte pictures of the sisters.




I love this one like this instead of full color. Sam applies for the next two.






In the small space I had to work in this one was extremely hard to get.


Mommy and daddy


I have more plans for this picture.




Love this one! These are also the ducks she got at her babyshower!


They were just sitting there while we were talking and I manage to snap this relaxed unposed picture.


TJ hopped back in again!


For some reason he did not want to kiss or touch Aunt Suesie's belly!






I had daddy undo the bow and took severl pictures right after the other, you'll see the picture I had planned for this at the bottom.


This one took a great deal of angling the camera right. Brian has a huge FL gator tattoo right under this one of the babys name.


So both of their tattoos have the color pop in them Brians was a lot lighter and harder to see.






This was a picture that Sue wanted and Brian was not thrilled with taking it. Sara was trying so hard to make him smile and laugh. She succeded below.




TJ found the blocks. he later layed them on his tummy trying to be like Aunt Sue


Grandma had made this dress and it was simple adorable!


Starting from the upper left and moving to the right, down, left, and up is the process of the bow untieing. And in the middle we have a beautiful Aurora Lynn!
