Rock You Like A Hurricane!

Dana is mom and a workaholic.  But deep down inside she is a head banging, metal loving, 80’s hair band kind of girl!

The studio is not complete but I needed a test subject to test out the lighting.  Thanks Dana for playing your alter hard rocking self.

Rock on!

Kanvas Giveaway!

Remember my Key West bride, Ashley?  Well she is the aesthetician at Kanvas located in midtown.  She has been wanting me to come in forever for a facial.  Due to both our busy schedules, we finally set a date months in advance and I finally got to experience her magic touch yesterday.

I can’t stop looking at my face.  Love it.  She is also helping me get rid of the wonderful dark brown spots on my face due to carrying Rox!

So, to experience Ashley’s magic, all you need to do is leave a comment just to say ‘Hi’ and you will be placed in the drawing for a facial!  Men can get in on this too.

Beautiful Ashley.

Kanvas.  Lisa the owner has an eye for detail.  I hate to say this but I do judge a book (and magazine) by its’ cover.  And Kanvas would definitely be a book I pick up due to the sassy style.

Deadline is Sunday night and the winner will be announced Monday morning.

Cape San Blas

To celebrate 40 years of marriage, their children had me come out to beach to capture pictures of everyone.  Especially pictures of the grandkids!

Let’s start off with the youngest, with only eight months under her belt.

Meet Mary Helen.

Jack who is 2.5 years old.

Meredith with her curls.

Caroline.  I asked her if mommy and daddy ever sing the song ‘Sweet Caroline’ to her.  Her answer in an exasperated voice, “All the time.”

Sweet Sienna.   Sienna was doing her modeling poses and I got this one.  My fav.

Hailey was also working the camera.  If you got it, flaunt it!

And our two lovebirds.

The bigger girls wanted to play too.  I love the following series just because they radiate pure fun!

Time for the big group picture.

And a special thanks to this family from Atlanta.  Without you, I would still be cleaning the sand out of my gear!

Ashlyn’s Memory Shot

Welcome To The Jungle!

Campbell is now a big one years old.  They really, really do grow so fast.

Here is a little flashback of little Campbell during his first day of his new world.

Mommy had a jungle themed party for his first birhday.  Amazing cake!

Already making a play for the ladies.  Campbell and Rox hanging out before the big paarrteeee.

Mommy and Daddy getting a shot with the birthday boy before the cake.  I think he looks just like mommy but everyone else says daddy.

Yes, mom had him a year ago and she looks like this.  It’s called running three times a week and teaching spin once a week.  And I just found out she took up tennis.  Steph is going to want to play a game when she is in town.

Aubrey and Olivia

Not one but two redheads.  Freckles and all!

You know I love redheads and these two were so easy to photograph.  When you look this good, nothing can go wrong.

Meet Olivia.  Spunky and full of life.  Aubrey tells me that they do not share a room because Olivia is just too loud.  ha.

Meet Aubrey.  Sweet and reserved.  She will be the one looking after her sister and making sure she doesn’t get into too much trouble.

YOU MUST WATCH THIS!

I saw this on Good Morning America this morning and I know it is making all the blog rounds but I too, want to be a part of all the fun. 

You know it is good when you are sitting in your chair clapping and so wishing you were there!

Darian and Ryan

These two boys are too handsome!  Darian, the older brother, is super easy to get a smile or laugh.  Ryan, we had to coax a little more.  I’m sure mom or grandma are behind me for this shot making silly faces at Ryan.

Grandma came all the way from California to see her boys.  And boy, do they love her.

You never too old to get kisses from your mommy!  Remember that Darian and Ryan!

So we decided to do some head shots for fun.  I told Darian to give me his best GQ look and I get this.

Oh, Darian, I could just hug you.

Asked Ryan to give me the same look.  Uh oh mom.  You got a lady killer on your hands.

Serafina, Kylie and Jacob

Serafina’s cousins came all the way from Spain to visit her.  So their mommies decided to have a photo shoot so they could capture just some of their time here!

Look at Kylie’s little smirk.  Too cute.

Kylie and her little brother Jacob.  And yes, Kylie does look like Penelope Cruz.  Beautiful children.

Serafina Rose is her full name and she had this name before Ben and Jennifer Afleck gave their daughter the same exact name!

Look at that happy, squeezable face.

Grandma came too.  We love our grandma!

I promise their mommy did not get eyelash extensions before the shoot.  Wow.

La La Land

I got an email from my sister today concerning my niece and nephews’ vacation in Hollywood and had to share.  It made me smile.

I am so glad that even after every thing that has happened in their young lives that they still can be kids.

**************

The boys are having fun and boy oh boy can they be a handful.  I have a great appreciation for nannies and daycare now.

My coffee intake has increased from 1 cup a day to three, I’m not sure where they get all of their energy:)
Thomas never wants to get out of the pool once he’s in, his little nose is peeling so I had to put my floppy hat on him on the ride to the beach. He insisted on having the top down.
The girls took some time out of their busy schedule of shopping to go to the wax museum.  They took some really cute pics.
You, Bruce and foxy Roxy should come out when you get a chance.
