SNAKES!!!

Florida is an awesome state. I mean come on while the rest of the country is indoors with the heater on we are at the beach with our windows rolled down. Where else can you go to church and 85% of the younger generations are wearing flip flops. Where else can you wear shorts in January and have a tan all year round. Although it is a great state there are many things not good about this state. Hurricanes and insurance, 'nough said. Heat!! Leather skinned women and men, eww!!! Oh and last but not least SNAKES!!! The first day we moved into our house we left all the doors open and later that day when I was alone there was a snake in the house. Just two weeks ago there was a red rat snake in our garage and now we have a pet in our backyard. My husband found this new addition to our family when we were doing some yard work!! EWW!! Actually its not that bad once you figure out they are a good snake. Now introducing our new addition to our family... Frankie Blue Eyes!!

Zoey

Meet Zoey, she is the most adorable three year old I have ever met and beautiful too. We went to Anderson Park and pretty much had it all to ourselves. Easter is coming soon so she got to wear a dress that her Aunt Jenny bought her. I worked with both her Mom and her Aunt Jenny at Chilis, man all my clients are Chilis clients. So some of Zoey's favorite things to do where to spin around in circles and sing songs. She made sure I knew where she was all the time, "I'm over here." Oh and I think after this session I will write Anderson park and complain about their slide, who envents a slide that turns inward, she fell over the side twice... very silly idea. Now Presenting the marvelous and beautiful..... ZOEY!!!

Jake, Tanner, and Taylor

I love boys!! They are so much fun. Especially this group of boys, man it was hard work keeping up with all three of them. Kudos to you Kiani and Jason you seem to be doing a great job. I met up with this family and a local park and it was a ball. From swinging on the swing to climbing up the slide to falling head first getting a mouth full of dirt. These boys are adorable and love to pose especially Tanner and Taylor. I had fun lets do it again some time!!

They are best friends and that is the first step to falling in love. I use to work with Kevin and Kortnee at Chilis and now I get the privledge of taking their pictures.
