Let’s face it, in Florida, we skip Spring and Fall. It’s either Winter or Summer here year round! :) In any event, it was the perfect day to hang out with Brenna + Nick and their completely sweet puppy Presley (yes, as in Elvis. Isn’t that awesome? :D ) They are tying the knot this August and Michael + I are so excited to be a part of the wedding day!

We started out with a friendly game of croquet at the Southwood House in Tallahassee. ;) Which quickly turned competitive… :)

But they kissed and made up. :) Play nice kids. :)

Woops, spoke too soon.

This is Presley. :D He’s a little shy at first, but when he warms up to you, he is the sweetest puppy ever. True story. ;)


Snuuuuuuuuggle. :) It looks comfy doesn’t it? I think Nick really was asleep here. :)

After snuggle time, we headed off to find some trees to climb. Brenna + Nick have been climbing trees together since they were little, and Brenna’s mom wanted a picture of them in a tree together. Umm, I think we can make that happen! :D

Only problem is, Nick is afraid of heights. ;) Brenna comforting Nick. :D

He got over it quick. :D

Brenna + Nick, we love ya’ll and we can’t wait to see you again soon!

Your works are wonderful, I know that full well.”

Psalm 139:14

I have been following this child since before she was born. Literally. :) Last Sunday, Michael + I were privileged to visit and photograph the growing Mallard brood! Blake + Kiley have been great friends of ours for awhile, and when we walked in the front door of their beautiful new home, I had to stop for a moment and take a breath. There, lining the walls of the front foyer, were all the photos that I had taken of Kiley when she was pregnant, and Evie when she was 10 days old. :D

Let me tell you, there is no greater joy or honor for me than being able to document important parts of people’s lives- not simply for being able to put your name on a piece of art; but to be able to connect with people on a personal level.

Let’s go back for a minute.

One of my favorite images from when Blake + Kiley were expecting:

Mallard-172

And Evie at 10 days old (how TINY is she?!):

And here is Evie now at 1 year old!
