I know, I know......

Yes, all! I'm back from Florida. I came home a few days early but first let me just say I had a FABULOUS time hanging out with my sister and her boyfriend!! I know what you're thinking though and you're absolutely right. I missed Avery and her daddy so incredibly much and those words do not even begin to do justice to what I was truly feeling inside! Florida was a LONG way to go for the first time without my bug and I will do it again, I will absolutely go back and visit my sister again. Our sister time, getting to know her boyfriend better and yes, my alone time too, was so very precious to me. It was just a whole new experience... leaving Avery for the first time. Here are some pictures of Katie and Brett. We were on Juno Beach and it was gorgeous. There were surfers out in the water and the smell of coconuts and tanning oil were mesmerizing; especially if you live in WA like me where we're getting a real taste of our fall weather!

Aren't those pictures darling? And I'm proud to say I have the most beautiful sister in the whole, wide world!! She always is super comfortable and photogenic... she doesn't even have to try to look good for a camera... she just is this way all the time! I love her soooo much!

Here's the sisters on our way to wreaking havoc in Florida on my last night in town:

OK, this was super exciting for me. While in Florida, I photographed my sister's boss, Amy, and her five-year-old daughter, Savannah. Guys, this is my first paid shoot and I couldn't be more pleased with how the photos turned out. Here's a small sneak peak for Amy and Savannah...

This picture really captures the true essence of who Amy and Savannah are with each other as mommy and daughter. They were the two easiest girls to photograph. They played and laughed with each other and I just shot away to my heart's content. Thanks so much girls and I can't wait to get your photos out to you!

Cheers to Florida and Katie & Brett and Amy & Savannah... thank your for the trip, I'll never forget it and don't count me out... I will be back!! Ha ha!!
