the kaplan family

these guys were so much fun and good sports. we all five were almost eaten alive by mosquitoes, iguanas and alligators...ok not really...but mosquitoes fer sure!


oh yeah and is this family just ridiculously handsome?? yup!

if you have kids or if you've ever been one yourself then i'm sure you are quite familiar with "the claw"! how do you like this very subtle claw action? (he's a sneaky one ...go daddy go!)

swatting and sweating...

it is HOT in miami! and the mosquitoes...don't get me started! anyway despite our little flying friends and the scorching heat we (i hope and can speak for all of us) had a great time this morning. I shot these guys back in 2007 and wow oh wow has jack grown. he's just chatting up a storm and smart as can be. anyway here are a few of my favorites...

hey can you guys work on jack's disposition...he really needs to laugh and smile a little more!



(fyi: shanna nye photography will not be shooting for the months of July and August unless you are one of the following: bellies & babies client, maternity, newborn or out of towner just visiting. If you think you want a holiday session contact me soon. i'm already booking september and october. last year all of my weekends were booked by the first week of october.)

meet the "cute baby makers"...

tesja!

i meet tesja today and when i arrived she had just woken up from her nap and seemed ready to go. as you can see she has the most stunning eyes. olivia...look out you have some serious competition! (now, if i could just photograph the two of them together.) anyway, as i was getting my camera out and getting ready to shoot... her mom started playing some fiercely fantastic brazilian music and that i must purchase! from the very first beat tesja was "on"! i know must children like music but tesja "is music". (whatever that mens?) thank guys... what a great way to spend my time, photographing a beautiful baby in the middle of the day on what could have been an otherwise boring ol' wednesday!

here comes the bride....

here are a few shots I took this weekend. beatuiful wedding...

























will post more later!!!

finally!

meet catherine and matthew. after much weather drama we finally had our maternity shoot today. catherine purchased the bellies and babies package (listed on my website under galleries then products). soooo keep checking back for newborn pics!

these guys were a real hoot! especially matthew. i love when clients come to shoots with ideas and suggestions and let me just say " he had some good ones". anyway here they are and all of their fantastic-ness! fyi she's a fellow junior leaguer so you know she's fantastic!

i'm such a sucker for "love moments"...

ok so remember I said that matthew had some ideas? well this one's for you matthew!
i'm crushing your head"...

and my total fav, fav, fav of the day!!!
