Shown here, my daughter, Cheyenne, and family dog, Zoe, look full of sunshine and happiness. To me it expresses summer; joyful and exuberant. I took this picture while "the girls" were hanging out together on our swingset. Full of unconditional love and playfulness, this photo depicts what we wish for most in a pet!

For me this picture represent a county feel that is very distinct to Nashville. It embodies spring time and music. This picture is one that I am very proud of as a photographer.

I just thought this shot shows the simple pleasures of summer. Taken at Beechwood Farms, just outside Pittsburgh, PA.

My granddaughter Madison and her friends have gone through school together since kindergarten and now are graduating high school . A new chapter in their lives is about to began.

This is my daughter, and my son always tells her, "You hit like a girl!" Well, yep, she does. And when she blasts that ball, she smiles at her brother as she rounds third base on her way home - making him and her whole family proud!
 

Just kids being kids -- playing before the start of their Pre-School Graduation at their Day Care Center in Dilhi, Ohio.

Hats Off! My son is now college bound, chemistry major ( notice the hat?) We got this photo in 1 shot! The perfect Kodak Moment

My 2 year old has wanted to be a ballerina for the past 6 months. I just happened to be at the beach taking photos of friends kids when she picked up the ribbons and I captured this shot. It was not till I got home and saw she was actually on her tippy toes that I really fell in love with how beautiful she and photos looked. She just loves it too because,'I look like a ballerina mummy'...

My son has been learning how to wake board the past few summers. Now, he's starting to get really high on his jumps, and he tells me he's ready to try flips! I can't say that I'm looking forward to that, as much as him!

After a long day at the beach, my youngest daughter was too tired to play anymore. Snuggling with daddy is always a great option.

My grandchildren enjoy along with their father in the playground.

Daddy and his first born both sleeping like babies.

This picture was taken in Destin, FL of my son and my husband. After I saw the picture, I immediately fell in love with it -- it looked so professional. I'm proud to say, I used my Kodak digital camera to take the picture.

I came across this delightful scene at our local beach and loved how the little boy mimicked his father's stance and how he (along with his teddy) was so absorbed in the sand drawing :)

After struggling with miscarriages for over a decade we were happily surprised with a baby girl when we least expected it. I photographed baby Aubrey in her daddy's arms in our home when she was only 2 weeks old.

Grand child of our friends, picture taken during a wedding party.

was so proud she was going to kindergarten!   

This is at my granddaughter's first birthday party. We all were having a great time except for Reese. The boys took over her birthday present bench. "It's my party and I'll cry if I want to".

This picture is of my daughter Laila, taken this past June by my sister-in-law. We were over at my in laws for dinner and we brought watermelon. My husband sliced it up and we headed outside to enjoy it. He was eating his piece when Laila started crying, so went over and picked her up. He offered her a bite of his watermelon and she tried it! He didn't get to eat anymore of it! She LOVED it. Alecia snapped this picture of Laila enjoying her first piece of watermelon and we thought it was priceless!!

Playing at the beach in Florida my son began drawing with a stick, gave me the idea to write in the sand. I love the composition here.

People are enjoying summer activities again after the long period of rain we've had here in the Northeast. I took this picture because I loved the energy, the interaction between team members and the dust being kicked up by the players.

A relaxing Sunday afternoon offered a great opportunity to snap a few photos. Getting my son and his kite in the same photo was not working well until I got the idea of shooting from below him.

I captured this shot one June weekend in my backyard. I loved seeing the older kids in my family spending quality time with the younger children. The bond developed by these small moments of interaction between the younger and the older children will forever be cherished and are priceless in memories.

Just enjoying a beautiful Manitoba summer, when a daring butterfly entered the scene, and would not leave us alone. This was taken in my backyard.

Do you remember leisurely afternoons with your grandmother telling you stories of djinn and animals with magical powers? This scene evokes the sentiment of those warm moments I shared with my grandmother...
 

The daughter of a friend, playing on a rainy day in Michigan.

I like this picture because reminds me that we can be happy with so little

Granddaughter playing in grass before she could walk.

This picture is special because it shows my funny and playful puppy enjoying cooling off on a very hot day in New Orleans this past June. The picture put the day in perspective--the weather was unreasonably hot and I was happy to capture the image of my Miki doing what we would all wished we could do on such a hot day.
