Santa's coming to town!

With Santa and the Mrs. On their way to Ponte Vedra this weekend to see all our local boys and girls at Sawgrass Village, it got me thinking about those reindeer. You know Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, and Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner, Blitzen and of course Rudolf but what do you really know about reindeer? Well here are a few interesting facts.
· A reindeer can pull twice its weight for miles on end providing muscle power for the nomadic saami people.
· Their antlers are made up of the fastest growing tissue in the animal kingdom, growing up to an inch a day.
· Both male & female reindeer have antlers.
· Reindeer eat any vegetation found in the tundra; they have an amazing sense of smell allowing them to detect food beneath 3 feet of snow.
· Reindeer fur is also very insulating. It protects the deer from 80degrees below zero up to 115 degrees.
· Reindeer can swim faster than an Olympic swimmer at around 4 mph. Wow!
Well I’m not sure the reindeer will be making an appearance this weekend, they will probably be resting up for their big trip, but I hope you enjoyed a little reindeer fun – facts!

Photos with Santa

Come see us at Sawgrass Village this Saturday December 8th from 2-6pm.

We will be taking pictures with Santa and Mrs. Claus at the gazebo.

This is a great opportunity to get a little shopping done while enjoying the holiday season.

The little ones can put in there special requests in with the big man while they have their pictures made and even take a train ride!

Hope to see you there!

Brothers & All Boy!

Meet Noah & Zachary, these are two very engergetic boys whom I had a great time photographing recently. These portraits were taken at St Augustine beach just south of the pier.

Noah is 6 years old and loves baseball and cars. He loves to go to the beach, swim, and play outside with his friends.

Zachary is 5 years old and loves both football and baseball. He's the "lady's man" of the duo with a new girlfriend everyweek (too cute!). He is very active and loves to be outside playing or swimming.

I had such great fun with them and am very glad I was able to capture a moment in these young boys lives , a moment to be cherished!

Ivy & Ryan

Last Saturday I photographed this mother daughter duo, we did both studio and outdoor portraits with outfit changes. Even though Ryan was not feeling well she did great and we all had a great time.

Just a Note

I am truly in the middle of the rush of the holiday season - so that is why it has been so long since I've updated my blog :( But I promise to get better about it and to continue to share whats happening at Firefly.
It has been quite busy this last month, Operation Tuscany was a success, I am looking forward to phase II (I will explain more of that later). The KidtKid sale went great - Thank You for all of you who came out and saw me, we gave away several portrait sessions so congratulations to those who won.
With Thanksgiving just a litter over a week away I am quite confident things will be even crazier than it has been but I do promise to keep things updated!! So keep checking back and leave me a comment!
