Shannon makes me smile.  She lights up from the heart and out through her eyes… you know exactly what I mean, don’t you?!  The kind of person who draws you to her because of genuine kindness.  The same energy flows through her sweet husband and each of their three-and-a-half little people.  You can see laughter and fun and love all rolled into one when they hold hands, look at each other, and tromp giggling through the woods!

Almost every momma leaves a session wondering if we captured her little angels.  She wonders if they “behaved,” (we assure you, we just intend to play with them and don’t expect studio-fake-grins!), and Shannon was no different.  Not to worry, mom – they stole our hearts and our lenses!  I’m pretty sure they got that “cool, fun and relaxed” vibe that was so evident in mom and dad!

E. family, we are so honored that you allowed us to capture this amazing time in your lives, and to help you preserve that legacy you’re building with God’s guidance.  We can’t wait to meet #4!

Honestly, can you believe that is a fourth hiding inside that tiny little bump?

Leave some sweet love for the E. family.  We can’t wait to bless them with a special gift… 15 comments!

We’ll see you guys soon to “catch” the littlest!

hugs… angela and brian

Giggles and coffee… baked goods and Bibles… moms making memories together.  These ladies are astounding to me in their collective vision, passion, drive, gentleness of spirit and wisdom.  They came together to support one another in growing both as home educators and as businesswomen, and I feel like a better woman just being in their company!

There is such beauty in the friendships of women.  Thank you so much Mary and the rest of “the girls,” for allowing me to share your hearts and vision.  You are BEAUTIFUL, and the world is a better place because of you!

If her family didn’t already have me smitten, she would be the bait.  This angel-girl shook her head with a definitive “no” the minute I rolled in with my big bags of camera gear, and then she was off.  I was determined to gain the privelege of her acquaintance and… sigh… it was granted!  From her grandma’s antique high chair to the gorgeous rocker where we photographed her handsome boy cousins, Miss Aida kept me hopping… and I was one lucky girl to do so.  Thank you so much, Jenny and Chelsey, for allowing me to share your sweet time together… and to step into this precious little girl’s life for a few minutes.  Hugs!!

Sooooooooooo excited to finally get the word out!  My sweet friends Aline and Jules are throwing a bash at a gorgeous condo on Clearwater Beach to celebrate all the exciting things Loving Legacy Photography has been up to…  Stop by on your way home from work or kick off your shoes and stay for a few.  Come and bring a friend… see what we’ve been up to.  We can’t wait to meet you!

hugs!… angela & brian

Maia is the most beautiful little girl, and she touched my heart when  I met her sweet family in December of last year. 

It breaks my heart to share with you that this beautiful little girl has a disease called Spinal Muscular Atrophy which makes many aspects of her little life very difficult.  Maia does not have the strength to crawl or walk and will require a motorized wheelchair. The cost of a new power wheelchair is just over $20,000.  When her mom shared with me about a fundraiser to help provide a power wheelchair for Maia, I was so happy to donate a portrait session and 11×14 print to help raise funds!

SMA is the number one genetic killer of all children under the age of two. SMA causes severe muscle weakness in those who are affected with this disease, leaving them with chronic respiratory problems, as well as many other secondary medical issues.  Currently there is no cure or treatment for SMA. Here’s the lowdown on the fundraiser.  Go.  Play some pool.  Buy a drink if you’d like, or (Yes, Yes!) buy a portrait session with us.  Spend way more than you normally would, and do it for a good cause.  And end up with some beautiful portraits, and the knowledge that you have helped make life a little easier for one of God’s precious little ones!
