This weekend found me shooting a family we’ve known for some years now and are honored to call friends.  They’ve multiplied over those years and their latest addition is now seven months old.  Now a family of six, four girls in all, each one is more beautiful than the next!  Enjoy scrolling through…

My Nephews…

12 10 2009

America World is currently accepting photos of children adopted through their agency to add to it’s 2010 calendar.  Friday we did a “photo shoot” of my adorable nephews, which was the easy part.  Now their mom and dad have to pick the five allowable submissions from about fifteen favorites.  Here are a few of my picks…

Ocklawaha

28 08 2009

We recently enjoyed our annual Goeppner family vacation.  This time we found ourselves in Florida’s Ocala National Forest in the town of Moss Bluff in Ocklawaha.  It’s a beautiful part of Florida that makes you feel like you’re in another state.  It’s landscape is rolling hills along winding roads covered with giant oak hammocks.  Popping up all along the roads you’ll see signs for state parks hosting “springs” where visitors can cool down in the shallow, crystal clear waters that maintain their 70 temperatures throughout the year.  Here are a few images to peak your interest…

Cupid has struck!

5 08 2009

In the previous post of  four gorgeous young ladies, I failed to mention that our son is currently dating one of them.  Yes, he’s been smitten by an “older” woman…two months older to be exact!  Here are some images of the love-struck couple soaking in the last few days before they are pulled apart by a few hundred miles.

Sisters

5 08 2009

Below are a few of my favorites from a recent shoot with a very cool set of sisters.  They are amazingly photogenic and therefore made my job very easy!  The oldest sister is leaving for the University of Georgia in one week and wanted to give her parents a surprise gift of  some photos of their girls.  I hope mom & dad like ’em!

Road Trip

27 06 2009

I’m going to state the obvious…I’ve been in a bit of a blogging & photography slump!  I’ve had zero photo shoots and the pictures I have taken are all just personal family mementos.  However, since returning from a little road trip to Cleveland and back, I thought I’d share a few scene-scapes and such that I captured along the way.  Hope you enjoy!

Cousins…

15 05 2009

We recently had the joy of visiting with cousins from New England.  I wanted to take a few minutes to pull off a couple of family shots for this very sweet family.  Once again, I led all seven of them to my neighbors beautiful backyard.  We did these on the front end of my youngest son’s 11th birthday party!  A little rushed, but fun nonetheless!

Senior Shoot!

23 02 2009

This morning I had the privilege of shooting some senior pictures for a friend’s son.  What a gem this kid is!  He was so laid back and easy to work with, and as you can see quite photogenic.  Oh yeah, and he can fly that helicopter he’s standing next to in the last image!  He’s going to make some lucky girl a fine catch one day…
