WELCOME TO SUN KISSED PORTRAITS

Visit my website at http://www.sunkissedportraits.com



I am a military wife, married to my hero. I am a mother of three incredible children. I am a daughter to the hardest working man I know. I am a sister, a cousin, a friend and most importantly a servant of God! I consult Him on everything, and am amazed every time He chooses to reveal something new to me no matter how simple it may be.

I have always had an interest in photography, but it became an obsession after my son was born. I took him to the portrait studios, and was greatly dissatisfied with the generic poses we always got. Yes the pictures were cute, but they didn't even began to capture the personality that I adored and wanted to portray to my deployed husband. We counted on these portraits to help create a bond with my husband who for far too many months got to know our children through them. It was important to me that the photo starring back at him was more intimate than what I was receiving from these studios. So my mission began. Since then I have diligently perfected my photography, both artistically and technically.

Photos are how my daughter was introduced to her daddy. Photos let my husband be present at not only her birth, but also at many birthdays for our children since. Photos allowed Daddy to see the excitement in his son's face at his first airshow. Photos of the kids at Christmas allowed us to share Christmas; even while we were thousands of miles apart.Our very favorite photos, are those of us coming back together again. The ones of our family whole!

I like details. I love freckles, hence the name "Sun kissed." I love baby feet, and hand holding. I am a sucker for a thumb sucker. I love to watch a baby learn to toddle. I am crazy about tulips and look forward to them all year! I love the smell of the ocean and sound of the waves, but hate salt water. Newborns melt my heart, and I marvel at the way pregnant woman glow. I cry at the mention of our military, and I am VERY proud to be an American.

Why am I sharing all of this with you? So that you understand that when you choose me as your photographer I am not just taking pictures for you, I am capturing your memories. I want to see your son in his favorite shirt, no matter how worn it is. I want you to get your daughter to giggle so I can capture her crinkling her nose. You don't have to have a deployed spouse to appreciate precious memories. I'm not going to take your average posed pictures, I'm not going to try recreate another persons work. I am going to capture your family, in their element. I want your portraits to reflect your family, your moment and your memories!

WELCOME TO SUN KISSED PORTRAITS, I can't wait to get to know you!


Christmas wishes

Can you think of a better Christmas present than a family photo shoot? If you're a man, than maybe you can, but ask any mom and she'd tell you that's at the top of her "Wants" list. Here are two families that were given photo shoots as Christmas gifts. Don't they have beautiful families! I hope you guys had as much fun as I did! Merry Christmas to you all...













I know this is supposed to be a sneak peek, and not your whole session, but I had a terrible time choosing which ones to tease you with. Thanks for being such great models. I had so much fun, anytime you wanna do it again just say the word! Merry Christmas to you all!


























Take Two

We didn't have time to do the family part of this session last week, so we did it this week.
I hope you like your peek... the rest will be up soon. Merry Christmas Ford family!





















Happy Birthday to YOU!












Happy First Birthday beautiful girl!
She liked the cake, more than she liked me, but still not enough to give me a great big smile. Even without the smile she is incredibly adorable! Here is your sneek peak. Looking forward to next week, when we do family portraits! Enjoy, and I'll see you soon!

This sweet couple will be tying the knot soon, but we needed engagement pictures first. I had a lot of fun photographing them. They were such good sports, up for anything I asked them to do.
