Tomorrow - Friday is my son’s 3rd birthday:)  Boy how time flies, it has been a VERY challenging year from 2 to 3.
Tonight at dinner Tom said “I hope 3 is much better than 2″, hate to tell him, but from what I hear it is WORSE…lol
Oh well, we will survive and most likely love evey minute of it ! and yes… he LOVES Gravedigger ;-)

He loves that big Gravedigger… rides on top of it all over the house, I catch him digging out empty boxes and bottles from the trash can all the time…
he uses his gravedigger to SMASH them…lol But boys will always be boys and that is fine by me !!!

Happy Birthday Blade… we LOVE you very much…

I hope you stay little FOREVER ~!!!!!!!!

Mommy and Daddy ;-)

Cathy: Happy Birthday Blade! May all your birthdays be happy ones!

Ever met a family that you just LOVED right off the bat? Well… Cathy and her boys fit that description ! They are just the coolest ?!?!?!?!?!?
Cathy and the family were up here vacationing from South Florida… her oldest son Robert lives here, he stayed after attending college here,
and her youngest son Timothy just graduated high school… CONGRATS TIM !!!!! Now Robert and Timothy HATE having their pictures
taken… It was like pulling teeth to get them to cooperate with me…lol But mom’s wants and wishes prevail EVERY TIME ! Tim told
me these were mom’s “Eternity Pictures” , which he described as “THE LAST ONES HE IS TAKING FOR HER !!!”  lol Don’t worry mom
I am sure that one day he will change his mind… well I hope he will change his mind…well I guess I really mean to say that
boy’s have a mind of their own and there is not a darn thing we can do about it !!!! And I cannot forget to mention Bob and Emily, Cathy’s parents,
they are absolutely positively adorable together… they are so full of life and totally adore their grandsons ;-) I had a great time
hanging out with you guys last week, and regardless of what the boys say I hope to see you again! AND… thanks for the “raising
a boy” advice…  I will be calling you in about 10 years for some more advice Glen…lol

oops… almost forgot about the super hot gals in the pics… Jamie (Roberts gal) and Miranda (Timothy’s gal)… You two have
some wild ones on your hands, but one thing is for sure… they are one in a million ;-)

It was fun guys….  your image gallery password is your last name - all lower case.. Enjoy ;-)
Love you guys….. Jen + Tom  BarefootSnapshots.com

Cathy: How cool is that! How did you make it so it looks like we are in the water?! Can't wait to see the rest!

Jen - Barefoot: pretty cool huh? I like to use the "crest" to stand on a lot... I don't know if "crest" is the right word but that is what I call it.... but I agree, it does look COOL !!!

Cathy: Perfect!!!!! Thank you so very much. I can't wait to share them with everyone. You captured the essence of our family so well. You see even farther than beyond the lens.

Beverly: I came over from Cathy's blog...beautiful photos. Now I know what Cathy looks like!

Fotografo Matrimonio: Well nice posed shots. I really like them

Have I told you guys lately that I LOVE MY JOB !?!?!?!?!?!?!?! And I totally ADORE my clients ?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
Meet Reed (left) and Wade (right)… and I can certify that they were the cutest ‘lil boys on the beach that day !
They are so full of life (and energy…lol) ! Fran and Jason are amazing too… they are so sweet. It is really hard to
see “emotions” when checking images on the back of the camera while working, it is not until you get home that
you truly get to really know your clients. Fran and Jason - WOW - when I was working on your images I saw it…
you guys are so into each other, and so in tune with the boys ;-) I hope you guys had a wonderful
Perdido Key Beach Vacation, and I hope to see you guys again … give the boys a hug from me !! Jen BarefootSnapshots.com

Yep, that is shells you see, Reed’s Shells ;-) I had the boys throw them at me, well it was supposed to be at me…lol
Wade very carefully threw them in front of me, but Reed… well he kinda chunked his way up in the sky ;-) We tried this
a few times and got the same results EVERY time…lol So, you don’t see Wade’s shells because they already landed…lol
I LOVE LITTLE BOYS ;-))))))))) They totally make me SMILE !!!!!!!!!

Laura and her family were staying at The Indigo in Perdido Key this past week, which she + hubby + Drew do every year. But this year her entire family was able to come… no better time than the present to get family beach portraits done. Perdido Key is an absolutely beautiful place to vacation ;-) and Laura and her family… well you’ll see… they are a super good looking group, and know how to SMILE on demand ;-) Which makes my job FABULOUS !!! Enjoy… Jen  BarefootSnapshots.com

Back in the end of April Baskin Robbins held their annual 31 cent scoop night and we had the pleasure of joing in all the fun ;-) So yes … that means you WILL see pictures of Blade through out the entire post, it was really fun to take him to work with me ;-) Every year Baskin Robbins gives back… this year they made a 100,000 donation to  the National Volunteer Fire Council (NVFC) National Junior Firefighter Program. Participating Baskin Robbins stores celebrated by offering 31cent ice cream… yep, you heard me 31 cent ;-) Lela over at Pensacola’s Baskin Robbins (Behind COrdova Mall) was slammed with a ton of supporters. I wonder if she has a count of how many scoops they served that night, I know it was a TON !!!!! The City of Pensacola’s firefighters joined us and helped all the kids gear up ;-) Lela… We had a wonderful time, you guys really rocked that night, the line was super super super long but you had it together… it moved REALLY FAST !!!!!  All the City of Pensacola Firemen that came out were awesome ! They were wonderful with all the kiddos… especially my lil brat ! Enjoy… Jen  BarefootSnapshots.com

I absolutely ADORE this photo !!!!!!!

Terri’s daughter Brooke contacted me about doing some last minute family portraits for them while vacationing in Perdido Key Florida at The La Riva. LAST MINUTE….   Of Course I said yes… who would want to spoil a family vacation by saying NO ;-) NOT ME !!!!!!! So I emailed her back and told her to tell me a little about them, she wrote back and said “I don’t want to scare you away ; ) We have 13 people. It consists of 4 families with a total of 5 kids” SCARE ME??? NEVER !!!!!!! And guess what… the 5 kids were all under the age of 5 ;-)

No worries, it was a piece of cake :)  Here you go… take a look !!
