Kim and Aaron are going to have a hard time picking from Rose’s latest session.  She is such a happy baby that is all smiles when she hears her mommy’s voice.

Halle was so much fun at this shoot.  She has gotten use to the camera since her mother is a little shutterbug. She lets use take tons of fun pictures. And the newest thing to make her happy, let her bounce up and down.  She’ll be walking pretty soon, you can see how much she wants too.

And I just love those little chubby cheeks!

Little six year old Dale was diagnosed with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.  Duchenne is a progressive muscle disease that robs boys of the use of their muscles and strength and eventually their lives.
Dale will be in a wheelchair by 11 or 12 years of age. Since his heart and lungs are muscles too, he will eventually suffer cardiac and respiratory failure. There is currently no cure for Duchenne. It is 100 percent fatal.

Dale’s parents Ric and Lelia Ginder have created the Cure Dale’s Duchenne Fund in order to raise awareness and help in the research for a cure to save their child’s life.

Gregg has taken on the task of documenting Dale’s life story.  From the fun events, like Christmas cookies to the different forms of theraphy that will hopefully prolong Dale from going into a wheelchair.  Dale is a wonderful fun little six year old, just like any little boy you may know.  Help his family find a cure for this fatal disease.

Katie and Ruston got married in Ft. Myers, Florida right after New Years, what a great way to start out 2009.  We got to know there families better when we photographed a Louisiana style dinner cooked by Ruston’s parents Jimmy & Flo.
The ceremony the next day was beautiful.  Officated by three priests, they told a touching story of how they met and are now working together at a Catholic school in Chicago helping those in need.  They truly are a giving and amazing couple.  The reception was also in an great location on the water where guest got to see a spectacular sunset.  The night carried on with a very touching toasts by their friends.  And a special toast by Katie’s brother, that had the whole room in tears.  What amazing families.

Here is a sneak peek at the pictures that we will be posting in the beginning of February.  Best of luck Katie & Ruston and keep the good work that you both do.  The world needs more people like you!

Jerry Greenfield, one of the original founders of Ben & Jerry’s was in Gainesville on Friday.  Gregg photographed the event and said that Jerry was one of the nicest guys he has ever met.  He scooped ice cream, autographed pint containers and posed for some very fun pictures with families and UF students at the Archer Road store.  Personally, I love Cherry Garcia (as well as the Grateful Dead).  I was totally bummed when I couldn’t photograph the event.  But my sweet husband brought me a scoop of Cherry Garcia personally scooped by Jerry.  That is so very cool!

Here are a few of the fun photos of Jerry visit to Gainesville, Florida.

Kelly and Dave had a beautiful ceremony at St. Augustine’s Church across from University of Florida’s campus.  The ceremony was performed by the bride’s Uncle, Father Gubbins.  Once the ceremony was over the bride and groom headed to Steve’s Cafe in downtown Gainesville for the reception.  The best man, Paul, gave one of the funniest toast we’ve ever heard.  Letting the groom know about what to expect from your wife in 20 years. (Paul, just a hint, women don’t want to think about what they will look like in 20 years)  And Sheena’s toast was very touching as she told everyone about how her and Kelly had been planning their weddings since they were kids.

It was a wonderful day and we are very excited about all the amazing moments we captured all day.  Enjoy the preview.  The rest of the photos will be posted next week.

The Esposito’s couldn’t resist a family picture that showed of their true Gator pride.  Sporting their National Championship tickets, Liz’s lucky boa & Rocky lucky Gator hat (cute and unique) they cheered in excitement as their hometown team is once again the National Champions!  Go Gators!
