Lilly is one!

I cannot believe that I have already known this amazing family for over a year. A good friend of mine recommended me to Sarah and Chris when they were pregnant with Lilly. I absolutely adored them from the beginning, and when Lilly was born..well, the cuteness was just pouring from all of them!

We had Lilly's one year old session yesterday, and she was such a happy camper (as long as we let her crawl when she wanted to). Sarah made the tutu's and was prepared with pearls, flower petals, and all sorts of goodies for the session! I am such a girly-girl, so I love love love that Sarah is too! Lilly will forever be dressed with tutu's and headbands...it's her destiny!

When we introduced Lilly's first cake ever to her at the end of the session, she couldn't get enough. In fact, pulling the cake away was pretty upsetting for her...she wanted to dig into it even more.

Enjoy the sneak peek!

I always love to start the "one year old" posts with photos from their first year.
How sweet is she??

Absolutely beautiful family



Such a sweet girl!

I couldn't decide between the black and white vs. color...I loved them both!


She was loving it!

Amanda & Alan: Engaged!

November is going to be a busy, busy, busy month for Sivan Photography. With 6 weddings and 6 amazing couples that month, we are growing more and more excited for it! Amanda and Alan are one of our two 11-11-11 couples. Their intimate wedding will be held at the beautiful Town Manor Bed & Breakfast in Auberndale, Florida. We met with them last night for their downtown Orlando engagement session, and they were just ready to get the show on the road! I absolutely adore these two. They met on E-Harmony (which, by the way, I have MANY couple's who have told us their successful stories from that site and others like it) and have been together since. You can see it in their eyes and hear it in their sweet little nothings to each other that they are madly in love. They are such a beautiful couple, both inside and out, and we cannot wait until their big day!

Enjoy your sneak peek, Amanda and Alan!

I think this one is my favorite from their session. The "almost kiss" is hard to pull off when you are just dying to kiss the other person (like he was!), but man did they do great!

They. Are. Gorgeous.


I love this set!

If you don't know by now, I have a crazy love for clouds--white, grey, fluffy...you name it, I love it! I just had to incorporate the dramatic clouds into a picture.
Love!
And they claim they don't know how to pose!

Brianna Turns One!

I have been photographing Brianna for almost a year now (starting from right after she was born!). I absolutely adore her parents and the full-hearted love that they provide to her. They are so welcoming each and every time I see them, and Brianna has grown more and more accustomed to the camera. As she is getting older, I am enjoying seeing her even more. It's amazing to be able to photograph a baby from the very beginning and watch them grow.

Brianna turned one last week, and with a cupcake and balloons in tow, we were ready to get the session going! She was so happy the entire time. I have to say that I think the balloons were by far her favorite. Enjoy your sneak peek! I can't wait for her next session!

To start with, I wanted to show her very first year!

Brianna is ONE!
I just couldn't decide between the color and b&w. I love them both!

She is SO expressive!



We will pretend that she was telling us how old she is in this picture :)

Brittany & Ben: Engaged!

I met Brittany through my college roommate a while back. She had the sweetest personality, and I was so excited when she asked me to take her engagement photos! She and her fiance, Ben, recently moved to Texas and they came back to Orlando for July 4th, her 21st birthday, and their e-session. What I love about Brittany and Ben is how well their personalities work together. She was energetic and had so many ideas (she made all of the signs in their photos, by the way!) and he just went with it. He was a trooper to sit through our ideas as patiently as he did! It was pretty cute :) Ben is in the air force and will be heading out for 6 months soon, so I'm happy we were able to get some photos in before he leaves. Brittany herself is an aspiring photographer with so many creative goals (one of them being to open her own studio). I'm hoping that she can be a second shooter at weddings with me someday :)

Enjoy your sneak peek!

The lighting at the beginning of our session was perfect!

I adore the diamond on the side of her ring. Great choice, Ben!

How amazing are her eyes???

Mini-sessions in September!

Sivan Photography is having a mini-session day on Friday September 2, 2011 and would love to spend some time with you and your family/friends!

What is a mini session? Instead of 2 hours of photography time, we do a 30 minute session at a designated location. We offer back-to-back appointments. Appointments go quick and spaces are very limited, so book yours today!

Where will this particular mini-sesh take place? There is an adorable little park behind the Dr. Phillips library. It sits on a small lake, has a dock, and plenty of gorgeous natural scenery.

What do I get out of my mini-sesh? You will receive 15 high-resolution digital images on a disc with copyright permission. As always, you can purchase more images if you just can't choose! :)

What sort of amazing deal do we get??? It is only $75.00 + tax for this quick and fun session. The kids won't get bored, and you will be in and out with your busy schedules!

How do I book? Just like with all of our sessions and events, we require a 50% non-refundable deposit to hold your time. The balance will be due no later than September 2nd at your scheduled session block. Your time is not secured until a deposit has been received. Please contact me for payment details.

Did I mention that we have ADORABLE tutu's for the girls to wear??? :-)

E-mail SivanPhotography@gmail.com to find out more about booking your mini-sesh!

We look forward to capturing your special moments!
