Steve & Cathy – Couples Session – Suwannee River – White Springs, Fl Photographer

05.12.17

I couldn’t wait to share this session with you all!! You don’t have to be newlyweds to have pictures of you and your spouse, boyfriend, significant other, etc. I would hope that you would want to take time out for each other and capture your life as it happens through every stage of your life (You know you want to! hehe) like this adorable couple did. These two have been married for 20+ years, raised their kids that have since left the nest and are enjoying each other’s company and plan to do so for many more years to come.

When we talked about locations, I learned that they’re adventurous and love the water so, doing their portraits outdoors near the river was the perfect recipe for their couples portraits! And how stinking adorable are they!? I just loved how these came out and was so happy when I got the ok to share them with you all. <3 Enjoy some of their favorite images.

05.03.17

Oh my goodness!!! I am so excited to be sharing this session with you today!! For those that follow my facebook, you’ve probably already seen me shout it already but, eek!!! Check out this Smarty who is oh so gorgeous to boot! Meet Skyler, Columbia High School’s co-Salutatorian for the Class of 2017 and a graduate of Florida Gateway College!! That is something to be super duper proud of!!!

I learned that she wasn’t totally excited about having her picture taken (like many teens including my own! haha) but, once we got started, I think you can tell from these pictures that we had tons of fun!!! and I am so glad she chose me to capture these for her. I fell in love with her and her Mom and had such a great time with them!! I think I can say they are now more than clients…they are friends. Just another amazing perk of my job. <3

I can not wait to see what the future has in store for this amazing girl! Please enjoy some of her favorite images.

Montana – UCHS Class of 2017 – Lake Butler Starke, FL Senior Session

04.28.17

Small towns can have some of the best locations for portraits…. the tiny towns of Starke and Lake Butler are no exceptions!!

Meet Montana, Proud Union County High School Class of 2017 Graduate! When her Mom and I started talking about what kind of pictures and locations Montana wanted for her Senior Portraits, it was mentioned that she had to have a couple pictures in her cheer uniform since it’s been a big part of her High School career (winning many awards btw! woot!)

Now knowing that, I knew we had to stay close to that area for pictures so, one day I came to Lake Butler to scout out locations as I wasn’t familiar with the area. Dare I say, it did not disappoint! I saw some cute places in Lake Butler and then kept driving til I hit Starke where I learned they have a super cute downtown area (that I have managed to drive around on my many trips to St Augustine over the years)! I just HAD to take her there!! As you’ll see from the first two outfits in these images, lots of great color and textures….Add in an absolutely stunning girl and there you have it! 😉

You’ll also see a few images of Montana with a picture frame with her Grandfather’s image… This was all her idea and such a sweet one! She wanted to make sure he was included in this special time in her life. When we started talking about her grandpa, who she lost at a very young age, it was quite emotional! But, she pulled it together and thought all of the happy memories and about how he’s still watching over her even if he can’t be here to see her graduate in person. I just love that she wanted to make sure he was not forgotten. <3

We shot from afternoon to past dark getting many different looks and she pulled off every look! Please enjoy some of her favorite shots from her session.

Maddie K – CHS Class of 2017 – St Augustine Fl Senior Session

04.27.17

Meet Maddie, another awesome Class of 2017, Columbia High School graduate! Smart, Funny and oh so adorable! We had a fun time wandering the streets of St. Augustine, eating good food and stopping along the way to take photos when I’d see a spot I thought would look great in a portrait. Some adventures along the way and then, there was that time I had her lay in the grass in her white jeans only to discover the ground was wet! Oops!

To finish the session, we raced against the sunset to Vilano Beach to take a family portrait of Maddie with her Mom and sister Mallory to commemorate this special time before Maddie grows up completely.

I can’t believe in less than a month all of the beautiful seniors I’ve been fortunate to capture this past year will all be walking across that stage to accept what they have worked so hard for over the last 13 years! I’ve still got a few more to share and can’t wait for you to see them! 🙂 In the meantime, Check out her fave images from her session. How cute is she!?

Delano & Morgan – Engagement Session – Kanapaha Botanical Gardens – Univeristy of Fl Gainesville, Fl Photographer

04.17.17

I am so excited to be sharing another one of my favorite recent engagement sessions!! Meet Delano & Morgan.

I’ve known Morgan for quite some time and was so excited when she contacted me to discuss photographing their engagement and upcoming Wedding in September. I knew any man that Morgan chose to spend the rest of her life with was going to be super special and when I met him and watched the two of them together, I knew those thoughts couldn’t be any more true!

Delano was a perfect gentleman. He opened the doors for her, was so attentive and sweet and it was just so obvious how head over heels in love they both are! I loved being able to capture their excitement as we wandered through Kanapaha and then on to their Alma Mater, the beautiful University of Florida campus.

5 more months until they say I do and I can’t wait! <3

Please enjoy some of their favorite images from their session.
