Julie & Lacey, A Wedding in Lake Wales, FL

admin — Sun, 11 Jul 2010 16:23:36 +0000

I feel like such a bad blogger as I just realized that I did not post Julie & Lacey’s wedding from 6.5.10. Their wedding was in Lake Wales and it was beautiful. It was extremely hot and rainy that day, so I think we were all thankful for a church wedding and an indoor reception. Have I mentioned how lately how much I love my job? I feel truly blessed to be a part of the wedding day. Here are a few of my favorites from the day.

The church where Julie & Lacey were married was quite sentimental for them. Julie’s parents had been married in this church and Julie has attended this church since she was a little girl.

I LOVE that colorful shoes are in style right now. It’s a lot of fun!

Welcome Samantha Joan!

Samantha Joan was born on June 2nd and is an absolute sweetheart. She definitely wanted to be photographed fully clothed & she preferred to be on her tummy. Here are some of my favorites from the day.

Lucy, the family dog, reminded me a lot of my dog in that she wanted to be in the middle of the photos. How could I resist including her?!?

Oh how I love newborns!

Welcome Nora Vivian!

This was a super special newborn session for me. (Okay, all sessions are super special, but this one was just a little extra special!) Sara & Kyle were my very first wedding & now I had the pleasure to photograph their newborn baby. : ) Nora was such a sweetie & a great model! She loved being on her tummy and was by far the “bendiest” baby I have ever photographed. Congrats Sara & Kyle!

Welcome Princess Brooklynn

I had the pleasure of photographing this beautiful 8 day old newborn. : ) It was definitely quite the “explosive” session and for those of you who have experienced a newborn session, you know what I am talking about! I must say that I have not laughed that hard in a very long time. Princess Brooklynn is definitely a princess & diva in training. Here are some of my favorites from the day:

Sarah & Patrick – A wedding at Leu Gardens in Winter Park, FL

I had the absolute pleasure of photographing Sarah & Patrick’s wedding last weekend. Their wedding was held at Leu Garden’s in Winter Park, FL. For those of you who haven’t been to Leu Garden’s, you are truly missing out. It is such a beautiful place & is the perfect setting for a garden wedding. Sarah & Patrick chose the lawn as their ceremony location, which was the perfect choice for a warm spring day.

Sarah and Patrick – I just want to say thank you for allowing me to be a part of your special day. You are such a beautiful couple, inside and out, and your love for each other is simply undeniable.

I was unable to stick to my self-inflicted rule of only posting 5 images per post. There were just too many to choose from! Enjoy!

I just love the light in the one above. We could not have asked for a more beautiful day.

The girls had a wedding huddle before they left for the ceremony. ”Go wedding!”

This one was just too cute & funny not to include!

Awaiting baby Samantha – A Maternity Session in Central Florida

Meredith was a little unsure about whether she wanted to do a maternity session as she wasn’t feeling oh-so-pretty. (This is a pretty normal reaction to the idea of maternity photos.) However, her thought process was along the lines of “what if I don’t get the chance to do this again, whether it be because we only have one baby or we don’t have time to do it later.” This is a great mindset to have! If you’re unsure of whether or not you want to do the maternity session, just do it! If you don’t like the photos, at least you know you gave it a try. (Disclaimer – I have not had any client say that they are upset that they did the photos. Every client has been happy & is glad that they did the session.)

Meredith didn’t want to do any completely bare belly shots, which is just fine! Maternity sessions are all about what the mom-to-be wants and I am more than happy to oblige. She brought along a lot of great outfit choices which is fabulous! I was so happy that she brought some color because I love color. : ) She is a gorgeous woman & I believe that came across in the photos. Without further ado, here are some of my favorites from the day:

Welcome Baby Ethan – a newborn photo session in Central Florida.

You are sure to recognize the parents of this gorgeous baby boy as they are repeat clients. I photographed this sweet baby boy at 6 days old. He is just so precious! I love that Bob & Kelly are so trusting of me as it really allows me to get some great artistic shots. Here are a couple of my favorite from their session. Enjoy!

Christian & Laura – A Leu Gardens Wedding

I had the pleasure of photographing Chris & Laura’s wedding on March 13th at Leu Gardens. It was a beautiful day made complete with flowers from Atmospheres Floral. Without further ado, here are just a few of my favorites from the day!

Cutie Contest

At the end of February, I had the pleasure of being the photographer for a Floor’s Direct Cutie Contest. The contest was open to kids age 4 & under. I must say that I was really impressed by these cuties! There were 33 kids in all & I think we only had 2 meltdowns (which is awesome!) The kids were all so stinkin’ cute & there is no way that I can possibly include all of them in this post. Without further ado, here are some of my favorite photos from the day!

The one above is probably my favorite “look” of the day. She looks sneaky & cute!

The little girl above did not want to take her hands away from her mouth, but I adore this image! She is so precious!

Look at those rosey cheeks!

I love babies!

Who doesn’t love baby drool?

Bob & Kelly – Awaiting baby, a maternity photo shoot

admin — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 23:21:51 +0000

I had the pleasure to photograph Bob & Kelly last weekend & had a lot of fun. They are going to be awesome parents & I can’t wait to meet their little one when he arrives! Kelly was a blast to photograph & was up for anything. I was able to do some fun artsy stuff that was still classy. Thanks Bob & Kelly!

Aren’t pregnant bellies beautiful?

I think she looks like a glowing goddess in this one:
