Hunter

Meet Hunter! I had a blast taking Hunter's pictures out in Winter Garden! We found the perfect pink and black wall (who doesn't love a bright pink wall?!) to take pictures in front of! It just so happened that the day we took Hunter's pictures was her 6th birthday! How fun is that!? And how can you not fall in love with those big brown eyes of hers!! Hunter I hope this next year of yours is a great one!!

Lonnie + Lori

Meet Lonnie and Lori! They are some friends of mine from Texas who came in for Chris and Ruthie's wedding and let me take some pictures of them on the beach while they were here in Florida! I wish you could meet this couple in person they are so sweet and genuine, Chris and I really enjoyed getting to hang out with them while they were here! Lori is an awesome woman of God who has so much wisdom and peace it's so awesome just to sit and talk to her. This was the first time we had a chance to meet Lonnie and it was so neat to see how in love they are with each other, it's like they got married yesterday!! Lori and Lonnie you were such a pleasure to photograph! Your honest, open love was beautiful to watch and attempt to capture!! Love ya'll and can't wait to see ya'll again!!

One of my new favorite pictures... laughing pics are always my favorites!!

This picture is probably one of my all time favorites ever.... how romantic is this.... he's kissing here hand.... and not I didn't tell him to do that..... he's just that romantic!! Love it!!

Sneak Peek: Chris and Ruthie +Lori and Lonnie

Hey everyone!! Here is a sneak peek of Chris and Ruthie's wedding this past weekend on the beach in Clearwater. It was the perfect sunny day for a beautiful beach wedding... can't wait to share the rest of these pictures with you.... but until then enjoy this little glimpse of their wedding day!!


Later that same day I had the opportunity to take some pictures of some very good friends of ours who flew in from Texas to Florida for Chris and Ruthie's wedding! Meet Lonnie and Lori! We had a blast hanging out on the beach.... here is a little sneak peek of their session!! More coming soon!!

Seniors: Holly and Shannon

Sometimes I just can't get over how much I love taking pictures... every time I go take pictures I love it more... and the best part about it is getting to know the people I take pictures of. Last week I tagged along with Ruthie for some senior pictures. We got up early (6am early!) to escape the afternoon heat. Say hello to Shannon and Holly two seniors at The First Academy!! They are both super sweet girls with really fun personalities... we all had a blast wandering around downtown taking pictures. Check it out....

I think one of my favorite things about taking pictures is letting peoples personalities show through in their pictures.... and what better way than making goofy faces at the camera! These are pretty much my favorite pictures of Holly and Shannon... so cute!!



For the end of the Holly and Shannon's senior session they brought along a tea set and outfits to go with it!! This really shows how creative and fun Holly and Shannon are... and they rocked those straw hats!!

Thanks Holly and Shannon for being so much fun and letting me tag along... hope your senior year is great!!

Ruthie and Chris: Engagement Part 1

Yes!! Here it is finally Ruthie and Chris' engagement pictures Part 1:The Beach!! We took these while the guys (Chris Allen Band) were playing at a camp in Destin, Fl. The beaches in Destin are absolutely gorgeous so we headed out super early one morning to take pictures on a deserted strip of sand. Ruthie and Chris are such a cute couple... I can't wait for their wedding coming up in October! Part 2 coming soon... enjoy!!

This picture below is pretty much one of my favorite pictures I have ever taken.... aren't Ruthie's eyes just gorgeous!!
