Audrey and Brandon are Married!

2010-05-30T23:05:00.008-04:00

Audrey and Brandon's wedding was in April out in Gainesville, Fl. Despite being in the Swamp drowning in Orange and Blue, it was a beautiful day. The two of them were just ready for this day. You couldn't help but notice they were in their own little world. Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Cason, here's to many years to come happily married!

Welcome Home Baby Shower/Birthday Party

2010-05-30T22:53:00.006-04:00

Thanks to a referral from a fellow photographer friend I was able to shoot this party. Deborah and her family were lovely and so welcoming. Thank you for having me capture these memories for you and your family.

Melissa and Brandon's Shoot

2010-04-22T19:26:00.006-04:00

I've known Melissa and Brandon since high school and every chance I get them in front of the camera its like magic. Not only are they both drop dead gorgeous, but they are natural models!

Audrey & Brandon Engagement

2010-04-21T01:27:00.003-04:00

One of my favorite parts about doing photography are the friendships you form with your clients. I met Audrey and Brandon last summer. My photography professor from FCCJ referred them to me when they emailed him looking for a student who would be interested in photographing their wedding.

Once I got the two of them in front of my camera it was just magic. Since the engagement shoot I shot their wedding earlier this month and will soon have some sample shots up from that day. I look forward to keeping in touch with Mr. and Mrs. Cason. I don't know maybe take mini Cason pictures one day. =o) You just can't help but love them.

Meena & Enam's Wedding

2010-04-21T01:12:00.004-04:00

Meena and Enam's wedding is an experience I will never forget. They had two different cultures combined into one wedding. Capturing their wedding was amazing and I think the photos speak for it's self. I only wish I would post them all on here for you to see. Thank you Meena and Enam for allowing me to be a part of you day.

Meena & Enam Pre Wedding

2010-04-21T00:53:00.003-04:00

Meena and Enam met with me the day before their wedding to have a more intimate shoot before the Big day. We met out at Ponte Vedra Beach and even though it looked like it was going to pour any minute, the rain held off for us. The two of them just glowed through the entire shoot.

Homecoming

2010-04-21T00:33:00.003-04:00

Here is a personal blog, which i don't think I've done on this site before.

I'm posting a few shots I took of my niece, her boyfriend and two friends before going off to their homecoming dance. Even though Chelsea is my niece, she is more to me as a little sister. I'm the youngest of four kids and never knew what is was like to be a big sister, until I was 8 years old and my sister gave birth to Chelsea. Growing up I always felt the love, guidance and protection of my older siblings. My sister was my role model for me and I only hope I am for Chelsea. I love you Chelsea Ann!

Sherry and Russell Hollister

2010-04-21T00:26:00.002-04:00

This goes to show how far behind I really am, the following shots are from Sherry and Russell's Christmas shoot we did. I love working with these two, because they are just so comfortable in front of the camera. They go with what ever ideas I have and I look forward to working with them every time. Plus they're naturals!

Makenna's 1st Birthday

2010-04-21T00:18:00.003-04:00

Some of you may remember Makenna from her 6 month old pictures I did last summer. I couldn't believe how much she grew in the 6 months I had not seen her. Makenna is such a sweet little girl and knows how to work the camera.

Bryant Maternity

2010-04-21T00:09:00.003-04:00

Here's Tiffany, Hunter and Doodlebug aka Sophia. Tiffany has been one of my models for over two years now and I'm sure her daughter Sophia will love the camera just as much as Mommy. Congrats to them both on their little bundle of joy.

The Pate Family

2010-04-20T23:24:00.005-04:00

Dear blog, I promise not to neglect you in the future. I have some catching up to do with blogs...

Here a few of my favorites from the shoot with the Pate Family. There was never a boring moment with this group. Enjoy...

Ivy's Adorable Two's!

2009-11-03T20:47:00.008-05:00

Last month I had a photo session with my sisters friend Amy and her adorable daughter Ivy. One of Ivy's favorite characters is Tinkerbell, but when she says her name it comes out Annabelle. =o) So, when she met me she thought I was Thee Tinkerbell. Needless to say I LOVE this kid! Our early morning fun shoot turned into exercise for us. Ivy was running all over the park and just laughed at Mommy and me as we tried to catch our breath.

Here are just a few of my favorites, there were so many for me to choose from.

Russell & Sherry are Married!

2009-11-01T23:00:00.007-05:00

These are some of my favorites from my first wedding into my Photography career. Yes I have done a couple second shooter weddings and also a couple before I went digital, but this is the first as far as me putting my game face on and getting serious.

Sherry and Russell met working at UPS together. They were coworkers turned into friendship then blossomed into love. I have had the pleasure of knowing these two for a couple of years now and when they asked me to capture their wedding I was so excited and nervous at the same time. Sherry and Russel had complete faith in me and didn't second guess one bit. Their wedding was a great experience and I am so thankful to know them. Congratulations to you both!

The Twins & Co.

2009-10-21T22:26:00.008-04:00

I had the pleasure of having a session with Chelsea, her best friend Taylor and Taylor's mom Melissa. Taylor and Chelsea have played softball together since they were little kids. They are known as The Twins, because they share the same birthday only hours apart in age. Melissa asked me to take pictures of her and Taylor, because they have not had any taken together since Taylor was a baby. She also thought it would be great to bring along Chelsea so they can get in their best friend pictures while we were at it. Not only are they three beautiful ladies, but they are goofballs! One of my favorite sessions! Enjoy!

Three years gone in a flash!

2009-09-30T19:25:00.003-04:00

I was looking through my external hard drive and saw some old photos I haven't looked at in over a year. It made me realize I have tons of people to thank for getting me to this point of actually shooting weddings and trying to make a business out of what I love.

My family, fiance and friends have supported me all the way. They pose for me when they don't want to, go on late night freezing photo adventures and help with school photography projects. Here is a slide show of the past three years of work. All of these were taken by my Canon Powershot. Even though I now have my Nikon D90, I still love that camera! It was the starting line for me and I will always remember that. So, thank you for the love and support!

Russell and Sherry are Engaged!

2009-09-29T23:20:00.003-04:00

Here are a few of my favorites from Russell and Sherry's engagement session. They recently got married last month and I will be posting some of my fav's from their day soon.

These two were so much fun and up for anything. Thank you for allowing me to capture the love you two share.

Model for a day... Shaun

2009-09-29T22:20:00.004-04:00

These next samples are from a shoot I did a few months back. I took these shots for Shaun to help him start his portfolio for auditions. Hopefully you'll see this face in movies one day.

A Mother's Love...

2009-09-28T20:02:00.005-04:00

Here's a shoot I did a couple of months ago. Susan and I go back to grammer school, after graduation we lost touch for a couple of years. She recently moved back to Florida and I had the pleasure of capturing the love she has for her baby girl Makenna. Let's just say they both should be in a Mommy and Baby magazine.

My First Blog...

2009-09-23T22:30:00.000-04:00

I was hoping to have my website up and going by now, but unfortunately it will have to be put on hold for a little while. I have some samples from recent shoots I will be working on posting here in the next couple of days. Bare with me, for I'm new at this. I look forward to this journey my camera is taking me on and hope you will follow as I begin to live my dream.

Thank you for all the support.
