Olivia and Devin - Family Portrait

FINALLY!! :-)

Olivia asked me, what seems like FOREVER ago, to take family photos of her, Devin and the kids.
After a few re-schedules we were able to do a mini session and just in time for the Holidays.

Now that the christmas cards are out (didnt want to ruin it for everyone) I can show off a few of my favorites.

Hillary and Jake- engagement

Guess who is getting married soon!! I cant wait for their New Years Day wedding. Its going to be so much fun!

I meet Hillary at Olivia and Devin's wedding. She was a beautiful brides maid and then I had the pleasure of meeting Jake at our engagement session a few weekends ago.
There two are so fun to photograph (nothing but smiles and laughter, my favorite) and I cant wait to photograph them again.

Here are a few of my favorites from the engagement session.

Favorite food friday- something smells fishy

A Favorite Food Friday is long over due.

This week not once, but twice, I have had baked fish. Once Salmon and once Cod but both cooked the same.

1 fish fillet
Parmesan cheese
salt
broccoli
Cheddar cheese
mango salsa


I coated the fish with the Parmesan cheese, sprinkled with salt and baked on 350 for about 15 to 20. I don't time it. I just went by look and texture.
at the same time that was cooking I boiled broccoli and topped with cheddar cheese
once done I topped my fish with mango salsa.

*I made the mango salsa my self. I just used a can of pre flavored tomatoes (green chili) in the can goods section and added mango. I would have preferred mango chutney but didn't have enough mango. still tasted great though. hints having it twice in a week.

Crystal - Lake City Portrait Photography

Crystal and I started talking about a portrait session months ago. FINALLY we were able to get a set date and have some fun.

Originally it was going to be her and her boyfriend Wesley. But after a post pone, and him leaving for work out of the country, we decided to have a just Crystal only session. I will bet a xmas present that he wishes he was with us because look how beautiful she looks.

Crystal was a trooper, working all night, waking up and waking up rushing to get ready. Then we had to trampler through a cotton field. (FYI, its allot harder to walk through then it looks. It hurts) While racing the sunset. literally.
But shes a rock start and a super model in the making.

Here are some of my favorites. We went for a model esk look and of course I cant re-frame from adding a few silly ones.  Enjoy

Mia- 9 MONTHS!!- Gainesville Florida Family Photography

Guess who is already 9 MONTHS? or how I like to say '36 weeks' (inside joke)!!!

Sweet widdle Mia!!!

And since her 9 months fell right before Halloween, we tuffed it out and did her session at the pumpkin patch.

We braved the crowd and got some really cute ones. Here are a few of my favorite.

Olivia and Devin - Alachua Wedding Photography

Look at these two!! LOVE them.

Devin is literately like a brother. He is one of my only cousins and the only one that grew up in the same area. We grew up running around the farm basically from the time we could run around. :-) How we didn't get in trouble or hurt ourselves I will never know.

Last weekend him and his sweet bride Olivia tied the knot. Libby is a kind soul with a sweet smile. Her carefree personality hits right in with our family. And to be honest I kind of hate her. I mean really I dream about having eyebrows that perfect and she's got them. :-)

I wasn't the photographer for their wedding, MB photography was, but man, I couldn't help myself. Photographers are always photographers. Everything was beautiful and I am so gratefully that Libby said I can take some.

I still have allot to go through and might add a few more soon. But here are some of my favorite so far.

 

 

Could you not ask for more of a gorgeous bridal party. And can I mention how fun and sweet each one of these girls are!!!

WORK IT GIRLS!!!

And look how nice the guys clean up!!

 

 

 

 

  THE FIRST LOOK!!!!!! Can I take a minute to say how much I LOVE first looks. You can not get reactions like this in a church.
