Adri and Rudy Pregnancy Announcement

Oh my gosh how Freaking cute are these two?? I MEAN.

Adrianne contacted me with a surprise :-) she wanted to announce to her friends and family that are not in town for her expecting arrival. I loved the idea, and I couldn't wait to photograph her and Rudy and I most defiantly can not waitto find out what she is having. They are going to be an amazing loving family and I cant wait to be part of it as a friend and capture the moments as a photographer.

We have a fun time at a local Gainesville park one morning trying to catch the sunrise (kinda missed it but still had a blast)

 



Tracy and David Engagement

A cute family, beautiful sunset, and sweet couple I could not have it any better.

Tracy and David are getting married next weekend on a family farm. Decorated in a classic rustic theme, this wedding is going to to be absolutely breath taking. Its going to be around sunset and if you follow me. You know I LOVE SUNSETS.

I drove up to Glen St Mary two weekends ago to do the engagement session. The kids were there so we got a couple  them and  got a tour what the place and a nearby river. So pretty.

I cant wait till next weekend. Here are just a few of the my favorites to get everyone by till then :-)

What to Wear for photos part one - couples and family

Its about time I post a "what to wear" blog post right? yep I thought so.

So this is part #1.
I will do another one for the ladies because it seems to be that the ladies are the ones that are really wanting to know what to wear. :-) (reason to shop? hehe)

I had a brilliant idea that I was going to use the site Polyvore to "simply" create a few outfits to show you and I would be done and be on my way. HA!!

There was waaaaaayyyyy to many options. GESH and to be honest I could only find a few mens clothes

SO, I did what anyone else would do . GOOGLE. found some that I liked and linked them back here.

*** these are just for suggestions and to give the visual people something to look at. :-) I know I like to see what things will look like and I know allot of others do too.
So of course with these you can change and put in your favorite colors and patterns. Have fun with it and just be the best of yourself.

I want to give a shout out to all the people that take the time to do these. Its hard and time consuming.

If you want to know more about the outfits click on the photos and it will take you to Polyvore :-)

Have a great weekend everyone

*** notice there are no LOUD patterns or logos (distracting)
*** notice there are no real baggy or to tight options (you want to look put together)
*** notice there are no thin stripes (will make you dizzy)
*** and notice that the colors coordinate but are not to matchy matchy. (the 90s called they want there all white shirts back)

mommy and me

I had the pleasure of hanging out with these two beauties for a mommy and me session portrait lifestyle session.

I've known Chrystie for years. We use to run in the same circles.... run in the same circles? who says that my grandpa?.. Anyways you know what I mean. :-)

But this was my first time meeting Audrey. And boy she is a lil cutie with great energy.

Again, thank you Chrystie for taking your time and hanging out with me for a little while. It was so much fun. I cant wait for our next session :-)

Here are are just a few from their session... more to come :-)

personal- These are a few of my favorite things

I have missed all you blog readers. I have been BUSY. In a good way.

Not all of you know that I work a full time job and run my photography business, so some weeks are a little crazier then others but I would not trade it in for the world.

I finally feel alive and awake for the first time in a long time (wellll, when I am not lacking sleep :-) and knowing that I started following my dream and stop putting it off at the right time.

So here's to a great start of the year and looking forward to the next couple of months to see where they take me :-)

And as always THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for your support in my small and growing business.

Here is a little instagram year in review AND just might happen to be a little preview of a page on my new site launching this weekend :-)

*this is still being tweeked but as Julie Andrews said " These are a few of my favorite things" :-)

Portrait Headshots

A while back I did a day of headshots mini session for local models in my area. Whoa!! Boy it was a long day. But man I had fun. I wish I alloted for the sessions to be longer so I could hang out with each one of them longer.

We meet in Downtown Gainesville and just had so much fun walking around and shooting.

I've been putting off the blog for 1) I've had next to know time to get it ready. and 2) since its not something I market to I didn't think anyone wanted to see them, but I can resist any longer. :-)

Here are a few from that day. I cant wait till next time I do these again.
