Styled Portrait/wedding session - Gainesville Florida

I had the opportunity to photograph Ann a few weekends ago for part of a styled "bridal" session.
She's gorgeous and has hidden talent to be a model... no joke. she rocked it. Even in hurricane winds :-)

I've known Ann for.... a long time. Lets just say back in our wild and woolly days. I'm so glad she came and modeled for me because I had so much fun photographing her and my little styled shoot that I put together and meeting her better half Mark.

My vision was classic mixed with old. When I first laid eyes on these old Glass bottles I HAD TO HAVE THEM.. So thanks to my sister and a trip to the antique mall, my little vision came together.

Here are a few of my favorites..

Josi and Bucky - Gainesville lifestyle portrait photographer

How stinking cute are these two? I loved spending the morning with them on that cold rainy day. We planned on have a early morning sunrise session in a field down the road from their house. Mother nature had other plans. But rain or shine we still meet early one Sunday morning and we just kept the session at there house.

Here are just a few of my favorites to tell the story of our rainy day walk in the wood and of course what everyone wants to see... THE PILLOW FIGHT!!

note to self: I want a bed of feathers to lay in... soooooo soft.

Weinbrecht/ Hodges - Gainesville Family portrait

I love this family!!!

I have known Brooke since High School. We actually didn't go to the same school but we hung out with allot of the same friends. (neighboring towns)
That was many moons ago with ALLOT of stories to tell. Now Brooke is a Beautiful wife and mother.

MAN time flies.

Lee and Landon are two of the sweetest cutest kids ever... And Matt is the calm to Brooke's storm.

I cant wait to see what the next 12 years holds for them and our little group.

I am so glad that I finally got them in front of my camera for a mini session. These guys no how to ham it up and I LOVE IT!!!

Update and sneak peek

Hello Everyone,

A blog post is long over due, and I wanted to at least put a little something on here for the time being.

I will be blogging 2 sessions over the next week or so AND A WEDDING by the end of the month.

This is my first blog in 2013. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Slowly but surely my little business is getting up and going. My website will be done soon. I have a few sessions scheduled and coming up that I cant wait for and of course I will be blogging them. AND WEDDINGS. YAY!! I love wedding. I cant even tell you how amazing it feels when I get wedding inquires. I get a smile that last all day. If I could hug the brides that email me about them I could. I would love to capture the story of every ones big day if I could. LOVE THEM.

Speaking of wedding. I had a wedding on new years day. And since every post is prettier with a photo. There is a a sneak peek from Hillary and Jakes wedding... Be jealous ladies, those are her real eye leashes.

If you know me personally, then you know some of the heartbreak that has fell upon my family and friends recently. So this new years is dedicated to Sweet Holly. She left us way to early and was full of dreams and hopes. 2013 will be a year that I do not let my dreams and hopes stand on the side lines and and not let them pass by.

Olivia and Devin - Family Portrait

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.

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.
