Important Update!

2011-01-27T12:42:00.000-08:00

I would like to announce that I will be starting a Physician Assistant graduate program in May. As excited as I am to pursue medicine, my other passion, photography, will have to take the back burner. As of April 2011, I will not be accepting any more weddings. I will continue to take regular clients (family shoots/senior pictures/ect.) IF they take place in Jacksonville, FL. So please don't delay in scheduling a photo session with me!

Sneak Peak - Brittany & Daniel

2010-10-30T18:34:00.000-07:00

Here's a sample of the Simpson wedding - Enjoy! More to come =)

Photo Shoot: Jake and Jesse

2010-10-28T18:36:00.000-07:00

I thought this shoot with Jake and Jesse was a huge success! Great location, great lighting and great models to work with! I hope you guys enjoy the pictures cause I absolutely love them - especially these first two!

Wedding: Molly & Jason

2010-09-11T06:06:00.001-07:00

One word to sum up this wedding: fun! Molly and Jason are so laid back and really know how to have a good time. Molly blasted some music and would hardly stop dancing to get her makeup on....but luckly she had a team of sisters to keep her on track. The wedding took place at Fort Pickens in Pensacola, Fl and we got some great beach pictures as well. Enjoy!

Storyboard - Cade

2010-09-09T16:40:00.000-07:00

Check out the storyboard I made from Cade's shoot! I love it!

Family Shoot: The Tillmans

2010-09-05T18:42:00.001-07:00

I really enjoyed doing this shoot with the Tillman family. They cooperated with my every wish (like jumping a million times) and they made for great models! Of course it started pouring right in the middle of everything but we found cover and carried on. When life gives you rain, make cool pictures with the puddles =) I wish the very best for this family!

Photo Shoot: Cade

2010-08-21T11:02:00.000-07:00

Meet cute little Cade. The adorable, adventurous two year old who unfortunately is already a Gator fan. I wish I could charge extra for Florida fans.... But this photo shoot actually was the prize of a fund raising auction earlier this summer. The proceeds go to the Children's Home organization in Gainesville. I loved getting to spend time with you guys and I hope you enjoy the pictures!

Business Cards

2010-08-02T20:28:00.000-07:00

My business cards have finally arrived! I love their unique shape and my cute little key chain holder! I am soo excited and I can't wait to hand them out to random people at Starbucks and the grocery store. I am always tempted to do that when I see a cute kid =)

Brittany

2010-07-31T10:40:00.000-07:00

I took a few pictures of Brittany's engagement ring. It pretty much turned into an engagement session for her and Andrea... Looking forward to doing the wedding! ...of brittany and daniel that is.

Portrait Session - Kia

2010-07-28T07:00:00.000-07:00

Wedding: Charles & Vicki

2010-06-18T07:16:00.001-07:00

Welcome to Charles and Vicki's wedding! I have known these two for many years and to see them tie the knot and to be apart of it was awesome. The wedding was beautiful - on the water, hydrangea's at every table, incredible food, a limo to exit, etc. Hope you guys are enjoying your honeymoon!

Vacation

2010-06-09T10:26:00.001-07:00

I took a little trip to Dalton and Nashville last week to visit my sister's family and my good friends, Libby and Beth. I had soo much fun....and Libby and Beth pretty much convinced me to move to Nashvegas. I think it was their goal of the weekend.

Newborn Session: Jeremiah Green

2010-06-08T15:47:00.000-07:00

Intoducing baby Jeremiah Green. I love his little tummy and sweet face. He was an excellent model - although he doesn't seem to like being naked...he cried a lot until we clothed him. I think he was embarrassed. I hope you guys love these photos and love being parents!

Wedding: Gary & Erica

2010-05-31T10:00:00.001-07:00

Gary and Erica (or 'Garica') had a beautiful wedding last weekend in Tallahassee, Fl. I met these two in college and was so blessed to be a part of their day. It was obvious at the wedding that they were very in love.....the way they danced and looked at each other told it all. I hope you two are blessed beyond words in your marriage!

Engagement: Jason and Molly

2010-05-26T20:24:00.000-07:00

Here's a sample from Molly and Jason's engagement shoot. I loved the location (it's where I got engaged!) and I love this family! Little Aidan is still convinced that I keep candy in my camera...which isn't a bad idea. =) I hope you enjoy these pictures and I'm looking forward to the wedding in December! Molly and Jason are playful and fun and will make a beautiful bride and groom.

David, Logan and Nathan

2010-04-12T08:20:00.000-07:00

Meet Kristen and Josh and baby bump Cambell. I had the privilege of photographing their Jamaican wedding 3 summers ago and it's so fun to be apart of the next big stage in their lives - parenthood. =) I can't wait to meet little baby! And I know you guys are excited too!

2010-03-21T17:59:00.001-07:00

Here are some photos from Courtney and Brian's wedding. I loved shooting a wedding at my home church in Tarpon - First United Methodist.

2010-02-04T17:30:00.000-08:00

Kathleen and Adam had a beautiful wedding. With limos, multiple unique bands, and a delicious meal...it was not a wedding to miss. Kathleen was a very laid back bride and the whole day was relaxed and memorable. I hope you guys savor these pictures of your wonderful day.

Newborn shoot: Elsa

2010-01-27T14:26:00.000-08:00

Intoducing baby Elsa Rain. I did Savannah's maternity shoot a few months back and it's so exciting to finally meet the little bundle of joy. She is a beautiful baby and I'm glad we captured this stage before she grows and changes so fast.

Portrait Session: Sami

2010-01-26T21:50:00.000-08:00

Meet Sami - my friend and a soon to be college grad. We found some awesome places around Florida State for pictures and Sami laughs easily which made for a fun shoot! I hope you love your graduation pictures!

Aidan: Take 3!

2010-01-26T16:23:00.000-08:00

This is my 3rd photo shoot with little Aidan. It's so fun - I feel like I get to watch him grow up! We tricked him into looking at me by convincing him that I had his lollipop in my camera. He kept saying "Pop in camera". Well I had fun and I look forward to the next shoot!

Just for Fun: Java

2010-01-21T18:50:00.001-08:00

This is my cute little puppy Java. I love her, even though I am kind of allergic to her. That's all.

Portrait Session: Seth

2010-01-19T20:54:00.000-08:00

Meet adorable little Seth. He's the kind of kid that gives you kisses during the shoot and says thank you for taking his picture. I loved hanging out with him and I loved how the pictures turned out. Enjoy!

Family Shoot: Jones Family

2009-12-28T10:46:00.001-08:00

Here is the Jones family. When I showed up at their house, Autumn said "Addison is beautiful...and so am I." Soo adorable! And correct too! They were so cute and very good sports in the cold weather. Hope you guys are happy with them!

Family Shoot: Jake & Jesse

2009-12-28T10:30:00.000-08:00

Here is a sample from Jesse and Jake's mini-shoot. We barely squeezed it in before Christmas but I'm so glad we did. I've never seen a brother and sister be so nice to each other and it made shooting a breeze. Merry Christmas!

Portrait Session: Natalie

2009-12-28T10:24:00.001-08:00

Here's a sample from Natalie's shoot. I love the cool backgrounds we found! Thanks for being patient as we drove all over Lake City!

Taylor Boys

2009-12-28T10:04:00.000-08:00

Here is the Taylor shoot - Jacob, David, and Jonathon. These brothers definately know how to make each other laugh which made for a great shoot on this beautiful property in Valdosta. I hope you guys love the pictures. I loved taking them because I can't believe how grown up all of you are!

Portrait session: Zaelah

2009-12-07T12:15:00.001-08:00

Meet baby Zaelah. She's got the perfect little Gerber baby face and I loved taking her pictures! I love her big brown eyes that take in the world around her. I just want to keep her! I hope you guys like these pictures of beautiful baby Zaelah.

Cristi, Davy, Tanner, Jason & Jaxon

2009-12-01T17:40:00.000-08:00

Meet Cristi, and her two sons Jason and Jaxon, and Davy and his son Tanner. Cristi and I have been friends since middle school, but this was the first time I got to meet her family. The kids were so sweet and loving to each other. Jaxon managed to get wet from the waist down as soon as he got the chance in a nearby pool - He must have been so freezing! Overall it was a great shoot, and I'm so glad I got to know everyone!

Maternity Shoot: Savannah & Nathan

2009-12-01T17:20:00.001-08:00

Here's my first ever maternity shoot! I absolutely LOVED it! The sweet anticipation that Nathan and Savannah feel for baby Elsa Rain was so fun to photograph. Savannah is beautiful pregant...she makes it look easy. These have easily become some of my favorite pictures and I hope you feel the same!

The Morgan Family

2009-11-30T16:49:00.000-08:00

Here's a sample of the Morgan family shoot. I enjoyed working with you guys and I hope you enjoy the pictures!

Family Shoot: Holt Family

2009-10-28T07:54:00.000-07:00

I loved doing this shoot with the Holt family. Landon was so cute and did such a good job at smiling at the camera! I think his toy trains made it into every shot because they were his bribe for smiling. Sweet little Tyson only opened his eyes once during the whole shoot - to look at his nose! He went cross-eyed and it was so cute. He clearly wasn't ready to be woken up. I'm really happy with how these turned out and I hope you guys are too!

Wedding: Jesse & April

2009-10-20T15:02:00.000-07:00

April and Jesse had a beautiful destination wedding in Savannah, GA. Nobody could have expected the freezing cold weather that dropped in to join us....but it didn't take away from the day one bit! Jesse met April before the wedding for a special moment and a prayer with their pastor. Guests arrived to the ceremony in horse and buggy and were transported the same way to the reception. The bride and her father arrived that way as well, and the ceremony, despite being freezing, was beautiful, intimate, and full of emotion. I loved the violinist, the bridesmaid's dresses, and the four course meal at the reception! It was nice meeting you both and being part of your day. I hope you have a wonderful and blessed marriage!

Stuart Family

2009-10-20T06:35:00.000-07:00

This is the Stuart family. The kids were so adorable and sweet - and of course full of energy! Ethan had a black eye which made for some neat 'tough' shots, and Elijah was still recovering from a broken collarbone. Emma loved to get her pretty face in front of the camera and they all just had a great time exploring the park and being kids. Great shoot Stuart family!

Portrait shoot: Brandi

2009-09-26T08:41:00.000-07:00

Brandi was my other model for my makeshift studio. She didn't know a photo shoot was coming but I already had my shower curtain set up so I made her participate. She did well.....despite the gator attire...on such short notice =)

Portrait time: Ashley

2009-09-19T20:31:00.000-07:00

Ashley agreed to be my photo experiment for the day. I bought a reflector and I wanted to practice bouncing light for some portraits. I also set up my shower curtain outside to use as a white backdrop. My own little makeshift studio =) It turned out great - Thanks Ashley! I like how these turned out.

Wedding: Josh and Amanda

2009-09-14T10:23:00.001-07:00

Welcome to Amanda and Josh's Wedding! I can't believe only 2 months of planning produced such a beautiful and memorable wedding! Amanda and Josh are beautiful people - inside and out. They are close friends and I was so happy that I could be a vital part of their day. Amanda was calm and relaxed all day. There's a confidence that can be felt when a bride is sure of the love that's her's.

The wedding was intimate, outside at a gazebo on the lake. Amanda surprised everyone by arriving in style - horse and carriage with her father. The wrote their own vows, survived the heat (unlike some of the groomsmen =), and drove off in their 'just married' carriage. And the reception was great too. Good food, overlooking the water at sunset. I think the best part was speech time. Everyone could testify to their integrity, love for God and each other, and perfection as a couple. Amanda and Josh, I wish the best for you two!

Little Models: Noah, Avery, & Piper

2009-09-07T12:55:00.000-07:00

Noah asked his mom "What am I going to do today?" She reminded him that I was coming into town. "You'll go to preschool and then play with Whitney." At that he dramatically fell back onto the bed - "Oh no, we're going to have to take more pictures..." That's right, kid. When Aunt Whitney comes into town, it's picture time. Then when he got home from preschool Noah told me: "If you try to take pictures of me, I will run away." He obviously got over it and actually begged me to take more pictures of him by the end of my stay. Here's some of my favorites from the trip.

Wedding: Isaac and Renee

2009-07-11T07:52:00.000-07:00

Welcome to Renee and Isaac's wedding! Brooke Weglarz, the official photographer of the event, called me up and invited me on a road trip to Pennsylvania with her, to be her assistant. I knew I was absolutely crazy for driving 18 hrs (one way) with her, but we left the next day and had a blast! Our trip was complete with a temper-pedic mattress pad in the back of the car, twilight on audio to keep us entertained, a pit-stop in Virginia with friends, Amish people!....and then not to mention a beautiful, quaint wedding in the hills of Pennsylvania.

The wedding was small and intimate, everybody felt like family, and the stories told of how these two treat each other were very touching. On her wedding day, Renee awoke to a treasure map. She (and everyone else) had to solve the clues to find love notes Isaac had written her. They were hidden all over the yard. So thoughtful!

The wedding was also full of models, actors, professional dancers, and trainers - I couldn't believe that I was the one who got to capture them! Isaac and Renee are beautiful people, yet they love each other humbly and gratefully. I feel so privileged to have been a part of this wedding.

Engagement: Amanda and Josh

2009-07-08T19:15:00.001-07:00

Alright, I've decided it's time to be more personal. Usually I just post my pictures for everyone's enjoyment but I suppose it's time to give some details of the shoot and the people in them. =)

This engagement session was spur of the moment and very short, but with two people in love, it's not hard to capture it. Amanda has been a long time friend since high school and I've only gotten to recently know Josh. I am so excited for their relationship and soon-to-be marriage! Everytime Josh gets the chance (and he makes his own chances too...) he reminds everyone of how in love with Amanda he is. It's really cute and inspiring. I hope you guys like these. It was so good to see you!
