Hi!
A little about me… I’m a small town girl who loves to travel and is a bit on the shy side. ;) That may be mostly due to the fact that I am a twin, and she was the talkative one growing up. But get to know me – and I’ll chat up a storm. I love talking photography and weddings, so give me a call and we’ll chat!
A little about my experience… I’ve been shooting weddings throughout Florida and the Southeast US since 2008. I am also a PPA Certified Professional Photographer.
Email or call me and we’ll chat!

My sister and her husband recently adopted a new dog. Rosa is a rescue from a local shelter, and one of the sweetest dogs I know. She’s a great addition to their family, even if she has more energy than she knows what to do with.
After a recent health scare with Bumble, it was even more important that we capture some images of her with her new sister.
Old lady. :)
My favorite pet image to-date. :)
Tiffany contacted me a while ago, she was interested in a few maternity images and a family session before their family went from three to four. I had a lot of fun hanging out with their daughter. She’s such a cutie!
Looking for “chipmunks” (aka squirrels):
My favorite from their session:
Tickles!
Little cutie!
Sunday afternoon weddings have a certain appeal to me. They are often laid back and have a more intimate feel. Amber & Kevin were married on a Sunday afternoon at The White Room in Saint Augustine, Florida. The ceremony was small and beautiful, while the reception was a great party with incredible food (french toast and bacon? yes please!). They even rented a horse and carriage to ride off in from the reception. To which, at Amber’s request, we rode around Saint Augustine for some portrait time with just the two of them. Stay tuned for a peek at those!
Amber’s maid of honor was her sister, Andrea, who’s wedding I shot in the spring of this year. Hi Andrea!

I’ve been a fan of the ladies at Southern Weddings since I learned about the blog and magazine they’ve created. It’s a fabulous resouce for southern brides, or brides who love southern style.
They just launched the redesigned Southern Weddings blog and it looks amazing. There are some great new features for brides, including Real Weddings and Resources which lists wedding vendors by location.
I am pleased to announce that I have an advertisement and Resource Listing on their new blog!
In honor of the new blog, and my listing on it, I’m offering 10% off all sessions and weddings booked between now and the end of the year! (must be booked by January 1, 2011 (signed contract), does not apply to sessions already booked) Help me celebrate and welcome the new blog!
Here are a few more from Ashley & Todd’s wedding in Tennesee. Enjoy!
Ashley, you’re gorgeous.
I loved the expression of the flower girls as they patiently waited for formal pictures to start.
Ashley and her family were so easy-going all day. They were such fun to be around.
The ring-bearer had the most beautiful blue eyes.
I love, love, love when the groom looks at the bride during the prayer. He can’t take his eyes off his beautiful bride.
