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!

Jodi and James welcomed Ava Marie into the world over the weekend! She arrived New Year’s Eve and was the last baby born in 2011 in that hospital. I’m so honored to have been there to photograph the birth and help welcome her into the world. I wanted to share a few of my favorites from her maternity session from a few weeks ago. :)
And here’s one of my favorite mini human:

April 2010 I had the honor of capturing one of the sweetest weddings, between two people completely devoted to each other. Caitlin & Mike were married at the Sweetwater Branch Inn, in a beautiful outdoor ceremony. (Here’s an image from their wedding ;)
I was so happy to hear from Caitlin a few months ago, that she was pregnant and wanted me to capture her newborn when he was born. I had fun spending a little time with them and baby Jonah at the newborn session. Caitlin & Mike are wonderful parents, and Jonah is so lucky to have them as his Mom & Dad. :) Here are a few of my favorites:
Merry Christmas!December 23rd, 2011Pin itHere in Florida, it’s currently 75° with a projected high of 80°. It doesn’t really feel like Christmas to me. I love being snuggled up by a fire with my hubby during the holidays. While I am thankful that we don’t have to worry about dealing with snow and ice, a little chill in [...] |
Here in Florida, it’s currently 75° with a projected high of 80°. It doesn’t really feel like Christmas to me. I love being snuggled up by a fire with my hubby during the holidays. While I am thankful that we don’t have to worry about dealing with snow and ice, a little chill in the air would be nice. Either way, I’m going to enjoy a few days of celebrating the holidays with my family and in-laws. I hope you have a Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday with your friends and family this year – where ever you are, whatever the temperature! :)
Here are the holiday cards that we sent out to our friends and family:
And here is the front and back of the cards that went out to past and current clients. These had a hole at the top with a ribbon so they hang on the tree as ornaments. Chevrons are big right now, and I couldn’t resist using them on both cards. :)

When I saw on twitter that friends of mine had adopted their newborn daughter I was beyond happy and excited for them! I was even more thrilled when they asked me to photograph her newborn session for them. Aletha Rose has to be the sweetest, most mellow, newborn that I’ve met to date. She was such a happy (and then sleepy ;) baby throughout the entire session. A.J. & Ryan, Congratulations again!
