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!

Are you graduating from college?
Well, congratulations!
Before you leave your fun college town and start your new life somewhere else, why not have a Graduation Session? It can be a session with just you alone, or we can have it with a group of your closest friends – to commemorate your friendship and the close bond you generated through late-night study sessions and commiserating about classes together. ;) You don’t want to leave this phase of your life without documenting this monumental achievement. Let’s go take some pictures!
Sessions start at $300. Please contact me for more information.

I originally met Amanda through my sister. I walked in to Jodi’s office one day to talk with her about her upcoming wedding and Amanda was quickly absorbed into our conversation. I remember we talked about her super sweet boyfriend, and she showed me his picture. As we talked about Jodi’s wedding and details we were planning, she offered her stylish thoughts and advice. And that she is. Very stylish. I loved the thought she put into their engagement session. I wish I could pull off accessories as amazing as the big orange flower in her hair. Love it!
Amanda & Alex are one of the sweetest couples I know. I am so excited for their wedding!

All four of these lovely ladies graduated from the University of Florida this spring with graduate degrees. To commemorate the occasion, and their friendship, before they move to different areas of the country and on with their lives (*sniff*sniff*) they wanted to do a graduation session together. I’ve gotten to know these ladies for various reasons and they are some of the sweetest people I know. I had such a great time with them that evening, I stayed with them and shot much later than I’d planned. We were having that much fun!
We started at the University of Florida football stadium – The Swamp!
We had to include Albert and Alberta!
We had to stop for some Mochi to re-fuel before finishing up downtown.
You may recognize Katelyn from the blog (third from the left). Her wedding was last August and her sister, Abigail’s wedding was just last month!
And… I’m still too excited… Amanda (far left) just got engaged last night!! Congrats Amanda and Alex I’m so happy for you!
