Engagement Photography | Gainesville, FL

I had SO MUCH FUN doing this engagement session with C & J! They were kind enough to choose me to do their engagement photos, knowing full well that this was my very first engagement session.  I was so excited about the diner idea, I handmade the striped straws myself. :)  I am thrilled with the results and inspired to do more, more, more! The gorgeous Lake Alice was a costar in this engagement picnic<3

Family Photography | Daddy & Daughter Day

I had the pleasure of meeting this Daddy & Daughter duo at a local park for a beautiful and fun photo shoot. One thing is for certain... this girl has Daddy wrapped around her little finger. It's easy to see how, by the end of the shoot she had me, too! :)

Nature Photography | Crescent Beach, Florida

My family and I have been going to Crescent Beach since we moved to Florida when I was 7 years old. It's "our" beach. I remember sitting in the back of my Dad's beat-up pickup singing, "Lights" by Journey with my Uncle George at the top of our lungs.  My neon yellow walkman.  Driving out with high school friends and talking about our uncertain futures and reading Anais Nin outloud to eachother.  Or, the first time I took my own children there and their delight at chasing waves and clutching sandy shells in their hands.  Luckily, those who truly own this special place of mine:  the beautiful creatures themselves, let us bask in their beauty. Here's a few shots from a recent visit to our special place. Hope you enjoy them!

Family Photography | Sisters

Well, here it is! My first official blog update. I couldn't start with a more perfect shoot! These gorgeous shots of the Richardson sisters really inspired me to try new editing techniques. I felt the sister love, the Mommy love and the Auntie love all in one session!
