Hello World

When clients contact me about maternity and newborn sessions they are always shocked to hear that I also offer birthing sessions. Now, I LOVE all different types of photography but I have special passion for getting a chance to capture the first look, the first touch, the first seconds that a child comes into the world (I am getting goosebumps just typing it). Just imagine being able to capture the beautiful process of it all. From the first contraction to the last push-it is a great story that can be captured so perfectly. Here is a birthing session that was very dear to me. I have photographed this couple since they were engaged to be married. I was honored to be there on the day that they became parents as well.

Downtown style with Jolene & Milo

Could you imagine having a wedding shoot with no wedding day pressure, no time constraints, and no family portraits? Imagine it is just you and the man of your dreams. Well last week I got to do just that when I met up with Jolene & Milo to do a styled shoot in downtown Orlando. They got married in March of this year but were more than willing to get dressed up and do it all over again. There was no rushing around or time constraints. It was so nice to try some new things and just have some fun. We were only interrupted (quit a few times) by cars passing and honking, or hollering congrats to the newly weds, and one guy even offered to buy shots when we were done! That usually doesn't happen on my side on the wedding day! We ended up taking over 400 shots and I had a lot of trouble deciding on my favorite ones. Here is a sneak peek at our day. Enjoy!

Mathew's Wedding

Wedding bells were ringing for Serena & Mitchell's wedding at Mystic Dunes Resort & Golf Club. The beautiful green, black, and ivory colors were absolutely gorgeous. It is so nice to see a couple who was willing to try something new and have such bold colors in their wedding. Our favorite part of the wedding was when Mitchell (the groom) stole the mic and started RAPPING to his new wife! They are such a fun couple and we had so much fun capturing one of the most important days in their lives. We wish you many years of happiness!
