Shoot with Besanya downtown

Besanya is an aspiring singer, actress, and model... also totally down to earth and really fun to hang out with! She brought along her best friend and hairstylist, Michelle, and I did her makeup. We had a great time shooting at various spots in downtown Jacksonville (Memorial Park, Riverside, and Friendship Park). The weather was definitely not on our side, but in between rain drops, we managed to get some great shots... And I can't wait for her to get famous so I can say I was one of the first to shoot with her!

Ashley and Stewart's Engagement Party

I shot Ashley and Stewart's engagement party around two weeks ago, just finished editing the photos, and couldn't wait to put them up! It was a great day. First we met at Ashley's family's home to take some group shots, and then we headed to Cortesse's Bistro in St. Augustine for the party. I had never been there before but it was such a beautiful little restaurant with amazing food! Ashley, Stuart, and their families are all wonderful people and I had a blast shooting their party! Best of luck to both of you in the future... I know planning a wedding is stressful (I've been there) but the end result is SO worth it! And remember... check out the Casa Marina :)

Here's just a few of the pictures I took that day:

Cortesse's Bistro:

such a beautiful place...

and the food wasn't bad either...

Brenna, Kirsten, and Jessica

I shot Jessica and her 6 year old twin girls at Maclay Gardens in Tallahassee, FL. This was a fun shoot for me because I have known these girls since they were days old, (they are one of my best friend's nieces) We had a blast... till the kids got sick of it all, and that's when I brought out my secret weapon: giant lolly pops. I learned a long time ago, when shooting kids ALWAYS bring candy. Not only did it make the girls happy again, the candy made for some pretty cool props too. And the best part was when Brenna told me she now wants to be a photographer... pretty impressive because last week she wanted to be the president!

Sunrise shoot with Jordan

Anyone who knows me knows that I am not a morning person! However there is one thing that I will get up at the crack of dawn for, and that is great pictures! Jordan and I shot at Jax Beach near the pier, and then once we got rained out we moved to One Ocean. All in all, it was a great shoot... Jordan's an awesome model, and we got some beautiful pictures!
