Katlyn is no stranger to my blog! She is a LONG time friend of mine and I have loved having the opportunity to take her family’s photos! Her husband, Clint, is a Marine and is currently on active duty. Their little boy, Cy, was in a great mood! I just loved this session. Katlyn put a lot of work into the room we used and it shows. I love how this session is real life and candid, just like the family would be on a regular day. Katlyn is definitely ready for Raef to arrive and I’m sure I’ll share some pictures of him as soon as he arrives… be on the lookout for those! Katlyn, thanks so much for giving me the opportunity! Below are some of my favorites… check them out!

Cy is incredibly cute.

I love the images below… and when I say love I mean LOVE!!!!

Meet Arianna and Alivia! My girlfriend’s close family friends, the Ramirez family, got devastating news this past July. Five-year-old Arianna had relapsed. She has a rare, terminal cancer called ATRT. Ultimately we know God holds her precious little life in His hands and we are trusting in His plan. They are an incredible family and have been a blessing to many people. It was so much fun taking pictures of these two little girls. They are hilarious and so much fun to be around. Below are a few of my favorites…

Me and my Gorgeous Girlfriend had to get a picture!

Melissa – North Florida Bridal Photographer

Often times my family gets the shaft when it comes to blogging their sessions. My beautiful Cousin Melissa had a Bridal portrait session with me shortly after she got married. I decided I would take some time out to blog her session… from a long time ago… But, the pictures are gorgeous and they deserve to be displayed. Melissa’s dress was stunning and I loved any chance I got to photograph her in the dress. Melissa is truly like a sister to me, and I love her very much! Melissa, you are gorgeous! Below are a few of my favorites…

The single Red Rose is VERY significant. Melissa’s Mother, and my Aunt had a wedding picture taken exactly like this one…

I just love it when my clients come to me time and time again. I love their loyalty and they are a great family to photograph. Not to mention, Little Jamison is one of the cutest kids ever… and he makes my job quite easy! Leslie, Thanks for giving my the opportunity! Your family is precious and I love capturing your memories! Below are a few of my favorites…

At first glance it probably looks like I’m great with kids…

I really can’t say enough about this AMAZING couple. I pretty much love them to death and enjoyed every second of shooting their gorgeous wedding! Blake & Meredith are so in love and the team and I loved hanging out with them on their big day. I LOVE it when a bride and groom truly become friends by the time the wedding is over…its such a cool part of my job, one that I don’t take for granted. Meredith did a fantastic job planning everything and it worked out perfectly! Blake & Meredith, I can’t thank you enough for letting me share in your lives! We need to plan that Dinner Date asap… Below are just a few of my favorites. Check them out…

I LOVED this idea. The Reception was held at the church and instead of random framed pictures the church had up they used 20×30 Prints from their engagement session with me…. Needless to say… I LOVED seeing those shots hung on the walls.

The First Look was incredibly cute…. I loved it… Such Genuine and Happy Reactions.

Such a fun wedding party…

CONGRATS!

I loved having the opportunity to photograph Josh, Jenny, Ben & Sarabeth!
