2011-10-27T16:39:00.000-04:00

Meet Shirley!

I had the most fun (!!!) hanging out with Shirley & her mom, Ms. Melinda! Both ladies were up for absolutely anything - so I had a blast trying all sorts of new ideas... As far as my favorite - I'd have to say, it's the black & white - hands down; I just adore it.

Shirley, you have the most amazing attitude towards life! Keep reaching for the stars & have a wonderful Senior year!!!

Highlights for Ms. Ciarra - Senior 2012!

2011-10-19T18:25:00.000-04:00

Meet Ciarra...

I had the pleasure of spending a beautiful morning with Ms. Ciarra. The weather couldn't have been prettier & we took full advantage of it - including getting in the river (although it wasn't very warm - we still enjoyed the shoot)!

My favorite image is #3 - it's just so dramatic & intense.

Have a wonderful Senior year, Ciarra!

Wedding Bells for Mollie & Dalton!!!

2011-10-10T14:54:00.001-04:00

Where the Love is...

This weekend, my best friend, Clarice helped throw a gorgeous wedding for her son Dalton & his beautiful bride Mollie. Every little detail was covered, from flowers & lights to lanterns & fireworks - not a stone was left unturned. Arriving in a horse-drawn carriage, Mollie was stunning in her vintage & lace gown - and Dalton, of course, was all smiles.

Amid sprinkles & storm clouds, we all watched as their two lives became one... and that's when it was obvious to everyone - that come rain or shine, it only matters where the love is & I think they found it.

Happy Honeymooning, Dalton & Mollie!

Highlights for the Robinson Family!!!

2011-09-28T12:18:00.001-04:00

Meet the Robinson's!

This afternoon was different from my normal routine: instead of photographing my clients, I had the honor of photographing my friends, the Robinsons. The weather was just beautiful & we took the opportunity to steal some very fun images! Images 5 & 6 are my favorites for two very different reasons. I love the expression in image #5 & image #6 just makes me laugh out loud!!!

Thank you, Jennifer, Ryan & Gage!!! I had so much fun.

Highlights for Ms. Brianna - Senior 2012!!!

2011-09-28T12:11:00.000-04:00

Meet Brianna...

I had the pleasure of spending the morning with Ms. Brianna & her mom! We had an amazing time shooting around Jacksonville & then back at the Studio. My favorite image is a toss up between the first and last images. The first one is just so vintage - I love it & the last one is so intense & dramatic... I can't choose!!!

Thanks Brianna for a wonderful session! I hope your Senior year is amazing!!!

Highlights for Mollie & Dalton's Engagement!

2011-09-22T17:23:00.000-04:00

Mollie & Dalton are getting MARRIED!!!!

I spent the morning with two very special people: Mollie & Dalton!

Their very special day is in less than a month and I cannot wait!

We spent some time at the barn, a beautiful dirt road & of course, the woods. In fact, image #3 & 4 are on a location the happy couple plans to build their home oneday. What a fantastic idea it was to shoot there - and would you have guessed it was the groom's idea?! Both of those images are my favorites, I just can't pick between them... so romantic & dreamy! Love it!

Highlights for Ms. Becky - Senior 2012

2011-09-22T17:15:00.000-04:00

I spent the afternoon with Ms. Becky for a fun & fabulous Senior session!

We had an amazing time creating awesome shots that really show off Becky's personality & pizzazz.

Highlights for Newborn Baby Harbor!

2011-09-15T18:10:00.000-04:00

Meet Baby Harbor!!!

I had the priviledge of meeting Baby Harbor at 11 days old!!! :-) She was just precious. Newborns are becoming a passion of mine - so tiny & perfect... I absolutely love dressing them up, posing them & finding the most beautiful way to show them off for their excited new mommies & daddies!

Stay tuned for more Newborns; I'm working on some new ideas!

Highlights for Zac - Senior 2012!

2011-09-14T14:44:00.001-04:00

Meet Zac - Senior 2012!!!

Well, well, well... What can I say about Zac? First of all, it's just saddening, maddening & sickening that he is a Senior!!! Truth is - I used to BABYSIT him when I was in highschool - don't bother to ask - I won't be telling you my age!

Seriously though, Zac is one of the funniest kids I know! I don't think a minute passed that Zac, his mom & dad or myself weren't cracking up with laughter!

You should also know that depending upon the day of the week - Zac's middle name changes from "Bruce Lee" to "John Wayne". Literally... that's what he had me type on one of his Senior Products :-)

Thanks Zac for all the laughs!!!! I hope your Senior year rocks!

Highlights for Ms. Sierra - SENIOR 2012!!!

2011-09-07T11:06:00.001-04:00

Meet Sierra - Senior 2012!

I had the pleasure of spending the entire day with Ms. Sierra! She has such a bubbly & fun personality - I think we laughed all day long. :-)

Although, I loved all the locations we chose - I couldn't help but display many more from our last stop at the beach. The weather couldn't have been more perfect - it was just beautiful. My favorite image, however, is the Rock Star black & white in front of the bike. I can't get over how cool & detailed it is!

Sierra, I had so much fun & I hope your Senior year is amazing!!!

Brandon - West Virginia Senior 2012!!!

2011-08-26T15:30:00.000-04:00

Meet Brandon!

I had the pleasure of photographing yet another out-of-state Senior! I absolutely love getting to know new people, learn about their lives & their hobbies... As you can see, Brandon loves to Bow-hunt and Skateboard. So, we spent the morning hitting many different spots that would really capture not only his personality but also his two fav interests!

To see all of Brandons portraits, take a look at his Music Video: http://video214.com/play/y5KItE7xvoMUY2sV0MJ5IQ/s/dark

Highlights for Sydney - Senior 2012!

2011-08-17T13:47:00.000-04:00

All the way from North Carolina...

This year, my Seniors have been coming from all over to share their Senior Experience with me! I have to say, this makes my job even more fun :-)

Sydney had so much spunk & pizazz! I just love the moodiness of the second image & the attitude of the last - it just has "Sydney" written all over it!!!

Thank you, Sydney!!! It was great meeting you & I'm so happy to have taken your portraits!

Ms. Hannah - My first International client!!!

2011-08-17T13:35:00.000-04:00

Highlights from Ms. Hannah's Senior Portrait Session!!!

Hannah came all the way from AFRICA to share her Senior Experience with me! I was completely flattered & humbled!

Of course, Hannah's passion is obvious - she loves horses & they love her. I absolutely love to watch people interact with animals - especially their very own; but in this instance Hannah's horse couldn't be present for even more obvious reasons. So we borrowed a few & they took right to her. Her poise & spirit drew the horses right in, as if she had known them forever.

For those of you who don't know me personally, I'm a horse fanatic also. I just love their smell, the feel of their hair & the gentleness of their power. The strength they contain yet so gingerly use is an amazing testimony to God's creativeness.

THANK YOU, HANNAH!!! I had sooo much fun; I wish you all the best life has to offer!

2011-04-30T13:58:00.000-04:00

The Bennett Family!

2011-04-13T17:50:00.000-04:00

What little boy doesn't love tractors & wheel-barrows? This little man certainly does! He decided not to pose with mom and dad for very long, but instead made his way to the dog in the front yard & laid down next to her! Then while shooting mom & dad - he picked up binoculars to mimick me - SO CUTE!!! I laughed hysterically & enjoyed the entire session!

Sneak Peek for Melissa!!!

2011-04-13T17:46:00.000-04:00

What a beautiful afternoon for Senior Portraits!!! We hit the studio & the tracks for an awesome session - and I am in love with her choice of prom dress & RED shoes! {Red is my fav color, by the way!} Such a vintage idea, I think it's just perfect for the tracks.

My favorite image is of both Morgan & Jordan - it has a "Johnny & June" quality about it that I just adore!!!

2010-11-22T13:01:00.001-05:00

Meet the Combs...

I spent the afternoon with the Combs Family capturing a beautiful Fall afternoon! Denise is a friend of mine from high school (been doing a lot of shoots for old high school friends lately! Years ago, I would have never imagined it!) I absolutely loved how comical & cute the kids were! My favorite image is the last one - I absolutely adore the fall colors in this pear orchard!!!

Sneak Peek for Jennifer, Jeff & the Boys!

2010-11-17T11:01:00.000-05:00

FALL is here!!!

I love Fall... it is my favorite time of year. Many people think Florida doesn't have a Fall - we do, it just looks different & I love everything about it. The colors are different, the weather is cooler & it just feels festive! I had the luxury of spending some quality, family portrait time with a friend of mine from highschool {Jennifer}. I could not have chosen better outfits myself - I absolutely love the colors she chose & the location was perfect... What can I say? I think this is my most favorite family session ever - do I have to pick a favorite image??? Well, if so - here's my most fave TWO: #3 & #5...

Oh, and by the way, when I shot #5 - I didn't realize they could not see their reflection - they thought I was crazy when I told them to look down at their reflections in the water!!! {That was until I showed them the image on camera!}

Sneak Peek for Cody!!!

2010-11-17T10:24:00.001-05:00

Meet Cody - 2011 Senior

I recently spent some In-Studio time with Cody & his mom, Ms. Angie. We laughed almost the entire time! My most favorite image is of # 4 - between the green shirt, class ring & Cody's eyes - this image just pops with color!

Cody & Ms. Angie, I hope you can hold out on your Facebook bet, maybe this Sneak Peek will help you out!

Meet Jeremy... Dirt Bike Dare Devil & Musician!

I spent the morning with Jeremy & his mom for an awesome, off-road, adventure! I was SO thrilled when they showed up with his dirt bike & it's my favorite color: Red!!! The bike wasn't the only great prop Jeremy brought - he also brought in his base guitar - sooooo cool! I absolutely could not wait to get these Senior images loaded on the computer so I could look through them all! My favorite image is the first one - there's so much to take in, from Jeremy on his bike, to the river & the concrete pillars...

Sometimes one picture says it all...

2010-11-08T16:00:00.000-05:00

They say a picture says a thousand words... and although I sneak peeked Baby Kendall's newborn session weeks ago - somehow, I missed this one. What can I say - she's just precious.

Sneak Peek for Ms. Vanessa!!!

2010-11-08T15:56:00.000-05:00

Meet Vanessa!

I had the pleasure of spending a rainy afternoon with Vanessa - Class of 2011 Senior! Believe it or not, I don't frown at drizzly weather & grey clouds - I think it adds a hint of unique detail my portraits don't normally take in.

We skirted the actual rain but made good use of a giant umbrella, the wet tracks & glistening rocks! I love image #3 & #4.

Robby & Becca are Married!!!

2010-11-04T16:40:00.000-04:00

I had the pleasure of spending the afternoon with Ms. Jessi & her mom! We had so much fun laughing & cutting up. The weather couldn't have been more beautiful, crisp & blue... And although, I'm normally partial to my blk/w images - I'm stuck on the last image - I just love the contrast of the cheer & softball - and Jessi gave a killer look in this one, too!

Sneak Peek for Ms. Brooke!!!

2010-10-21T14:59:00.000-04:00

Meet Ms. Brooke!

I had the pleasure of spending the afternoon with Ms. Brooke - Senior 2011! We had so much fun capturing an array of different images & soaking up the late afternoon sun!!! I loved her idea of using pictures in the first image to tell her life story. I have two favorite images (that's right - a tie!) for Brooke's sneak peek: #4 - I just love the warm sunlight bouncing off Brooke's shoulders & hair. And #5 - a really cool shot of the sunset casting huge shadows in our directions (this is zero flash - all natural sunlight) very, very different...

Brooke - I had so much fun! I hope you did, too!!!

Jessica & Daniel are married!!!

2010-10-21T14:54:00.001-04:00

JUST MARRIED!!!

Congratulations, Jessica & Daniel - on your wonderful marriage & quite possibly the most BEAUTIFUL & BREATHTAKING wedding I have ever been to!!!

The weather was perfect, the colors were vibrant & most of all - Love was in the air!!! Oh, & just for the record - my favorite image (out of the thousands I took on Saturday) is #5 - It just reminds me of a fairytale!!!

Sneak Peek for Baby Nate!!!

2010-10-10T15:14:00.000-04:00

Nate turns ONE!!!

And what better way than to celebrate with Reflections?! Baby Nate is such a flirt: batting those blue eyes and showing off those dimples!!! I enjoyed spending the morning following him around on his little adventure. And, of course, a toddler's session would never be complete without including a Lollipop Session... After all, who can say no to that little candy face???!

Sneak Peek for Haley!!!

As Trash-the-Dress gains more & more popularity with my Senior Girls - the girls are becoming more & more creative with their choice of locations!!! Haley & her mom, Ms. Rhonda, sought out the perfect fountain to finish up Haley's 'Model for a Day - Senior Experience'. I actually have 2 favorites in this sneak peek: Image #2 because it's SASSY & Image #3 because it's DRAMATIC!

Haley & Ms. Rhonda, I HAD SO MUCH FUN! I hope you did, too!!!

Sneak Peek for Derek!!!

2010-10-10T15:06:00.000-04:00

Meet Derek: Country Boy, Hunter & Senior - 2011!

I spent the afternoon with Derek. We shot a few images in studio & then headed outdoors to soak up a beautiful, sunny, October afternoon. My favorite image is the bow: I love the way the sun is bouncing off the top of his hat and the rim of the bow - looks like he's about to make the perfect shot!

Derek, I hope you had a blast! Enjoy your Senior year!

2010-10-10T15:01:00.000-04:00

Meet Tiffany... Class of 2011!

I had the pleasure of spending the afternoon with Ms. Tiffany. We had a wonderful time laughing, shooting & swapping stories of horseback riding & working at Vet Clinics! Although I am always partial to black & white portraits, my favorite image of Tiffany is the last one: beautiful, breathtaking sunlight beaming on one side, creating soft, cool shadows on the other! Love it!

Tiffany - hope you enjoyed your Senior Experience!

Sneak Peek for John!!!

2010-09-18T19:18:00.000-04:00

The Cowboy Way...

Meet John - Senior 2011. I had the pleasure of spending the afternoon with John shooting some serious Cowboy footage. My favorite image is the last one. Make no mistake, John is the real deal - in fact, as I type this blog - he's pulling draws for his next ride.

Ride safe, John - keep your eyes on the Goal, the Cross on your back & and your mind on the Cowboy Prayer...

Congratulations, Chelsea & Jeremy! I had a wonderful afternoon, I hope you did too!!!

Sneak Peek for Haiden, Garison & baby Kaia!

2010-08-21T18:32:00.000-04:00

All the little children...

I spent the morning chasing butterflies, lizards & lollipops with these 3 little ones! We had quite an adventure, filled with lots of laughter & a few tears... but lollipops always make it better! My favorite image of the boys is the first one (on the wagon) & the first one of baby Kaia.

Sneak Peek for Allison!!!

2010-08-21T17:47:00.000-04:00

Shut up & SWIM!

So... the secret's out! Allison's outdoor location was a POOL! And why not?!

First, we 'trashed' a beautiful, green prom gown (!!!) and then we took some incredibly, edgy & athletic shots! And yes, this is Florida - so the storms rolled in & we shot in the RAIN!!! All I can say is - this was one amazing shoot (oh, yeah - and there's only one way to get images like these & that will remain my little secret!)...

Sneak Peek for Libby!!!

2010-08-21T17:41:00.000-04:00

Meet Ms. Libby!

Had the pleasure of spending the morning with Libby - 2011 Senior! Libby chose an awesome Urban Experience! I have to say my favorite image is the 3rd one - so chic & sassy - although a close runner up is the sunglasses (fun!). Oh, and yes - that's a piano she's sitting on!!!

Sneak Peek for Alexis!!!

2010-08-21T17:37:00.001-04:00

Meet Ms. Alexis!

I spent the day with Alexis - Senior 2011! She brought along all her 'Anime' collection & we had so much fun incorporating it into her session! I loved her prom dress & the teal blue went perfect with several things in-studio! My most fav image is the last one - the graffiti reads: adventure - which I think is perfect for Ms. Alexis!

Sneak Peek for Ms. Jazmine!

Sneak Peek for Ms. Harlee!!!

2010-08-13T13:03:00.001-04:00

Sometimes, Rain Is A Good Thing!

...it can ruin a photo shoot, but when you're going to Trash-the-Dress, it can be wonderful!!! Meet Ms. Harlee... I spent the morning with Harlee and her mom, Ms. Debra. We had an amazing time at the Glen & lots of fun In-Studio, but little did we know what a shower was heading our way! What can I say?! It was definitely God's timing!!! I figured: what can it hurt? We're going to trash it anyways - might as well be crazy-awesome!!! {And if you ask me, Luke Bryan is right: Rain is a Good Thing!!!!!!!!!}

Harlee - I hope you had a blast - I sure did!!!
