Kaydence Noelle

I just had to share a picture that I took this morning of my little girl! She is no longer my little baby as several family members and friends pointed out today. Some of which haven't seen her since she was just starting to crawl! They said they couldn't believe how grown she looked. She amazes me more and more everyday! She is most definitely my world!!!
This one was just too funny!

D.C. Sunday Shoot- Brad and Katie

I had the privilege to photograph not one, but TWO couples while in D.C. I really had the time of my life and it's always nice to be able to meet with your couples before the wedding day! That way you know if you "mesh" well as I like to say and we totally do! We hit a few of the same areas that I had the day before and then went over to the Capitol for the end of the shoot. I remember making the comment to Katie and Brad that day that the two shoots that weekend were completely different and boy was I right! You can really tell that Katie and Brad would stay wrapped up in each others arms all the time if they could! We got along so well and I'm excited about their wedding in September!! Don't forget to take a look at their slideshow!

D.C Saturday Shoot- Nicholas and Melissa

I had and amazing time in Washington D.C. the weekend before last. I flew in Saturday morning at about 11 and by 12:30 I had already met up with Melissa and Nicholas. Melissa and I knew even before this trip that we were going to become fast friends and we were right! We started off in the city and visited almost every monument. It was the last weekend of the Cherry Blossom Festival so it was a little difficult to keep people out of the pictures!! Nick had said he was going to be the third wheel with Melissa and I but I think we managed to avoid all the "girly" stuff we could have talked about! We even made a friend who I now call Mr. Squirrel. It was so cute.. I just wish he had bread or something to give him. He would have come much closer than he did!After walking all around the city we decided to go to "The Old Town" in Alexandria. What an amazingly beautiful town that was! We got more great shots and ate at a Thai restaurant for lunch. The we went back to the hotel to freshen up before we went out for another shoot. I really wanted to get some shots with the monuments lit up behind them and they turned out great! There are a ton of pictures that I could post so here are just a few for the blog. Make sure to watch the slideshow and stay tuned! D.C. Shoot #2 is coming soon!

Michelle and Roger- Pensacola, FL

Pensacola & Destin Wedding Photography
Michelle and Roger were married on April 5th. I knew from shooting their engagement session a few months before that this couple had something very special! Their wedding definitely confirmed that! The are so full of energy and love..it just radiates from them. I honestly think they could make a couple married for 50 years jealous!! For those of you local to the area you know what Florida weather is like! The morning of their wedding it is pouring down rain! A few times I almost called Michelle to see how things were going but I decided that I would wait. If something wasn't going right I was pretty sure she would call me. When I arrived at the beach house it was only misting a little bit. They had decided earlier that morning to set up the ceremony inside the beach house. It was beautiful! Even though it was very overcast and cloudy, it stopped raining and we were able to take pictures out on the beach! As we went out for out a night session Michelle and I start talking about some photos I have in my portfolio of a couple in the water. She turns to Roger and says, "Let's do it!" Roger looks at her as if he can't believe she is serious and asks, "What about your dress?" To which Michelle replied, "I won't even wear it again!" So we got some great shots of the two of them in the very COLD ocean. It may be April but the ocean is still pretty cold. I have a ton of favorite shots of their wedding. Here are just a few. Make sure you take a look at their slideshow and let me know what you think!

Chris and Ashley- Seacrest Beach, FL

On March 29, 2008 Ashley and Chris were married. They chose a beautiful church in Santa Rosa Beach and then the reception was held at The Lagoon at Seacrest. They traveled all the way from Georgia with almost 90 guests for the celebration! Can you believe that?! 90!! They are the sweetest couple and so are their families. I almost felt as if I was a family member! Thank you Chris and Ashley for choosing me as your wedding photographer!
















My New Haircut!

I have been debating for weeks what to do with my hair and then I got the bright idea to maybe get bangs. I have not had them since I was probably 4 years old! I kept asking everyone's opinion and got mixed responses. Some said the longer side bangs and a few said the short feathery bangs. Well, I finally took the plunge and I couldn't be happier with the results!

Engagement and Baby.. Two great things!!

So I really do prefer to post individual blogs for my sittings but since I am still behind I am combining again so that all of you do not have to try and catch up on several blogs at once.
I recently had a wonderful engagement shoot with Brandi and Tim. What a couple!! As much fun as we had doing their engagement shoot.. I know it's going to make for a really fun wedding!!






Now on to baby Chandler! My friend Alison called me to shoot his 6 month portraits and I am embarrassed to say that this is the first time I have seen him besides in pictures! Mine and Alison's schedules are just total opposites so it makes it a bit hard to get together. However, just take a look at the slideshow below. Chandler aka "Chas" is just the cutest little boy and is SO happy!!



Now stay tuned because I have a wedding to update with later tonight!!!
