Sara and Jeremy

When I met up with Sara and Jeremy they told me they wanted pictures done because the only professional pictures they had of themselves were from their wedding day. They wanted something more casual and something that was "them." I think we got that guys!!







Marcus and Jill

Navarre Wedding PhotographyWhen Marcus called me and asked me to photograph his wedding I knew right away I was going to like this couple! I mean, it's really rare that the guy (no offense Marcus) takes care of the photography plans! I knew right away that Jill was very laid back and easy going and I had yet to speak with her! When their wedding day arrived I found out very quickly that I was right! These two were absolutely sincere and beautiful. They had a small elegant ceremony in Navarre Beach surrounded by a few close friends and family members. The sky was a perfect backdrop for their ceremony and pictures! I hope you enjoy the sneak peak!

Amber's Family

I have had the the honor to meet so many families since spring break! I have not had the chance to post many of them because it's been so busy. I've finally got a good rhythm going (I think!) to posting blogs more regularly. This is Amber's family. As you can see it was VERY overcast. About an hour before the shoot I was on the phone with Amber saying.. it's raining everywhere, we can reschedule if you want. ( I always leave that decision to my clients.) Amber said, "Well, every one is already dressed. Do you think you could come and if it rains we will try again?" Know what it's like to go through the process of getting children dressed for pictures I said, "Sure!" I'm about 5 minutes from the beach and it's still sprinkling and I think to myself, "We really are going to have to reschedule." BUT.. God was (as always) good! The pictures turned out great..even despite it being overcast!! I had a wonderful time with the girls as well. Amber was even able to catch a crab that washed up on shore for the girls to laugh at as she dangled it over my head.. eeek! Enjoy!!!!!!!

Baby E!


A very proud Mommy and Daddy welcomed Baby E into the world very recently! I did Mommy's maternity portraits a few months before he arrived. (No.. I did not blog them. I unfortunately probably will never be caught up on all the shoots/weddings that need to be blogged!). Anyway.. I was super excited when Rosie contacted me to let me know that Baby E was here and that she would like me to take his first portraits. I can not tell you just how great he did. Not only was he awake the ENTIRE 2 hours that I was there.. he never fussed or cried. Not even a whimper! He smiled at us about 5 times too! I know 10 day old babies don't normally smile but he even rolled over from his back to his side several times...so he did REALLY smile (at least I think so... but I am a mommy too!!) :) Mom and Dad surely have an advanced little guy on their hands. I hope you all enjoy!







PS.. What do you think about the new border/logo design!? I love it and it's all thanks to my wonderful bride Kendra! She has been amazing!!

Nathan and Jessica - Sneak Peak!

I met up with Jessica and Nathan at Johnson Beach. Jessica had emailed me a few months back and like me, she and Nathan never had a "real" wedding. By real, I mean the big fancy dress with everyone we know invited for a huge celebration! They have been married almost a year and wanted photographs that captured this time of their lives. They were SO awesome. I think I might have asked them to kiss once.. the rest of the time they were all natural! The perfect couple for sure! Jessica and Nathan.. I hope you enjoy your sneak peak!!!

A few beach photos to share!

With so much going on recently the only things I have really been posting are weddings. I thought I would take a few minutes to post just a few of my recent beach shoots. I wish I could take the time to post every single shoot but I would not have time to do anything but blog for at least two weeks if I tried to do that! I hope you enjoy!!!
