Annie and Juan, married in St. Augustine, Florida

The weather was lovely in beautiful St. Augustine, Florida. Just a 10% chance of rain. And yet somehow, the tiny 10% hovered over us for the better part of the day, soaking the city through and through. But the persistent rain didn't even come close to dampening Annie and Juan's spirits on what turned out to be a magical and magnificent wedding day.





Their wedding ceremony took place at the beautiful Cathedral Basilica of St. Augustine


Annie and Juan were so excited about portraits that they planned for two and a half hours of portrait time!










The reception was held at the beautiful White Room.







The wedding was coordinated Blush by Brandee Gaar and her fine team and they did a flawless job.

Thanks so much, Annie and Juan, for being so much fun despite the challenging conditions. You guys did amazingly well! We wish you all the best and we hope you're having a fantastic time in Sicily on your honeymoon.

Megan and Brad's e-session in beautiful St. Augustine

I've always believed that we truly have the most amazing clients, and when I met Megan and Brad for the first time a couple weeks ago in St. Augustine they did nothing but prove me right.

















Thanks so much, guys! I had so much fun with you and I can't wait for your big day in May.

Jonathan, high school senior

I think the fall is my favorite time of year. I enjoy the change in weather and I enjoy the pre-holiday rush. And I enjoy photographing high school seniors. Jonathan's senior session was a blast!

These music shots were so much fun! And let me tell you, the kid can wail on the guitar!
















Thanks, Jonathan, you did great! Best wishes on a fantastic senior year.

Heather and Rob's Charleston, SC, engagement session

There are not very many places that I enjoy photographing at more than Charleston, South Carolina. So I was super-excited for Heather and Rob's e-session recently.













Thanks so much, guys. You did great! Can't wait for your wedding in just a few short weeks!

Isabella in Atlanta

I recently had the opportunity to teach at a small portrait workshop in Atlanta. For two days, the mornings were dedicated to lectures and the afternoons were slotted for hands-on practice. I was fortunate to have a great little model, Isabella.











As I was photographing her I said, "Bella, you're beautiful," and she looked over at her mom and then back at me and said with confidence, "Beautiful on the inside AND out!"

Thanks, Bella, you did great!

Mitchell and Blythe

It's easy to take family for granted. That is until they move 600 miles away. We enjoyed visiting my brother's family just outside of Chicago in August. For quite some time they had been asking for portraits of their children, and so we "scheduled a session" with Mitchell and Blythe. Little Brynley was too small to participate in an outdoor session. Hopefully we'll have some pictures of her to show around the holidays.



Blythe had just celebrated her second birthday that week, so the shoot was supposed to be about her.


But Mitchell was too much of a ham to let her have the spotlight.






The birthday girl, not to be outdone by her older brother....hahahaha. I think she got that pose from her father.

Samira, high school senior

I had so much fun working with Samira and her mom. Samira had a great vision for what she wanted her senior portraits to be.









Thanks again, Samira, you did great! We wish you all the best for a fantastic senior year!
