Molly + Jeb.. amazing Naples weekend

Molly, Jeb and I all went to high school together.  Best school ever, Bolton High School in Alexandria, LA.. Class of '01.  Molly was the adorable Class President and Jeb, the school brain.  They didn't start dating until 6 years after high school!  Talk about re-uniting!  He was living in Houston, she's living in Orlando, and he ended up moving here for her!  Awww!  3 years later, he takes her on a surprise trip to St. Augustine and proposed!!  Double awwww!!  Imagine my excitement when I read that Molly wants to do an engagement session!!  I wanted to scream with pure joy.  Not only do I get to re-unite with my old classmates, but I get to have the honor of shooting their engagement session!!  I was even more excited when we made plans to go to Naples for the weekend and do the shoot!  Hello Naples vacation!!  We took sooo many pictures.. And they are so beautiful and super photogenic, nearly every single one of them turned out perfect.  We had so much fun, I didn't want to come home.  Molly & Jeb, anytime you wanna take another trip, let me know!!

We were brainstorming of ideas, and she mentioned they like to play chess.  I wanna say Jeb won one, and Molly won one..  right??  Or let's just say Molly won one.

How cute are they.. really.

Oh Molly, you are just precious.  PRECIOUS!

Perfect early morning.  Nice and cool, and the beach was gorgeous!

Precious, and STUNNING!!  Hello, Molly!!

Jeb, you are quite the hunk!

This is my American Eagle picture.  :)

Shanna + Wayne

This is one of the sweetest stories I've heard.  Shanna and Wayne met while playing an online game.  They talked and talked, and fell in love from a distance... get this, Wayne is from Australia!!  Complete with fun accent and everything.  So really, think of the obstacles they had to go through!  Only REAL, true love can survive that.  I believe that with all of my heart.  So he came here to visit a few times, and she went to visit him... They got engaged and eventually, he made the big move to America!  WOW, I mean, that takes guts!  Again, real love..  what he wouldn't do for Shanna!  It was a complete honor to do their wedding.  My favorite part of the day, watching Wayne and Shanna together, how they interact.. how he loves her and takes care of her.  Shanna & Wayne, congratulations on your marriage.  Really, from the bottom of my heart, I wish yall nothing but the very best.  : )

Erin + Pete 1940's Vintage shoot

I had the pleasure of second shooting an e-shoot with Basia Mille Photography.  It was awesome, to say the least.  A very cool, 1940's vintage military shoot.  Meet Erin and Pete.  Pete just got back from Iraq, and they came up with the idea for him to wear his uniform for half of the shoot.  And tell me, how perfect can this be??  They totally and completely look the part of a 1940's couple.  I told them that if I ever met them after that day, I would have no idea who they are because they are SO 40's!!  Totally loved this shoot.  Had so much fun the entire time, sweating and all... (gotta love Florida summers).  And I LOVE Erin & Pete, and how they love each other. 

Let me introduce to you, the BIG yellow balloon.

I don't do alot of pictures like this, but this totally reminded me of Pleasantville.

New referral bonus!

Because I have so many awesome brides and grooms who have told their engaged friends and family members about me, I wanted to say a special thank you. 

If you refer two couples to me, and the end up signing with me, you get either ONE FREE EXTRA HOUR at your wedding, or if your wedding has already past, or you're one of my family session clients, you get a FREE photo session of your choice.  This could be absolutely anything..  family shoot, trash the dress, boudoir, or just a session with you and your love. 

Just remember, they have to sign a contract with one of my wedding packages. 

Here's a sneak peek from the wedding Bryan and I shot over the weekend.  Will post more soon!

Thank you so much for all the awesome support from my beautiful friends, family and brides and grooms.  Yall are the best.  Much, much love!!

My shootsac is here!!

The day has finally come when I finally got a shootsac by Jessica Claire!  Let me tell you, this is going to make my life-- or when I shoot anyway-- sooo much easier.  No more painful shoulders from lugging around the heavy, clunky camera camera bag.  It's a light weight lens bag that lays flat on your body.  GENIUS!  And not only is it easier on my shoulders and back, IT'S BEAUTIFUL!  As a girly photographer, I hate carrying around boring black bags.  I can't wait to use it for my first time at the wedding this weekend!!
