These two boys. Heart Melting! Sweet baby Austin hit his 6-month milestone and was sitting up so well, just a very content little man. And his big brother Caleb was amazing! I thought this 2-year old would definitely add some challenge to the session (because, two year old) but he was so excited to be a part of the shoot and followed …
I’ve had the pleasure of working with this family since the first bun was in the oven. It’s always such a privilege to watch as life unfolds and to be able to capture the growth of a family. With a second child, everyone is “expecting,” even if the younger sibling isn’t quite sure yet what that means! Our second was born …
I love this sweet family session on Merritt Island shot a couple months ago. I normally get things on the blog sooner but I realized this week that I missed this one! A family of three is always so precious and preschoolers are my absolute favorite so I knew it would be fun. This little lady needed some warming up …
Over spring break, Dana and I took the kids to a super fun “family camp” hosted by St. Augustine Young Life at Carolina Point (a Young Life property in NC.) I wanted to post the experience just for fun but also to spread the word about these wonderful retreats Young Life offers for families. Most of the time, a “camp” planned …
I had the fun opportunity to photograph a recent Bethany Hamilton, Soul Surfer Event in Melbourne Fl for Coastal Community School. The day started with a VIP time, where guests had the opportunity to chat with Bethany, receive autographs and of course photos. Following that was the main event with MC Jamie Tworkowski (To Write Love On Her Arms) interviewing …
I had the pleasure of photographing the Grand Slam Adoption event again this year for Kate Upton and Justin Verlander. The event was held in Melbourne last year but the 2016 festivities took place in Lakeland at the Detroit Tigers spring training stadium. In partnership with Wins for Warriors, K9s for Warriors and SPCA Florida, the fun, family-friendly event raises awareness …
Have you been thinking about updating your current headshot for business? A professional portrait can make all the difference whether you’re presenting yourself to potential employers, building your brand or connecting with clients. Just scan Linkedin and you’ll see the stark contrast between people who have invested in a quality photograph, and those who haven’t. As a professional photographer, I’ve …
Little Emmie turned 8 months recently (my favorite age!) so it was time to update her first-year portraits. We shot this session on the coldest day ever in Florida (in my opinion,) but tried to stay out of the wind and keep these kiddos warm! I always include a few family shots in the baby sessions if it’s something they …
Since moving to St. Augustine, I’ve been excited to get the Conquer Your Camera workshop started here. I can’t believe it’s been six years since this workshop began in Melbourne! I’ve really enjoyed teaching the class over the years, meeting so many great people and also making improvements to the workshop every chance I get. Last year, with my family …
I recently photographed business headshots for The Focus Group in St. Augustine, Florida. While the staff actually live all over the country, they were together for a few days of meetings here. During one of these times, I set up a portable studio on-site so that no one would miss more than ten minutes of the evening’s events. Prior to the …
I photographed this cute family early in January at their home on Merritt Island. They actually live on their own little island which is pretty amazing. We had some bad weather but decided to go ahead with the shoot since there was a covered porch available and I wouldn’t be back in town for a bit. Then Tara completely surprised …
I photographed this mother and son session on Vilano beach just before Christmas. What a sweet time for this family in their new St. Augustine home for the holidays and while Holdyn had a break from school. Vilano is so gorgeous too, a beautiful night!
This was my second year capturing family holiday photos for the Laylands. They’ve been good friends of ours for a long time so it’s been fun living closer since we moved. We shot this quick session on St. Augustine beach a couple weeks before Christmas. Cloudy skies at the beach are my favorite!
I’m finishing up the series of three commercial posts today with some architectural photography of a new school in Palm Bay, Pineapple Cove Classical Academy. I’ve been doing a bit more commercial work since moving, including both commercial and residential real estate. High Mark School Development asked me to produce these images for their marketing purposes but also for the school …
Happy Monday! I’m posting the 2nd in a series of 3 commercial photography shoots today. This project was a little different from the marketing and advertising angle which usually comprises commercial work. Sometimes, like my work with the UCF College of Medicine, a client simply needs event coverage. While these images might not be used for standard advertising, they are …
I don’t always post my commercial work to the blog so I thought over the next few days I’d share a few images from some recent shoots. I really enjoy mixing commercial and marketing jobs into my portrait photography because it’s such a change of pace. For me, that kind of change really ignites creativity for my work as a …
I’ve known this family for a long time so it was extra special to capture their extended family portraits again. Last time we did this I think we were short a couple grandchildren! I love the clothing colors too! In addition to the big group, we captured all the individual families as well as grandparents with grandchildren, all the girls and mom …
Every year I start out with a handful of posts that I just couldn’t get on the blog before the end of December. The holidays always take me by surprise and leave the blog in the dust! So today I finally get to share an extended family session photographed just after Thanksgiving in Melbourne. I’m always impressed by the people who …
Family sessions at home are my favorite, especially with front porches! I love this cute family and their fun, adorable children…
I shot a fun session with this family a few weeks ago at the Suntree Country Club. These girls are always having a blast and making me laugh!
