Christina and Thomas wanted to have their engagement photography done in Saint Augustine so we met up a couple weeks ago for the shoot. We had such a nice time strolling the beautiful streets of downtown and the fort lawn, talking about wedding plans and enjoying the amazing, breezy weather. Congratulations to the happy couple!
Moultrie Montessori School | Saint Augustine Commercial Photography
I had the privilege of capturing these images last week for Moultrie Montessori School in Saint Augustine. The private school is updating their website and marketing materials and I was happy to be a part of that. My daughter Mary is a 5th grader at MMS and we have really enjoyed being there this year. Montessori was all new to us last …
Addison Turns One | Baby Photographer Satellite Beach
I can’t BELIEVE this precious girl is already a year old, walking around like it’s her job, full of personality and the very best belly laughs. I loved the chair her mom brought along that has been passed down through the family. The added color was great too. We shot this session at Gleason Park, thankfully without any wildlife “incidents.”
Garden Backyard Wedding | Merritt Island Florida
Sam and Pete were married last month at the home Sam grew up in. A true garden wedding, the day was filled with colorful blooms, eclectic details, rich wooden farmhouse style and so much love between family and friends that the celebration gushed with happiness. Early on in the day, we had just enough rain to make us sweat. A tent …

Austin’s 6 month milestone | Baby and Family Portraits
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 …
Family Maternity Photography | Melbourne
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 …
Family Photography | Merritt Island
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 …
Young Life Family Camp | Carolina Point
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 …
Bethany Hamilton Event Photography | Melbourne Florida
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 …
Kate Upton and Justin Verlander Host Pet Adoption Event | Lakeland Fl
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 …
Tips for Great Business Headshots | St. Augustine Photographer
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 …
Family Photography | Melbourne Florida
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 …
St. Augustine Photography Class | Registration Open!
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 …
Professional Headshots | Commercial Photography St. Augustine
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 …
Nautical Maternity and Family Photography | Merritt Island Florida
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 …
Mother and Son Portrait | St. Augustine Photographer
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!
St. Augustine Family Photography | St. Augustine Beach
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!
Architectural Photography | School Development
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 …
Corporate Event Coverage | Commercial Photography
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 …
