Jessica & Will {Engagement}

Growing up, there was nothing better than waking up to a really dark and gloomy thunderstorm…but now? Well, nothing is worse than writing the “I am not cancelling your session…yet…but it isn't looking too good” email that I know every client dreads on the day of their photo session! Lucky for Jessica and Will, one hour after the dreaded bad email was sent, the skies cleared and the sun graced us with warmth, light, and the go ahead on shooting their engagement session. 

What I love most about Jessica is the way she laughs…but not just that, I love that she laughs at pretty much everything! With a vibrant spark for life, Jessica knows exactly what she wants and plans for success. Most come naturally to her since she is a teacher here in Leon County…I can imagine that her classroom is efficient and full of fun! At our consultation, we talked about what to wear and locations for her engagement session and she took the ideas and ran with them. I loved how the final product was perfect: classic and colorful!

Will, quiet and observant, knows exactly what to say to make Jessica glow with happiness and love.  Willing to do whatever takes to get the job done, he stepped up his game and rocked it with Jessica for their engagement session. Like most guys, this wasn't his thing, but knowing how much it meant to his finance he was going to have a great time with it because that’s what you do when you're in love!

Jessica & Will, I am so happy for you both and know that you guys will keep laughing together for the rest of your life! Your summer wedding at Honey Lake Plantation is going to be absolutely amazing and I cannot wait to be there to document the day from start to finish for you guys.

Stephanie & Whitney {Sisters}

I haven't seen Stephanie in close to 12 years but she was the same girl I remembered from high school: outgoing, funny, and full of life! The weekend before Christmas, Stephanie drove in from Jacksonville and her sister flew in from Chicago to spend the holidays with family. As planned, they met up with me at the FSU Stadium for their session...the resulting images would be a Christmas surprise for their dad who is a die hard Seminoles fan. I know he is so proud of his daughters (Stephanie is a lawyer & Whitney is an interior designer) and will have loved their candid and spontaneous pictures that captured exactly who they are!

Yarbrough Family

Happy Wednesday! You might recognize the Yarbrough's from Jackson's newborn session earlier this year. This time we ventured out to FSU's stadium late in the afternoon-just as the sun began to sink behind the walls of the stadium. Jackson was as sweet as ever, rocking some seriously awesome hair, and over the top infatuated with the lights. I gotta admit, his mom and dad might just be two of the most devoted parents I know and at one point had to jokingly encourage them to look at me and not at him (how could you NOT stare at his adorable little face?) You can tell from the images below that he lights up their life...

Thank you Jessie and Jeffery for having me document the first year of his life. I love watching him grow and spending time with you guys!
