Tatiana - Anytime portrait session

I'm really excited to post these pictures!

I love how they all turned out and I hope ya'll like them as well :)

This one is probably one of my favorites. I just love the pose and lighting!

I like the affect on this one. I turned off my flash and just let the sun do it's beauty :)

Tatiana ~ Sneak Peek

I am still in the process of editing Tatiana's pictures from our session but I really really wanted to post at least one. This is straight out of my camera, no editing done. I just loved the texture and rustic feel of the door. It served as a great backdrop and I think it really complimented Tatiana's whole look. Be sure to check back for the long post of the shoot coming soon:)

BIG world

The photography world can be a bit tough, scary, and demanding for both the photographer and the client. I've been there so I can really relate to every client that comes across different photography websites. I remember when I was planning our wedding, it took me almost 3 months to find a photographer that I felt comfortable with. Of course, quality is definilty something I was looking out for as well. I had particular pictures in mind that I wanted to have taken as well as different photo enhancements I wanted the photographer to do. But the main thing to me was that I wanted to get to know my photographer at a more personal level. This would make it so much easier for me to work it in front of the camera and therefore create stunning pictures.

Now turning it the other way around, I want to make sure I give fabulous service to any future clients that may come my way. And it doesn't come down to just snapping pictures. You want your client to be comfortable enough with you that they can pick up the phone anytime and call you for advice as far as what to wear to their engagement session, ideas to pick a location, an opinon on what wedding shoes they could wear, if they'd like a break from all the wedding planning and go grab some sushi, etc. I don't want my clients to see me just as someone who is taking the pictures, but also as a friend and I love making new friends! :)

The Johnson's anytime portraits...Part II

Hi friends! ~ As promised, here are some more pictures from their session. It was really chilly and breezy at the beach, but they were such good sports when I asked them to jump around in the water for a little bit :)

Johnson's anytime portraits

Teresa, Brandi & Janay are a sassy bunch who gave me the honor to have their portraits taken last evening. Teresa is an incredible mother of 4. You would have never guessed right? She looks fabulous! Her two boys were not able to make it so we'll have to make sure to schedule another fun shoot. We started off at the Ormond Beach Memorial Gardens and then headed to the beach. I leave you now with just a few teasers. More coming soon! :)






They are so photogenic!

Steve & Irene's wedding

Hey everyone! Ok, so I finally got a chance to post the wedding of my friends, Irene and Steve. This was a very intimate wedding. It was amazing to see how everyone helped them out. She met her husband Steve when he traveled to the philipines. That's where she used to live before he swept her from her feet. He wasn't going to let her get away ;) All of the friends contributed to EVERYTHING, from her hair and make-up to the decorations and and delicious food. Irene's family unfortunately were not able to travel to the U.S. but what they did was they had a laptop with a cam set up through the whole event, that way, her family was able to see everything!!! How cool was that!? Since there is a 12 hour difference, Irene's family had to get up extra early (at 6am) to watch the ceremony, since it started at 6pm. I feel so honored to have been part of their wedding. I was so excited when Steve asked me to photograph their wedding because to be honest with you, it was my first wedding to photograph :D I have more images on my computer but I'm always a little shy and I guess hesitant to post all of them ;) Here are just a few:

Beautiful Irene

I just love taking pictures of details.
