Jen & Jeff: Engaged!

I have to start by saying that this is one of my favorite engagement sessions ever. I absolutely love how the photos turned out, the spot, and of course the extremely happy, in-love couple! 

Jen and Jeff found us at a bridal show last year, and we were so excited when they decided to book us! I don't know what it is, but there's just something that I completely adore about them. Maybe it's the purple eyeshadow that Jen pulls off SO well, maybe it's how ridiculously beautiful they are together, or maybe a combination of many, many things. Either way, we are very excited for their Paradise Cove wedding later this year. Enjoy your sneak peek guys! 

Meagan's Winter Garden Senior Session

Talk about a fun family! These four are so ridiculously entertaining to each other and also to me! I was smiling throughout their entire session in pure enjoyment of how close they are to each other and how laid back they all are. Meagan is graduating high school in a few short months and then heading out of state to college in August. I know her momma will miss her, but now they have a reason to leave Florida in the summer! :) 

Enjoy your sneak peek! 

Austin's Winter Garden Senior Session

Austin was a pleasure to photograph this weekend. His aunt did my hair & makeup for our Rock the Dress session (check her out for your hair and makeup needs! Debras Dos and Makeup Too). 

Austin is graduating high school soon, and man is he into guitar! I don't know that I've ever seen someone hold an instrument with such care, but the man loves his guitars without a doubt. We had a really great time, and I even managed to get some REAL smiles from him (woohoo!). 

Enjoy the sneak peek!

Ethan's Newborn Session

I hope everyone is having an excellent Thursday and looking forward to Friday! I got to spend my Thursday morning cuddling with sweet little Ethan. It's been a few months since I've photographed a newborn, and boy did I forget how bad the baby fever is that follows! We started the session focusing on the cute little poses, but towards the end I decided that I really wanted to capture some of the love that was floating all around the house. These new parents are clearly head-over-heals in love with their precious baby boy, so I just had to show some of that in the photos. And wouldn't you know it, those ended up being my favorites! :) 

Enjoy the sneak peek! 

I just swoon over tender moments like this <3 Daddy trying to calm his baby boy down.

Who doesn't love a baby-mohawk?? 

Ricky & Sue: Engaged!

Ricky and Sue are not only an incredible couple, but they also happen to be good friends of ours. They, like so many other couples we know, met online. The more couples I meet who have met this way, I start to wonder "if I was single, how would I meet someone?" Once you are out of school and in the "real world," it really isn't easy to meet new people. Even as a couple, we are constantly wanting to meet more couples our age with similar interests, but it's just not that easy. Most people don't want to meet their future spouse in a bar, and I imagine it's rare meeting someone you could fall in love with at work..so I believe in the online market 100%.

Between wedding planning and having just purchased a new home, they are busy bees right now. Thankfully she was able to squeeze in an e-session on her day off for MLK day yesterday. I hope you love the photos as much as I do! <3

Gary & Jane: Engaged!

Gary, an engineer, & Jane, an accountant, have been together for about a year now and they are eager to start their lives together. They met online through a dating site (not the first couple I've photographed to have great results from one of these sites, by the way!) and even though she lives in NY and he lives here, they have this wedding ready to go! We wish that we could be at their NY wedding in March, but we know it will be an absolutely beautiful one. They are mixing American and Chinese traditions into the ceremony, and I can't wait to see what their photographer captures that day. Lucky for us she will be moving here once they get married, so hopefully they will come to us when they're ready to start a family! :)

I hope you two had as much fun as I did during your session. Enjoy your sneak peek!
