The Bess Family

Brooke and her family met with me yesterday afternoon in Winter Park. The day was absolutely gorgeous; sunny, warm with a bit of a breeze to cool your face...just perfect! Baby Camille and her big sister Addison were just amazing with the photos. Camille smiled throughout the entire session, and Addison made sure to keep everyone on their toes. That little girl is so smart and has such an adorable personality, you just can't help but smile and laugh the entire time. You can tell she loves being a big sister, and Camille is lucky to have her! I don't think this session could have gone any better...and I can't wait to see them again for their next session in January! Enjoy the preview! :)

I love love *love* action shots, and the one below on the right is the reason! :)


Happy baby! Her smile is so contagious!


Gorgeous little Addison...I could have taken pictures of her all day!


Okay...I just adore these two photos below. Addison looks like a *doll* and Camille's smile just melts my heart!


Not much is sweeter in the world than a group of manly men holding precious girls like this :)



I couldn't help but want a fun, goofy photo from these guys. They were so much fun!

The Sabot Family

Angela and her family are troopers, to say the least! Their photo session was one of the coldest I've done yet. Poor little Deacon was literally shivering the entire time...but we made it! :) We started on good ol' Park Avenue and then drove a few minutes down the road to another cute area. Deacon was so adorable, and we just felt so bad constantly having to take his warm, cozy jacket off for the pictures. He was a good sport though! :-) Enjoy the peak!

Such a handsome group of guys!


I adore tender moments like the one here between grandparents and grandchild <3


I don't know if anyone has noticed, but I just love taking photos that show off a child's eyelashes. It seems like all children have gorgeous lashes, and I love how they come out in photos!


Such a sweet family


Love candid shots!



We were just about to call it quits for the day when I noticed most of them standing by the water like this. "Just one more photo, stay right there!" :)

Jeff & Meredith's Engagement Session

Jeff & Meredith are another couple that I met through the Your Wedding TV Bridal Show a couple of months ago, and they were just so much fun to photograph during their e-session! We started at Casa Feliz and then headed to Park Avenue. I just love these two! They are such an amazing, in love couple and their happiness just radiates from them. I am looking forward to their wedding in the Keys in January! I just know it's going to be an incredibly fun wedding :) Enjoy the sneak peak!

She and I have something VERY much in common; a true, honest to goodness love for sweets!


I love this one...the sun just bursts right through this photo!









Casa Feliz is just so amazing! A great venue for a small wedding :)



Pure happiness :)


Jeff & Meredith, I can't wait for your wedding!

Shannon's Graduation Session

I met Shannon during my final semester of college in calculus. We both suffered through the same professor wondering the entire time "why do Micro & Molecular Biology students need to take calculus?!" In the end, we both got through calc. and graduated with our degrees. Shannon's graduation is tomorrow, and she wanted some fun photos before waving goodbye to UCF. Enjoy the preview!

I'm such a proud UCF alumni! <3

Isn't UCF just gorgeous? And of course Shannon is too! :)


We just barely made it to the fountain before they turned it off for cleaning. Phew!


Class of 2010 -- Congrats Shannon!

Andrew's Proposal to Carol

Jaclyn from At Last Wedding & Event Design contacted me about photographing a proposal in Winter Park. Having never done this before, I was extremely excited to do this! We met Andrew on Park Avenue this past Tuesday and waited for his soon-to-be fiance, Carol, to arrive with her friend. Everything went smoothly, and she said yes! :) Here are some pictures from this special session. Enjoy!

I'm pretty sure she knew what was about to happen at this point ;)


I love this one. She couldn't believe her friend was in on this and she didn't know!


Kisses kisses kisses :)


Okay, everyone come look!


We had just enough time before it got too dark for some pictures in front of this amazing Christmas tree.


Congratulations Carol and Andrew!!! <3

Nicole's Graduation Session

Nicole and I met where my photography career began; Target. That's where it all started for me with photography, and venturing out to buy my own camera and start my own business was a huge (and amazing) step! A few years later, Nicole is now graduating from Rosen College to be an event planner (maybe one day a wedding planner where we can work together again???). This was only my second time at the Rosen campus, but it is really beautiful there. There were some fun little spots to photograph, and the sunlight was just yummy! The only thing we could have done without was the FREEZING wind. Okay...we are Floridian's, so freezing to us is an entirely different definition than it is to northerners. Either way...cold face, numb fingers, and an awesome model later, we got these shots: Enjoy!

Jocelyn & Jonathan E-Session

I met with Jocelyn and Jonathan at Winter Park this morning, and boy was it cold! You would never know how cold these two were (they were shivering!!!) just by looking at their pictures...guess that means they did a pretty good job! :) I met the two of them through a bridal show and will be photographing their October, 2011 wedding. I'm very excited about it because as you should all know by now, I LOVE bright colors...and they have nothing but bright colors in their wedding! It will definitely make for fun photos!

Enjoy the sneak peak!
