Trash the Dress

trash-the-dress (def)- being able to express yourself in a fun, unique, unconventional and creative way that you cannot do on your actual wedding day. being able to wear that gorgeous gown once again, adding colorful and trendy accessories. can done with or without your new husband. super fun and highly recommended!!

Well, that's my definition! I met Tara last year for a Girl's Night photos session and then again for her wedding reception (their wedding was in Vegas!!). Since then I've taken head shots for her real estate business cards and she joined the Images for a Cure benefit as well. Finally, after some persuasion from her sister in law, she was ready for her trash the dress session. There is a spot that I've been wanting to shoot at for a long time in Ormond so first we headed there and then on to the beach. Despite the heat, some spooky green water and a very small run in with the law (lol!), we had an awesome session. Tara, like me, is a big fan of black and white photos so in her sneak peek, I included several. Hope you enjoy!!

Kristina & Will's E-Session

I met up with Kristina and Will on Saturday for their engagement session in Tarpon Springs. It was a long drive but well worth it! It was great to meet the happy couple in person. I will be taking their wedding day photos in May 2010 so it was so great to spend some time with them and get to know them better. They are fun and sweet and so in love. Here is a preview of some of their engagment session:

Preschool Pumpkin Patch Pictures

This year I had the privilege of taking the class pictures at my daughter's preschool. This was the first year that the preschool had class pictures taken and I had so much fun with all of these sweet little 2, 3 and 4 year olds. We shot in the pumpkin patch at the school for some fall fun!50% of the proceeds are being donated back to the school too. So not only was it fun, but it was a FUNdraiser! Here are some of my favs from the 2 days of shooting. Parents can choose between a fall vintage, black & white or traditional photo of their child so I threw in a little of all of them to share.

Oh, it's the debut of my new logo too!!
