Camryn's Princess Birthday

Camryn celebrated her 4th birthday at Disney's Bibbidi Boppiti Boutique where she was turned into Belle from The Beauty and the Beast. In true Disney fashion, everything was magical from meeting her fairy godmother to having her wardrobe ready when she arrived to all the sparkles and glitter a little girl dreams of! Here are a few from her super special day...

Fashion/Couture Photography

A first for me...fashion photography. And I loved it! I joined a group of Jacksonville photographers on Tuesday for a monthly event generously organized by Pro Make up Artist Faythe Hall Mesic. This was something totally different for me. I loved how I had total creative freedom with lighting, with angles and in post production. Super fun! Here's a little sample of my work from yesterday...

Mendi's Maternity Session

My friend Mendi is expecting a little boy in February (we are only 5 days apart!) who they will name Brady. Mendi wanted to have her maternity pictures taken early "before she got too big" but I warned her that I will be taking more of her when she's closer to her due date:)

Here are a few from her session- she also included her family in several photos as well. Congrats to Mendi, Brian, Allison and Lauren! We can't wait to meet Brady

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!!
