What can I say about Mia and Damani's wedding other than it was amazing! I'm blessed to have such wonderful clients - it makes an already fun job something extra special!

Random Tuesday

Just dropping off the odd bits of randomness kicking around in my head...

What is the deal with 40-something degree weather in Florida? In March?

I'm super excited because I just found out that I'll be traveling to Thailand at the end of April! Not looking forward to the 17 hour flight, but it's going to be SO worth it! I'll be spending time in Bangkok, Chiang Rai, and on the island of Koh Samui.

Add that to an already full schedule and a week in Hawaii in May and that now means my next available portrait session is in June! Priority will be given to engagement sessions of couples getting married soon, so contact me now to schedule your shoot!

Previously on...HUH? What do you mean there's no LOST this week? %!$#@ writer's strike!

Had a blast yesterday at the Rockstar Roadtrip Workshop run by Corey McNabb and Amber Holritz. Corey's a fantastic wedding photographer and Amber is an amazing lifestyle baby photographer. Both gave us awesome tips and lots to think about! That's one of the cool things about photographey - there's always new things you and learn and people in this industry are so generous with sharing that knowledge!

Borrowed these pics off my dear friend Suzie Seagraves' blog.

It's a dog's life: Mason

It's been so long since I've done a pet portrait session, I'd forgotten just how much I enjoy them! I loved crawling around on the ground while photographing Mason at her owner Laura's home. Isn't she a cutie?

You know you're having a bad day when...

you go to Burger King to grab lunch (an infrequent treat, I swear!) and the broiler is busted. That means no burgers. At Burger King. Argh. LOL

I did what any fast food craving gal would do - went across the street to Wendys!

Engaged: Alison & Ross

Alison was the winner of the blog contest I ran for a free engagement session back in January! She and Ross are getting married this coming October and we had a blast shooting their engagement session on the campus of Rollins College.









Danielle & Steven are getting married!

Danielle & Steven are such a cut couple and we had a blast roaming around downtown Winter Park for their engagement session.







and, of course, what's life without a little flare?

Blooming Memories and Gia's Cafe grand opening party!

Last night I had the pleasure of attending the grand opening party of Blooming Memories and Gia's Cafe over in Sanford. Gia's catered and the Italian food is to die for! (High praise coming for an Italian girl like myself!)
