Debbie & Cory: E-Session | Downtown Pensacola

Featured

Hello friends! What a fun week it has been! I am so excited to share my final photo session of the week with you. I met Debbie & Cory in downtown Pensacola for “Part One” of their engagement session (stayed tuned for “Part Two” in the coming weeks!!) and couldn’t be happier with the results. These two are incredibly photogenic and Debbie picked fabulous outfits & props to complement the shoot. I had such a hard time narrowing down my favorites (always a good sign!) I cannot wait for their September wedding! Enjoy!

It’s only Wednesday, and so far, this has been one seriously productive week. I had 3 photo shoots & welcomed 3 new couples (including clients from California, Virginia & Missouri!) & with an awesome weekend of camping & an epic lineup of music ahead of me (see www.hangoutmusicfest.com) I must say it has been (and will be) a good one. And for this week’s wallpaper, I’m throwing it back once again to our Austin trip and this inspirational marquee.

Oh my goodness. Meet Zoe. I have been patiently awaiting her arrival since Leigh-Ashley & Stanley shared their good news with me, and this little sweet little girl surely did not disappoint. Yesterday I was lucky enough to spend a few hours with this precious family and got to capture some teeny tiny memories. They grow up so quickly, and it is so special to have these first few weeks frozen in time. Leigh-Ashley & Stanley, thank you again for allowing me to continue to share in your happiness & life’s biggest moments. I am truly honored.

Get ready for some cuteness overload!! Yesterday was Mother’s Day & I had the pleasure of getting to spend the evening with not one, but TWO mommies and their little Tyler for some family & 2 year-old photos. Rose & Andrea picked a spot on the UWF bike trails with the most beautiful evening light. Tyler was such a cooperative 2 year-old – and he is seriously as cute as they come. I had such a fun time working with this sweet little family. It was great to see you guys again & I can’t wait until next time!!

Mother’s Day

With Mother’s Day this Sunday, I wanted to dedicate a special blog post to my sweet momma. One of the hardest parts about living so far away from home is being apart from my family. My mom is my biggest cheerleader and has always given me the ego-boost I need to keep on going. Her reactions when looking through my photos are priceless. It’s pretty hard to transcribe into words, but let’s just say there is a lot of enthusiastic gasping, clapping & cheering. I couldn’t ask for more. And it’s not limited to viewing my work. My mom is the most excited, happy and all around positive person I know. Just look at how freakin’ cute she is underneath her favorite tree! Mom – you are the best personal shopper, advice giver, “assertive” driver, chef, reservation maker & cheerleader ever! I love you mommalou!

In honor of all the other moms out there, I decided to go back through my archives and pull some of my all-time favorite photos of mothers with their children. To all the mothers below, and all mothers everywhere, thank you for everything.

Last summer, Jeff & I took an impromptu weekend trip to Austin, TX & totally fell in love with the city. One of the highlights of the trip was our visit to some of their local food trucks and specifically, the Hey Cupcake truck. Unfortunately, the gigantic cupcake below isn’t real, but it sure looks pretty in photographs! Have a sweet Wednesday!

We are finally settling back into our normal routine here in Pensacola after getting home from a fun trip to Carlisle. It is such an incredibly beautiful time up there and we tried to spend as much time as possible outside with the pups. It was a relaxing vacation with some of my favorite people & the week just seemed to fly by. I’ve put together some shots I took during the trip for all to enjoy! Here’s to a great week!

My visit home in Pennsylvania this week just so happened to coincide with the peak blooms of this beautiful tree in my parents’ backyard. We call is my mother’s “favorite tree” & I’m sure you can see why. Here’s to the rest of the week!

4 Years!

I received an email last week that caught me totally off-guard. It was a vendor congratulating me on my 4-year anniversary. Recently, I’ve been so incredibly busy with weddings & meetings that I hadn’t yet realized this date was approaching. I wasn’t going to make a big deal out of it, but then I decided that 4 years in business was not too shabby & a cause for celebration (glass of wine, anyone?) These past few years I have spent growing this company have been nothing short of amazing. I appreciate each & every one of you who supports me & help me out by looking so dang good in my lens. I can’t wait to see what the future has in store!

Jennifer had me at “I’m getting married in a castle.” Last weekend, I traveled all the way to Franklinton, Louisiana for this fun wedding at The Louisiana Castle. What a fun venue! Between the suit of armor, the “Throne Room” and the gorgeous landscape, we had so many photo opportunities throughout the day. Jenn & Dan’s little girl, Cordelia, was also a huge part of the whole wedding and is seriously as cute as they come. I had an amazing time shooting this wedding and making new friends. All in all, a perfect start to 2013!

Amanda & Steve: 4.20.13 | Pensacola Beach Wedding

Three months ago, on a rainy night in January, I sat with Amanda & Steve in Panera and talked about their wedding. It was coming SOON! And sure enough, April 20 was here before we knew it. On a gorgeous Saturday, we gathered on Pensacola Beach for their festivities (& photos!) Can we talk about Amanda’s bouquet? Peonies are my absolute favorite flower, and Fiore delivered some spectacular results, as always! After their heartfelt ceremony, we had more time for photos. For two people who (self-admittedly) don’t like having their pictures taken, these two rocked the house! Amanda – you are gorgeous! We hopped in Don’s VW (thanks again!) and made our way to Hemingway’s for their reception. I couldn’t be happier for these two! I loved spending last Saturday with them and I can’t WAIT to share their images! Enjoy!
