This little family was fairly new to town when they contacted me to do their family session for the holidays. Mom told me that she had a floral and flower crown vision for their session, so I knew just where to take them! This little family was so sweet and photogenic, and the kiddos (Camden and Kinsey) couldn't have been any better for me! They went with a mini-session which lasts 30 minutes tops, and I really think that's the way to go with smaller children (heck, maybe even bigger ones) so that they don't get overwhelmed and stay engaged in the photo taking process. I hope you enjoy these these precious moments as much as I do! ...

In April of 2016 I joined forces with Kristen Weaver Photography to become a Master Photographer under her brand.

Horsing Around
Whenever I tell people I was born and raised in California the first thing they think of is the traffic of LA or the beaches of San Diego. I have to quickly tell them that i'm from the OTHER California... The Northern one. The one where I grew up on 13 acres and there was only 1 stoplight in the entire county. The one where my parents knew what kind of trouble I'd gotten into or where I'd been before I even got one foot through the doorway. The California where I get up with 3 horses, a pony, 5 goats, and endless number of ranch cats and dogs. There's a special place in my heart for horses. I was that girl that got a pony for her 8th birthday. Not because I was spoiled (although I probably was), but because we lived in the country and my mom grew up with horses, so it's just a bit of a right of passage. So when my sister-in-law asked me to photograph herself and her ...
Glamorous Beach Portraits
I think the beach may very well be my favorite location for portraits. Whether you choose to go casual or put on a ballgown or tux, there really is no wrong way to do it. The only disadvantage to the beach is that you really do have to go at a very specific time to get the most dreamy outcome. The hour right before sunset (really even just those last 20 min) are my particular favorite. You could also do the very first hour of the day, but I find it hard to get clients willing to get up quite that early for the hour drive to the water. Anything beyond those times and you are battling harsh light which creates unflattering shadows, and light reflecting off the water so bright that it might as well just be a white backdrop... So if your photographer is insisting on a specific time for a a beach session, it's for a reason! There's no shade to hide under and conditions can be ...
Relaxed, Professional Headshots
It seems that with the increase of social media, LinkedIn and the like, professional headshots are becoming more and more popular and necessary. In fact, LinkedIn touts a professional headshot as being one of the top recommendations for a great profile. A professional headshot is also essential when designing your own website. If you really want people to get to know the person behind the business, then they need to see you! Once you've decided that you need to get a headshot done, it's time to think about what your style should be. Something outdoors, a lifestyle look, or a more traditional backdrop. The answer to that lies in the type of business you have. Something in the professional world (think finance, a doctor, etc) probably needs more of a traditional look, while something in a more creative field would really lend itself to a lifestyle or outdoor session. Whatever ...

Outdoor Holiday Mini’s
As I mentioned in my last post, this year I offered either an indoor studio setting or outdoor setting for holiday mini sessions. The studio sessions turned out so cute, and these outdoor mini's definitely gave them a run for their money. It just so happens that I live right across the street from one of the prettiest parks in town here in Celebration, FL. A few years ago I got a bit burnt out on it because I felt like everyone in town has had their photos taken here, but after this round of mini's I remember why... It's just so dang beautiful! From the tree-lined walkway to the beautiful courtyard, there are several options to offer clients with just one location. I hope you enjoy these sessions as much as I did! ...
Holiday Sparkle
This year I gave my clients two options for holiday portraits mini-sessions - indoor studio style or outdoors. Now, I don't actually have a studio since a vast majority of my work is done on location, so I set up a little make-shift studio in my garage. I wanted to create a clean, but whimsical backdrop for the holidays. Something that wasn't too colorful or "trendy" so that my clients could have a bit more freedom in what they wore and didn't necessarily match or clash with the backdrop. It was a really fun morning with some great moments captured! ...
