Flash back: Conie and Daniels Wedding

Back in November I was given the opportunity to do a wedding, thanks to a friend of mine, Robert Hunter, who owns the Bob B Q Pitt (  https://www.facebook.com/bbqpitt/ )  here in Poinciana Fl. Conie and Daniel needed a wedding photographer and I was so graciously referred to them by their caterer for their wedding. They were having a low key, casual wedding in St. Cloud at Chisholm Park. Their theme?  Outdoor Rustic vibes. Conie and Daniel were married in November 2016 by their pastor, under a beautiful moss covered tree, surrounded by friends and family from their church.I was blessed to spend the whole day with Conie and her close friends and family on her wedding day. Here are a few of my favorite moments that I was able to capture from their wedding.

Senior Photos at the Gardens

So when I was in high school, our senior photos were a huge deal. We would get ready at home, grab a few outfits, and trek our way to Bryn Alan Studios for twenty minutes to take Glamour Shot type photos. I wish we had different options back when I was a senior! A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to do a photo shoot with Makayla at Bok Tower. Her mom had contacted me a few weeks prior about having her senior photos done, and while discussing locations and sending photos of various places, Makayla looked up Bok Tower and fell in love (and honestly, who wouldn't? That place is what dreams are made of.) We spent about an hour total in the gardens, from the Pinewood Estate House to the actual tower itself. Below is a small preview of our shoot at Bok Tower!

The Parker Family in Celebration

So if you haven't figured it out by now, I am IN LOVE with Celebration. I love everything about the place, the atmosphere, the nature, the buildings, the people, everything. It is literally a little slice of heaven, located right in Central Florida. So when I have clients contact me looking for a place to do their photos, Celebration is at the top of my list, next to Bok Tower, Lake Eola, Kissimmee Lakefront, and Historic Downtown Kissimmee. This was my final shoot of the year, and I am so beyond thankful because of it. The Parkers were so much fun to work with. They helped me end my year in the right direction, on the right note. Our morning was filled with laughs and goofiness and lets be real here, they are one beautiful, happy family. Here is a sneak peek at their photo session.

Ashley and Meeko at the Lakefront

There are two things that I love in this world, my family, and dogs. Seriously, I can not remember a day of my life that I didn't own a dog. So when Ashley contacted me about doing her holiday photos with her dog Meeko, I jumped on it. We decided on Celebration Lakefront park and strolled our way around the lake on an adventure, and I am not sure who had a better time, me, Ashley, or Meeko. Our morning was filled with good conversation, laughs, puppy dog kisses, hugs, and lots of fun all around. I really really love photographing pets, and I am hoping I get to spend more time with people and their furbabies in the coming year. But until then, have a peek at our morning at the lakefront.

Post Holiday Roundup!

So the holiday season is officially coming to a close. We have New Years Eve, and New Years Day. And then we will bid farewell to 2016 and our holiday season as we go into 2017, where we will close out the holidays with Three Kings Day . I LOVE where 2016 took me. I love the people who I got to meet, the families who I got to work with, I explored new places, did a couple of new things, and discovered a few things that I actually love doing. Who would have thought that Bok Tower Garden was so beautiful? Or that I really love working with and photographing pets? (Blog on that session coming soon! ) I was truly blessed to be able to work with the families that I got to work with, and to go to the places I was able to adventure out to. So with that, here are a few of my all time favorite holiday memories from this Holiday season.

We have a few cool things up our sleeves for 2017 too! From paint parties to Valentines day minis, Bok Tower spring fairy and knight sessions to summer fun, easter minis and summer/4th of July sessions. I truly thank you all from the bottom of my heart for making 2016 so wonderful, and look forward to capturing 2017!

Celebration photos with the Adams Family

I have known the Adams family for about 2 years now. It was one of those cases where the loss of a mutual friend had brought new friends together. Katie was pregnant with baby Z, and Lil D was still a baby himself. We ended up meeting at Tilted Kilt at a get together to honor our Friend Wayne, the place seemed fitting of his personality and love for all things Irish, Beer, Friends, Fun, and Food. Shortly after arriving a friendship grew. I was contacted by Danny to do family photos for him since they hadn't had any in forever, and there had been BIG changes in their family since the last time we met. If some of you dont know, I am a momma to boys. My life REVOLVES around all things boy, nerf, cars, Mario Bros, and the organized chaos that is raising boys. We had a blast doing family photos for Danny and Katie and the boys, PLUS the addition of their nephew B, who was just too adorable for words. Oh, and J made sure to point out the sweet baby alligator that was hanging out in the lake, and exclaimed "HEY! He's cool! I want a picture of him on my wall!" So, I made sure that J got his Gator picture. I appreciate kids who love gators, I am a gator lover myself :)
