It was the first chilly day of our Florida fall. The park was insanely crowded with other photographers, people picnicking, and joggers on a high, but we found some quiet pockets & made it our own.

Engagement
It was a Wednesday in late February when Todd & Jess met me in Joshua Tree. We arrived right as the clouds broke & the last light of day dropped behind the mountains. It was windy & cold, but Todd & Jess didn't seem to mind one bit. We talked, climbed some rocks, shared jackets, & didn't stop shooting till there wasn't a drop of light left in the sky.
This was such a fun shoot for me & I'm so thankful to have met these two & gotten to play in such a magical place. <3
I'm gonna keep this one short & sweet, because let's be honest, it's a few days before Christmas & no one has time to read more than a few sentences anyways..am I right?
Last month, David, Tara & I ran around St. Augustine, one of my favorite Floridian cities. The weather was amazing & the wind was doing all the right & perfect things for Tara's hair. The chemistry between these two is off the charts & it was making my giddy how at home they are together.
It was an all around great time, I love these images, & I'm so so excited for their wedding in just a few weeks! EEK!
Back in November I was able to visit New York City for Jamie & Suz's engagement photos & holy cow, was it fun. I mean it was next level fun. We ran around their Brooklyn neighborhood, drank beer in Ubers, ate delicious pizza, & climbed to their rooftop for a sunset that couldn't have been better. We spent an entire afternoon together & it was non stop laughter & fun for me. These two are like a breath of fresh air & I'm so so happy to have made these photos with them.
I could go on forever, but I'll just let the images speak for themselves. Enjoy <3
Last month I drove to the gulf coast of Florida to meet John & Rainee. Gosh, they are both incredible. We ran around the beach playing in the cloudy sunset light, braved the chilly water as the moon rose, & didn't stop shooting till there was not a drop of light left in the sky. I shed a few quiet tears as I watched their tenderness with one another come alive in front of my camera.
So happy for this special afternoon spent with them. <3
Last month I was out in California attending a photography conference ( it was incredible, by the way). After the conference, a few fellow photographers & I took a mini road trip to explore & have some fun shooting in new locations. Along the way we had the opportunity to collaborate on an engagement session in Malibu & it was amazing! Patrick & Sarah are the sweetest couple. They were so playful with one another & their love was making me squeal with excitement. Even as I was editing this session, I don't think a smile left my face once.
Major props to Patrick & Sarah who totally went along with having 3 crazy photographers at their session. It was so much fun!
Below is a selection of my favorite images from my camera that day!
Birmingham is one of my all time favorite cities & every time I have an opportunity to visit, I most certainly jump at the chance. So when Lauren asked me to come shoot her & Zach's engagement session in the city where they met, I could barely contain my excitement!
It was such a fun day shooting in various spots around the city that hold meaning to Lauren & Zach. Below are a few images from the last portion of our day spent in Lauren's amazing loft & running around downtown at dusk.
Zach & Lauren- thanks for bringing me to your city & letting me run around with you all day. Ya'll are amazing, I'm so glad we are now friends & I am so excited for your wedding this October!!!
Today I have for you some images from Lindsey & Jordan's engagement session. These two are so lovely & sweet with one another & I can't wait for their Winter Park wedding this summer!
You know it's gonna be a good one when you meet prospective clients for a consult & you end up talking for over 2 hours about life & ya'lls mutual affinity for the Orlando Magic & Taylor Swift! That's exactly how it went with Jason & Nat. We clicked instantly & I knew we were in for some fun!
Jason & Nat really wanted to do an ADVENTURE SESSION for their engagements which was so so exciting to me. We started the day walking around their neighborhood with their sweet dog, Charlie. Then we found ourselves in an alleyway doing the "Nae Nae" & having a dance party for the camera. Afterwards we headed out to Wekiva Springs to do some hiking & adventuring. We had planned to end the day with a peaceful canoe trip, but to our dismay, the canoe rental closed early that day. So there we were standing on the edge of the river where we had planned to launch our canoes, the sun was quickly setting, & Nat looks over at me & said "you know we brought a change of clothes in case you wanted us to get in the water?"
I didn't even try to hide my excitement. They ran towards the water & we played until the sun went down. The images from this portion are definitely my favorite from the day. Oftentimes the best moments can't be planned. So much good comes from going with the flow & embracing whatever adventure is in front of you at the time. I'm so happy Jason & Nat were down for the moment that day!
Can't wait for their wedding in April!
Alex & Colleen are sweet, kind, & super in love. It was fun to spend a Sunday afternoon with them! When I asked what they loved to do together, her answer was simple, "we love walking around Park Ave with our pup, Lola & just soaking in the loveliness of the day." So that is exactly what we did. Alex, Colleen, Lola, & me- we walked around Winter Park & just soaked in the loveliness of the day. We were also soaked in sweat because it happened to be 100 degrees outside, but that's neither here nor there. ;)
I'm so excited to celebrate & shoot these awesome people's wedding beginning of next year!
