The Lail's // Cloudy Orlando Family Session

I always talk about how much I love photographing families- but what I love even more is the opportunity to photograph families overtime & document them as they grow. I first met the Lail’s a few years back in an at home newborn session for their first daughter. Here we are now, years later, with new additions & this time playing in a field, but still as cute as ever.

It had been raining all day- Corrie & I were texting back & forth trying to decide whether or not to reschedule. Ultimately, we went for it & I’m so glad we did. The drizzle stopped just as we were arriving & the clouds made for a cozy vibe. Wrangling the babies & convincing toddlers to smile is a near impossible feat, but we had fun trying & I love the realness of these images.

Cheers to more sessions together & watching your sweet family grow!

The Ferraro's // A Sunset Field Family Session

Man, I love photographing families. There is something so beautiful about the craziness, the unpredictability, the chaos. Without fail, the kids never do what you want them to. They rarely smile on command or stand in the perfect light. But they run through the grass laughing, roll in the dirt grinning ear to ear, kiss their sibling as they wrestle them to the ground & hug their dads neck as he swings them into the air. I’m not a parent, but if I were, that’s what I would want hanging on my walls anyways. I would want to see my family just as they are- not totally in line, but having fun while trying.

The Ferraro’s were incredible. They simply existed in this field, hanging out & trusting me to capture them just as they were- happy, content, & loving on one another.

Corey & Annie // Serenbe Georgia Wedding

I almost have no words for how perfect this was. 

From the full of character getting ready houses, to the impeccable style of every little detail, to the sprawling fields & towering forest- & those are only the visuals. 

More notably, Corey & Annie fully immersed themselves in the gravity of the day. The tender notes written, worshipping while exchanging vows, the intimacy of holding one another at dusk when we stole away to the horse field- they dwelled in each moment as it came. 

It was an honor to bear witness to this beautiful union. I hope you feel it all as you scroll through their story.

The Shahi's // A Playful Winter Park Family Session

I first met Jay & Maria back in September when we ran around a downtown Orlando parking garage snapping some maternity photos. It was amazing to reunite last month, but this time with their freakinnngggg adorable son. The storm clouds rolled in as we played, but they pressed on & we had a great time. Jay & Maria , ya'll are such fun, silly people & I love getting to enter in to little moments in your lives. 

Hope to see ya'll again soon! <3

Daniel & Kaylee // A Rainy Rooftop Wedding

A wedding that all my dreams are made of- moody getting ready light, parking garages, rooftops, wedding parties that dance to Chance the Rapper during portraits, freaking cute as heck humans, oh and RAINNNN. 

Words fall sort on this one, as they so often do. But all I can say is I will never forget the moment the sky unleashed as Kaylee began her walk down the aisle. Without hesitation, she made her way to Daniel, both of them beaming from ear to ear. Rain soaked & without a care in the world, they promised each other forever. I felt honored to bear witness to the covenant of people who truly get it- that a wedding day isn't really about a wedding at all.

Jason & Nat // Cozy At Home Session

There's a special place in my heart for Nat & Jason. From the minute we sat down for our consultation almost 3 year ago, we connected. We sat outside our local Starbucks for an entire afternoon laughing & talking about every random topic you can think of. Over the years, I've photographed their engagement, their wedding, & a few weeks ago, got to join them in their new home for some cozy just for fun photos. 

We listened to Taylor, laughed, & had the best time. Gosh, I love them.

Jamie & Suz // Winter Park Racquet Club / Rollins Chapel Wedding

Jamie & Suz, man what is there even to say? Sometimes you just get lucky & I mean REALLY lucky.  From the moment I met them in their Brooklyn walkup, we clicked. Throughout the whole process, Suz texted me photos of her dress, her accessories and highlights from her Bachelorette weekend. She even sent me a care package when I moved into my new house- this girl is beyond thoughtful. By the time the wedding came, I felt like I was there to watch my friend get married rather than be a random vendor. 

This is what I hope for with all my couples & I'm so blessed that it's usually the case, but Jamie & Suz just went above & beyond making me feel at home. 

Their wedding was amazing & one HECK of a party. Anytime the night ends in half the wedding guests jumping into a pool is a MAJOR win in my book. It couldn't get better than this. 

Jamie & Suz- ya'll are warm, welcoming, alive & have the most contagious excitement for life. Knowing ya'll has been a blast & I can't wait for many more hang times to come! 

Ps. Shout out to Rachel Burkhart, second shooter extraordinaire!
