Cindy and Matt's engagement session downtown at Friendship Fountain

Matt proposed to Cindy downtown on New Years even night across the river from where we were. We shot some pics around the fountain, went over to their proposal spot, then came back for night time pics. These two are so cute are so much fun =)

The Hendrix's Holiday Card

Christa and Kyle's engagement session - downtown Jacksonville

I think there was a huge cloud of fog sitting directly over downtown yesterday.  Didn't make for such perfect conditions in a photoshoot, but we still had fun.  Christa and Kyle have the best 'how we met' story that I'm going to have to get her to type up for me.  It's so cute.  Let's just say they are meant to be.

The Rudbach's Family Photos at Jax beach pier

Joy is one of my photog friends that I met at church. She is a ton of fun and a little crazy at times...which is why I love her. Her little gals are just too sweet. And Seb, he was such a great sport. After all the bribing and yelling that it took to get some great shots, we all got treats for being good. =)

Sister shoot...

It's all about girl time!  Remember what it was like to be their age...Oh those were the days.  We went for a little visit to Mandarin Park to shoot some photos for their Christmas cards.  The girls were so much fun, and I was even invited to be their new babysitter.  I think that has been the highlight of my month! =)  Thanks for letting me hang with you, girls.  Be thinking of where our next shoot will be!

Pics are on my Facebook

I just finished loading quite a few pictures on of Jennifer and Brian and the Dorsey family shoot on my Facebook.  Feel free to add in the fan page and check them out.  People ask me all the time if it's okay to tag themself in photos...Go for it!  =)  I have to get going to a wedding, but I'll load a few on my blog later.  Meanwhile, check out the FB.

Jennifer and Brian are married!

Here is just a couple pictures from last night's wedding at Casa Marina.  It was such a beautiful day. Congrats you two!

Alex and Woody are married!!

Alex and Woody chose the Saint Augustine lighthouse as their ceremony location. It was a LONG walk up the 213ish steps to the top, but the ceremony at sunset could not have been more beautiful. Here's a couple pics...more to come.

Christenson Family Portraits

Kelly is a fellow photographer that I met a year ago.  We swapped equipment and technique info and got to know each other...and eventually met for lunch.  We've been friends ever since.  I was excited and NERVOUS when she asked me to do their family portaits.  Taking pictures for a photographer just puts the pressure on =)  We had a great time playing in the sand and watching the surfers.

Jessica and Tyler are married!!!

I have only barely begun to start going through these so this is a very select few that I just grabbed off the top.  Jessica and Tyler were married at the Casa Marina in Jax Beach last Saturday.  If you remember, the air show was at the beach all weekend so it was CROWDED!!!  But it was beautiful weather, their families all had a glow, and Jess and Tyler were just perfect.  Congrats you two =)

mom and sis helping get her ready.

The Blue Angels. I like to think they were making a heart for Jess and Tyler here.

Jess, who is absolutely beautiful.

Them trying to have a moment...if the photog and videog would leave them alone =)

Toast of course

This is one of my fav shots. I love lit up spaces at night...and capturing the natural glow.

Almost completely booked for the holiday season!

Hurry and book your spot for holiday photos! Use these photos for your Christmas cards, Chrismtas gifts for family, and your annual family wall portrait to hang in your home.  What can you expect with your session?  I take as long as we need to so we can make sure and get all the family combos: big group shots, each kid shots, group kid shots, mom and dad shots, etc.  No matter who all is or isn't there, we get it all. =)

Monica and Terron are engaged!

Monica and Terron both live in Chicago.  Last December, Terron took Monica to dinner at Kres in Orlando.  After dinner, they took dessert to a park down the street to play scrabble.  They are huge scrabble players and according to Monica, she always wins! =)  Nevertheless, he spelled out his proposal, and she said yes.  Congrats you two.  I can't wait for the wedding...

Tonya,

You are absolutely AWESOME!!!! (and fast)!

The pictures are so much more than what I could have even hoped for or even imagined. It's funny seeing ourselves in these pictures because we have been viewing everyone else's pictures since we became engaged and now we get to see our own. I could be a little biased, but I think that these are the best engagement pictures EVER! (lol)

We had a wonderful time with you on Thursday and couldn't stop talking about the experience with all of our family and friends. We sent a link to your facebook and website to a few of them already, I think some of them were more anxious to see the pictures than we were (which I didn't think was possible)...
