This past week I photographed Theresa. After a session with her entire family last November, I asked her to model for me. 9 months later, our schedules (and the weather) finally cooperated. She has a fun, laid-back personality and is a blast to be around. I'll be photographing her whole family again in September at the beach - can't wait!
During a trip to FL in June, I had the privilege of photographing one of my best friends and her sister. They were both pregnant, and due within ten days of each other! Perfect photo opportunity! Within the past week and a half, they both had their babies. Welcome to the world Caleb Michael and Isabella Renee! Can't wait til I get to photograph you together again :) Here they are when they were still 'in the oven'.
“If a day goes by without my doing something related to photography, it’s as though I’ve neglected something essential to my existence, as though I had forgotten to wake up.” –Avedon. Our lives are filled with unique intricacies that define who we are – shaping our identities and relationships. It is my passion to capture these intimate moments – a tender embrace between a parent & child, a subtle loving glance of a bride toward her groom, or the expression on a man’s face as he reflects over 20 years of military service – & preserve them as cherished memories for future generations to enjoy. To me, portraiture is not about simply looking at a person & recording their appearance. It is about looking within a person & capturing the essence of who they are.
Photography is not just what I do – it is part of who I am! Even at 3 years old, I would patiently wait for butterflies to land on flowers so I could photograph them. During a high school photography class, I decided to turn my passion into my profession. I completed the photography program at Daytona State College & over the past 12 years, I have photographed numerous weddings, events & portrait sessions.
