One of the things I love most about being a photographer is getting to see my clients' beautiful families grow over the years! 13 years ago I photographed Kate and Brandon's wedding at Saddlebrook Resort . Every so often they come back for a little family Florida vacay all together and it literally makes my heart explode that they think of me to capture their family! I saw them in 2012, 2016 and 2023! Such a gorgeous growing family and I LOVE their outfit selections.
Read MoreLavender, dusty pink, with accents of gray and greenery was the color palette for Heather and Megan’s Florida Aquarium wedding. They wanted to get down to business and start straight with first look and get all their photos done before the ceremony so they didn’t miss a minute with all their favorite people or the animal encounters! They had the penguins, touch tank, and a tiny little baby alligator during their cocktail hour.
Read MoreI had the opportunity to see Hardemans Secret Garden while it was under construction several years ago and was SO excited when Liz and Jory reserved their date with me there! The grounds there are just stunning with so many beautiful locations for photos and the reception space is basically a glam green house with retractable walls that allow it to be air conditioned or open with an outside feel.
Read MoreDon’t kids just grow up so fast? I always tell mine to stop growing, but they won’t ha!! Tracy told me that her Christmas gift was for her family to get dressed up and do a family portrait session since they hadn’t done one in quite a few years and that it was time since their oldest would be moving out soon. I love planning these sessions and I know how much time and effort it takes to coordinate all the school and activity schedules and choosing outfits but it is so worth it!
Read MoreWhen you have family that lives in all different parts and you’re able to all get together in one place it’s totally a big deal and worth capturing! We photographed Melissa and Kevin’s wedding in 2014 and were so excited to see how their family has grown over the years.
Read MoreKatie & Hunter had the most gorgeous wedding at Sacred Heart Church followed by cocktails and the reception at the Centre Club! I LOVE the colors they chose, the light blue with the different shades of pink and orange flowers were so stunning. Katie had rosary that was the perfect shade of blue to match the girls dresses wrapped around her bouquet and after her mom helped her get totally ready her girls had the best reaction as they saw her as a beautiful bride! One of the awesome things about Centre Club is that the Westshore Grand is just across the atrium and there’s a really beautiful garden right in between where Linda did the guys photos and we did their first look and wedding party photos before heading to Sacred Heart. Their flower girl Alexa was just the absolutely cutest and SO happy to be a part of it all!
Read MoreBaylor University brought the green and gold to Tampa and hosted their Give Light event at the brand new Tampa EDITION. Baylor’s 4 piece jazz ensemble from their school of music played during dinner and throughout the evening. It was an evening to celebrate the academics and accomplishments of Baylor with a panel of speakers, and to say thank you to their alumni who support them from around the globe.

Read MoreIt’s always an exciting day when there’s a ribbon cutting here in Tampa Bay! I got to spend the morning at Rapid 7’s brand new Tampa office and let me tell you, it is awesome! You might remember the old movie theater that was in Channelside, well now it is the home of the Tampa Office of Rapid 7, which is a cyber security company based in Boston. The architecture and decor is so cool, very modern and industrial with hints of Tampa and their company’s personality throughout. They legit have a speak easy behind a hidden door from their break room.

Read MoreI always love a chance to get to mingle with my wedding friendors and learn some new things I can take home to implement in my business! This month’s ABC meeting I got to do both and also photograph it.
Since it’s February there was a little swag table of love as well as a station to write thank yous to our fellow friendors.
We love being based in a beautiful enough location to host destination weddings regularly! Bill and Megan traveled to Clearwater, Florida from the mid-west.
Bill, the groom actually planned Megan's entire dream wedding! She told him her vision and he literally made it all happen. They are just the sweetest and most fun couple ever.

Read MoreI’ve got some fun prettiness of my own to show you!! From August to December 2022 along with busy season we also were doing a full home and new studio renovation. It was the ENTIRE house and I mean entire, transforming it from 1979 to modern lake house.
Read MoreWe are so happy that corporate events were back in full swing in the fall! We’ve been a member and photographer for many many events with the Tampa Chamber over the last 15 years.
