A LITTLE BIT CLOSER

Jan 19, 2021

My passion project started with these two beautiful souls and I couldn't think of a better pair to jump start my vision! On an overcast weekday I met these two with no intention of capturing anything more than a few photos of love. Little did I know I would be able to pull a passion out of them that I couldn't have dreamt up in front of my lens. I fell in love with their love for one another! With a few prompts here and there, the chemistry between this couple was undeniable and ...

A LITTLE LOVE AND ROLL

Jan 19, 2021

My friends totally rock... and roll ;) The perfect Sunday was spent with two great friends as they explored the new St. Pete Pier with me. Luly and Javi are the ideal couple! They're both totally in love with each other and their free spirited nature made them perfect for this session. I had a blast watching Javi protect his first time, little rollerblader while she threw caution to the wind and sassed her way down the pier! Their love is undeniable ...

A SLICE OF LOVE

Jan 19, 2021

When I think of relationships I love to think of all the comfy parts of it. You know, that part where you both can hang out on the couch all day while eating pizza and doing a movie marathon. Lindsey and Paul are probably two of the most hardworking individuals I have met in a while so when I was deciding what to do with their session my first thought was "flannels, pizza and beer!" I'd say we nailed it. I had the chance to capture these two in a laid back and natural ...

SHOWERING BABY ROGERS

Jan 17, 2021

When I was asked to photograph this baby shower I had no idea what I was in for. Aside from a very small but heartwarming high school reunion with beautiful friends I was also met one of the most loving and deserving couples of a new little love on the way. The Rogers love stole my heart from the second I met them. Raelyz walked through the door of her own shower goregous as ever and greeted me with the biggest smile, as if we had known each other for years.I spoke ...

This wedding will be one that I hold close to my heart! Krista was a gorgeous bride and Patrick was a dapper groom. The couple, the venue, the guests and the ambiance left nothing to want more for.

KATHRYN + TYLER

Sep 10, 2020

I have known Kathryn (Katie Bell) since she was little. Babysitting her during our summer vacations on the beach we grew up on is just the start. Watching this sweet little girl turn into a brilliant and beautiful young lady has been such a thrill! Now our sweet Katie Bell has met the man of her dreams and that's not just a saying. Tyler is the kindest, big hearted and attentive gentleman I've met. Watching him interact with Kathryn and the seeing the way he ...

MR. ERIC DAILEY

Sep 10, 2020

This session had me cracking up the entire time. Mr. Eric Dailey is a long time friend who I never thought I'd see in front of my lens but when he said he was starting his own company we knew he needed a refresh on his head shots. It's always a funny thing working with friends. It's not as easy to pose and direct them as most become defiant or think I'm messing with them. "I promise this looks great! I kept saying as he looked at me with a playful doubt in his ...

WELCOMING BABY JACK

Sep 10, 2020

Told ya we'd be back and this time with the cutest little addition. The Alvarez family did good. Baby Jack is the sweetest little guy with the best cuddles. Mom and Dad wanted simple photos with a big focus on Jack! I didn't want the session to end but I'm so happy with the final turn out! Welcome to the world Baby Jack!

ASHLEY + RYAN

Sep 10, 2020

In the heart of downtown Tampa I met with this gorgeous couple and had an amazing time! Within just a walking distance we were able to cover quite a few locations throughout this session in just under two hours. Ashley and Ryan were a pleasure to work with and took little to no effort when it came to showing their love in front of my camera. I cannot wait to photograph their wedding in 2021! Cheers to the happy couple!
