Sep 11, 2020

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 ...

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!

THE ALVAREZ FAMILY IS EXPECTING, AGAIN

Sep 10, 2020

The Alvarez Family started coming to me when their second babe, Madison, turned one. That sunrise session was a blast! You can imagine I was over the moon to hear they were expecting their third... a boy! We shot this session right from the comfort of their backyard and the girls got to run and play while we created new memories. Baby Jack, we cannot wait to meet you!

CASA DE VILLANOVA

Sep 04, 2020

Getting to work with friends is one of the most rewarding parts of this business. I've known Amanda and Donnie for many years so you can imagine when they announced they were having twins I was ecstatic! I get to love on TWO babies? Life tends to get in the way sometimes and having not seen these babes in almost a year I got to spend time with them during our session. You guys, these babies are everything and more! Their personalities are absolutely ...

5,500 photos, 8 cards, 4 cameras, 2 shooters and one very in love couple... we present to you, Mr. + Mrs. Eric and Alyssa Foster! When I first met with Eric and Alyssa I immediately fell in love with them! She was waltzing around the venue and the way he looked at her told me I knew I had to be their photographer. Their plan was simple: Have Fun! And that they did! From the gorgeous venue to the beautiful views this wedding left me with a smile on ...

The image of Bayshore splashed behind their bride and groom formals was everything for them to take back home and hang on their New York ...
