Bridal Formals for Amanda
Congratulations to Amanda and Nick on their big day! She came to the studio a few weeks ago to have her bridal portraits made. I have been photographing her for about 5 years and she never fails to "bring it" to any session we do. I have no doubt that their...
Santa Visits
I love the holidays - the food, the lights, the music, the fun! There was really only one thing that I didn't enjoy when the kids were little and that was Santa photos. Oh, it wasn't necessarily the photo, mind you. It always seemed like someone was looking the...
An Afternoon of Fun Photography
Every once in a while I get a chance to get out and just play, create and collaborate with some of our local talent. Melody is a local dancer and a beautiful young lady. On the afternoon we were going out to photograph, a storm came rolling in and we thought we were...
Country Couple Photos in the Pasture
So where do you do engagement photos for a country couple? The pasture, of course! My beautiful niece is marrying the love of her life soon. He is in agriculture and she's a sweet little country girl, so it made perfect sense to do their engagement photos in the...

Explore Your Creativity with Muses
If you are a creative, you probably already know it's a good idea to find a good muse (or two!) who will collaborate with you on ideas. Amanda and Jessica are two of my favorite "play dates", because they always get into whatever the concept is and bring it to life....
Ranch Photo Session for Couple
We had such a great time photographing Jeremy and Laura Hester's engagement session yesterday at a north Lakeland ranch. He's a rodeo cowboy, and she's s cute little blonde southern tomboy. We only got in a few images and it started raining so we had to take it...
Gender Reveal for One of My Favorite Families
When Amanda called to ask if I would photograph their gender reveal, I was so excited for her, Mike and Cameron. It just seems like yesterday that we were planning their wedding day! But, that was years ago. Doesn't time fly when you're having fun?! Save
