Meet Baby Jade

Little Miss Jade came into the world just a little over a month ago to proud parents Keri & Patric. She’s already a world traveler as she started out in Switzerland and came all the way here to Orlando to be born. Keri’s parents live here, and she and Patric thought it might be a little easier having some family around to help with this new chapter in their lives. Smart move :) We’re glad you’re here! Mike was able to get some great maternity shots of these expecting parents about a month prior to Jade’s arrival. Keri looks great! (Then & now- motherhood looks good on her)

Mike went literally right around the corner to Keri’s dad’s house to document this new life at only 10 days old. So precious! We always feel so honored that people invite us in to document such amazing times in their lives. Thank you, Keri & Patric, for giving us such an honor.  Enjoy some of our favorites from the two sessions.

Married :: Richard & Lindsey’s St Augustine Wedding

We had the absolute joy of being in St Augustine a few weeks ago for Lindsey & Richard as they became husband and wife at Ancient City Baptist Church. Family and friends celebrated this “mixed” marriage at the White Room afterwards. What an incredibly fun and genuine group of people.

So, what do I mean by “mixed” marriage? Well, SHE is a Seminole and HE is a Gator. I suppose there are worse things and I suppose their marriage will survive these vast differences. Of course it will!!!! This wedding was so great. Richard serenaded his groomsmen and the girls danced in the street with their “junk in the…

Happy 1st Birthday, Baby Leighton!

Back in December 2006, we celebrated & documented the marriage of Thomas & Christina in Ocala. It was an incredibly beautiful and emotional wedding for these high school sweethearts. Christina’s dad was witnessed crying for the first time by his two daughters. It was amazing. Even more amazing is that we were invited to capture the new life they welcomed into the world last January- Leighton Jessica Pestow- named after Christina’s sister Jessica.

Thomas & Christina have been our biggest fans and we have been so blessed by their friendship. Thank you!! Well, Miss Leighton was ONE on January 18th, so Happy (late) Birthday to you!! Here’s a few of our…

Tying up loose ends………

Well, it’s that time of year when I purge the office of last year and prepare for the new year. Yes, it takes a month to get started because it takes as long to wrap up the previous year! As I was going through stuff, I realized there were TONS of things that never made it to the blog. Some of the stuff is from a couple of years ago! Shame on me :( I’ve decided that I’m going to post a little here and there to get caught up. Oh yeah, and then there’s the whole name change thing. I guess we never formally announced anything. Oooops! In case you haven’t noticed, we are now Mike & Ann | Visual Storytellers. We are still legally Mike Buoy Photography, LLC…

Baby Adaline & Big Brother Gage- 3 mo & 3 yrs

We have really enjoyed getting to know this awesome family. We actually stopped by Karen & Travis’ in Lake City on our way up to very cold Atlanta and Nashville a few weeks ago. The kids played, our dog barked, I was on the hunt for the lost PB&J’s, and Mike was able to capture some pretty amazing images of this family we’ve come to love so much! I don’t always get to meet our families and couples, so this was a real treat for me. I talk to everyone on the phone all the time and often forget that I haven’t met them since we do get to know everyone so well.
