Miss Adaline wishes everyone a Happy 4th!

100618_adaline_9mo_02

I’ve not been the greatest at holiday posts in the past. I get busy with the boys and life and doing holiday stuff- like NOT working. That’s why it’s a holiday, right?? Well, the 4th is Sunday, which should be everyone’s weekly holiday, and we have this session to post in honor of this Independence Day. I’m two days early, and that, my friends, is something to celebrate!! Most of you will probably remember Miss Adaline. She’s only like the cutest thing EVER!! We have watched her grow since she was in her mommy’s tummy. Now, another baby is growing [...]

Family Legacy :: Amy & Richard’s Storybook Album

100429_francis_alb_imgs_06

I want to share a little bit about what we do with all the amazing and incredibly emotive images we document & capture on your wedding day. We do so much more than just take pictures that are handed over on a disc. We personally have proofs in a box from our wedding and no album- certainly no story of our wedding day. We tell the story in storybook format and also through the slideshows we post on each couple’s Story Page. It is our passion to tell your story and ensure that your story is preserved for generations. It’s [...]

This coming Saturday, April 24th, we will take part in an amazing event that is very close to our hearts.

100207_Hurst_ENG_14

It was Paris, Summer of 2006. Their eyes discover one another at the bar. She thinks he is the most incredibly sexy man she has ever seen. For her, it’s love at first sight. He meanders his way through the crowd and buys her a drink. He is struck by her sophisticated elegance and remarkable beauty. She is attracted to his relaxed confidence, sense of humor and dreamy blue eyes. And they talk into the evening. They soon picnic in the park while lovingly gazing into one another’s eyes……… Ripped right out of a romance novel, right??? Well, sort of. [...]

Welcome to Our New Blog!!!

Buoy_boys-015

Welcome! And thanks for stopping by. This is our newly re-born blog and we are so very excited about it. It has only taken us about 3 years to get here, but hey, who’s counting?? I thought we should start off by introducing who is most important to us- our boys Brooks & Bryce- just in case you didn’t know by now! They are the reason we wake in the morning (literally, because they wake us up!!!) and they keep us really focused on what’s important. They also keep us exhausted, frustrated, confused, happy, thankful, amazed, amused and too many [...]

Getting to Know Lora & Lewis :: New York, New York

100206_Lora-and-Lewis_01

Lora & Lewis met a few years back through church in a round-a-bout way . The complete story is MUCH better when told by them! It seems that they sort of went on a first date without one of them not actually realizing it was a first date. Hmmmm, bet that was interesting! And well, after a couple months of dating, a breakup, some drama, and a wee bit of begging from one party to another, Lora & Lewis reunited and have been blissfully happy ever since. We are so thrilled that we have been invited to capture, document, and [...]

Married :: Richard & Lindsey’s St Augustine Wedding

100116_carter_wed_15

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 [...]

Married :: Molly & Asa’s Ocala Wedding

091212_high_16

Our last wedding of 2009 really sent the year out with a bang- emotionally. I still tear up watching Molly & Asa’s slideshow and viewing their album. This beautiful Ocala wedding was steeped in tradition and love. LOTS of it. This is one of the most emotional weddings I’ve ever experienced. Both families were so gracious, kind, loving, HUGE Gator fanatics, and excited that Molly and Asa were bringing them even closer together. It was a true honor to be there and document this incredible day. I have absolutely fallen in love with both families, including the grandparents! The day [...]

Getting To Know – Evan & Nicole :: Sanford Session

091114_dawkins_10

People often ask us how we get our couples to do what they do in their Getting-to-know-you sessions. We don’t try to get them to do anything other than be themselves. Put people in an environment that they are comfortable in, and see what happens!  Most people have never been professionally photographed before and don’t quite know what they should do. We put Evan & Nicole in an urban setting, where they were most likely to be comfortable. See, they are both city people and hope to maybe live in New York one day and travel the world. Although Sanford [...]
