111112_sarah_belle_14

Almost all of us have struggles in life. For those that say they have none, well, they struggle with the truth and honesty. Just sayin’! Some of our struggles are private and hidden, and others are out there for the world to see. Some struggles come and go, and others hang around, nagging us every day. (And, oh, do I have many!!) For Sarah, her struggle was to find herself, hidden under some extra weight. So in July of 2010, she had surgery to assist in that quest. Well, in the process of finding herself, she lost a lot of [...]

Lake City Newborn Photographer :: Meet Molly Catherine

We first met Rob, Andrea & Lilla during our holiday mini sessions in 2010. What a beautiful family! We were thrilled when they asked us to document their newborn daughter, Molly, who came into the world in February as a leap-year baby. She obviously was holding out for something special, and her birthdate certainly qualifies.  She has something else special in that Miss Lilla is her big sister. What a wonderful friendship these two have in store! The foundation of everything we do is capturing and documenting relationships. We want to capture what’s significant and sentimental. The relationships in this [...]

He WAS the cutest guy in their ’06 college class. So, it was only natural that Anna and all her friends figured out how to sit as close to him as possible.

And then on the way to Crystal River with some friends one weekend, Anna realizes that Kyle is in the truckload of guys driving close by. At the light she decides to yell her number at him. She says she doesn’t do that on a regular basis……. Much to her surprise, Kyle did call [...]

110326_swisher_details_mikeandann_13

Jay & Dianna’s elegant wedding last month was full of fabulous details. Dianna’s favorite color is purple, a color that connotes royalty, luxury and sophistication. It is also feminine and romantic. These all describe Jay & Dianna’s wedding and their details. Amy and her team with Francis Event Design really did an amazing job (again) transforming the Columbia County Fairgrounds banquet facility into the luxurious ambiance required for such an elegant celebration. It was quite amazing!! Everything was awesome. But really, at the end of the day, at the end of every day, it’s the marriage that matters. That’s what’s [...]
