James’ First Birthday Party

July 3, 2018 Baby James, Michelle and David, Personal

On June 30, 2017, we welcomed our sweet son into the world! James was born at 11:41am on that beautiful summer Friday and our lives were forever changed! (Here is the blog post with his very detailed birth story.) It’s been a wonderful year watching James grow and change. He has developed such a sweet, charming personality. I’m so thankful to be his Mama!! We celebrated his FIRST BIRTHDAY on Saturday with our family and a few friends in Orlando. (Local friends, Avalon has a new clubhouse that is perfect for small parties and a ballroom for bigger events!) We had an adventure themed party for our little Explorer. Thank you to my sister for the creative decorations!! James, we love you. We are proud of you and we are so glad that you’re ours!!

My sweet baby James is turning ONE!! I feel like he’s been in our lives for so long but I also feel like he just got here! Our son James was born on June 30, 2017 and it has been the BEST year getting to know him and watch him grow. He has grown so much!!! I shared his birth story and fresh newborn photos here. It’s amazing to see how much he’s changed over the year! We are celebrating James’ first birthday with a little adventure themed party with our family in Orlando and I can’t wait!

Thank you Darlene Barlows for these perfect first birthday photos!! We had such a great time with you and will cherish these images forever!!

Look at this handsome little man! Dominic turned the big ONE last month and we celebrated by capturing family photos at Philippe Park, including a yummy cake smash! Dominic and my baby James are in the same neighborhood play group and it’s been so fun to get to know his sweet mama and watch our boys grow together! Samantha owns an awesome local small business for customized products and gifts. Check her out at DJG Creations! Happy first birthday to Dominic!

Ashley and Devin – SeaScapes Beach Tampa Wedding

June 6, 2018 Tampa, Wedding

Tampa beach wedding

Ashley and Devin were married on Saturday at SeaScapes Beach House, the restaurant and event space located at the Southern tip of MacDill Air Force Base. It was so cool to drive through the base, past huge airplanes and giant hangers, to get to the venue! Ashley and Devin met through a mutual friend and hit it off right away. A few weeks later, Devin and Ashley’s Dad randomly ended up on the same flight from Tampa to D.C. and sat near each other! They hit it off right away, too. Such a fun story! Ashley and Devin are the perfect match with the sweetest hearts. Their beach ceremony was officiated by Ashley’s brother and the couple shared their own vows. Their words to each other were thoughtful and so soooo sweet. Their special day was filled with their favorite people, a little bit of rain, creative DIY beachy details, a great party (including an epic toast turned personalized rap by the MOH!) and so much love. Congratulations, Ashley and Devin!! I am so honored and glad that I was there to capture your most special day. Your love is beautiful and your wedding is officially now one of my favorites! Have the best time in Hawaii!!

Hi friend! I’m so glad you’re here!

My goal as a photographer is to provide authentic and joyful photos of you and your most loved ones. I love my morning latte, reading books with my three little besties, getting outside in the sunshine, and exploring new places with my high school sweetheart.
