Lisa and Brandon – Tampa Bay Watch Wedding

May 16, 2018 Tampa, Wedding

Lisa and Brandon got married on Saturday at the beautiful Tampa Bay Watch near St. Pete Beach! Lisa and Brandon were surrounded by their closest friends and family, with so much love and support. It was an overcast, cloudy day but the sun popped out in the evening for a gorgeous sunset. Before the wedding, I asked Lisa what she was most excited about and she whole-heartedly said, “I can’t wait to just enjoy all of it, to finally get to experience all that we’ve been planning and to have all of our family together.” I’m so glad that they had the wedding they were hoping for and truly got to enjoy it all! It was the perfect day (with amazing vendors)!!

My first Mother’s Day

May 10, 2018 Baby James, Family, Michelle and David

I am so, so thankful that I am this little man’s Mama. James changed our world forever when we saw his precious tiny face on June 30, 2017 (it’s almost his first birthday!!) and every night, as he’s falling asleep in my arms, I tell him “I’m so glad you’re ours and that God created you for our family.” He is the perfect addition! Last week, a few local photographers got together for a Mommy & me photo swap at the Northwest Equestrian Trail in Odessa. My new friend, Lindsay Tupper, took these photos of James and I that I will cherish forever. Thank you, Lindsay!!

Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers, grandmothers, sisters, teachers, caregivers, women out there! You are invaluable.

Lindsay and Jake – Orlando Maternity Photography

May 2, 2018 Family, Maternity, Orlando

Lindsay and Jake are going to become Mom and Dad this summer to a precious little boy!! I met Lindsay in college at UCF (and instantly fell in love with her) and we had the opportunity to serve our sorority together. Some of my best college memories include this sweet girl!! Fast forward a few years and Lindsay met the love of her life, Jake! I had the pleasure of photographing their Winter Park engagement session in August of 2014 and it makes my heart just SO happy to photograph their maternity photos and then a newborn session this summer!! So excited for you guys!
