Maria and Tyler – Fort De Soto Engagement

January 31, 2017 Engagement, Tampa

I had such a wonderful time exploring Fort De Soto with the newly engaged Maria and Tyler! I love that they contacted me to schedule their engagement session just about a week after getting engaged in Mexico! That’s right, these two lovebirds got engaged on vacation in Cancun with Maria’s family right after Christmas. Such a gorgeous spot for Tyler to get down on one knee! I am so excited for Maria and Tyler (and their adorable puppy Brody!) and wish them the best as they plan their wedding in Indiana this fall. Enjoy their engagement photos!

Katie and Phil – Lange Farm Wedding, Dade City

January 26, 2017 Tampa, Wedding

I’m so excited to share our first wedding of 2017! Phil and Katie became husband and wife on Saturday at The Lange Farm and it was goorrrgeous! Their sweet first look, their ceremony under a huge tree, their supportive (and hilarious) bridal party, Katie’s beautiful bridal gown, and dancing late into the night created the perfect day! I first met Katie three years ago on our first day of pre-planning as Kindergarten teachers and I have adored her ever since. Katie is such a dedicated and creative teacher and she loves her Kinders so much! And Phil is the perfect match for her. It takes a special man to support and love a teacher. 😉 I’m so excited to share these images with you! We loved The Lange Farm and hope to get back there soon!

Hey world, GUESS WHAT?

January 16, 2017 Baby James, Maternity, Michelle and David, Personal

We’re having a BABY!! Our little family is growing and we can not wait to meet our little one in July! You’ve probably made your way here from one of our announcement posts and we are so excited to share more details with you!

In the Spring of 2016, David and I celebrated our 5 year wedding anniversary. We had experienced life and adventures in multiple different cities and were enjoying being back in Tampa again. The lease was ending on our apartment and we thought it was the right time to start house hunting. After searching online for months, we finally settled on a specific area, our budget, and style of home. Fortunately, our realtor found a house that met our criteria and suggested we take a look. We scheduled a tour on a Saturday morning and after walking through the front door, the first thing I saw was baby toys in the front room. I immediately teared up. I thought about how this could be the house that we make our own and where we might start our family. We toured the rest of the house and it was everything we wanted. We decided to put in an offer. It was accepted. And in July (two months later), we closed on our first home! (It was seriously the easiest house buying experience ever.) We really enjoyed moving from a one bedroom apartment to a 3/2 house where we have much more space and room to grow.

In August, David and I decided we were both ready to start trying for a baby. I turned 27 on the 27th and after that day, we both agreed and were excited to see what would come next. As we started the journey, we prayed for patience and trust in God’s timing.VIEW POST

Jessica and Matt – The Estate on the Halifax Wedding

January 4, 2017 Orlando, Wedding

estate on the halifax wedding

Jessica and Matt’s friendship started their junior year in high school. They were in next-door classrooms and because Jessica had a car (and her license), Matt asked if he could join her for lunch off campus. The rest is history. These high school sweethearts grew in their friendship and relationship over the next two years and through college where they both studied at East Carolina University (Matt in biology and Jessica in education). Sometime during their early dating years, Jessica and Matt made the connection that they went to the same elementary school and were in the same Kindergarten class! These two actually first met when they were little 5 year old cuties! I love that. Their love is strong and steadfast. They were fully supported by their family, friends, and loved ones as they said “I do” on a windy winter day on the East coast of Florida. Their wedding was a beautiful tropical theme with gorgeous flowers and surrounding palm trees. I loved the coordinating bridesmaid dresses and the unique groomsmen vests. The wedding team was phenomenal and put on a perfect event for these lovebirds. Jessica and Matt, we wish you many years of wedded joy and that your relationship continues to grow throughout the years. We have loved getting to know you and getting to be part of this special time in your life!

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.
