I love when photography allows me to reconnect to old friends. I met Katie in college at UCF in a teaching math class and she always had a smile on her face! Fast forward a few years and I was able to see Katie’s smile grow even bigger while taking her engagement photos at Kraft Azalea Gardens. Katie and Ryan, your love and joy is contagious and photographing you was just so easy. We can’t wait to photograph your wedding in April!
Kelly and Eric – Kraft Azalea Gardens, Orlando Engagement
I am always so honored when friends ask me to photograph big life moments, such as their engagement session! David and I have been friends with Eric for years (he is such a good guy!) and we are so happy to see him so happy with his beautiful bride-to-be. Eric and Kelly are getting married in Winter Park in May and very recently just bought their first house! These two are doing big things! On their wedding day, I will be leaving my camera at home and will be enjoying their wedding as a guest… can’t wait! Eric and Kelly, wishing you many years of wedded bliss!
Briana, Paige, and Tim – Orlando Newborn
One of my greatest memories from college is joining Sigma Phi Lambda, the Christian sorority at UCF. The very first person I met was Paige, who just happened to become my Big Sister months later. My favorite things about Paige are that she is so compassionate and kind. She loves well. She makes my heart feel happy when we spend time together. It has been such a joy to watch Paige fall in love with her college sweetheart, Tim, and get married and start their family. They welcomed their sweet baby girl into the world on August 16th and they couldn’t be happier. I got to meet little Briana Michelle just 6 days after she entered this world and I think she is the most darling, squishiest, precious little baby – and I LOVE that her sweet parents wanted us to share our name.
I really love these types of sessions – relaxed, slow-paced, full of love (and tears, poop, milk breaks) but I mostly love that it’s in the comfort of their home. This is where little Briana will call home. This is where she will rest her head at night. This is where she will learn to crawl, walk, and run. This is where she will feel most safe. Paige and Tim, I hope that you treasure these photos for many years and that one day, little Bri will see how much she was loved from her very first days.

Courtney and Tim – San Clemente, California Portraits
David grew up in sunny Huntington Beach, California until he moved to Orlando around 5th grade. Growing up, David spent his days playing outside and at school with his best friend Timothy. It was such a sad day when David’s family drove towards the East Coast and he had to say goodbye to his little buddy. Fast forward twenty years and here we are – both guys are married and in their mid 20s! Tim and his beautiful wife, Courtney, live in San Clemente, California and have been married for two and a half years. We’ve met up with them a handful of times over the past few years, including a freezing January day in NYC. This time, we spent the evening with them exploring Southern California and walking along the gorgeous beach. I have always wanted to photograph on the West Coast and these two lovebirds were happy to model for me! Tim and Courtney, your love is gentle, kind, and enduring. It is always a joy spending time with both of you. Happy two and a half years!

Krissi and Simone – Milan, Italy Portraits
My new friend, her Italian boyfriend, red wine, and Milan’s biggest park was the perfect mix for this session. I met Krissi a few weeks after moving to Milan through an expat Facebook group. We met for cappuccinos and instantly hit it off. For the following months, we adventured through Milan together and took each other to our favorite spots. She kept telling me about her Italian boyfriend, Simone, and how she would spend the weekends with him and his family. She told me stories of how they met through an Italian exchange student that stayed with her family in high school. After talking on the phone and video chatting, Simone flew to America to meet Krissi and her family. It was definitely love at first sight… they’ve been together ever since! After dating long distance, Krissi decided to move to Milan to work as an au pair and to be closer to Simone. Now, they are doing life together in Italy. I love it!
I hope you enjoy these photos of my favorite American and Italian couple at Parco Sempione in Milan, Italy.
