Brittany and Ash celebrated their wedding with their closest friends and family at the Enzian Theater in Orlando on Cinco de Mayo! David and I had so much fun shooting this wedding. It helped that we knew the bride and some of the guests from high school. The maid of honor, Danielle, was my best friend in elementary school! It’s always fun to capture such important moments for people that we know and care about. It’s such a privilege to photograph weddings! The joy, emotion, and excitement of weddings can’t be beat by anything else. Brittany and Ash, thank you for allowing us to capture your special day. We loved every minute of it!

Caitlyn and Will- Philippe Park Engagement
Last Sunday, David and I packed our gear in the car and hit the road to Tampa. Before meeting Caitlyn and Will for their engagement shoot, we spent a couple hours apartment hunting in Tampa. We will be moving there in early August and wanted to secure housing sooner rather than later. Our apartment hunt was a bit like Goldilocks: the first place was really nice but too expensive, the second place was a great price but felt very old and dirty, the third place felt just right! Only minutes away from David’s new job, in a beautiful neighborhood, in walking distance to a Publix (I love pub!), and affordable. We felt great as we left our maybe new home and drove over to Philippe Park in Safety Harbor to meet Caitlyn and Will. This beautiful park was only a few minutes away and made us even more excited to become Tampa residents. We explored this beautiful park with our sweet couple and had so much fun together! We started the session with Cait and Will’s adorable son, Weston, and then he went off on a playground adventure with his grandma. 🙂 Enjoy Cait and Will’s engagement session!! Can’t wait for their wedding in October!!
Natalie and Travis- Orlando Wedding
I am so excited to share this lovely wedding with you! Natalie was such a FUN bride! We were laughing and having fun the whole day. I hope you enjoy their beautiful First Look pictures at Kraft Azalea Park. It was SO windy and cold that afternoon but we still got some great shots!
To my Valentine…
My sweet David,
Happy Valentine’s Day! You have encouraged, loved, and protected me so well. You are patient, kind, and selfless. Thank you for pursuing my young heart more than 8 years ago. I love that our dreams have become reality and that even bigger things are coming. Thank you for being my life and business partner and for taking on all kinds of challenges with me.

Kerem and Luke Boden- Winter Park Engagement
As a photographer, it makes my heart so happy to scroll through my photos after a session and feel my smile get bigger and bigger. Kerem and Luke’s engagement session did just that. Their love is contagious! They were laughing the whole time. Kerem is a nursing student at UCF and Luke is a professional soccer player (from Britain!) on the Orlando City Soccer Club. They first met after one of Luke’s soccer games because Kerem thought Luke was so cute and she just had to meet him! And now here they are, engaged to be married!! Such a sweet love story. Enjoy these photos taken at the beautiful Kraft Azaela Garden in Winter Park.
Stoker Family: Orlando
I have to admit that I married into such a loving, kind, and accepting family. My in-laws are the best! Tim and Jan are parents to Katie, David, Emily, and Hannah. Katie and her husband, Nic, got married in June 2009 and now live in Wisconsin. We miss them so much! Fortunately, they flew to Orlando in mid-January for a late Christmas celebration. While they were in town, we had the whole family together and took the opportunity to take some family pictures at Blanchard Park.
Megan and Doug – Orlando Engagement
Despite the gloomy weather, this engagement session was perfect. Megan and Doug are young, gorgeous, and so in love! They had so much fun together and were constantly laughing with each other. Megan is a elementary-school teacher and Doug is an engineer in Orlando. In August, you can find these two tying the knot with their closest friends…. in Vegas!! They are going to have FUN! Enjoy their engagement pictures taken in Avalon Park.
Carissa – Orlando Expecting Portraits
This beautiful lady is my older sister, Carissa. The adorable little one is my niece, Faith. Carissa is expecting baby #2 in early March. We spent a Friday afternoon capturing her growing belly and our growing family. If you can’t tell from the pink clothes, baby #2 is going to be a GIRL! A sweet new baby girl to join our family and a new baby sister for Faith. We are all so excited to meet her in just a few weeks!! I can’t wait to take some newborn pictures of her! Enjoy these pictures of Carissa.
Kara and John- Jack Daniels Fort Myers Wedding
If you could rewind time back to 2003, you’d find two best friends taking on the journey of high school together, staying up late at sleepovers, and exchanging notes between class. Kara and I met and instantly became close friends over ten years ago. We have so many great memories together, it is so fun to think back on! Sweet Kara moved away from Orlando to Fort Myers after high school to attend FGCU. She loved it so much that she became a permanent resident after graduation. Fortunately, Kara met her soul mate in her new home. Kara and John met in one of their classes at FGCU and instantly clicked. Their love story continued and eventually led to a proposal, months of planning, and a gorgeous wedding on January 5th. I was able to attend this wedding as a guest but Kara asked if I could bring my camera along to snap a couple detail shots of their reception. I happily agreed and am excited to show you some of Kara and John’s wedding details! Their theme was Jack Daniels and the dress was casual… the groom + groomsmen wore jeans and boots! Love it!!
