Orrie & Willie's Engagement Session - Jacksonville FL Wedding Photographer

It was a hot sunny Sunday afternoon during this gorgeous couple's engagement photo shoot at the Cummer Museum of Art and Gardens! It was my first time meeting Orrie and Willie at the session, and I had so much fun getting to know them :) I'm very happy that Orrie decided to get their pictures taken at the Cummer because it is very beautiful in there! It is so beautiful that there was another couple getting their engagement pictures done as well :) I personally think Orrie and Willie rocked theirs the best, though (but I could just be biased). Anyone can see how much they both love each other, and they made my "job" so easy! I'm sad that I'm already booked on their wedding day because I just know that Orrie will make a beautiful bride!! Nevertheless, I'm happy that I got to do their engagement pictures, and it is such a pleasure working with them :)

Congratulations, Orrie and Willie!! Thank you so much again for having me photograph your lovely photo session :) God bless!

XOXO

Inspire. Smart. Success. Experience.

This post is for all of my Florida wedding vendor friends :)


Wedding magazine, Get Married, former editor-in-chief, Stacie Francombe, is hosting an incredible event that is perfect for any wedding vendors out there who are ready for new business-branding! Get ready to be inspired and learn new directions that could be helpful with your business :) Stacie is a good friend of mine through Social Network, and you may remember me working with her for Get Married's national wedding contest. My pictures from the event can be seen everywhere in the media outlet--from online to TV news. Those same pictures were also featured on the Get Married's website for awhile and were even printed on the 2011 Spring issue of the magazine :) So thankful for that opportunity, and I am honored to share Stacie's event with you :)

I had a $30 coupon off a photo book from Shutterfly that is going to expire tomorrow. I never have time to sort out and even edit my own personal photos, so I'm glad this only took me 20 minutes to upload all the pictures I took from my point-&-shoot camera during our vacation in The Philippines and Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. It's cool how Shutterfly designs the album for me within seconds also. I barely posted any pictures from our vacations here on the blog nor on Facebook, so I figured I'll go ahead and share the album with you guys :) Yay!

Kris & Patti's Baby Summer Session - Jacksonville FL Family Photographer

Yay, it's such a treat to photograph this beautiful baby girl! She smiled and giggled for the most part of our photo session, and we even managed to have four different outfit changes! Typically, there are only two outfit changes in a session before the baby fusses and cries. Kris & Patti's baby did exactly the opposite, and she was quite a charming baby :) I'm so glad I get to photograph her for a year! I can't wait for our next one when she will be able to sit up and eventually walk by her 1st birthday :)

Enjoy!
XOXO

Mequel & Tom's Newborn Baby Photo Session - Jacksonville FL Family Photographer

I love how adorable this baby boy is! I am so glad that Mequel called me on a Sunday and told me that she just had a baby, and if we can do the photo-shoot the next day! Lucky for me, my afternoon schedule was open, and I was able to photograph this lovely family. It also happened to be Big Brother's birthday on that day, and he rocks for "putting up" with the photo session!

Congratulations, Mequel and Tom! Thank you for having me photograph your new bundle of joy :) I'm so happy that I get to photograph this baby boy for a year along with his cousin! Tom's sister, Patti, also had a baby several months ago, and I have the pleasure to photograph both families for the rest of the year :)

Enjoy!
XOXO
