Meet little Ella. She's adorable and it was a treat to photograph her in one of my favorite places – the Binz Building, home of
Interior Consignments. Ella wasn't happy for all the clicks, but I loved her little crying face. Big thank you to Daina for allowing me to use this wonderful space and Emily for having such a cutie.

It was such a pleasure to photograph our friend’s Gina and Corey’s wedding. We were there for the surprise proposal, engagement sessions and now for the big day! Gina looked absolutely stunning as did her bridesmaids. Corey and the guys didn’t look too bad either. There were lots of friends and family that participated in the wedding and it was a wonderful day. Congratulations, love you guys!

I photographed Jena's brother Matt a few years ago. He was one of the first seniors I had the opportunity to work with. Jena has such a classic look and her personality comes through in her portraits.

After photographing Nicole and Corey’s engagement session, we new they would be a lot of fun to photograph on their wedding day. And when they mentioned it was going to be a Florida Gator themed wedding, we new it was going to be much more than just a wedding, but a big party! Nicole looked beautiful with her simple gown. The flowers were beautiful and this beach wedding had plenty of blue and orange. From their two dogs acting as ring bearers, to the release of doves during the ceremony, we were not surprised in the least when they drove off in a trolley to celebrate into the night. Thank you to both Nicole and Corey for having us there to capture this special day. Congratulations!!

If you haven’t heard of Pure – a salon & boutique or Interior Consignments, you really need to check them both out. Pure, located in south Sarasota, provides innovative hair design, professional nail & waxing services and has unique and inspired gift & clothing items. Interior Consignments (formerly Unlimited Resources) is located in the 1926 Historic Binz building. Whether you’re looking for that one “special” piece to finish a room or a unique chair, table or complete bedroom suite, Interior Consignments has a fantastic selection of “Pre-Loved” Estate Furniture. This was the location of our photo shoot and provided a variety of backgrounds and textures. A big thank you to the staff of Interior Consignments for allowing us to take over the building all day during business hours. The buzz among patrons was positive and they enjoyed watching as we moved from location to location within the 12,000sqft space. Thank you to the staff of Pure: Nikki, Kim, Heidi, Nicole and Heather for providing the hair, makeup and styling. Also thank you to Tamara for providing snacks, moving furniture and assisting through the day. It was a pleasure to work with all of you and of course our models… Jen, Chelsea, Nicole, Gabe and Casey. Here’s a sneak peak at some of the images from the day.

Our friends Chris and Sarah had their second little girl, Annika, and we were asked to photograph her just a day or two out of the hospital. What a little cutie and a great addition to the family. Congrats guys and thanks for allowing us to be a part of this special time.

When my friend Lauren, makeup artist extraordinare, asked me about doing this project… I was totally in. I love being able to incorporate my graphic design background and this was one of those times. This was a Christmas present for boyfriend Christopher… who absolutely loved it. I’m curious to see if this will turn into a tattoo design? Thanks Lauren for a fun shoot and project.

Meet Kipton Joseph Brown! He was born December 10, 2009, to my best friend Charlie and his wife Sarah. We had been “on call” for about a week and got the “call” on Thursday night that their precious little boy was born. It was a hard day or two not being able to meet him in person. When we finally did, you can see why we fell in love with this little guy. It was more than an honor to be able to photograph Kipton, and his parents for their first, of many, photo sessions. Congrats and good luck to the Brown family. We love you guys and look forward to watching Kipton grow up!
