Senior Portrait Destin Photographer

I met Ashlyn when she was about 8yrs old and now she is graduating high school! Let me fill you in on how opposite she is from a lot of teenagers her age. :) Ashlyn has always been pretty mature for her age and has always been super helpful with her little brother. Sometimes it’s hard to entertain your little brother or take him around places, but she has a very motherly instinct and wouldn’t have it any other way. She is super responsible and makes her parents very proud. Ashlyn also participates on a regular basis with the children’s ministry at the church and that again is a rare thing because I don’t even wanna hang out with kids that much.lol SOOOO….yea…she really deserves a lot of fun shoots to mark this special time in her life. She will be off to college before we all know it and greatly missed.

This is the first part of her session…we have some great stuff planned after I birth this child. I see lots of mud and trucks involved in my future. ;) I haven’t really been “mudding” before so this should be interesting..I am sure I will have a blog post about it and some crazy photos to put up when were done. Enjoy the slide show! :)

PS. Can ANYONE in the family…Tell me where the heck she gets that cute smirk of hers? I had to break her of it several times.lol I added one of those photos to the slide show..I am sure she will love me for it…pitty she chose me to do her portraits..I can do whatever I want..mwahahaha!

Jordan and Annalisa Florida Wedding Photographer

Jordan and Annalisa …Married!

I met Jordan and Annalisa a few months back through my very good friend.  My friend has a way of convincing me to do just about anything for her and it just so happens Jordan is her brother-in-law and she decided to give them an extremely generous gift…me….just messing…she hired me to shoot their wedding. :)  So.. I was 7mths pregnant photographing this wedding on a Friday in August…I was pretty much not taking a whole lot of work because of the heat and my beautiful figure was ever so changing. ;)  Of course getting to know these two made it all worth it.

 Jordan is going into the military soon and they wanted to be able to get married in front of all of their friends and family.  Everything took place inside which was great because of the heat. ;)    Annalisa wore a beautiful gown and for her something old she wore her grandmothers pearls…which was such a beautiful moment for her grandmother to help her put them on.  Of course any wedding day can be a little hectic, but Annalisa kept her calm and of course Jordan like most grooms didn’t let it phase him a bit. These two are very relaxed and comfortable with one another…almost seasoned pros at this whole being together forever business. ;)

The rain would come and go so we had very little time to take photos of just the two of them. We decided that we would meet up when they got back from their honeymoon to do a session.  I have included a few highlights from the wedding and the awesome session we had after.To Jordan and Annalisa…May every day you spend together be even better than the last. Congrats!

Andy and Tamara Destin Wedding Photographer

You might remember this wild and crazy couple from an engagment session I did a few months back. WELL, guess what?! Hooray! Andy and Tamara are now married and it was an awesome day! Every little detail was sassy and fabulous! From the hot pink tulle dresses with super sassy converses for the beautiful flower girls to the pink feathers in Tamara’s birdcage veil. Yes, birdcage veils are my fave and I totally could have danced a little jig over it. :) The day was so stress free compared to most weddings and it was just  one great big celebration! I couldn’t have asked for a better couple to work with and I just felt so honored to capture those moments for them. I love capturing how much fun everyone had and Andy can’t be too serious… so you will see his awesome humor through these photos and Tamara’s sassyness. ;) Well, I won’t write a book,but I will let my little slideshow tell you their story. ;)

Her Journey…. Florida Photographer

Recenlty I was honored to photograph a  beautiful woman of God.  Dianne needed headshots for her blog and business cards.  I was happy to help and we had so much fun!   Aside from writing her blog and being VERY active in the different ministries at church..she is just a sassy gal who loves the finer things in life and knows how to put an outfit together! It is comforting to know that you are exactly where God wants you and I understand her passion for fufilling His purpose. She is such a talented writer  and she is the first to give God all the glory for that and I admire her greatly. Please go check out her blog!

A Love Story Destin Photographer

I love these photos. I love this couple. :) David and Beth have been married for 12 yrs and they wanted an anniversary session. If you saw the lovely photos from their wedding…you would understand. :P I love it. They were so young and cute…they still are…just much more fashionable now. :) They know I couldn’t write this blog without commenting on their old wedding photos.

A little bit about these two crazy kids…David is my personal one man geek squad if that’s possible and the one person who probably comments on every single blog. :) He is a very encouraging person and his family I am sure feel very blessed to have him around..for the most part. ;) Beth is a super talented woman who makes killer cakes and her chocolate frosting puts me in a sugar coma, but I can’t resist it.  She will have a bakery up in the next few years so you know I will be raving about it when it happens..for now email me if you want an awesome cake for a birthday or special occasion and I will pass your info along. These two crazy kids have 4 kids….need I say more…they needed a day of just the two of them enjoying each other. It was an honor to share in this special time with them and Beth gave David a really nice wedding band to replace his old one too.  Also a little kid was having a birthday on the beach as we were leaving and she was turning 12…strange huh. Crazy stuff!

Sooo…if you have tacky wedding photos and want to retake some fabulous anniversary photos…contact me. :) We will have a blast and yes I might make you jump in the water. ;)
