Emily's senior session

Emily-Senior portrait session, Gamble plantation, Ellenton Florida

Emily  is beautiful inside and out!  Such a pleasure to photograph. I was overwhelmed and overjoyed with this session.  The most difficult part of this session was deciding which photos to post.

Brooke & Rick

Siesta Key Beach wedding

After I photographed her family a number of years ago Margie couldn't wait to call to book me for her daughter Brooke's wedding. I was delighted to hear from an old client, as it means the world to me when someone considers me their go to photographer. How lucky they were to narrowly miss the rain that beautiful spring day.  it rained just before the wedding.  Then as we were taking photos of the bridal party the clouds were creeping in.  Just as we were finishing up the clouds unleashed.  Thankfully the bride and groom made it to cover before they got wet.  Me on the other hand, I wasn't so lucky. The clouds made for a beautiful sky and the couple made for a beautiful wedding.

Family Vacation on Anna Maria Island

I have to mention that I am blessed to live just a stone’s throw from some of the most beautiful beaches in the world?  Our white sugar sand, turquoise water and friendly relaxed island is one of the best places for a family vacation.  What better time to take a little time for a family photo session?  One of my favorite spots to shoot has some knocked down trees that add a dimension of beauty and texture to the old family beach portrait.  Tie that in with a gorgeous family vacationing from Illinois (a place near and dear to my heart as I entered the planet there) and voila!  A fantastic family session for sure!

The way we became a family...
