The Cool People

Next month Dina and Alex will be married officially for 10 years and to celebrate their union they will be having a vow-renewal ceremony... Wedding Style! When they got married 10 years ago all they had was their love, two wedding bands they got at a pawn shop and a Justice of the Peace Ceremony. That was it. So, three kids and ten years later they will have their first BIG wedding and they have asked me to be their photographer! Of course I am thrilled! We've been friends for years and I love them dearly. I could honestly say they have a love for each other that is not only real and true but beautiful and ever lasting! This love is for the record books!

I had the pleasure of shooting their "Engagement Session" a few weeks ago and here are a few pictures from that day! Special thanks to Crystal for helping with the hair, make-up and wardrobe! You did awesome girl!

To kick things off we started at the park and had some fun working the scenery!

Then we headed over to downtown Eau Gallie for our magazine style layout! If only D&G would sponsor Alex and Dina! LOL :)

As you can see they are officially "The Cool People"


Hope you loved them as much as I did!

Today is a spectacular day! One of my very best friends is turning 25! What can you really say about a friend who's been there for everything?! From bear claw rings, to Christmas diner dates, to monk bags, to Bank One, to Chase, to best friends, to my first willing photography model, to Two from Galilee, to Florida and back to Cambodia you've been there through it all! You believed in me and encouraged me from the start! I don't think I could be where I am today with out your love and support and even though we're oceans apart you're just as dear to my heart! I love you and miss you every day. I know God's got some amazing plans for both of our lives and I am so excited to see where he takes us! You are already an wonderful man of God I feel honored to call you my friend! Not only are you selflessly living your life for others and serving on the mission field in Cambodia but you're doing so with the biggest and warmest heart any one could ask for! Today you turn a quarter of a century a milestone in your life of many years to come. Happy Birthday my wonderful friend hope it was all you could ask for!

Dallas and Laurie : Wedding (Sneak Peak)

Their Bride and Groom introduction song was Thunderkiss 65 by White Zombie and to say that they were meant for each other would be an understatement! They both like hard rock, even though looking at Laurie you could never tell, and they love to laugh and have a good time, even though just looking at Dallas you might not know that, they are perfect for each other. I would even dare to say they are a match made in heaven complete with their own little angel; their daughter Summer. She has cute little chubby cheeks and beautiful red hair and although she ripped her dress hours before the wedding you couldn’t tell... probably because you couldn’t stop staring at her gorgeous blue eyes! What a beautiful wedding and a wonderful family! Well, I couldn’t wait any longer I just had to post some pictures up! So, here’s a sneak peak of their Wedding, don't worry though there’s lots more to come so stay tuned! Enjoy!

Kyla : Anytime

"Sugar and spice and everything nice" is the perfect description for sweet Kyla! A few weeks ago I had the honor of spending a few hours with a wonderful friend from work, Jessica, and her family! She asked me if I would be interested in taking a few shots of her daughter Kyla and of course I couldn't refuse! I've seen pictures of her and she is gorgeous! :) So as I was driving over to their house I couldn't help but wonder what the session would be like, how Kyla would respond to me and of course how the pictures were going to come out! But as soon as I got to their house and I could hear Kyla laughing in the background a peace came on me and I knew this was going to be a sweet session!

I started to get my camera out and taking a few test shots and there was Kyla running around the house stealing candy canes off the tree and eating them. I sat there for a second and I couldn't help but smile because you could see the love pouring out from Jessica and Scott for their daughter in their eyes. It is so refreshing to see honest love in a family. It doesn't matter if it's between a husband and wife or a mother and their daughter when it's genuine it is honest and pure and you can't hide it because it shines through their eyes! Sure things may be hard sometimes but it's real... and real love there is nothing like it!

Well, as you may have guessed the session went great! I had so much fun it's hard to describe in words how lovely Kyla is because she is so full of life! She is sweet and joyful and has endless energy with an innocence that would make your heart melt and a laugh as warm as Sunday afternoons. I really felt honored to get a chance to spend the afternoon with the Waymire Family and even if it was for a moment it was wonderful all the same. Thank you Jessica for allowing me to spend an afternoon with your precious family! So, here is a collection of my favorite pictures from two very wonderful sessions... I hope you all love them as much as I do.
