Audrey and Nate E-Session!

November 22, 2008

I have the most amazing, fun clients ever.  Audrey and Nate are middle school sweethearts (awww!) getting married in January.  For their engagement session, we headed over to the beautiful Kanapaha Botanical Gardens.  I always tell my clients to choose a location that reflects their relationship.  You’ll see how well the beautiful gardens reflect their interactions below :)

1st Birthday Party!

November 9, 2008

I had the wonderful pleasure last weekend of photographing an adorable first birthday party in Satellite Beach, FL.

I first have to show some details of how incredibly creative their mother, Christy, is!  Look at their adorable party favors and handmade Castle cakes!

 We started off the day with a little walk on the beach.

Of course there was lots of play time on the playground and in the sand before getting to cake time…

 Grandma & our birthday girl (she saves that cute little grin for grandma only, it seems).

 At one point when it was raining, poor little Tony walked outside the pavilion and realized what was happening and started crying.  Here’s the rescue mission:

 My personal favorite, a warm moment with daddy:

Warning: TONS of images coming! I had so much fun going out with Lauren and Daren for their engagement session.  During our consultation, Lauren and her mother were coming up with so many fun ideas for the engagement session that I knew right then it would be 3 hours long and have multiple locations! 

We started off at their house with their two adorable pugs, Fudge and Olive.

After that, we left the adorable pugs and headed over to the University of Florida campus for some gorgeous images with the perfect golden hour light.  I LOVE Lauren’s gorgeous blue eyes!

 And of course, they had to get into UF gear and head over to the stadium.
