For the Love | Starbucks & Headshots

I’m on a mission. The mission is to become friends with more local photographers. Yep, I want to befriend the competition. Why? Because I don’t really think of it like that, of other photographers being my “competition.” Call me naïve, or a newbie who doesn’t know how these things work…that’s fine. Maybe I will learn [...]

Margaret, Richard & Barney | Thomas Center | Gainesville Photographer

Margaret and Richard are seriously the cutest couple. They contacted me after seeing Katie and David’s photos on Facebook (fist pump for social media marketing!), and we scheduled a shoot a mere 4 days later. Usually I schedule shoots a lot longer in advance, so I have a little time to get to know my [...]

Enid & Sophia Mini-Shoot | Gainesville Baby Photographer

Enid and Sophia were my last mini-shoot of the day, and we must have somehow gotten the timing perfect, because Sophia was a doll the ENTIRE shoot. Seriously…when you are doing photo shoots with babies, you anticipate a little fussing and crying…no big deal, it’s just how it usually goes. Sophia must be an angel [...]

Wacker Family Mini-Shoot | Gainesville Family Photographer

I LOVE this family! I did a shoot for them back in April, and we had so much fun. When they signed up for a Christmas mini-shoot, I knew it would be another afternoon of laughs and silly games…and I was right! We played redlight greenlight, chased each other around the Hipp courtyard like maniacs, and just [...]

Blakely Family Mini-Shoot | Gainesville Family Photographer

The Blakely family was my first Christmas card mini-shoot session of the season, and I couldn’t have kicked off the marathon of photo shoots any better! They showed up to the Hippodrome courtyard with smiles on their faces and a willingness to just go with the flow. It was our mission to find shade, since [...]

Boudoir Inspired

Today I’m doing a shoot that is going to push me creatively and pull me outside my comfort zone…and I couldn’t be more excited! I’m doing my first boudoir shoot today, and it’s going to be nothing short of epic. I won’t be posting all the photos on the blog, but I will definitely take [...]

Productivity & Project Runway

**Warning: Project Runway spoiler alert. I hate when people spoil shows for me, so heed my warning and don’t let me spoil it for you!** I always get the most work done on Thursday evenings. I come home from work, eat some dinner, and immediately plop down in front of the computer for a marathon [...]

Four Mini-Shoots. Two Days. One Big Dork.

I’m kiiiind of a huge dork… I won’t even go into all the ways I’m a dork right now, because it’s after 11pm and it would take me hours to exhaust that list, but I can tell you this–I am a major dork during photo shoots. Yep. You know those sweet natural smiles and belly [...]

Vickory Family Shoot | Historic Duck Pond Area | Gainesville, FL

The Vickory family is FABULOUS…for many reasons! First, they are insanely flexible. I had some circumstances outside of my control occur right before our morning shoot, and they were amazing and agreed to do the shoot that afternoon instead. I soo appreciated their flexibility, and I’m so glad we made the shoot happen despite everything working [...]

Polly & Gary | Hobby Hill Stables | Weirsdale, FL

Ok, so I promised I would tell you about one of the coolest parts of the day I spent with the Walkers and the Wimberlys…are you ready?? We were up on the hill getting shots of Gary and Polly with the horse and the airplane, and all of a sudden Gary is like…”You wanna go up [...]
