Engagement Session

When I got a phone call from Rick asking me to document the moment he was going to propose to his girlfriend, Ashley, I was ecstatic. How exciting! We set up a family "portrait" at Indian Rocks Beach and Ashley thought we were just taking pictures of them and Rick's son Bryce. I took some images before and then said Ashley, let's do something a little different. So I had her stand by herself and then added Rick into the picture having him get down on his knee. I said it was going to be very casual. I then decided I didn't like the way he was positioned so I made him move. Then I made him move again. I think I was more nervous than him. hah! Anyway, as he was asking her, his son Bryce started running for them. Thankfully Hank was there to scoop him up and keep him occupied while they were enjoying the moment. Ashley said yes, of course, and we took some more portraits afterwards. It was such a special moment and it was very special to me to be able to capture it with my camera.

The moment...

she said yes!

her ring is gorgeous!

sunset is always so beautiful, reminds me of everything I love about Florida

Bryce was shy at first but he quickly warmed up to the camera


isn't he a cutie?




this is a fun portrait




I like this quiet moment...


Congratulations Ashley and Rick!
