Gift Certificates!!!

Due to a high demand, I recently added gift certificates to my list of services. Please holler at me if you would like one as a gift, for your neighbor, for yourself, for anyone! They can be used for print credits, portrait sessions, bridal sessions, the sky's the limit. 



Thanks!

Blowing up with posts

Soo, I'm working on a new blog. I have found a wonderful blog company that allows me more control over the design of my blog. I'm currently in grad school learning such things and plan on using them fully. So, watch out in the coming months because I'm going to be rocking this blog out!

For now, here's a teaser for a wedding that I shot in Chicago at the beginning of my quarter. It's late because blogging has taken a backseat to shooting weddings and school. 

Here's Adrienne looking lovely on her special day!

Thanks!

Almost There!

I've been a bad blogger. As many of my clients know, I decided to go back to school this year. I'm currently living in Ohio going to Ohio University. I've been here studying multimedia. I've been taking classes in video, web design, as well as other classes. It's been an amazing experience. I'm learning so much and I'm so of much I'm enjoying it. 

One of the things I've been looking forward to is to add these new skills to my business. The video part is a big one. I'm not ready to personally videotape weddings, but we'll see how long that will take me to get ready for :)

I've also been incredibly busy this wedding season. I have several weddings to blog as well as some other things. I'm also looking forward to my winter break which starts late next week. I'll immediately be working none stop on album designs. 

I've been very fortunate to be able to photograph weddings while I've been here in Ohio. I've had to be selective on the weddings I've been taking during this time, and I look forward to sharing those special days with you. 

Thanks so much for your patience!

Here's a family portrait from when my husband's family came up to visit.

Thanks!

Boudoir!

I had my first boudoir shoot in August for a client who is getting married soon. I promised her anonymity so I'm not going to write her name on here. She doesn't want her future husband to know until their wedding day when she plans on presenting him with a custom made album of her images. I can't wait to design the album for her! Here are the images...her body is killer. I think she's awesome to show it off like this in such a tasteful way!





Thanks!

Marie and Michael's Wedding

I'm a bit behind on blogging but I have tons to share. First off, I have to blog about a wedding that I shot this past spring for Michael and Marie. They were married in Tampa and had their reception at the Kapok Tree in Clearwater. It was a lovely day! I am currently finishing up Marie and Michael's wedding albums and am just soo excited to give them to them. I also have to give a shout out to Christine DeLessio, who I worked with that day. Please check back because I have several exciting blogs to share!













Thanks!

Alley, Clark, and Greiwe

Last week before I headed out of town, I did a shoot for an attorney group called Alley, Clark, and Greiwe. We did some professional headshots and a nice group portrait. The images haven't been posted to their site yet, but you can check out their website here.



Thanks!

A Great Read!

A client of mine, Monique Fields, recently wrote an article entitled "Black Like Mommy, White Like Me" for an online publication, The Root. Monique's article is about raising children in an interracial family and what that experience is like. It's a wonderful article, and very eye opening to the experience of Monique's daughter, Simone, and what lies ahead for Nadia, her younger daughter. 

Monique is such a gifted writer and such a wonderful mother. We met while working together eight years ago working for the St. Petersburg Times, and when Monique started having children, she hired me for their family portraits. I took the portrait used in the article during our last session before her family moved to Alabama. Congrats Monique!!!

 

Thanks!
