Best Friends | Winter Park Orlando Photographer

admin — Wed, 21 Jul 2010 13:45:20 +0000

I know this is a bold statement but I have to say it: This session truly is one of my favorites yet. Top 5 for sure.

I was a bit nervous going into it since for me, it was the first of its kind. Callie approached me forever ago when she found out her two best friends from her Warner University days were going to be in town. They wanted to do a session together and it sounded like fun so I naturally agreed. I knew there wouldn’t be kissing, staring, chasing or anything I’m used to so as time grew closer I wondered how it would all go down. Well world, when I got to Winter Park and saw these three girls- I almost jumped up and down. If you had told me 100x how beautiful, hilarious, fun and stylish this trio would be, I still wouldn’t have expected I’d get this lucky. I was like a kid on Christmas morning who just opened up a pony or something. We had so much fun and I am hoping that these girls won’t be afraid of me from now on. I am slightly obsessed with them now. Can you blame me?

Callie, Erin & Sondra, I love you.

hello ladies.

This frozen yogurt and berry treat was delicious. They even got one for me and Shannon <3. Thanks!

We also snapped a few with Erin & Sandra’s babes but I am saving those for a post of their own!

{LAURA LESLIE} | SOUTH FLORIDA PHOTOGRAPHER

It’s always an honor to be invited to photograph another photographer. Especially one of my SoFly buddies.

Laura Leslie was looking for some new imagery to use for her site and asked me if I would help her out.

So of course I knew this shoot had to be special. After lots of thinking I finally came up with a plan and send Laura a mile-long list of what we would need for her session.

And boy did she deliver!

On that note, this session is the first of a new type of session I am going to be offering. I don’t have all the details nailed down yet but stay tuned for that.

Laura and I had a splendid morning together and I couldn’t have asked for a beautiful girl to grace my camera.

Is she not stunning?

Happy Birthday Amy!

I hope your day is wonderful and I’m counting the hours until we can dig our toes into the warm sand again!

Thanks for being such a sweet friend and modeling for me!

Isn’t she gorgeous folks?!

{BARBIE’S COCKTAIL PARTY} | PALM BEACH WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

admin — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 15:10:10 +0000

I’d like to introduce you to my new friend Barbie.

Barbie is a wedding planner based out of Tampa, but she is also a native Palm Beacher so she makes it over to this coast quite a bit for weddings and parties. When we spoke about the PB little soiree she was throwing for her high school girlfriends I knew we would have a great time!

As expected Barbie did a beautiful job styling the evening and here are just a few of my fave shots.

How adorable is she? How adorable!

Barbie, thanks for inviting me to the party and those cupcakes were just divine!

This session was full of crazy challenges such as dark skies, pouring rain and grumpy police officers. But with the help of a gorgeous Amy, her sweet mom Charlene and my wonderful husband Dave, we pulled out all the stops and made this session a beautiful experience.

How beautiful is this girl?

Amy is an actress so she brought a long a few of her favorite toys. Girl’s got good taste!

{FEATURED} Mornings with Brant Hansen | South Florida Photographer

admin — Thu, 17 Sep 2009 13:58:13 +0000

Those of you who have been tracking with me for a while might remember a session I shot in May for Way FM’s new morning show site. The hosts, Brant, Nikki and Pablo were a complete blast to work with and I really enjoyed spending the day getting to know them. To see the session, just click here.

Well as a result, I am now one of Brant Hansen’s 5,002 facebook friends. So when I logged on this morning to collect my loads of fan mail I noticed that Brant had announced that his new site was live. So with excitement I clicked the link and was filled with pride and joy as my photos rolled across the screen. As a photographer there is no greater sense of fulfillment than seeing the final product of all of your hard work beautifully showcased. So for that I’d like to thank Chris Nielsen’s fabulous team at CSNglobal and of course the three charming hosts of “Mornings with Brant Hansen”. It really is a fantastic site and I can tell you, since I was present for a tiny bit of the planning, that this site is not live to glorify the hosts, CSN global or even me. Just click through the pages and you will see that it is about so much more than a guy who looks like Uncle Jesse and his two silly sidekicks. The true intention of this site is to reach people with the message of Jesus. So check it out .

And just for fun, here is one of my favorite shots of Brant Hansen from the session.

{SOFLY FUN} in the rain | JUPITER PHOTOGRAPHER

admin — Fri, 04 Sep 2009 16:15:38 +0000

I would normally start gushing about all the fun we had month’s SoFly meetup but I am in a scurry of a hurry this morning so I will have to refrain. But what I will tell you is that these models worked it. The photographers worked it to. I saw girls on the ground in the rain doing things I never thought photographers would do. I saw steam coming off these models as they effortlessly charmed our lenses with their style and beauty. Like I said, short on time so here are just a few:

First Mackenzie with some gorgeous glam:

Next the super exotic Burcin:

And last, the perfectly pretty Amanda:

Real certificates on real paper. I have been wanting to make these available for a year now and yes, I have done a few but they weren’t this pretty. And you should know that these make incredible gifts. I know, I would say that right? Of course, but I’m serious. But in case you need help thinking of ways to wow your loved ones, here are a few to consider:

JL Photography gift certificates come in any denomination over $50 and are…

* Printed on 100% recycled paper
* A fresh and lovely engagement/wedding gift

* An already wrapped, easy-to-ship holiday gift
* Something any parent would adore
* A great way to get in good with your boss

And to prove to you how super excited I am about this I am having a contest. Yep, my first one.

All you have to do to enter is leave a comment below with how you would use this little treasure for yourself or someone you love. And people, don’t feel bad saying you want it all to yourself, it’s only natural. The most fun and creative response will win a $100 gift certificate to do with what they please! Yep, this is big time folks. So leave a comment and tell your friends. I will announce the lucky guy or gal on the blog by September 3rd. So stay tuned and make sure you leave a valid email address with your comment so I can contact you when you win!

And just to ignite the flame of desire here they are.

AND THE WINNER OF THE $100 JL GIFT CERTIFICATE FOR THE MOST CREATIVE RESPONSE IS….drumroll….well wait.

First I want to say that you guys did not make this easy for me. Some of your responses made me laugh, really hard. Some made me cry and all of them made me fall more in love with what I do. I truly enjoyed reading all of that ways that you would invite me into your lives and wish I could give everyone the prize. Especially those of you who really tugged on my heartstrings. I seriously thought of splitting it. But I want to be true to my word and give one winner the prize I promised, the prize that would be won by posting the most creative comment on how the gift certificate would be used.

The prize is going to someone who thought of a totally new idea for a shoot. Something I have never done but always wanted to. Something that marries two of my passions into one. Being on the water and of course, photography. So the winner is…..Melissa Pierce! Melissa will receive the $100 gift certificate toward a photographic boating adventure on the water.

BUT WAIT, because you guys really gave your comments some thought I want to offer something to all of the contestants. Everyone who entered will receive a free 8×10 print of your choice from your next session. Or, it can be included with your purchase of one of these sought after gift certificates. So thanks for playing and see ya soon!
