Katie and John's Engagement Session

Katie and John are getting hitched this weekend in Melbourne Beach!!!!!!!!!!!! I met this couple a few years ago at another wedding I had photographed. They are such a sweet, loving, Southern and down to Earth kind of couple. Their love is infectious as they laughed and smiled away without me telling them to do so! Their shoot was taken in Melbourne Beach as the sun was setting away with pink and orange hues in the sky. I had backup to say the least; the bride's future sister in law was in attendance which was a great help as she assisted me with lighting equipment. Katie.....such a sweet and gentle soul and John...such a Southern gentlemen......there is no doubt they're a perfect match for each other! I look forward to documenting your wedding this weekend! Thank you for the laughs and chilly weather!! xxxooo

Balloons of Fun!!!

Last week I had the pleasure to spend some time with the cutest brother and sister along with their family in Cocoa Beach.  This particular family visits me once a year and I'm privileged enough to have watch them grow over the last 3 years!  Sweet Avery and handsome Grant.....can I say "cuteness overload"?????  I was having the best time playing around with these two sweeties -- even better that my child is around their ages, so I felt right at home. The whole family was involved in all of the fun including Grandparents and Mom! Lots of love, hugs, cuddles and kisses were shared ---- which I absolutely love the most about capturing family portraits. I look forward to see the family again next year and making new memories!!!

Jessica + Matt's Sunset Engagement Session

Jessica and Matt's engagement session was taken at the Jetty Park in Port Canaveral; the location provided beautiful white sand, lush sand dunes and oh so romantic rocks that lined the inlet. The engaged couple are planning a destination wedding in Melbourne later this summer as they both live out of state so their time visiting with me was limited as so was the cooperation of the rainy weather! Luckily we held out for our last available day and I'm so glad we did because I couldn't of asked for a vibrant sunset overlooking the inlet. Jessica and Matt, both affectionate, loveable and couldn't keep their paws off each other as I'm sure they can't wait to tie the knot soon enough! Thank you both for a fun engagement session and I look forward to seeing you both in just a few months.

The Craig Family Session

The Craig family has returned for their 3rd annual family portrait session; its always a pleasure visiting with them especially watching Sierra grow up! I think Sierra has grown at least 12 inches since I've last seen her and what a spunky personality she has :+)  Of course, spending time with lovable Judi and Jim-couldn't have asked for better company. Last but not least...Lisa, looks amazing and had a sparkle in her eye-she had wonderful news to share and I'm so happy for her! I will miss you all and look forward to next summer!

Summer time is for lovers....

It was another hot summer day at the Cocoa Beach Pier in July while Coronas and Pina colodas were the preferred choice of beverage. I've had the opportunity to share a Sunday evening with Chrissy and Brian while they had a break away from the Fire Dept, Hospital and 3 kids!!! The couple has just shared their 5 yr wedding anniversary and wanted to treat themselves to a couple's portrait session. Needless to say.....the sun was competing for what was hotter: the heat or their romance??? There were soo many images that I couldn't bear to leave out, so this blog contains a bit more images than I would of liked, but who's counting, right??

Thank you for a wonderful portrait session!!

Congratulations to you both and wishing you many more years of happiness :+)

Cocoa Beach Family Fun

I was joined by three generations as we shared a beautiful evening at Lori Wilson Park in Cocoa Beach, Florida on May 15th, 2010. The grandchildren and parents traveled from Texas to visit their parents who reside in Brevard County. The two little beauties, Avery and Grant have the sweetest eyes any parent couldn't resist smiling at; so much fun those two were!! And there is Grandpa Jim....him and I shared so many laughs and jokes that by the end of the session, my mouth hurt from smiling so much. Thank you all for a wonderful evening full of laughs and smiles! I look foward to seeing you all again soon :+)
