This was a destination wedding for Tori and Randy, so most of our communication was via email and phone calls throughout this past year.  Tori was such a sweetheart and I couldn't wait to finally meet them in person and photograph their lovely day!  I truly enjoyed not only this happy couple, but all their friends and relatives.  Everyone had a great time as they celebrated this marriage.  To Tori and Randi - all the best as you begin your lives together and enjoy the memory of this special day through these images.  Cheers!

Here's some food photography I did recently.  The background took forever to set up, but I really enjoyed working on it! It was funny the items I used to get that background effect ;) I'm not going to tell you though!

I've been dying to take wedding photos at Koreshan State Park, so when Andrea and Andy decided on this location I was ecstatic! There is so much variety at the park and it has such a lovely "old Florida" feel to it with the spanish moss, the river, etc.  It also has plenty of shade, which makes it a great location for summer portraits! We also decided to incorporate some studio shots.  Andy is in the Marines (obviously!) and is being stationed in Japan for the next three years, so we thought we'd include a little Japanese flair to the wedding pictures. I painted the Japanese symbol for LOVE on my backdrop...

We hit Fort Myers Beach for this Maternity photo session! It ended up being such a great spot for some fun prego pic's! Molly already is such an artsy person, so this seem to suit her perfectly! And once their precious baby girl was born, we spent a morning dressing up Lillian and taking photos!

Grace is such a happy baby! We took pictures for hours mainly because she let us! And apart from a short nap in the middle, she laughed pretty much the whole time, so cute!
