Certified Professional Photographer

So....I haven't posted anything to my blog is 5 months, yikes!  I'm definitely slacking on it and I have so many shoots I'm dying to get up here (and hopefully I will!). I never announced on here or my photography facebook page that my husband and I are expecting out first child in just a few weeks, yay!  We are super excited and have been busy the past few months getting ready for his (it's a boy!) arrival in March. I thought I'd kick off my blog again with the maternity photos I attempted to take of us a couple weeks ago.  I would definitely recommend you hire me to take them ;) and don't...

This couple made my job easy! Not only are they so incredible sweet together, they look like Barbie and Ken, but they were super comfortable posing in front of the camera for their engagement shoot. I photographed them last month when I was back in Florida. We covered a lot of grounds in the River District of Fort Myers, FL capturing their engagement pictures.  And we lucked out with some awesome natural lighting, thank you clouds! :) It was hard to narrow down my favorites engagement photos to put up here, so warning..there's a lot! Congratulations, Jianna and Matt...looking forward to your...

This little guy was absolutely adorable to photograph.  It did take a little convincing, a lot of bribery, and a smidge of trickery (hee, hee) to get him to agree to taking some photos (wait a minute, my husband's the same way...hmmmm), but in the end I feel as though we both won. :)  I got some cute kid portraits and he had a little fun (or at least I hope he did! haha). The weather is a bit chilly right now in January here in Wyoming, so we did opt for the studio on this particular day.  Thus, since we were in my studio, we had perfect lighting and the weather was ideal! ;-)  (The benefit...

If you know me, you know that I absolutely love the 6-9 month stage for baby pictures...they are sitting up, maybe crawling a little, but definitely not running yet! Plus it is a great age to venture outside with them and get some outdoor baby portraits. I loved photographing this sweet little munchkin...who has the most beautiful blue eyes!  We took photos of this baby girl and her family portraits near Cody and Powell, Wyoming off Chief Joseph Scenic Hwy.  Then ended with a few studio portraits here in Baby A's little cow costume, adorbs!  Although I'm not sure how much she enjoyed her little...

It's 2015 already!  Christmas is over :( and I'm seeing not much point to the snow anymore, haha!  But since it is here, I might as well stay warm inside and catch up on a little blogging. I'll start with this girl, my niece, who I've been photographing for 10+ years now, who still loves to challenge me when it comes to taking her pictures!  Haha...it has always been her idea vs. mine (she wins 90% of the time). :) She was our first official visitor out here in Wyoming and she got to stay with us for a couple weeks.  In addition to crafts, exploring, and four-wheeling, I talked her into doing...

I was so humbled and honored to receive once again "Wedding Photographer of the Year" as well as "Commercial Photographer of the Year" with the Professional Photographers of Southwest Florida and "Outstanding Service Award" with the Florida Professional Photographers.  This was my last year with the PPSWF and FPP since I've moved out west, so I'm happy to go out with a bang!  I told my husband I should get a REALLY big bonus now from my boss (yours truly) and my office Christmas party (consisting of me, the cat, and the dog) is going to be epic, Haha... He's not amused and probably really worried. ...

I finally got the results back from the competition I entered last month with my local photography guild back in Florida.   I’ve enjoyed being a part of the local SWFL chapter (Professional Photographers of Southwest Florida) of the PPA and FPP for the past 4 or 5 years. This year I served as the Vice President and Program Director, but now with my move to Wyoming, I will be stepping down. Being a part of this group has helped me in all areas of my photography business...but being a part of the competitions we held 3 times a year, definitely helped with me with my skill level. It also allowed...

Christmas is 89 days away!  Which means I get to start decorating next month (yes, I decorate super early!!!).  Which also means it is time to start thinking about your family portraits for the holidays! I just took some photos of my niece with all the fall foliage out here in Wyoming and Montana...so if you want those beautiful fall colors in your family portraits, RIGHT NOW is a great time!  If you want a snowy theme family photo, I have a feeling we only have to wait a week or two. ;)  We can also do studio portraits if you want to keep it inside. Having trouble figuring out what to wear? ...

So my husband and I have officially moved to northwest Wyoming!  I've been out here about a month, getting us moved into our new place and getting the lay of the land.  I must say, I'm in love.  It's amazing to walk out my front door and be surrounded by mountains.  A little different than Florida. ;) (My husband and me in our front yard) (Our dog Baylie isn't too excited about the scarf I made her wear, but despite that she does like it out here...my cat is another story) I got a chance to announce it on my facebook page, but didn't get to blog anything on here.  These past couple months...
