Say cheese... or woof.

In addition to being a photographer, I also am a pet sitter. I just finished up one of my pet sitting jobs this past Sunday, but before I did I had a little impromtu portrait session with the critters. The black dog is Fuji, the white one is Eiger and the kitty is Dagney. I love these guys.

Universal Fun

Last week UCF gave out free tickets to Islands of Adventure. Lewis and I both got one and we also added a Universal Studios ticket to that and spent last Friday at the parks. We had so much fun. Here are some photos from our day.

Stephanie & John's Wedding 3-22-08

Stephanie and John got married in a friend's backyard overlooking Lake Conway. We worried about the weather the entire day as it drizzled on and off, hoping that the rain would keep away until the reception was over since both that and the ceremony were outdoors. Luckily, it didn't rain on us during the ceremony or for most of the reception and their wedding was just lovely. I absolutely love the way their photos turned out. I haven't quite finished editing all of them yet, but here are a few that help tell the story of the day.

Getting her makeup done.


I love the silhouetted shot of Stephanie's dress.


She makes such a beautiful bride.


The girl's wanted a photo like from the movie "Runaway Bride", haha.


The groom and his guys.


The bride and her girls.


Stephanie was so giddy during the entire ceremony.


I just love the look on John's face as he sees Stephanie coming down the aisle.


I'm so glad the rain held off!


They did a sand covenant instead of the traditional unity candle. I think those are so cool.


Finally, married!


I love this one of them on the beach.


I think this is my favorite image of the day.


Having fun during the bride and groom session.


They made their exit down a dock onto a boat and sped off to their honeymoon. Congrats you two!

Deana & Joey's Wedding 2-16-08

I love the story of this event. Deana works with me at the office and she is such an awesome friend. She and her boyfriend Joey have a six year old, Isaiah and just had a baby girl Sofia last year. When the first of the year rolled around we made plans to shoot their portraits. A couple of days before our shoot we were discussing where to go and the time to shoot and etc and she said, "Oh, by the way, if we can find a notary, Joey and I might get married that day too." Well, being the wedding fanatic that I am, I wanted to make sure that happened! So, I called Lewis' mom (who just happens to be a notary) and asked her if she performed weddings. She had never done one before but was willing to do this one and after a few phone conversations she agreed! What started out as a day of family portraits turned into a wedding at Lake Eola. We had beautiful weather that day and the location of the gazebo made for a secluded and intimate ceremony. Little did I know when we first planned this day was that I would end up taking their true family portraits. Congratulations you guys, I am so happy for you!
