{Janelle & Noël: Engaged}

My gorgeous and dear friend Janelle is engaged!
{I took family shots of her last year here.}
I'm so ecstatic for her, especially since her fiance Noël is equally as amazing as she is.

                               

Just look at these two.  Cuteness is oozing out all over this blog post.

I love it when couples laugh for a good majority of their photo sessions and this was no exception.

Can't wait for their big day!

Don't forget to book your session!  ALL photo sessions booked in 2012 are $55--this includes a photo disc with 20 edited, high-res photos.  (321)682-6017 

{ORTIZ FAMILY}

Last month, I got to practice maternity photography since I'll be having a little one of my own in six months.

Leonardo is so cute and I instantly fell in love.  We were there for a few hours and he was only a week old so he was still adjusting to light and didn't exactly enjoy when I would put him near their big window.  He's just the most precious thing.

{And like most babies, he's got his fair share of faces.}

Before Leo, there was just his mama and daddy... and here are some of my fave shots

captured from their maternity session awhile back:

Starting with their spur-of-the-moment Juno reenactment..

Complete.  Atleast for now. <3

{Hannah}

This is my dear friend Hannah. She has a big heart and a smile that is contagious. You can't help but to laugh when you're around her. We met in February when we were both cast in the musical the Marvelous Wonderettes here in Florida and we hit it off right away.

She's dramatic. And has many faces. That sums her up.

{JUNIPER & JOSH}

Out of the many shoots I had the honor of taking this summer,  Juniper and Josh's stood out from the rest.  It could have been the beautiful location, or the time of year for the leaves and grass to be in full bloom, but mostly it was the couple.  They showed up in the garments they wore to their "wedding" that took place in the same spot three years ago when it was just them and the officiant.  Their love for each other is so real and so pure.  The camera doesn't lie, friends.




I felt like I was in a fairytale land.

...And they lived happily ever after. ;)

{Pop Shop Summer Camp 2012}

Last week I came into the Pop Shop to do some photos of the Summer Camp.  All the kids were able to put on a rock concert in front of their peers so they each chose one song to perform.  There was also a live band there (who were totally awesome, by the way).  It was a fun shoot!  Here are some favorites:

Rock on!
