Miss Pre Teen Jacksonville Finalist


  Alena isn't just a pretty face. She is one of the most talented young girls I know. If only you could hear her sing! Alena has a voice of an angel. She recently competed in Miss Pre-Teen Jacksonville and was one of the finalist. With her all around great personality and smile I had not doubt she would make it in the top. Alena really did well during this session and I was extremely impressed with her ability to "talk" with her eyes. That isn't just something you can teach. She focused and you could tell she was a natural when in front of the camera. I hope to do more sessions with Ms. Alena. I also see a bright future for her! Great job Alena, and congrats on being a Miss Pre Teen Jacksonville Finalist!

The Batkoski's


  I had the honor of taking my best friends engagements pictures. Would you believe this was over 3 years ago? I guess you could say it was one of my first attempts at photography. I was so nervous but excited that she actually asked me to do it! She even used one of them for the guests to sign. Three years later and these two are in more love then the day I took these pictures. I am blessed to have them both in my life. I love you Brooke and Jason!

The Webers


  What a blast I had photographing this family of 6! No dull moments I can assure you. There were so many things going on, I was so worried I was going to miss something. I have to say that I saw true love in Andrea and Corey's eyes. They compliment each other so well. I felt honored to be a part of this special day capturing real moments of their everyday lives. The kids had a great time running around and being my little models. I think I enjoyed them even more! Thank you to the Webers for my first "big" family challenge!

Abby

   A day at the park with Abby! This little girl is a doll! I really should have more swing shots because that is what she loved to do, swing! She was a great sport with my camera in her face and the hot sun blazing down on us. She handled it all so well and the pictures turned out adorable! My vision is to capture candid moments like these. The simplest things like leaves or playing on the swings can make any child smile. I am so glad I was able to freeze these moments for ever.
