I love the simplicity of your compositions and light handed editing that truly complements your captures. Nice work.

So many smiling face, pretty much every photo is about the happiness that is making this day and that is great. Pretty cool photos.

Neal Family Sneak Peek – Jacksonville Portrait Photography

Friday, November 23, 2012

I had the opportunity to photography a family that is dear to my heart. The Neal’s serve at my church. My son and their son are best friends. We are all musicians. Needless to say, we have a lot in common and I always have a good time hanging out. My flow on a portrait session is to have fun. If you have fun, you look relaxed and happy. So, after we got all the shots we set out to shoot, it was time to have a little fun with some jump shots. Here’s our closing shot of the night.

Nicholas & Carolyn’s Jacksonville Zoo Wedding

Wednesday, October 24, 2012

We had such an amazing time at Nicholas and Carolyn’s Jacksonville Zoo wedding. They are such nice people. We felt like one of the family from the second we arrived. I always love shooting at the zoo. It’s probably the most difficult environment to shoot around Jacksonville, but I love the challenge and it’s just so… unique! We started a bit late due to the rain, but Carolyn made the call to stick with “Plan A” and have the wedding outdoors (good call!). It turned out to be a beautiful night. Congratulations to Nicholas and Carolyn!

Jennifer & Michael’s Jacksonville Engagement Portraits

Monday, October 22, 2012

It was a beautiful, yet humid evening when I met Jennifer and Michael at Alpine Groves Park for engagement portraits. I always have a great time wandering around the park getting to know my clients. There was a really small wedding going on while we were there. It looked very impromptu. I think there was about 5-6 people total, including the bride and groom. No wedding dress, just cute cowboy hats and boots. A couple igloo coolers for the reception after. It was cute.
