Portrait Albums

Today I received these darling flushmount baby albums back from the printer and thought I’d post a few pictures for the moms out there curious about portrait albums. The colors shown are “rose” and “lilac”, but there are many other colors available. Please call about pricing since the price depends on the size and number of pages.

5 Things You May Not Know About Me

Ok. It’s kinda’ cheesy, but wedding photographers have a “game” that we play on each other’s blogs where we “tag” a blog and that person has to share 5 things about themselves that most people wouldn’t know. I was “tagged” in the comments section of the previous post by my friend and fellow wedding photographer, Melissa Posey. So, here goes…

1. My little brother and I share the same birthday only eight years apart. (March 5- for anyone that wants to buy me a present :) ).
2. I LOVE reality TV. Especially American Idol and Big Brother…and I’m not ashamed to admit it. (See previous post on the American Idol concert.)
3.I am 30 something, not 20 something. (Ok, the gray hair may have given that one away.)
4.I have Buzz Aldrin’s (2nd man on the moon) business card from my old job working in marketing at Kennedy Space Center.
5.I was the 2nd person on the block to have my Halloween decorations up this year. The first family has 2 kids. I have none, but I LOVE Halloween! Just wait until you see pics of my costume!

Gretchen and Matthew’s Wedding

I couldn’t wait to post images from Saturday’s wedding of Gretchen and Matthew! Both the ceremony and reception were held at The Turning Point at Calvary church in St. Augustine where Gretchen’s father is the pastor. So, as you can imagine, the day was filled with emotions as her own dad performed the marriage ceremony. Gretchen also sang a beautiful song she had written to Matt. What a tear jerker! Congratulations to you both for a beautiful event!

Erin-Senior Ambassador Class of 2008

On Friday, I had the 2nd senior from Stanton Prep HS come in for her senior photo session. Erin plays the guitar and hopes to be a teacher after college. Erin is a senior ambassador for me and will appear in upcoming ads and mailers as a student model. She’s a very sweet person. Thanks for coming in Erin!

Flushmount Album Design

I just had to share a few pages from a flushmount album design that I finished up today. This album is from the wedding of Krista and Stephen who’s wedding images were featured on my blog in June. Since Stephen is in the US Marines and red and black were the primary colors of the wedding, I used that as the starting point for the design. I also integrated a little hint of gold to contrast with the red like in Stephen’s uniform. This album design was elegant yet vibrant, just like their wedding.

Jason- Class of 2008- Senior Ambassador

Here are a few of my favorite images from Friday’s Senior session with Jason from Stanton Prep. Jason is my first Senior Ambassador which means he received a complimentary photo session and 100 wallets to give to his friends in exchange for being one of my new 2008 Senior models. Jason will also appear in ads promoting senior portraits. He is on the swim team at Stanton Prep and hopes to study science or math in college.

If you know a senior that may be a great model/Senior Ambassador please contact me ASAP. Only two ambassadors (one guy, one girl) from each school will be accepted. Ambassadors are accepted by referral only.

Coming Soon–New Website!

I’m super excited to finally announce that I will soon be launching a new website! I’ve been busy working on it to showcase my work in a fresh way. There will be lots of new images from weddings, engagements, kid and family sessions. The layout is clean and easy to navigate and will match the current color scheme of the blog. New websites are a labor of love (and sometimes frustration) so I hope that if you find anything quirky that you will let me know. Here’s a sneak peek at the homepage as it stands today.

Matthew Turns One

Recently, my friend Sally brought her son in for portraits to mark his first birthday. Matthew is a cutie pie and I really loved how he related to his mom. So, the black and white relationship portraits were a perfect way to capture his personality and the tenderness between a mother and first born. Plus, it’s a lot easier to keep a little one from running off if he’s in his mommy’s arms :) !

Operation Backpack-Big Success!

As I mentioned in a previous post, yesterday I was the Junior League Operation Backpack site coordinator for the Neptune Beach drop-off location at Kmart. So, I just wanted to leave a short post and let everyone know that it was huge success! Our site collected 143 backpacks in a 5 hour span! That’s 30 backpacks an hour or one donated every 2 minutes! We also collected gift cards for the children as well. And, my husband donated 50 tote bags.

We had volunteers from Junior League, First Coast News and Family Support Services helping out. Plus, the staff at Kmart did an excellent job promoting backpack sales inside the store. The officially tally hasn’t been released yet with the totals from the other locations, but when I left the Junior League house yesterday afternoon, it was packed to the brim! If you donated a backpack, your time or a giftcard, thanks so much! See you next year!
