Realty at its finest: Justin
07.21.2010Portraits

So one of my Bucket List goals is to be on a Reality TV show (um, but it must be produced by Bravo, because theirs are the best ever! Markus and Indrani watch out!), and I’ve decided that if someone makes a reality show about me, Justin must be on it. I heart this guy! He’s funny, spunky and oh-so-adorable!

He’s a realtor in Orlando, and a past coworker of mine when I worked for Engle Homes. It’s been great to see him do his own thing, and I’m so proud of everything he’s got going on! I’m also super excited for Lindsey and Jason’s wedding in Longboat Key in October, because Justin is her Man of Honor and I hear he has a showstopping suit ;)

When Justin contacted me about doing his new headshots, we knew we had to push the envelope a little bit and do something dramatic and more fashion-y. We did some more traditional shots during the shoot, but of course I tend to love the more intense side of Justin!

‘Nuff said.

So here are my favorite shots from Justin’s shoot for his new Realtor marketing goodness!

Anne-Marie Sells!
07.21.2010Portraits

I love getting calls to do headshots from people who don’t want normal corporate headshots! Lately, I’ve gotten a few awesome Realtors who are looking to update their marketing and get some more non-traditional looking shots!

When Anne-Marie emailed me and told me she had more of an Anthropologie style and wanted to incorporate that in to her shoot, I knew we’d be a great match! We brought the talented Luisa V. in to do Anne-Marie’s hair and makeup so everything was perfectly put together!

Anne-Marie actually lives in my old neighborhood, and since she’s a Realtor in Oviedo, we actually knew a lot of the same people (since I used to work for a homebuilder in Orlando). She’s working on her new website, so I can’t wait to see how she incorporates some of our shots in to the site!

I wanted to share just a few of my favorite shots from our session!

  • Erin: Beautiful pics of a Beautiful Woman… Love them….
  • Adrianna: You look so beautiful in these pictures…you’re killin’ it giiiiiiirl….gorgeous outside (and inside too)!!! Love you!!!

The calmest shoot… ever
07.14.2010Portraits

Just wanted to post a quick little teaser from my shoot today! I’m always really excited to shoot something I’ve never shot before – and a top-floor yoga studio in downtown Orlando sounded like a dream!

We have so many amazing shots from Valerie’s shoot, but I just wanted to share a few before I head to bed! If you’re in to Yoga and Meditation, you definitely need to check out the OmLab!

This definitely won for my calmest shoot ever. Complete with great music, hot tea and a warm studio. Too bad I don’t know how to do Yoga :)

  • Rachel: BREATHTAKING.
  • Val: Thank you! They are beautiful!
  • Kristen Weaver: Thanks Kristina! Yes, all window light :) I’ll stick with natural light whenever possible, but this shoot just seemed to call for it!
  • Kristina Marshall: Amazing photos, as usual, Kristen! I must ask, what did you use for lighting? Is this all window light?
Nick and Nicole’s Day After Session
06.06.2010Bridal Portraits

Nick and Nicole got married back in January in West Palm Beach surrounded by friends, family and some serious weather! Although it made their wedding day memorable, it wasn’t exactly the best for photos. In fact, we got completely rained out of our plans to shoot their portraits at the amazing Flagler Museum on Palm Beach Island.

Since I had another wedding down in West Palm a few weeks ago, we got back together, put the dress and tux back on, and celebrated being newlyweds at a “Day After” session!

If you’re friends or family of Nick and Nicole, you can check out some of their other photos from their Engagement Session and Wedding Day.

Meet Melanie Pace
04.12.2010Portraits

Let’s talk about the cool people I know. (PS – this blog post has no educational value. But it’s my blog, and you’re visiting – so I get to do whatever I want!)

Melanie Pace. Stylist extraoirdinairre and overall cool person. Add “funnest fashionable friend….ever” to her list of accolades.

We make no sense. Really. We get together – and it’s this mass of confusion, laughter and odd looks.

So anyways! I “had” to do her new headshot today (to show off her killer brown hair), but not like it’s ever work when Melanie’s involved….

So who is she really?

This should just about sum it up. (these are animated, so if they’re not animating, refresh or let it load – cause your computer is slow)

No? Ok, well how about this one….

Ok and just to have a picture – here’s her final headshot:

  • Noelia Kline: I agree. She is gorgeous, and really sweet. You guys rocked it. Love the blog!
  • Molly Brown: Mini Fergi makes me SICK! Is she ever have an off day so I can know that this is not normal? MUAH!
  • April: Ok, you get the award for the funniest photographer and blogger. And Melanie is just too stink cute!!!
  • Michelle Guzman: LOL!!!!! HAHAHA! LOVE it! She looks gorgeous!
