Celebration, FL.

Can I just take a quick second and brag about how I seriously have the most gorgeous couples that ask me to take their photos? I think I’m the luckiest photographer in Orlando! When you get couples like Faye and Derek, it’s not too difficult to catch the sweetest little moments! I’m really glad they chose Celebration for their session, because there’s so many adorable little nooks and crannies. I think this may have been my fourth couples session that I’ve shot there, so I had to steer clear of some of the usual suspects and give them some original places that they can call their own…. and that they did! I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone make mulch look so good

And PS – I really do have pictures where they’re not making out …. but those sweet little romantic moments are always my favorite to capture! They’re just too cute together!

Here are the teasers from Faye and Derek’s Celebration, FL couples session!

After a couple quick shots outside, we decided to jump over to the Celebration Hotel.

Gotta love a sexy elevator moment…

So guess what I got in my email today!?

Lindsey and Jason’s Celebration Engagement Session was chosen as Colleges.net’s Website of the Week!

You can read about it on their blog, or check out the photos by clicking below!

Lauren, Jason and I decided to make up for not getting to shoot engagement photos with a recent “Just Because” session down in Celebration! This was actually a one-on-one couple’s workshop that I hosted for Orlando photographers Carla and Percy of DeArmero Photography. I’m going to have a second post about the workshop and how photographer’s can have one of their own, but I wanted to jump right in to some of the shots I captured of Lauren and Jason on Sunday!

This was my third time working with this great couple. I shot their wedding back in March, and their Trash the Dress in July.  It’s so fun to watch their relationship grow, and I think I need to do this will all of my couples!

What a day! Whew!

Recently, I decided to start some one-on-one photographer workshops. I wasn’t really sure how the whole idea would turn out, but I’ve been getting a lot of “how do you…” emails lately, and thought it would be a great way to get to know some local photographers and share what I know! I’m also insanely lucky to know awesome models, stylists and makeup artists – so I thought it would be fun to bring other photographers along, let them see how I work and get some up-close and personal time with my teams!

Today started off as being 2 workshops, but ended up as a bridal shoot with my girl, Hollie, and then couple’s shoot workshop!

I have A LOT to post (and say) about today – but after 10 hours of shooting, I decided just to post a couple of the teasers instead. I’ll talk more about my experience evading Osceola police and the Squat Shot later on, so stay tuned for that!

But tell me these shots weren’t totally worth almost getting arrested for trespassing??

Now… on to our workshop where I shot some “Just Because” photos of recently married couple, Lauren and Jason! Percy and Carla from De Armero Photography joined me (LOTS more about them later – they’re so awesome!)!

Here’s a great shot of Carla and Percy in action!

Seriously, SUCH a fun day! I would do this every day if I could I “heart” my job!

My last family session was cooler than yours

After a short recess for some much needed vacation, I finally got the pictures from Jesse’s family session finished and ready for blogging! Yay! Jesse’s been on me for a few weeks to get these up, so I’m glad they’re finally finished for her This was no small task, I had so many that I loved! I also love any chance to play with the bright colors and add some fun vintage editing! If you missed the teasers, you can check them out over here.

I asked little Peyton how many friends she had at school. The answer was 10. Why 10? Because she didn’t have any more fingers. Of course

We took a break for a little flower picking. Brooklyn proudly shows dad his find!

This girl is precious – is she not?

As much as I love the kids – I love getting back to my roots Couples are where it’s at! They’re so cute together!

Some color play

Ok so this is a new version of my favorite shot of the day. In the teasers, I went a little more vintage. But I love the bright coloring of this one!

We took a side trip to downtown Celebration for the pretty colors, and yummy smelling Farmer’s Market!

This shot is a replica of a picture they took when Peyton was Brooklyn’s age. So we did it again, with both the kids!

Back outside for some adorable shots of Brad and Jesse to finish off the day!
