Emily & Mark- Don Cesar Wedding Photography

Emily and Mark are smart... they left snowy Indiana and headed south to St.Pete Beach for their destination wedding at the Don Cesar.  

I think the idea of having multiple flower girls is great!  These three were such hams :0)

Emily and Mark had a very cool surprise when we were out on the beach...

Wedding day BLISS...

We had plenty of time for portraits so we did some fun ones like this...

I bet they will look back at this one when they are freezing cold in Michigan and miss the warmth of sunny Florida!

When the sun finally did set we had to be upstairs for the Reception.  While the wedding coordinator lined everyone up I had Emily stand in this window sill and captured some beautiful portraits of her!

Congratulations Emily & Mark!!!

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a Good Night!!!

"Christmas waves a magic wand over this world, and behold, everything is softer and more beautiful."

Tracy & Tommy

I first met Tracy last year while photographing the Sarasota Film Festival. Tracy is one of the creative masterminds in charge of making the SFF so spectacular. Did you know they have an entire staff that works year round to prepare for the 10 day festival? This year marks their 10th Anniversary so I am sure we will be in for even more great surprises and celebrities. If you have not been to the festival before, its a blast! Check out www.SarasotaFilmFest.com for more information. In the past few years I have photographed the festival for magazines... this year I am especially excited because I have been hired to be one of the official photographers for the festival!

Now on to the portraits of the beautiful couple...

Welcome to the world baby Alec!

How precious is this little guy? He made his mommy wait... and wait... until he finally decided to make his debut into the world on November 24th!

Maloni Family- Siesta Key Beach Portraits

The Maloni family hit the gold mine with this gorgeous sunset that painted the sky with a million different pastel colors!

Ginni

I have been doing lots of Children's photography lately, and I just love it! This is Ginni, shes 3 years old and full of personality. She has head full of gorgeous strawberry blonde curls, and a huge grin that will melt your heart...

Amanda & Jimmy

Amanda and Jimmy wanted to have their engagement session downtown and on the bay. I found a great place that has 3 huge green clovers painted on it and I knew immediately that I wanted to do some portraits there. Amanda and Jimmy had to follow me to this location and I was a little nervous driving because Jimmy is a police officer... he assured me that he was off duty and would not give me a ticket!

McGillicuddy Family

Several months ago the McGillicuddys asked if I would do a family portrait for them on Thanksgiving... I was excited to meet the children, and grandchildren of Graci & Dennis that I had heard such wonderful things about.

As the date approached I was told that there would be 60 family members and friends present and that they wanted a portrait of everyone together!

Graci told me that she wanted some special portraits of her "Grandbabies"


All of the children were absolutely gorgeous!

Why just give your Grandmother a hug?
If you REALLY want her to know you love her, pick her up and squeeze her!

Last but not least, Connie Mack IV and his beautiful Fiance Mary Bono...
