Ahhh {deep inhale. release}. I am home.

I felt the thick, damp air as I walked out of the airport last Friday morning. I had the familiar tastes of mom’s coffee and dad’s french toast as I was welcomed to breakfast.

I experienced the soft, smooth, beach sand between my toes that day as I was refreshed in one of my favorite places to be – by the ocean.

And, as I photographed this engaged couple, I felt the familiar weight of my camera in my hands and I heard the laughter of myself and clients as we together wrote life memories to be cherished forever.

Don’t get me wrong, our six months in Peru have been great – and I am looking forward to four more really fun ones – but – “there’s no place like home.”

Jessica and Andrew are getting married!

August 28, 2011

“OMG!” That is what I was literally thinking as I edited Jessica and Andrew’s engagement photos. I am so lucky to have such fun clients who decide to live out their love in front of my camera lens. I met Jessica and Andrew at the Columbia Restaurant in Ybor City to snap some fun shots inside the wine cellar as well as outside by the beautiful tiled wall . . .

The photo with the wine bottle above is meaningful because that is Jessica’s grandfather on the bottle!

We then headed to Curtis Hixon Park for more photos…I love the way they’re looking at one another in the one below.

I’m not going to lie, I am kind of obsessed with the way the trees turned out in the background of the photos above and the one below.

After lots of photos around the park…we decided to take some in the water fountains . . . and as you will see, it evolved from there . . .

I mean seriously, what a fun couple…unafraid to just go with the flow and soak up the spontaneous moments in life.

Jessica and Andrew – THANK YOU for such a fun shoot and thank you for your patience in waiting for your images. I wish you many blessings in your future together!

Stephanie and Dave ~ Morgantown, WV

August 14, 2011

As you will very quickly notice from their engagement photos, Stephanie and Dave are a super fun couple (and ridiculously good looking)! They love to laugh, love to dance, and most of all love one another. We had a great time pouncing around Morgantown, WV for their engagement shoot. And in November, with much colder weather I assume, we’re going to have fun capturing their wedding photos there too. Congratulations guys! Enjoy.

The one above might be my favorite of the whole shoot. So pretty!!

Perfect light. Love it.

I had to play around and make the same photo I started this post with in a funky fashion. I like the way it came out.

Stephanie & Dave {teaser}

August 12, 2011

I do not know if I have ever said it before, but Life Writing Photography clients are simply the best clients ever. Seriously! In the midst of finishing a summer semester of grad school, traveling and moving to another country, it has taken me longer than normal to get my clients back their images. And they’ve been incredibly patient. THANK YOU to all of you who are still waiting. I am working tirelessly to get your images finished.

Stephanie and Dave are the gorgeous couple in today’s {teaser} who have been waiting to see their engagement photos. They’re actually one of the couple’s whose wedding I get to photograph this fall. Thank you guys for a great shoot, a fun date at the Dairy Castle, and for entrusting me to capture the moments of your day in November – cannot wait! Enjoy your {teaser}.

loving laughter ever after

July 4, 2011

Nhi has one of the most beautiful laughs I have ever witnessed. A smile spreads across her face and she just gets lost in the humor of the moment. Robert is the one who brings this laughter out of his bride-to-be with ease and comfortability that only an intimate knowing could do. These two will become husband and wife in August – and I have the honor of capturing the moments of love and laughter during their big day.

Enjoy these engagement photos taken in Sarasota, FL.

The photo on the left above is my favorite from the shoot . . . so much so that you get it alone below in black and white. Nhi – you are gorgeous!
