"I will learn to love the skies I'm under..." Seaside Florida Couples Photographer

This was one of my more favorite sessions from last year that I never got around to blogging because....well, basically, because I really stink at blogging! But theirs is such an inspiring story and I don't want it to stay under wraps any longer.  They contacted me and explained that a year prior, they had photos done and she had super long hair to donate; however, had just found out that she had Hodgkin's Lymphoma.  

She wrote in her email to me, "As a woman, you just never realize how much your hair is a part of who you are. The photos were really great and symbolized the start to that journey.  Since then, I've been through 4 different chemo regimens, a stem cell transplant, and radiation, but I am feeling great! My last scan showed that I had achieved remission before radiation. So needless to say, my hair is now growing, a short pixie right now, and this is why we want pictures this year in August. Aside from having great family photos, it's symbolizing the closing of this time in our lives and all that we've been through this year. And especially how great I can rock a pixie cut!"  

I am super honored to finally unveil these photos and hope and pray this post finds this beautiful couple still doing and loving well!

When this couple agreed to end their e-session with this fun twist, I was beyond thrilled.  I'm always up for a challenge and for throwing some off-the-cuff creativity into a shoot so this was like a dream come true!  We had some much fun throwing paint around and getting down and dirty.  I hope you enjoy taking a peek into their session!

"My worst distraction, my rhythm and blues I can't stop singing, it's ringing, in my head for you..." Fort Walton Beach engagement photography

I have known this sweet girl for quite some time and I was super excited and honored when she asked me to photograph her and her fiance's engagement photos.  This is a beautiful example of how a really good, no, fabulous photoshoot should go - just them being themselves, laughing and having fun, connecting with one another with little to no direction from me.  It was pure chemistry - not just between the two of them - but between client and photographer.  I wish only the very best for this happy couple!
