Kathleen + Matthew | Romantic Jupiter Lighthouse Engagement

On a foggy Saturday morning in January, I had the pleasure of capturing Kathleen and Matthew’s engagement photos at the Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse and Museum in Jupiter, Florida. It was a beautiful day, and starting it off with these two was perfection. We began their engagement session at the large banyan tree that lives right under the Jupiter Lighthouse. Its large branches stretching far and wide gave a timeless backdrop right from the beginning of their dreamy session.

Next we had to have some photos with the lighthouse. I’m a lighthouse lover and so I knew I needed to do something a little different here. Then I saw some small yellow flowers growing on the ground across from the lighthouse. I immediately knew the perfect shot. So I got down (into the dirt) and captured one of my favorite shots from their session: yellow flowers in the foreground, lighthouse in the background and a gorgeous couple at the center.

Then we did a few more shots around the lighthouse, including some with Micky & Minnie ears since they will be having a fairytale wedding on Disney property! So fun! Their session ended in front of the Tindall Pioneer House. This sweet little pioneer home is the oldest home still existing in Jupiter, and it was the perfect spot to end their session!

Kathleen and Matthew, thank you for choosing me to capture your Jupiter Lighthouse engagement photos! It was such a pleasure working with you both! I am looking forward to working together again soon! :)

Kyle's Jupiter Senior Portrait at Dubois Park

On Saturday, September 2nd, Andrew and I had the pleasure of capturing Kyle's Jupiter senior portrait at Dubois Park. Kyle's session took place on a gorgeous South Florida day.

Blue skies, teal waves, and tall palm trees filled the scene of these Florida-style senior portraits. Dubois Park was the perfect backdrop for this Jupiter shoot! If you love dreamy South Florida scenes, you'll love this session!

Kyle, thank you for allowing us to capture your High-School Senior portraits at Dubois Park! We wish you the best Senior year and a bright future! Enjoy your senior portraits!

We started our session at the Pioneer House at Dubois Park in Jupiter, Florida. The Pioneer House makes a great spot for portraits!

Then we walked east, capturing photos along the way. Some of my favorite shots! The light was gorgeous that day!!

Then we captured a few photos along Jupiter's rocky inlet. Such a great spot for portraits during the late afternoon!

Afterward, we moved towards the beach for some dreamy photos in the sand.

Then we captured a few more portraits along the Eastern part of the rocky Jupiter inlet. Some more favorites!

As the sky became more and more golden we headed west. This is one of my favorite scenes at sunset! Palm trees, sail boats and golden hour---Perfection.
