The Thompson Family 2020 | Eau Palm Beach Resort Family Portraits

Eau Palm Beach Resort Family Portraits

On January 2nd, 2020, I had the pleasure of working with the Thompson family for the second time! It was such an honor to be welcomed back to document their vacation memories for the second year! Their Eau Palm Beach Resort family portraits this year were filled with sunshine and tropical feels. Their simple yet classy outfit choices worked so well with the breezy, tropical backdrop. They are such a sweet family, and it is an honor to be their South Florida vacation photographer!

Mckenzie's Palm Beach Lifestyle Senior Beach Photos

Lifestyle Senior Beach Photos

While visiting Palm Beach, Mckenzie had her lifestyle Senior beach photos taken with us! We had such a great time capturing some lifestyle portraits on Worth Avenue and the beach! It was a gorgeous day with a perfect ocean view! The waves were big enough for the surfers to be out yet it wasn't very windy! The water was the perfect shade of teal, a stunning backdrop for this whimsical senior portrait session!

Mckenzie, it was a pleasure working with you! I had so much fun capturing your joyful personality! I hope to work with you again one day! Enjoy your senior year!

[line] We began her session on the east side of Worth Avenue.  Her black jumpsuit stood out against the bright Palm Beach backdrop!  Then we got our toes in the sand and captured some fun breezy senior photos!  The ocean was as stunning as it looks!  Some of my favorite shots!  Kenzie, you are stunning!!  Kenize, I hope you soar and achieve your dreams! Thank you for choosing us to capture your high-school senior photos!

Brittany + Justin | Elegant Palm Beach Engagement

On November 10th, 2019, Andrew and I had the pleasure of capturing Brittany and Justin's elegant Palm Beach engagement session! This session quickly became one for the books! Justin and Brittany invited us explore Palm Beach in their family's Rolls Royce! We stopped at a handful of the most iconic Palm Beach locations, capturing the most romantic engagement photos! Talk about a dream session!

We visited the Flagler Museum, The Breakers Palm Beach, Bethesda by the Sea and Worth Avenue. Not only did we have a gorgeous car and the dreamiest locations but also the most stunning couple! They wore such elegant outfits that worked so well with each location. Justin wore a classic black tuxedo and Brittany wore a sparkly, silver sequin cocktail dress. Together they were show stoppers!

Their entire session was filled with adventure and fun! We felt like we were just hanging out with our friends the entire time! Also, being the car girl that I am, I loved having an extra prop in their photos. That Rolls probably made it into too many shots, but boy, was it pretty! Some of my favorite shots were the ring shots taken on the car! They turned out amazingly, and I'm still obsessed.

Brittany & Justin:

Thank you so much for allowing us the honor of documenting such a special time in your lives! It was such a pleasure getting to know you both and working with you! We truly had the BEST time with you guys, and we would be elated to work together again! Enjoy this sweet season and have the best time eloping!! We are so happy for you both!

Alex + Joanna | Rainy Worth Avenue Engagement

Rainy Worth Avenue Engagement

On Sunday, November 3rd, 2019, Andrew and I had the pleasure of capturing Alex and Joanna's rainy Worth Avenue engagement session. Even though the forecast called for mostly cloud and only 20% chance of rain, it rainy during their entire session! At times it was calm, but toward the end, it was very heavy and with so much wind! They were troopers!

Alex and Joanna chose Worth Avenue on Palm Beach Island for the elegant scene and colorful flowers. Although the day was dull and gray, we were determined to give them their dream engagement photos!  It may have taken a bit more strategy and editing, but I think we delivered. In fact, I feel like the rain added an extra magical feel!

Alex and Joanna will be saying, "I do," in February of 2020! We are so excited to be a part of their day! Especially since Alex is one of our life-long friends! He is actually the one person most responsible for Andrew and I being together! That's right. In high-school, Alex played matchmaker for us. We had all been friends since middle school, and in 2009, Andrew and I were both no longer dating anyone else, so Alex did what any good friend would do and pushed 'shy' Andrew to talk to me. Alex would setup a three-way calls so we would be forced to talk! Well, all his matchmaking paid off, and we are so grateful for it! Alex, thank you for being such a great friend! We are so grateful for you!

Alex & Joanna, thank you for letting us document your love story! We are so happy for you both and are beyond excited for your wedding day! This next new season of life is so sweet! Enjoy every single minute!
