Alissa + Albert | Coral Cove Park Engagement in Jupiter, Florida

On Monday, February 15th, Andrew and I had the pleasure of capturing Alissa and Albert’s Coral Cove Park engagement in Jupiter, Florida. Their session was perfection from start to finish! We had an absolutely gorgeous day! It wasn’t hot or cold and it was filled with golden sunshine. But what made all the difference, was the way these two radiated together. The smiles and sweet glances they gave each other filled each frame with so much joy and love. THIS is why I love my job. It’s these effortlessly genuine moments that I get gitty about behind my camera.

Alissa and Albert were professional models within the first set of photos! They took my direction and then made it their own by just being themselves; it was a lifestyle photographer’s DREAM. As a lifestyle photographer, I often wait for those candid moments that usually happen in a transition from one pose to the next. It’s the moments when: a joke leads to a huge belly laugh, a sweet whisper sparks a tender embrace or a glance says “I love you”. It’s in these moments that I adore being a photographer a little bit more. I’m given the opportunity to document a timeless glimpse of the beginning — a tangible memory of the start of a lifetime. One where one day, first generations will look back on and still feel the love they shared.

Alissa and Albert: You both were a dream to work with! We can’t wait till your big day!! If your engagement session is any indication of how your wedding day will go, then we know beautiful things are in store! We hope you enjoy your engagement photos for many years to come! See you next year! :)

The Langley Family | Palm Beach Family Vacation Portraits

On Saturday, February 6th, I had the pleasure of working with the Langley family while they were visiting South Florida on vacation from Oklahoma. Capturing their Palm Beach family vacation portraits was such an honor. They were so wonderful to work with and I had such a great time.

Rain almost prevented their session from happening, but a quick location change saved the day! It was a very windy day but luckily we escaped the rain. We began their session at the Worth Avenue Clock Tower. Then we headed to the beach, which was very empty. That’s the benefit of having a rainy day!

Langley family: thank you for having me capture your vacation to Palm Beach! I hope these photographs bring back many beautiful memories for many years to come! I hope we get the chance to work together again in the future! Enjoy your photos!

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! :)

The Vogeney Family | Palm Beach Lifestyle Family Vacation Portraits

On December 30th, 2020, I had the pleasure of capturing the Vogeney’s lifestyle family vacation portraits in Palm Beach, Florida. Their sweet family session was filled with lots of giggles and tender moments. Some of my favorite photos were of the candid moments. There were too many adorable ones to have just one favorite!

Another sweet part about this session was that I captured Kelsey & Ben’s engagement photos back in May of 2016 in the same area. While they were back down in Florida, they decided to make the trip a little further south to have their family photos taken! It was so sweet seeing them and their adorable family this time around. Four and a half years can really make a big difference! You can take a trip down memory lane with this link to their dreamy engagement session and incredible love story!

Kelsey & Ben: Thank you for giving me the honor of documenting your gorgeous family! It was such a pleasure of working with you all! I hope you love your photos for many years to come! I can’t wait to work together again!
