Claire and Conor-Palm Coast, FL

Here we go again. I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving week!! I had a great time photographing Claire and Conor's wedding celebration at Hammock Dunes in Palm Coast. I had never been in that area, but it is simply beautiful!! I am hoping to go back again soon!
Claire and Conor shared the celebration of their wedding with friends and family from Ireland, England, Australia, Argentina and the states. What a fun night! Here's a little sneak peek!!

Howlin Fun at the Red Dog Studio!!

Today was it....finally the Red Dog Studio opened!! Yes, I appreciate all of you who stayed in line for hours...all night in tents just waiting for the studio to open.
Okay, well that may not have happened, but we did have a great time!
We started with my class of fantastic students getting a studio photography lesson. Lexi and Sasha were great models. And best of all they accepted pay in the form of cookies. You can't beat that with a stick! Mr. Noodles even showed up to sign autographs.
Then we had quite a few folks stop in to see what all the buzz was about. From what I heard they were thrilled. I'm so excited!!
Enjoy some images from today. They even got a photo of me and my extern Megan!! Tomorrow it's off to Palm Coast on the East Coast to photograph Claire's wedding. It should be awesome!

Red Dog Studio Ready for Saturday!!

It looks like through a whole bunch of sweat and effort from our favorite Jack Rascal Terrorist, Mr. Noodles, that the Red Dog Studio will open this Saturday!!
I'm loving the space and can't wait to begin working with all of the goodies Mr. Noodles has designed into the studio!
Come by and see us this Saturday November 22nd for a free portrait session!! But don't wake Mr. Noodles...he's taking a well deserved nap.
We're between the Cinco and Shalimar bridges in Fort Walton Beach at 252 Beachview Drive.
Can't wait to see you there.

Kelly and Andy's Engagement!!

Where are two great places for engagement photos? How about Eden State Gardens and Baytowne Wharf? I took Kelly and Andy there for their engagement session this weekend. It was freezing cold, but somehow they found a way to keep warm during the session!!
They are a fun and spunky couple. I can't wait to shoot their October '09 wedding!!

Red Dog Studio Update- One week late but almost there!!

Hey Guys,
The Red Dog studio is almost really ready for the grand opening this Saturday from 8am-6pm. It is located at 252 Beachview Drive in Fort Walton behind my residence.
Here are some updated images from the construction. Mr. Noodles was not able to be in any of these as he was at Home Depot buying supplies for today's needs....LOL
His jobs for today will be laying the floor, doing trim and of course hanging photos inside the gallery. Gotta love a busy dog!
I'm sure I'll send out an image of him tomorrow in the finished studio. Unless of course..he's just DOG TIRED!!!

Michelle and Casey Engagement

You have to love Michelle and Casey. They are two fun-loving kindred spirits!! We did a deluxe engagement session at Henderson Beach State Park and Baytowne Wharf.
We had a blast!! I'm going to make them wait for the most coveted playground frog photo :) You know you have to leave one as a surprise!!

Beautiful Family

How lucky am I? I got to spend the afternoon with Gina and Bob and their two beautiful young daughters Jennings and Tiegen.

Using nothing but the items around their home, we did some really great images. I am so excited!!
I hope you love them as much as I do.
And as a P.S. if you are in the Destin area and need physical therapy, Bob and his therapists are awesome!! I know, he worked miracles for my daughter and I!! Check out his practice at the link above. You will be happy you did!

Studio Update!!

If anyone has been keeping up with the blog, you'll know that we are in the process of building a super new natural/studio light photography studio. Oh yes, this is very exciting news!! I'll have ample space for studio shoots as well as colorful exteriors for senior portraits and a park across the street on the water for even more selection!! I am not going to lie....I am excited!!
Three dog construction with the ever curvy Jack Rascal Terrorist Mr. Noodles as the foreman was busy with the painting!! You can see the work they have achieved in only a couple of days. Now they are "dog tired".
Oh, sorry about that one, it wasn't all that punny but I couldn't resist.
If everything goes as planned, we'll have a grand opening on Saturday November 15th with free portrait sessions!!

New Studio and Great Sunset!

Happy November!! As we take a sigh of relief now that another October wedding season has passed, I want to announce the great news!! No, it's NOT what you think. It's the building of my new studio.
I am hoping to have the grand opening November 15th. Look for a flyer for the open house. You don't want to miss the fun and free portrait sessions!!
Speaking of portrait sessions, I had such a cute family and an awesome sunset tonight. Just enjoy the images of Greg, Christy and Logan and see why I love fall!!!
