BURCHHOUSE///PENSACOLA,FL

What a gorgeous day this was at The Burch house, Pace fl. The entire day was storming BAD & I am not going to lie I was sooo nervous for the shoot but it came together. I threw on my rain boots and headed there rain or shine! Thankfully... the sun came out and the team and models were GORGGGG! The Burch house has so much gorgeous land and the possibilities here are endless. The spring feels in this session makes me so excited!

CHELSEA///CORY//PENSACOLA,FL WEDDING

I have known Chelsea and Cory for a long time now. I met Chelsea wayyyy back in the day at our job together (she actually trained me) I never dreamed in a million years we would become such great friends after her getting engaged. Once she booked me it all went uphill from there. I feel like we have been waiting for this day FOREVER now and I am so happy for them both. They have been through a lot more than most... but here together today. I might have wanted to cry about 60 times this day. The weather, decor, entire team was perfect. Congrats you two!

Gulf breeze, fl///WORLOWFAMILY///

I was so excited to shoot this family. When they got out of the car I was DYING over the dresses and so put together. Their daughters were the sweetest sisters I have ever met in my life. They followed each other around holding hands and my heart could've just burst!!! The weather was so beautiful this day in Gulf breeze, fl!

PENSACOLA ENGAGEMENT///Shaina///Zachary

AHHH where do I start with these two. When Shaina contacted me to photograph her wedding I was so excited after talking to her a bit. She seemed very sweet and someone I knew I would work great with. These two met at their job --- rest is history. She has a sweet ADORBS daughter who was pretty much my bestie during the session. I even let her help me take some photos and I am pretty sure I won her over from then on. I can't WAITTTTT to photograph the big day in Alabama at a very gorgeous new venue. You two are swooooooon, and I am excited to capture all these important moments for you!

THE RUSSELLS///BURCHHOUSE PACE,FL

Well I am super excited to share this session. Is not everyday The Russell's contact you for pictures. The burch house has the best lighting and that day the lighting did NOT disappoint. We started with the sweet babies (who were very tired that day) but they did great giving me all their good stank faces. haha! Luckily the session was mostly for the parents! Addison and melisa are the sweetest couple. Not only is it very clear they are madly in love.... they are both very sweet. I loved meeting you all and I am very excited about future sessions with you guys! :) 

JESSICA&ALEX WINKLER WEDDING///

Jessica & Alex's beautiful barn wedding

 

--- Read their story here!

 

"Alex and I met when we were in middle school. Our older brothers were best friends, which meant our families got together quite a bit. We had crushes on each other but my family decided to move back to Seattle. During high school we reconnected and after I graduated my whole family moved back to Florida. Alex flew to Washington and helped my family drive all of our stuff back to Florida and we have been together ever since! On our 4 year anniversary I made Alex go to Eden Garden park to take pictures. I set up my tripod and Alex had the remote to my camera. He proposed while taking pictures!
We got married on October 22 and we can't wait to see what life has in store for us!"

 

KATHY & NICK ///

I am so happy to finally share Nick and Kathys highlight blog FINALLY from their wedding. Such a honor to meet both of these sweet souls! Read their story here ---

"Nick and I met in 2009 when my best friend Abi introduced us. We all went and ate lunch at a Mexican restaurant. Nick was a small town boy going to school at the University of Alabama and I was figuring things out for myself in Pensacola. I like to believe it was destiny us meeting each other when we did. For the next few months we would randomly run into each other all the time. After a while I finally gave him my number and from that point forward we were inseparable. Fast forward 6 years and we find out that God has blessed us with a beautiful baby girl! This was the hardest time of our life. Nick was working back and forth in Montgomery and I was on bedrest at my mother’s house. He still found a way to make sure that we were taken care of the whole time. We had Kyndall Renea at 26 weeks’ gestation and were blessed to spend 11 beautiful days with our angel baby. The next few months were nothing short of a roller coaster ride for the two of us, but somehow brought us closer together than ever before. Nick proposed to me at our angel baby’s bed on Christmas morning and it was the most romantic thing I could have ever asked for, and now we are living out our happily ever after with our angel baby watching over us every day."

 

Jacqueline & Conner

I met Jacqueline & her sister one pretty sunny afternoon for some coffee. She told she was getting married at Eden gardens and i was so excited hoping she would book with me so i could capture this sweet wedding for her. We were very excited! Jacqueline & Conner had a gorgeous bright sunny day in Destin and we can not wait to show you these gorgeous highlights from her day! Congrats you two!

CAIT//MATERNITY

I am DROOOLING over these photos. When we started to plan this session i knew she was a perfect fit for me. She sent me some photos she liked and inspiration and i knew i could make these very special for her. The day was perfect & she was absolutely stunning. You are going to be a wonderful mother and i am so luck to have met you! 

TAHIRY&STEVE///

LOOVEEEDDD meeting this sweet girl and her husband! We did not have much time before the sunset but we made it work and even with an outfit change. Seriously check out her floral dress. To die. I hardly had to tell these two what to do the entire session...mostly because they were so in love it was not so posed, easy, and their loved shinned. She owns a photography business as well (her photos are absolutely stunning). Thank you for trusting me for doing these for you Tahiry. Can't wait to meet up again and have some photography talks!
