  • Welcome to my Blog!

    Why?  Why do I do it?  It's my passion....my calling.  

    You should know this about me...people describe me as intense...passionate...focused.  And they’re right.  I am.

    Things in my life that I’m passionate about?

    Red Zinfandels and Dark Chocolate...love them both, and they’re even better together!

    My husband....my biggest supporter and fan...he makes my heart sing...how did I get so lucky?

    My kids...they’re each so amazing & talented...yep, a total blessing.

    My Camera...I love being behind the lens...capturing beautiful moments as they happen...creating beautiful memories for my clients, family, and friends.

    My clients...I love my clients.  I think this is what I’m even more passionate about.  I love the relationship I build with each one.  Each relationship feels like a little present of happiness.  I love getting to know my clients...learning their expressions, and then capturing those expressions with my camera...those tiny captured moments that make me so passionate about my photography.  It’s a magical moment. The experience of sharing that moment, that joy with my clients is an awesome feeling.  Sharing the laughter, the memories of the day, and a few tears of joy, are what it’s all about for me.  

    Passionate Photography...

Lauri and David | Intimate Delray Beach Wedding | Delray Beach Wedding Photographer

Posted inUncategorized,Weddings

Lauri and David had plans for a First Look before their intimate beach wedding with family. Alas, Mother Nature didn’t comply, and the rains fell. Thanks to Lauri’s mom, the First Look went off without a hitch! And the ceremony was moved inside. We really loved the intimacy of Lauri and David’s wedding. It was truly amazing to be in a room so full of emotion and love. Making the best of a wet situation, the kids had a little fun on the stairs with their photos. And right before it was time to say goodnight, the rains let up. Lauri and David wanted to make sure to capture their ceremony setup on the beach since Lauri’s mom had done such an amazing job putting the decor together. I love these nighttime photos of Lauri and David! Hope you love their sneak peeks…and congratulations to Lauri and David!

Amy and Erick | an Elegant Benvenuto Wedding

Posted inUncategorized,Vendors,Weddings

Amy and Erick love photography. I mean, really, really love photography. They had an extended engagement session (lots of props and lots of fun!! check it out here: Amy & Erick). So when it came time for their wedding day, they made sure to contract enough time for their First Look and for photos after the ceremony. Even though the day started out rainy and the First Look took place under the porte cochere, the weather cleared up in time for the ceremony, and we took advantage of the beautiful weather for some great bride and groom formals!! Can I just mention here that I love, love couples that love photography?!! The service at Benvenuto’s was excellent, and made for a flawless day! Congratulations to Amy and Erick!!

Arianne and Tom Rock the Dress | Palm Beach Wedding Photography

Posted inRock the Dress Session,Uncategorized

When Arianne told me about her plans for her Rock the Dress Session, I was super excited! Her plans included all of the things I had been wanting to shoot…horses, paint, and the beach…and I was going to get to do them all in one session!! This was an extended session as we hit several locations…an equestrian barn in Wellington, a backyard, and then the beach. I had so much fun hanging out with my newlyweds. I truly wish more of my couples would opt for a Rock the Dress Session! By the way, don’t worry about her wedding dress…it wasn’t the one she wore on her wedding day. It was a good thing, too…not only because of the paint involved. Early on in the session, her horse stepped on the train of the dress. Needless to say, we did some creative on the spot alterations. lol Because, of course, the shoot must go on! Hope you enjoy these sneak peeks!

Natasha & Max | Jupiter Weddings | Out of the Blue

Posted inUncategorized,Vendors,Weddings

Natasha and Max are just the sweetest couple…I love watching them interact. Natasha always has a smile on her face and her laugh is so contagious. I just love how her smile lights up her eyes and those around her! And Max? I just love the way he looks at Natasha…it’s the type of look every girl dreams of…one full of love and adoration. Natasha got ready at Jupiter Beach Resort and also had her First Look with Max. They were so cute! We finished up the First Look photos at Out of the Blue, where the ceremony and reception took place. The weather was perfect, and the day made a beautiful backdrop for their sweet and touching ceremony. Hope you love their sneak peeks! Congratulations to Natasha & Max!!

Monica and Tim | Wedding at The Breakers Palm Beach

Posted inUncategorized,Vendors,Weddings

Monica and Tim are a perfect fit. You see it from the first moment you meet them. We really loved working with Monica and Tim…their fun spirit was infectious, and they were just adorable! The Breakers was the perfect backdrop from getting ready to their ceremony and reception…not only was it a beautiful location, but the service was impeccable. (highly recommend!) Monica and Tim chose to have a First Look…allowing us to get some amazing shots since there ceremony was right at sunset. The entire day was memorable from beginning to end. We hope you enjoy their sneak peeks! And congratulations to Monica and Tim!!
