and the bride wore red shoes...

{ It was such an honor to be able to photograph this beautiful couple in this breathe taking church. The reception was gorgeous as well on the rooftop of the Phoenician resort and I fell in love with the entire wedding party by the end of the evening... Congrats! }

Boots & Bride

 I loved shooting Kyle and Chelsea's country chic wedding 
{see photos here}...from the cowboy hats, mason jars, boots
and handmade bullet shell boutonnieres.

Shoot Film, Not People.

I love shooting people. And as much as my business has turned toward wedding & family portraits, it's generally photographing strangers which I'm used to but I'm very aware that my clients are naturally nervous while  having their photo taken. It's intimidating. So I try to give my best tips  upfront, and they are: 

•  Smile but don't smile too big unless you're laughing
• Give me options, smiling as well as straight faced
• If engagement portraits, bring a few changes of outfits for both of you
• For Senior portraits, consider bringing a prop. Something to do with a club or sport you are involved in. and definitely try to arrange it so I can get some group shots of siblings and friends, etc. 
• Dog walking photos are adorable for senior portraits. Also, who doesn't need professional portraits of your dog as well as your children?!
• Open shade is the best light, so I prefer outside locations around sunset
• If it's a motion shot, we will probably need to take a bunch to get the one thats just right, so have patience
