MOLLY + STEVE’S AMELIA ISLAND WEDDING

Posted in WEDDING

There are just some couples that just make you feel like you have been friends forever. Molly with her infectious smile and Steve with his southern-gentleman swagger, treated me like I was their long-lost sister the day of their wedding. I mean the moment I met Molly in her hotel room she was giving my assistant and I gift baskets and drinks! How could I say no to hospitality like that?

Molly and Steve met in Tennessee. They both worked for a local TV news station for almost ten years when Steve landed a job as a sports anchor for a news station here in Jacksonville. That old saying “absence makes the heart grow fonder?” Well, it worked like a charm and a little over a year later Steve was toasting his bride on their wedding day.

Molly and Steve…I hope that you two had a wonderful time on your honeymoon and are still riding it’s waves! It was a joy to have watched you so intimately on this special day. I want to sincerely thank you for being so kind and genuine to me and I bless you both and your future together!

THIRD TIMES A CHARM

Posted in BUSINESS, MY LIFE

Ever get the feeling you are playing a long, drawn out version of musical chairs? No? Well, I do! Why yes folks, I am moving my studio AGAIN! My big announcement is finally here! This is my third move in three years and hopefully the last. The lease was up and it was a good time to make the move. This year with my oldest going to kindergarten I needed to slow down a bit. It is a bitter-sweet for sure. My long time friend and studio partner Stacy is keeping the space while I move just two blocks down the street. Literally. I found the sweetest space near my old studio in this one hundred year old, two story Victorian. (CLICK HERE TO SEE IT!) It’s wonderful natural light, original wood floors, front porches and old world charm was calling my name. It is a MUCH smaller space where I will mostly be focusing on newborns and tiny tots, and of course will serve as a great space for Amy and I to meet wedding clients.

Thank you Stacy for always being there for me and being such a great friend. It was great times sharing this adventure with you and will miss that business venture!

So, I will be frantically working these next few weeks to get my new space ready for shooting! I am also working on the final details of my HOLIDAY MINI SESSIONS TO BE ANNOUNCED LATER THIS WEEK…and this years studio minis will be my sweetest deal yet! Here’s a sneak peek of one of this year’s holiday cards…..

Posted in BUSINESS, MATERNITY

I am finally back to work after summer vacation and have spent the last two nights editing my little fingers off. I am just getting to Mo and Jo’s maternity session I shot last week in a Jacksonville Beach hotel. I know Mo is anxious to see her gallery so I thought I would post this one little teaser.

Also, on a side note….BIG ANNOUNCEMENT THIS WEEK! F’REAL THIS TIME!

MY LITTLE BIG GIRL

Posted in MOMMY TALK, NEWBORN

Tomorrow is her big day. Her giant step towards “big kid.” Josie, my sweet-as-pie, ray-of-sunshine of a girl starts kindergarten. She has no idea how momentous this occasion is, and how bitter-sweet this is for me. As we all know she cannot begin to fathom how precious these last 5 years with her have been to me until she walks in motherhood’s shoes. The wisdom thing comes with age and every year I sure keep gaining that!

When I was pregnant with Josie, I swore this girl would giggle inside of me. The nurses said from her ultrasound that by the size of her cheeks she HAD to have a beautiful smile. They were on the money. By the time Josie was 11 days old she was grinning from ear to ear. She is the light of her Daddy and my life and I truly cannot believe that she is starting grade school. I feel like the last 5 years has fast forwarded to this moment and I am scrambling to find the pause button!

But alas, it is happening. I have been blessed to have taken most of the summer off to be home with her. Her vocabulary has shot through the roof. Shes swimming on her own and has finaly mastered egg cracking. She is making so many connections now that it is truly amazing to see. Where did my baby go?

So, for those of you Mommies who are dropping your little ones off this week and the next for their first shot at the *real world* I am right there with you. Tears, camera and all.

*Stay tuned for a few pix of her first day!
