Austen is about to graduate and is applying for art school. I was asked to do his senior pictures, and he said he wanted something different, more artistic than the standard stuff. I hope I did him justice. We spent a couple hours on a fantastic tour of downtown Jacksonville, and ended up at a new spot I found for the last light of the day. I am so impressed by this young man's spirit.

Previous wedding clients (and friends) Andrea and Jeremy called me for newborn images of their new daughter Addyson. I was thrilled to do it. She was awesome, and slept most of the session, with the exception of a few times, here and there. Dad even got a little shower, but we won't go into that! ha!

This is Violet and she's about to turn one! I wanted to capture her at this age because of the way I saw her last week. She has this certain look where she just smiles and looks directly as you, as if to say..."look how cute I am now!" She's just crawling and barely walking so she really couldn't escape to quickly. Her mom Sandra and I had a great time at the studio, playing with the different hats she brought. I don't know, maybe she's the next Baby Gap!

Allison and Johnny called me over a year ago about engagement photos in anticipation of getting married.....well, time went by, and travel on Johnny's part dictated a few things that weren't in their plan. Needless to say, they are already married, but wanted to do a shoot anyway!

We used the Lightner Museum and Flagler College for the bulk of the photos on this gorgeous Sunday afternoon. There's a funny story behind the Lightner Museum, but I'll leave it between the 3 of us.....(we kind of snuck in, without realizing we needed a permit.....oops!)

For the beach part of our session, we went down to the pier.....the tide was high so we didn't have much room. We had fun anyway ending the session at such a beautiful location!

And here she is!!!! My friend Sandra asked me to photograph her daughter Violet's baptism today in the Greek Orthodox church. After a couple of weddings of this type, I knew how lovely these ceremonies could be, and I was not disappointed! Sandra doesn't do anything halfway, so this was a full out celebration. Thanks for the great food afterwards!

This was a beautiful ceremony in the Greek Orthodox Church, attended by family and close friends....all for this adorable little girl. I felt like I was at Chris and Sandra's wedding all over again :)....which was also a beautiful event in the Greek Orthodox church some 5 years ago! Sandra exudes such class and poise, and I think you can see that here. :)
