Baby Love - Jacksonville, FL Maternity Photographer

Buckie and Charlene have a special place in our hearts. We had the privilege of photographing their wedding. When Charlene asked us to take maternity photos, we were ecstatic! We promised them one preview picture and I hope they will understand that we edited three for them instead.

:) Thanks for your loyalty and, more importantly, your friendship!! Hope you love them.

Our most favorite DJ. period. - Jacksonville, FL Wedding Vendors

Brian is a little off the beaten path. Doesn't really bend to society norms. Tends to be a tiny bit crazy. Laughs loud and hard. Loves music.

You know what that makes him? The perfect DJ for your event. Period.

Brian needed headshots for his business, Stiles Sound Entertainment. Since Brian isn't boring, we thought we'd use the Crazy Closet Photobooth for his headshots. SCORE. Perfect. He did an amazing job. Check him out. And, look at his Facebook Fan Page. Fan him. He's awesome. You can also reach him at (904) 210-6618.

Beauty, love, and commitment. - Jacksonville, FL Wedding Photographer

Beauty. Love. Commitment. Those three words are how we like to describe a Day After session. Sometimes, a couple doesn't have enough time on their wedding day to take the photos together that they would love to have. Sometimes, a couple is celebrating an anniversary... Sometimes, a couple just wants to re-explore the passion they felt on their wedding day. Whichever the reason, we see examples of these three words in the Day After session. The bride looking absolutely BEAUTIFUL again in the dress that, truthfully, she wishes that she could wear everyday. The look of love the husband gives to his wife when she isn't looking.. much like he did on their wedding day. The excitement of celebrating the commitment that they made to each other.

We were allowed the opportunity to photograph a Day After session for Brandie and Philip yesterday. This session had a dual purpose. Not only did Brandie and Philip get to smooch all over each other, they were also modeling for our friends at Two Blondes and a Guy Salon. They are going to be advertising in the program at Guns N Hoses. Subsequently, Brandie's hair and makeup were skillfully done by Shannon at Two Blondes and a Guy Salon. (She did such an awesome job!!!) Brandie and Philip, you guys totally rocked this session. We are so blessed to know you and to be a part of this time with you. Hope you like the photos..

Happy Graduation, Katina!

A couple of weeks ago, we had the wonderful opportunity to do a large family shoot. After the shoot was finished, we were asked to take a couple of shots of Katina. Katina recently graduated from University of North Florida and will soon be an awesome teacher. We attempted to have her be serious.. it just wasn't happening. And, she pulls off "un-serious" quite well!! Katina, congratulations on your graduation and Chris and I wish you the best of luck.

Coming off of vacation.. STAY TUNED!

After a very restful Christmas vacation, we will begin our shooting schedule again.. on Thursday! We are doing a "Day After" shoot with a gorgeous couple. We've had the pleasure of working with this couple before and they know how to bring the heat. So, check back on Friday for their previews.

Christmas

During this Holiday Season, we have been taking a short vacation from the business of taking photos. We have been using this time to spend with family and take a break from the exciting schedule to slow down and take a few more moments just to sit and relax. Although we have taken this much needed break, this time has created a hunger and a passion within us to get back out there as soon as possible. In the meantime, we wish you and your family a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Three Years of Marriage. - Jacksonville, FL Wedding Photographers

We celebrated our 3rd wedding anniversary in the first part of December. Since it is such a crazy time of year, we didn't have the opportunity to get away and celebrate until this weekend. We sent the babies to our parents' houses and headed to the Amelia Island Plantation. We had no real agenda for the weekend... except to find plenty of time for SLEEP!! The only other plans we made were to meet up with our friend, Jennifer. We wanted a few images to use as profile pictures and as celebration of our anniversary and Jennifer was kind enough to hang out with us for a while.

One of the most important parts of planning for a photo shoot is working in fun details. Since we love when our clients plan their outfits down to their favorite shoes, a special pair of earrings, etc., we had our outfits planned well in advance. I asked for my outfit as my anniversary present. (My shirt, vest, and tie came from Express, my jeans from Old Navy, and my shoes from Jos A. Bank.) Rosalind choose a dress from NY and Co (and got it for only $12!) and planned to wear some shoes and jewelry from her own closet. However, while we were shopping on Centre Street Saturday morning, we fell in love with new accessories. Her jewelry came from Pineapple Patch and her shoes from Go Fish. As an aside, the jewelry was handmade in Africa and the workers were paid fair market wages. Cool stuff. And, special thanks to Shannon at Two Blondes and A Guy Salon for working Ros in right before our trip.

Anyway, the weekend was so relaxing and a lot of fun. The pictures below were taken by Jennifer Higginbotham on our D300 and we can't wait to see the ones out of her camera. Thank you again, Jen, we enjoyed it! You made it a pleasure. :) Make sure to visit her blog.

We thank God everyday for giving us each other. Just as was preached at our wedding, God created us for each other. He made us perfect in every way for each other.. strength for each weakness. We pray that God allows us many, many more years together!!
