My favorite time of the year is by far the beginning of spring, so I was thrilled when we set a springtime date to capture the love between Jennifer and Joey for their engagement session! We enjoyed a beautiful afternoon in downtown Sarasota’s historic neighborhood of Laurel Park, where the sweet smell of jasmine filled the air. The warm sun shined down in all its glory, lighting up the colorful hues of the plants and wild flowers that surrounded us. Nothing feels more like love than the magic of spring, and combined with the beauty of this couple, we captured just that.

When I first met Amy and Tres, I felt as though I had been reunited with two of my best friends. They welcomed me into their lives with warm embraces and genuine smiles that made me feel so very loved and appreciated. As this beautiful couple are engaged and expecting a little one very soon, their ‘engagement session’ was also an ‘expecting’ session! We had a blast at the beach on Siesta Key, celebrating this exciting time in their lives. I feel so lucky to have them as clients and I cannot wait to continue capturing their love story at their wedding and throughout their journey as new parents <3

Little miss Aaliyah made a quick stop in the studio while she and her Mama, my cousin Carolyn, were visiting Sarasota over the weekend from their home in Daytona. After a long day at the beach, Aaliyah was utterly exhausted and happily allowed me to capture a few 6-week-old portraits. She is SUCH a pretty little girl; I just can’t get over her beautiful and creamy skin, and those lips! Thanks for the visit Carolyn, and congratulations on your perfect little princess!
