Kelsey and Trey are Married!

June 12, 2010

Orange Beach, Al

Gulf Shores State Park

Dress is from the Something Blue Shop in Hartselle, Alabama

The day had finally arrived and it could not have been more beautiful outside.  Even though the oil spill had affected the beaches it didn’t stop this young couple from having their dream wedding on the beach. Kelsey looked unbelievable and dare I say radiant and dear Trey looked debonair in his linen suit. This was on of the sweetest couples I have had the privilege to shoot and get to know. It was a bit hot, but the Ceremony turned out beautifully without any rain! Now the Reception was unlike anything I have ever seen before and might need its own blog post. Everyone in the family got on the dance floor and did the Alligator Crawl. If you don’t know what that is,  you have to look it up. It was one of the most entertaining and action packed Receptions I have attended.

Mykean Zane

. Mykean, who is almost three, is such a little spitfire and so darn cute you want to pinch those cheeks. She loved the camera and would have let me take pictures of her all day! I love children and getting to know their little personalities and listening to the cute things they say. You never know what they are going to do or what they are going to say. Mykean has the cutest little voice that makes your heart melt everytime she looks at your with those blue eyes and says candy please. She has another session coming up soon with her gorgeous mother Jeannie, so more to come!!!

Brandon Otts

Santa Rosa Beach, Fl

Brandon is a very close friend of mine from Nashville, Tn. He and his fiance, Ana,  actually came down to the beach just to visit, but it literally rained everyday that they were here. So to pass the time we decided to add some edgier photo’s to his portfolio. Brandon has modeled for many different companies with his most current being Zappos.com!! Very cool! Brandon has also been seen in the movie Hannah Montana as one of the extra’s in the shoe department scene. He is also a teacher and coach to an all girls school, but enjoys to model and act on the side. Brandon is also a crazy health nut! I myself have a degree in Nutrition, but Brandon and his fiance eat healthier than anyone I know. They each carry around a gallon of water to drink on all day. It’s hilarious, but I love them and I am so thankful to have friends like them.

Children’s Portraits

Santa Rosa Beach, Fl

These two little ones were so much fun to shoot. Cienna and Sofia are my new assistant Robin’s children and they are sweet as can be. Cienna is a little firecracker, you never know what she is going to do next and I have to say Sofia is one of the best babies I have ever seen. Robin is an amazing assistant and always goes above and beyond to help with anything that I might need. I just wanted to shoot some photo’s of her precious little ones as a thank you for all that she does.

Trash the Dress with Brooke and Matt

Watercolor, Florida

Check out the sneak peek of these two love birds splashing around in the water. Brooke a beautiful young woman from Alabama wanted something different for her wedding photo’s, so she went all out for this amazing session. Matt was such a good sport and you could tell he was willing to do anything for Brooke. I have been wanting to get a couple on a canoe forever and the nice people at Watercolor let us do just that!
