Beach Family |



St. Augustine photographer

This family from Ohio has been vacationing in Florida for years, and they realized it was time for a portrait session in beautiful Saint Augustine. This particular beach, like my favorite in Jacksonville, is pristine and full of natural beauty with the dunes and ocean (no houses to be seen!). Ruth and Roy—the grandparents—have been married for forty-nine years! Everyone was so fun and made my job easy. Enjoy your sneak peek!

Amber & Adam engagement |



St. Augustine photographer

Amber and Adam are getting married in St. Augustine in October. I was happy that Amber wore high heels to the engagement session; I love the way heels look in photographs! Amber had worried about me catching her up in the air for the jumping shots, but I got plenty of those. I love her natural grace in jumping, which trust me, isn’t always easy, even for adults. Jumping is harder than it looks, as anyone with small children knows (I have fond memories of my girls as toddlers trying so hard to jump, their little toes not quite making it off the ground).

It’s easy to see how in love Amber and Adam are. I’m excited to photograph their wedding! Amber and Adam, enjoy your sneak peek!

Susie L - June 6, 2010 - 2:02 pm

Beach family |



St. Augustine photographer

This family was vacationing in St. Augustine and asked me to take pictures on the beach where they were staying. Usually the beaches I go to into St. Augustine and Jacksonville involve long boardwalks, but this time I got to drive right on the sand to our spot. I must say it was nice to be able to pull out my supplies right from my trunk! Little C and W, the grandchildren, were ready for adventure and play, my favorites too. C and R family, enjoy your sneak peek!

And look at C’s long, long eyelashes…

Susie L - June 3, 2010 - 9:35 pm

Little I



Jacksonville photographer

Little I is turning one and is as cute as can be. We met at the park, ready with umbrellas in case it would rain, and although the clouds were dark and we got a few sprinkles, we were spared any real rain. With all the cloud cover, it was such a pleasant temperature for a summer day in Jacksonville. Little I was a gem to photograph, and I must say her mother is talented with a sewing needle. She made the adorable outfit that I is wearing in the tree stump and cake pictures. Babies usually take eating cake VERY seriously (and we all know cake is a serious business!), and so did little I initially. But we soon got her to laugh and show off her cake face. She’s quite a happy little girl. K family, enjoy your sneak peek!


Sandra Keller - May 29, 2010 - 12:29 pm

We were so anxious and excited for the sneak peek! We knew they would be beautiful but we are in awe… Can’t wait for the full gallery! Thank you!

Jennifer and David know how to make each other laugh. They were ready for a little adventure with their session as we explored for promising spots (David was even ready to climb walls!). They’re getting married in October, and for their engagement session, we had fun with an urban style. Jennifer and David, I can’t wait to photograph your wedding! Enjoy your engagement sneak peek!
