vacation photographer
What better time to take photographs of your family then when you are on vacation! Everyone is relaxed, having fun, and in good spirits. It’s such a great way to document your family’s travels. I’ve talked to clients that hire a photographer every new place they visit and fill their home with prints of each place. I can’t think of a better way to fill your walls.
Read MoreWhile photography is not considered “essential” in immediate terms, it definitely is in the long run. You know why? Because YOU are essential. Your stories and your kids stories are essential. If this time together has taught us anything it’s that family and loved ones are the most crucial aspect of our lives. I’ve always loved photographing families, but this has just solidified that for me 100 times over.
This will not last forever. We will be with our family and friends again. We will be able to hug our loved ones and create new memories.
Read MoreThe Bosse family was visiting because Rhiannon, mom in these photos, was attending a floral workshop. They decided to make it into a family trip and wanted to document this season in their lives, while in Rosemary Beach. When Rhiannon called me and asked if I would be willing to come to Rosemary, I jumped at the chance. The vibe on 30A is so perfect and I will take an excuse to head that way. It was truly an honor to capture such fleeting moments that they have with their son. I can't imagine a better career than to be a photographer, especially when I get to travel to beautiful locations to photograph fleeting moments for families.
Read MoreIf you asked me what the highest honor of my career is, I would tell you it is when I get to photograph repeat clients. Yes, beautiful photography is important, but more important than that is the experience. I want the people that stand in front of my camera to want to return to it year after year. I want their photographs to line the walls of their homes. I used to love looking at the family vacation photos that the Kennedys had taken every year they traveled. Real moments. Raw moments.
Krysten is someone who I’ve photographed through all of her huge life events. We were new friends when I photographed her wedding and now she is like a sister. We’ve built a trust around my camera and she allows me to fully create art. When new life events come up we already know I’m going to be there to photograph it. We create mood boards and talk locations. She’s hired me to photograph her engagement session in Tallahassee, wedding in Jupiter, maternity photos in Atlanta and Miami, boudoir in Tallahassee, and travel to Oregon. What an incredible ride.
I love travel, I love photography, and I love documenting real moments in people’s lives. I hope to be many people’s “life photographer” during my career.
Read MoreSometimes you get families who just get it. They understand that while an hour family session is wonderful, it’s not really what a day in their lives looks like. This family wanted to spend a few hours just documenting what life is really like when you have a small child. Jessica is a destination photographer and ends up taking her family with her some of the time. This is what life looks like for a lot of traveling photographers. It’s not always glamorous or easy, but there is beauty in it. When you’re gone a lot and constantly busy, sometimes you just have to bring the whole family!
