    Best of Marathon {Marathon, FL Photographer}

    Screen Shot 2014-09-07 at 1.16.50 PM

    I was honored to be selected as one of the 3 finalists for the “2014 Best of Marathon,” and was very happy to receive the “Best Photographer” award at last night’s presentation.  During the past 9 years of photographing in the Keys, I have discovered how rewarding, fulfilling, and fun it is to capture those special moments.  From behind the camera I’ve witnessed newlyweds exchange vows, met and photographed newborns, and enjoyed growing families.  I appreciate those of you who took the time to vote for me.  Thank you, Marathon, for allowing me to capture your special times!

  • Seniors

    Jake {Florida Keys Senior Photographer}

    Senior sessions can be so much fun.  This one sure was!  When taking senior shots, I like to try to capture as much of their personality as possible while also summarizing this chapter of their life.  Jake is on the tennis team at school, but when he’s not on the court, he’s in the water spearfishing.

  • Maternity

    J & C {Florida Keys Maternity Photographer}

    When these two asked if I’d be up for a maternity session on the beach, I knew exactly where to head.  We did this session at Sombrero Beach in Marathon, just before sunset.  It’s such a great time of year for photos because we don’t have the heat of summer quite yet and the wind seems to keep us just cool enough without messing up hair!

  • Newborns

    Finn {Florida Keys Newborn Photographer}

    When mom is a part time party planner, you can bet she’s going to come prepared with some fantastic newborn ideas.  I photographed this little guy’s baby sister a few years ago and they turned out great, so I’ve been looking forward to these for a while now.  He didn’t disappoint, did he? I absolutely love the way the photos with dad and the kids turned out.

  • Holiday Sessions

    Holiday Sessions 2013 {Florida Keys Family Photographer}

    Every year around the end of October, I start offering shorter sessions for a reduced price.  I do this to allow families to update their holiday photos for cards or gifts.  This year, I photographed almost 30 families in about 5 weeks.  It was busy, but I enjoyed it alot.  I got to see toddlers that I hadn’t seen since their newborn sessions and families I hadn’t seen since the year before.  I tried to get a picture from each session for the slideshow below.  Check them out below.

  • Weddings

    Blair & Michael {Duck Key Wedding Photographer}

    When Blair contacted me about capturing her wedding with Michael earlier this year, I jumped at the opportunity.  I knew she’d be a gorgeous, fun bride and that the wedding ceremony would be beautiful.  Nestled in the backyard of a private residence in Duck Key, Blair and Michael said their “I Dos” in an intimate ceremony before heading next door to Michael’s parent’s backyard for a awesome reception.  The ceremony was beautiful and the reception was filled with lots of people who obviously love these two very much.  We took a brief party break to get some shots at various locations throughout Duck Key before returning for the “First Dance” and a few toasts.  I’m honored to have been a part of this special day.
