Gainesville Photographer | Atlantic Beach Shoot

One of my New Years resolutions was to challenge myself in my photography and to do some shoots just for me. So I have had this shoot in my head for quite some time, it was just a matter of finding the perfect model, and location. Luckily for me, I have a very supporting husband who will let me take off to the beach for the day to chase my dream.

I love working with families and children, but these shoots can be somewhat limiting depending on the age of the children. Toddlers aren’t a big fan of being told to hold a pose! So this was so much fun for me, and completely different from what I normally shoot.

The light was beautiful, and the wind although annoying for the model, really made the pictures. I was so glad I went out and did this. It was so good to get my creative juices flowing, and to challenge myself.

Note to self: do more shoots just because!

Wow!Those pictures said a lot without words. The way you've captured the model's expressions, and the angles in which they were shot really turned out beautifully. Well done. I'm happy for you to have lived out a dream…..keep up the good work.

These are beautiful and very inspiring. What a perfect model for the shoot too.

Gainesville Photographer | Wildflower Field Session

This session was so much fun! Ms. M was on her best behavior, and was so willing to sit among the flowers. Mom and Dad are so fun to photograph. They come with some of their own poses and ideas, and are great at getting their little one look into the camera.

If you want your own wildflower session, you can find the info here.
