Princess Gabriella

Gabriella’s free spirit was one thing that inspired me to create this shoot. Her mom and I drove all around until we found this wonderfully untamed field of tall, lush grass where I, pretty much, told her to do whatever she wanted. Her all time favorite Princess is Snow White- so I was also inspired about that and thought why not incorporate some apples. I brought a barrel of ripe red apples which she enjoyed to munch on but they […]

{Frankie Luchiano}

It’s a Boy!! Completing their “Mob” Family is little Frankie Luchiano! He arrived On December 15th, 2009!! And although I was not allowed in for the actual delivery of the baby due to some circumstances I was there every minute before and after little Frankie arrived. Abbey and Geo were just ecstatic about the new addition. It was a special day for the family, not only because of Frankie’s arrival, but because loved ones like Geo’s mother and Abbey’s father […]

{Mommy-to-be-(again) Abigayil}

You’ll probably see a lot of Abbey and her family on my blog… not only because she’s a great friend of mine and Jarrad’s cousin… but because her children are just so darn beautiful!  I guess when you get Italians and Cubans together… as Abbey would say… “Forget about it”. 😉  With 2 kids already here Abbey and Geo decided to make the sex of their third child a surprise. I mean, why not, they already have girls and boys […]

{Tina + Jack}

Roswell, Georgia, Super cool couple!! I met Jack through my boss, Mike Moreland, who shot his and Tina’s wedding several years ago.

Anyways, Jack hung out with me at a little to learn a few […]

{Lee and Bud} 60th year of marriage

You two are role models for everyone who believes in eternal love, for those who trust that there really is a “one and only.” You are role models for the benefits of a happy marriage through unconditional love for one person for sixty years. You are role models, showing that two are better than one, that it is better to be a team in facing life’s challenges. You are role models for commitment, for caring, for unselfish devotion. Happy sixtieth […]

{Andrea + Jay}

Estero Beach, Florida,  As a Present to my brother and his wife, Andrea, I wanted to do a couples portrait session of them on the beach. They were married a few years back and had few pictures of them together. They are such a cute couple- I cannot tell you what an amazing influence Andrea has had on my brother’s life. Coming from a town in Germany, Andrea started her life here in America several years ago. She hasn’t lost […]

When back in my hometown of Naples, Florida I met up with Jenna […]

Best Friends Forever

Carpinteria, California, Janae and Alexa are two of the funniest little girls I know. Get them together and they’ll go on and on like little old women- it’s hilarious. These two have known each other since they were just days old and spend time together as often as I go to starbucks! (a lot!).  I was invited by my wonderfully amazing friend Mallory (who happens to be Janae’s cousin and total IDOL) to a beach outing with the girls in […]
