Kaylie | Gentle Beauty

Kaylie | Gentle Beauty

I admire strong women, passionate leaders and go-getters who make things happen. There are countless I could name that inspire me. Their strength is beautiful. But there is also another side to womanhood that I greatly admire - gentleness. It is often overlooked as weakness, but I don't think so. There can be so much strength in gentleness. I think it can be one of the most mesmerizing qualities of womanhood. It is a mysterious and natural virtue that brings forth a certain je ne sais quoi. Whatever it is, Kaylie has it. Her beauty exudes from such a sweet and natural place. Her gentle soul is a priceless gem. It also doesn't hurt that she's effortlessly gorgeous. I am honored to call her friend.

Epping Forest Maternity Session

Epping Forest Maternity Session

The Epping Forest Yacht Club is one of my favorite venues in Jacksonville. Of course, any place with beautiful architecture is bound to make my little heart skip a beat. Add a stylish mama to that mix and we have something truly amazing. Lynnell is a girl of style. She has such a keen eye for details and pulling together a fabulous look. Can we just talk about her dress for a moment? How gorgeous!  It was such a pleasure to work with this gorgeous mama and her sweet little family.

Mother & Daughter | Santa Rosa Beach Film Photographer

I guess it's because I'm a new mom that this image pulls my heartstrings so much. There is something so special about a mama and her girl. It's a beautiful bond. These two were the sweetest and I can't wait to share more of their sweet beach-side session. These two beauties were a dream to create art with by the pastel colored sea waters. It has me longing for my little one to be old enough to explore the beach with me. One thing is for sure, I could photograph mama's and their babies all day long!

There is almost nothing I adore more than photographing love in the most beautiful places. This gorgeous afternoon with Suzanne and Luke at this magical Southern estate was no exception. They are so in love and perfectly at ease with one another. The blooming arbors of Jasmine was nothing short of ethereal. I could have stayed with these two all day and been perfectly content. I cannot wait to photograph their beautiful wedding this Autumn!

Sarah Beth & Graeson | Rosemary Beach FL Engagement

Sarah Beth & Graeson | Rosemary Beach FL Engagement

As I travel, I take note of all the romantic places I discover. I'm blessed to have one of them right in my backyard. (Give or take an hour!) The gulf coast of Florida's panhandle is home to the most gorgeous beaches. Jonathan and I went to the Caribbean islands on our honeymoon. We thought it was beautiful, but I think we've been a little spoiled by our gorgeous ocean views near home. I was so when Sarah Beth and Graeson decided they wanted their engagements at Rosemary Beach. Their family has a beach house nearby, so it was the perfect backdrop for their love! Sarah Beth and Graeson are like two peas in a pod. I don't think I could even imagine them apart! They are incredibly natural together, which only makes sense for a couple who has been in love a long time. I'm so excited to be a part of these precious highschool sweetheart's day this summer! Until then, enjoy these images of how gorgeous they are together!
