Painted Sunset {Florida Art Photographer}

This past Fourth of July offered beautiful color in more than just the fireworks!  The sunset at Indian Rocks Beach, Fl was a spectacular display of blues, purples, oranges, reds and more.  I want to hang this print in my home which has more of the aqua blues, so I played with the hues to match my home  The more pink and purple tones is more like the actual colors.  Do you have a preferance?

Wild Blue Yonder - {Jacksonville Family Photographer}

Just a quick peek at a family session from this past weekend!

More to come!

Michael - {Jacksonville Senior Photographer}

Graduation Congratulations to Michael!  I really enjoyed getting the opportunity to shoot his senior session.  I love incorporating his Navy ties as well as his talent for basketball.   Great things are in store for this 6ft + (I'm going to guess 6'8" but may be taller!) senior!

On a side note - it was a fun challenge to get the dark studio"esque" look to the basketball shots.  We did these outdoors at 6pm (still plenty of daylight).  Not too bad if I do say so myself.  :)

NAS Jax Air Show - {Jacksonville Photographer}

Attended my first Air Show this weekend! It was the NAS Jacksonville Air Show in, well, Jacksonville, Fl.   What a great time!  I have to tell you my heart stopped a few times as these insanely talented pilots flew crazy loops, through fire and upside down.  I took so many, I will be narrowing down what finally gets edited for a little while.  In the mean time, I knew this was my favorite as soon as I snapped it.  The Immortals put on a heck of a fiery show.  More to come, including the Blue Angels!

Macro Monday - Mushrooms!

I don't know if it was because it had rained so much during the preceding weeks, but there were mushrooms everywhere in the back yard.  Different types of mushrooms at that.  And it wasn't just limited to my yard, but in yards around the neighborhood and the nearby park areas too.

So what is one to do with these mushrooms?  Well I say, macro them!  Here is just one of several images I took.   Come back next week for more, but in the meantime, here's one of my favorites.

Catherine - 2015 Senior {Tampa Bay Photographer}

During my last visit to Tampa, I had the great fortune to photograph Catherine's senior photos.  It was a session that almost didn't take place.  Forecasts were for rain, but we kept our fingers crossed and thankfully held off long enough for us to get in about 30 minutes.  Catherine rocked the limited session and we ended up getting some really great shots.  BTW - those are her eyes!  Not photoshop - it's all mom and dad's work!  

Congratulations Catherine!

Alex - Senior 2015 - Tampa Bay Photographer

Meet Alex!  She is a senior this year and I had the pleasure of taking her senior pictures during my last trip to Tampa.  She is as beautiful inside as she is out!  We headed out early in the morning to John Chestnut Park.  Loved the beautiful dock there on Lake Tarpon!

Best wishes for your senior year Alex!

THOMAS - {2015 High School Senior Photographer}

I was so happy to be able to photograph Thomas for his senior photos.  His mom, Laurie was so great working with me to time the session during one of my trips back him to Tampa.  

Thomas is one of four brothers that you've seen on my blog a few times.  It's hard to believe that he's a senior already - maybe in part because my youngest is also a senior this year - oh jeeze - really?  How did that happen already? Time is flying!  So sorry - back to the session…

I absolutely love the location and can't believe I had never held on here before.  It won't be the last time, that's for sure.  Where you ask?  Fred Howard Park in Tarpon Springs.  So many options.  When you enter the park, there's some nice Florida greenery with lots of native palms and underbrush.  We didn't get to shoot in this area, but I will next time.  Once you are through the park, there is a road out to this small stamp of beach, complete with rocks, life guard stand, beautiful white sand, water and sun!  

Congratulations Thomas!  Have a great senior year.
