Nikki The Fashionista

  I've known Nikki since she was just a baby girl! A few years back she married a good friend of mine, Danny Wilder, and I was the photographer at their wedding. For the majority of her life Nikki has had long, beautiful dark hair that most girls just dream of having!!
  Imagine my surprise when I saw her for the first time in months and all of her hair was buzzed off!! Not only was her hair short, but it was now blonde! Shock…Surprise…Confusion…Sadness…These were just a few of the feelings I felt at first site! My shock then turned into imaginative creativity. I said "Nikki, we have to get you in front of a camera!" She then exclaimed: "That was my thought EXACTLY".

Natasha The Luminous

Natasha is one of those girls that is instantly comfortable in front of a camera. I find it refreshing and effortless to be able to work with someone of this caliber!
  If you are just now getting to know my work, I prefer to shoot either very early morning or late in the day when the light is at it's dreamiest. (I call this "Magic Hour") It's not necessarily an hour, nor is it magic but it makes for the absolute perfect lighting for dramatic portraiture. I can actually use the light from the sun as an extra fill or backlight, depending on the mood I want to portray.

The Damron Family

The Damron family came down on vacation from Ohio to stay on the beautiful beach/island of Boca Grande. We started shooting at about 4:00 and went until sunset at around 5:30. We hopped to 3 different locations which made for a nice array of photo ops  and lighting situations. The photos tell it all…We had a blast!
