Meet Anina and Johnny!!! What a cute couple these two are, both so sweet and {once broken out of their shell} quite funny! Anina and Johnny met through mutual friends EIGHT years ago and Johnny, AKA Mr. Romantic, remembered the exact day they met and planned an elaborate year long proposal plan that was to take place on this exact same date-December 18! During a holiday gift exchange Anina opened a gift from Johnny with an adorable book inside that stated the following: "Tonight I hope you say yes.....to give me the opportunity to be your ONE and ONLY...Will you marry me? [ ] Yes [ ] No [ ] Maybe" Classically adorable! Of course she said yes <3 This was another engagement session that I'm obsessing over! We debated back and forth for weeks about where to shoot and we were on the hunt for "lots of flowers." We ended up at The University of Tampa and then Hyde Park where I had fun getting creative with the colorful flowers, plant life, gorgeous scenery and so many fun areas to play with downtown! I'm so happy for these two and know that they are true soulmates. I'm thankful to have met them both! Congrats, love birds!

Megan & Kristian {witha-k, of course!} Let me just start off by saying that I LOVED the idea of shooting at the Trop in St Pete. For those of you who don't know what I mean when I say "The Trop"...get with the program Tampa Bay! Tropicana Field, home of the Rays, was a great place to start with these two. They came dressed in their sports gear and were ready for action. I loved the playful spirit of Megan when she put on Kristian's hat-she worked that camera! After some fun at the Trop we headed downtown for some more elegant sunset shots. They were careful not to fall into the water as I had them standing on the sea wall as to get as close to the water as possible. It wasn't an easy task for either of us-while they prevented falling, I tried my best not to get run over by bikers, skate boarders, and runners zooming up and down the sidewalk! We finished the evening with a few night shots where I told them "Hold very, very still...I promise these will be cool!" They did great and I love the variety of shots we got during their session. I can't wait to photograph your wedding next year! :)
Jillian and Josh are just as sweet as can be, and I love when couples incorporate their children and pets into a session! After all, a marriage is a blending not just of each other but of each other's entire lives. As with many engagement sessions I do, the soon-to-be wife is much more thrilled with taking pictures for two hours than the soon-to-be husband...but I'm always happy to say that when a session is complete, HE loves the photos just as much as SHE does even if it was torture getting through it ;) ha ha! My favorite photo from this session is this one right below with Jillian donning Josh's fire helmet. It is amazing to honor our hometown heroes and I love when a woman is proud of her man! I feel blessed to be able to photograph fire, police and military in uniform! Thanks for letting me capture these memories for you and I'll be seeing you both again in one short month for your wedding!
Nicole and Travis were just great!!! I loved every minute of shooting these two. They both have infectious energy and Nicole's laugh is simply contagious! We had a blast and I'm definitely looking forward to their wedding next spring! We hit a lot of different spots during this Tampa engagement session. Clint and I brought down our full studio set up so we could do a "stars and stripes" theme in their apartment-it was something different for my typical engagement session and I love how these turned out! Next we went onto McDill for some waterfront property and as soon as we got out of the car the wind kicked in high gear! I timed the shots to when Nicole's hair was laying nicely {but she always looks beautiful, regardless!} We finished up with some night shots which is semi-new territory for us but I love the way they pop against the dark sky and gorgeous Tampa night lights. Thanks for a great evening guys and we're both so happy for you!
I loved shooting Brianne & Kyle-not just because they are awesome {which they are!!} but also because it was such an adventure. Downtown Tampa is pretty much new territory for me as I'm more of the nature/country/sunset kind of gal...but this was too much fun! We walked all around downtown Tampa shooting in the streets {while evading cars and timing the stop lights to see how much time we had in the middle of the road} and then making it over to the waterfront as the sun sunk below the horizon to get some awesome night shots! During this session I laid down on several downtown dirty roads, rolled around in the grass, and we all sweat like we've never sweat before! But it was all worth it-just look at the result. I love the diversity of the photos in this session and the great ideas Brianne came with! I cannot wait to photograph these two next February as they say "I Do"!!
