I had another repeat client session recently with the McElhinney family. It’s been such an incredible journey with Kirsten and TJ since their engagement session 10 years ago! From capturing their wedding to their first baby announcement and a beach gender reveal with colored smoke cannons, I’ve had the honor of documenting so many special memories. This latest session, with help from Kirsten’s mom, their kids, and their dog, was another special chapter. I look forward to continuing to watch their family grow up!

Golden hour at Vilano Beach made this senior session perfection, complete with her adorable pup, Oreo! I first photographed this family five years ago in Palm Coast, and it was such a joy to reconnect again during this session in St Augustine. It looks like a theme here this week… I’m loving these repeat clients!

Full circle moments like this are why I love what I do! Cory, Mallory, and their two adorable kids brought the fun and smiles to their session with me at the Castillo de San Marcos. Adding to the mix, Cory’s parents joined us, making this session feel more like how we first met…

Fun fact: Cory first stepped in front of my camera back in 2009 with his family when he was a high school senior. It’s been such an honor to capture their milestones (proposal, wedding, maternity, and family) and watch their family grow over the years. Moments like these are the ultimate reminder of why I cherish the bonds I build with my clients, celebrating these special moments in their lives. My favorites are the relationships that grow into lifelong connections! 💕

Chloe and Logan brought a touch of magic to their engagement session in downtown St. Augustine. Her light blue dress gave Cinderella vibes by the city gates, reminding me of a Disney castle entrance! Their love story began online while he was traveling for work, followed by a long-distance romance before he moved to Ponte Vedra to be with her. He proposed in the charming courtyard of the Lightner Museum, and now they’re planning their dream wedding at next May. Capturing their joy was an absolute honor!

✨ The Proposal Story of Tony & Nina ✨

Tony and Nina’s journey together reached a new chapter on Aviles Street, surrounded by love, laughter, and a perfect touch of surprise. After five beautiful years together, Tony knew it was time to pop the question—so with the help of his sister, he created a plan to make it unforgettable.

The setup? Tony’s sister coordinated a “chance” meetup, inviting them to swing by her photoshoot on Aviles Street before heading out for a celebratory dinner at Nonna’s Trattoria, a spot filled with special memories for the couple. Little did Nina know, a breathtaking proposal scene was waiting for her. With the help of Laurel from there were lighted letters and stunning decor transformed the street into a moment she’d never forget. And as she turned to see Tony on one knee, 13 of their closest family and friends stood by, cheering with excitement and joy, witnessing the start of their new chapter together.

And here’s the best part: Nina had just come off an incredible high, winning every category in her NPC fitness competition in Daytona the day before—including the Overall title! It was a weekend full of victories and unforgettable memories. 🏆💍

Congratulations to the newly engaged Tony & Nina! Here’s to many more years of love, adventure, and beautiful surprises like this one. 🌹✨

I had an awesome time photographing this talented senior recently at both the fort and the beach! A couple of years ago, I captured some beautiful family moments with them by the water, and I was so thrilled they reached out again for his senior session.

Logan is a standout both in and out of the classroom, staying active with multiple clubs (including chess ♟️) and he’s a dedicated member of the swim team with early morning practices before school! 🏊‍♂️ Here’s to celebrating all his accomplishments and the exciting journey ahead. Wishing him the best in his senior year!

Hi everyone! It’s been a while. We took the summer off from social media while the kids were out of school. As anyone with young children knows, it’s quite an adventure while entertaining for days on end. We took a few trips and had lots of photo shoots. We will be playing catch up here. I wanted to feature Kayla and Matt’s engagement session. We toured around downtown and got a little of everything. The bayfront, fort, plaza, and of course the cute little backstreets.

Not everyone is willing to get up at sunrise for their session but the results are magical. Davis and Haley were up for it. She thought it was just a photo session but then he dropped to one knee and popped the question. Their family was waiting to come out and congratulate them. Of course she said yes. Congratulation you two.
