Boudoir, Babies and Sunsets

I had the pleasure of photographing this family's engagement session years ago and now I am overjoyed to be photographing their beautiful miracle of pregnancy! This gorgeous mama has since given birth to two healthy, beautiful baby boys. What a great memory she has forever of her amazing body housing her two precious gifts.

A Farm Wedding to Remember

We had the absolute pleasure of photographing Kelsey and Ryan's February Farm wedding located at Old Mcmicky's Farm in Odessa Fl. While the bride prepared in a rustic cabin in the woods (we even got some cows to wish her luck!), the groom and his men enjoyed dressing in the big red barn. The couple said "I do" down by the lake and partied into the night with a live band under the twinkling lights and stars. This wedding was so beautifully unique- one for the books!

Hair and Makeup: Beautiful You.  Music: Matt Winters Band. Floral and decor: 2Birds Events . Catering: 4Rivers Smoakhouse. Event planning: Exquisite Events. Cake: Chantilly Cakes.

An intimate affair

Carla and Daryl said "I do" under the Spanish Moss at sunset, surrounded by friends and family. Located at "The Founders Club" in Sarasota, this intimate wedding was small and breathtaking. The bride, dressed in lace, beamed as she walked down the aisle. The happiness continued in a gold-adorned reception hall as a singer entertained during their three-course meal.

Christine and John say "I do"

Words cannot express the beauty of this very original wedding. Taking place at "A Vintage Afair" at Lake Ashby Farms, this unique and whimsical wedding was one for the ages! Complete with a wooden floral bouquet, farm animals and a barn reception, Christine and John laughed through their wedding day under the twinkling lights that complimented the bright stars.

A Funky boudoir shoot

I recently partnered with Aly from "The Littlest Funk" for a fun boudoir session. Being a mother of 2 beautiful girls, Aly, like many moms, struggled with accepting her post partum body. She told me, however that she had recently and finally reached a place where she could accept and even love her new curves, stretch marks and overall proof that she had brought lives into this world. What better way to celebrate this new found confidence than with a boudoir experience! She admitted that she was so nervous but the nerves quickly fizzled out as the champagne was sipped and the photographs continued. She blossomed into a confident, sexy, strong woman right before our eyes! During her reveal session, where she was shown her images for the first time, she became teary-eyed and openly admitted "I can't stop staring at myself, I'm hot!" There is nothing conceded or selfish about loving the way you look and I wish more women (especially mothers) would openly admit that they are indeed, hot!

Be sure to follow Aly's blog (The Littlest Funk) to read all about her boudoir experience from her point of view!

Strong body, powerful body

This beautiful mommy-to-be embraced her curves and belly and rocked her session, showing off her baby bump for the world to see- as she should! Mommies- be proud of your bellies, stretch marks, scars and changes that your bodies will go through. It's proof that you are more powerful that you know. Love your body- pre and post baby!

Maggie gave birth to a beautiful baby boy less than 2 weeks after her maternity boudoir session <3

Body Positivity

This is Kiera. She is a body positive model and we can all agree that she is stunning! 
After chatting a bit with her, I learned that she is young, fabulous and single. We started talking about weight, confidence, beauty ect.. She told me that she has recently and finally learned to love her body and accept it- curves and all. She explained that she is currently at her heaviest yet has never been hit on more than now...because of the confidence she exudes! 
Confidence is SO SEXY! Be healthy. Be comfortable in your skin. Learn to love your curves and edges.

Nothing is sexier! <3
