Monica’s Maternity Session at Fort DeSoto

Early in the morning on the Tuesday after Christmas dad met Monica and Jeff at Fort DeSoto for a maternity session.  On that day three years before, dad was with Monica and Jeff as Monica’s sister Rachel married Seth in a beautiful ceremony by the water.  It has been wonderful for us to keep in touch with Rachel and Seth and to meet and photograph their adorable son!  Now their son will soon have a new cousin and on Rachel and Seth’s anniversary dad was with Monica and Jeff, photographing Jeff playing the guitar for his baby just as he played the guitar during the wedding ceremony three years before.  We LOVE what we do!

Mail and Ads and Blogs: Our Pictures Put to Use!

Mom Blogging:

I love seeing our images put to use.  In the mail the other day we received Caroline and David’s Save the Date card.  They are such a sweet couple and we loved the picture they chose from their engagement session!  It shows what a cute couple they are and how happy they are to be in love.  We’ve been hearing some of the planning details from Caroline’s wonderful mom and it is going to be an amazing wedding!

Also in the mail we received a thank you card from newlyweds Marisol and Neil.  It had a pretty flower cut out on the front:

and a nice message to Jason thanking him for photographing their wedding on the inside:

Elissa and Rick were also just married and are a terrific couple.  I got to meet them at our Christmas party and they were great people.  After seeing their images they wrote:

Jason,

Thank you so much for the amazing job you did at our wedding!  Everyone (including us) was amazed at you being everywhere!  The pictures are great – I think you got a pic of everyone who was there!  Now the hard part is picking out which pictures we want:)  Thank you also for the Christmas party invite – it was great to meet your family!  You are great at what you do.  Thank you.

Elissa and Rick

It was also fun for us to see two of our pictures in Michele Renee Hair and Makeup Artist Group‘s ad in the Perfect Wedding Guide (on the right):

Wedding blogs are a great place to get ideas for your own wedding planning.  Brenda’s Wedding Blog is a great one with daily updates and lots of pictures.  We are honored that she shared a ring pictures from Stephanie and Nick’s wedding on her “Ringing in the New Year” blog post!

Seeing our pictures put to great uses, getting these terrific thank you cards…2010 is starting off wonderfully!

Cousins and a New Baby Boy!

Kendra and Brandon recently celebrated their first anniversary!  Just one week later, they welcomed a beautiful baby boy into their family.  We are so happy for them!  Dad has photographed their engagement session, wedding, and Kendra’s Back in the Dress session so he was very excited to meet their son and see their family grow.  Kendra’s sister and her amazing family came for pictures as well.  They were a blast and seemed really happy and relaxed for having three young boys:).  Dad said it was a great time.  Congratulations again to Kendra and Brandon!

Mom loved this “outtake”:

Only Kendra and Brandon’s adorable daughter could looked so gorgeous and poised on a big concrete block!

Baby brother (and his AWESOME shoes!):

One of mom’s favorites:

So cute!  You may have noticed that we used to have this blog post named after this image but we were getting some crazy search terms so we changed it.

Cynthia and Andre’s Ybor City Engagement Session

When dad walked up and saw Andre’s Blink If You Want Me tee shirt, he knew this session was going to be awesome.  Cynthia and Andre had their engagement session in Ybor the day after Christmas.  They are such a cute couple and dad had a blast with them!  He was so bummed that he was booked for their wedding date. Cynthia and Andre, doesn’t April 11th sound like it would be a great day to be married instead?

We wish you two all the best.  We know you will still be laughing with each other when you are an old married couple.

The headphones they put on ROCK!

Lindsay and David’s Engagement Session at the University of Tampa

The morning after Christmas Day dad met up with Lindsay and David for their engagement session at the University of Tampa.  Dad had a good time with them and is looking forward to their wedding the day after Thanksgiving.  The first thing mom noticed when looking through their pictures was Lindsay’s gorgeous yellow heels!  Mom thinks she should wear them again with her wedding gown.  See you next holiday season Lindsay and David!
