St. Augustine, Florida Lighthouse Wedding

Earlier this month I was asked to second shoot a wedding for a friend and fellow photographer.  I was beyond excited to 1) be asked and 2) to spend some time, working or not, with a friend!  The wedding ceremony and reception was at the St. Augustine Lighthouse and it was perfect. It was warm but not too warm.  The sun was shining bright, but not too bright and most importantly friends and family were there to celebrate the couples union.  <3

Mother’s Day Photo Sessions | Jacksonville, FL and St. Augustine, FL Photographer

Mother’s Day is rapidly approaching and to celebrate your amazing, loving, caring, hard-working moms and grandmother’s out there, I am hosting a Mother’s Day Mini Session Event! I am so excited for this one because we have a beautiful location scheduled and a day where moms and grandmother’s can come together with their children (and don’t forget the fury children!) and capture precious memories. We will be shooting at the serene Walter Jones Historical Park in Mandarin (Jacksonville, Florida). This park is located along the St. John’s river with an old store, barn, trails and an amazing white house all on the property! I thought it would be perfect for mini sessions because there are no cookie cutter locations…every session can have its own unique feel if you want it to. It will be a very special event and I hope you will join in the fun! Please look below for details. I hope to see you there!

It’s a Greeting Card Type of Day

I love homemade cards. I’ll admit I like cutting paper and using markers and stamps, but let’s be honest, I do not have the time. Sad story, I know ;) Personal confession coming: I love shopping.  I love shopping online. Pursuing through different blogs for ideas, stores and inspirations should be a paying job as far as I’m concerned.

While browsing the web one day I came across one of my now greeting car affiliates, Card Store, and they currently offering an AWESOME greeting card promotion: a FREE greeting card! They are offering 10,000, yes you read that right, 10,000 free cards, per day everyday, until January 15th.

How the heck do YOU do you get your free card?  It’s simple! Just click on the link below, pick out your fav for your fav person (remember your besties birthday is coming soon and I bet you need a card to send her/him) and then you’re done! But don’t forget, the Card Store is only offering free cards until THIS Sunday, January 15th

I.Love.Simplicity.

Ponte Vedra, Florida – {A} Family Photos

 

 

Hi everyone! I want to wish you a belated Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!  November and December seemed to disappear in a blink of an eye for me – Naturally the months proceeding Christmas are a busy time for family photographs, and I want to send a special thank you to all of my clients in 2011 :) I am excited to share a few of the images from the {A} Family beach photo session.  I met Michelle at an event I was doing a photo-booth at for my son’s school.  The stars were aligned that night for us to meet as she was the BEST volunteer I’ve ever met!  She became my public relations coordinate for for Deirdre Ann Photography, and hands down an awesome one.  We hit it off and I was thrilled when she mentioned that her family was needing their holiday pictures done and asked if I was available. Uhhh YEAH! I’d love to!

Michelle had chosen Mickler Beach in Ponte Vedra for their family session. The day was perfect: warm, not too humid, the children looked so adorable in their holiday outfits and the beach crowd was minimal. Sounds like a perfect early December day to hit the beach for some photos to me!!  Thank you so much to the {A} Family for asking me to be their photographer! It was an honor!
