The Sexton Family

Jolie and I were so happy when we were able to photograph our good friends the Sextons. We've been trying for months to set up a session with them but life and its complexities and intricacies conspired to prevent it...but we finally did it! We had a really good time with them and as ever tackled the challenge of getting several small children to look at you and smile all at the same time. (It's harder than you think! :-) But a beautiful family, beautiful day, and lots of laughing made it easy and enjoyable!

Lil' Drake, he's such a poser. We've photographed him before and the instant he sees the camera he's getting his model on! So cute!

I can just imagine what they're thinking. Life for them has just about hit a high point. :-)

You're a lucky man, John!

Nessa, so pretty.

I love this shot, little guy aspiring to be like his big cousin (even though his cousin did get a leg up from his mom. :-)

Just a little wet from a date with the fountain.

Kevin & Danielle -Engagement

We were pretty excited about this shoot when Kevin and Danielle told us they wanted to use an urban location. We don't often get a chance with a couple to shoot in a good urban setting but we did with them, and they did a great job! Danielle very willingly (and a bit gingerly) picked her way down trashy, wet alleyways in our quest for the perfect spots. Fortunately, for them and her spotless pink shoes and his very white tennis shoes we eventually left the alleyways and headed into cleaner parts of the town. Kevin and Danielle did a great job and the resulting photos were great. Thanks guys!

Danielle has the most beautiful, big black eyes you've ever seen. Immediately after we met them for the first time our first thoughts were, "I can't wait to photograph those eyes!"

We loved this fire escape we found! It allowed for some dramatic shots of the couple.

Dramatic shots like this. :-)

There are those eyes again! (Sorry Kevin you have very nice eyes too. :-)

They are such a playful couple. Works wonders for taking pictures!

Ok, the science of a dipping kiss is well, a science. We had to work a while before we got it down to perfection.

Delbert and Joanna - Wedding

I think this gets my vote for the most relaxed wedding we have had to date. If there were any frayed nerves I didn't see it. The bride got ready right next to the church and so Jolie and I went there to take pictures of her dress, etc. and while we worked she just busied herself around the kitchen washing dishes, smiling and laughing the whole time. And we had so much time to work with the bride and groom after the ceremony taking pictures of them it was wonderful. They were so blissfully happy we finally suggested we might better leave to get to the reception. They didn't have a care in the world they were so happy! It was a lot of fun to be around them.

I thought this was so cute. That's the miniature groom's dad being helped by the groom's mom.

We were so impressed; the bride put together all the bouquets and she had never done anything like that before!

This is Jolie's favorite. They look so cute and sweet and happy. Plus they're going to live on a farm in Pennsylvania and this location came about as close to looking like their future home as we could get in Florida. :-)

This is my favorite picture. The walls of that house made such a great background!

Jolie and I recently realized that even though we have tons of great products that we offer to complement our sessions many people don't know about them! So we decided to showcase the great products occassionally here on our blog. Hope you enjoy the posts. :-)

Below is one of our press printed books. We're very proud of these books because they showcase your pictures in a very attractive and professional format. The pages in the book are printed directly onto 100#, semi-gloss paper and UV coated to prevent fading in order to create a sturdy, durable book.

The books are available in several sizes. 5x5, 5x7, 8.5x11, 8x8, 8x12, 10x10, 12x12 and 11x14. (The sample book below is a 10x10.)

Also the pages are hinged in a unique process that allows open pages to lay flat as well as provide a thicker, more upscale paper option.

Think of the pages as a combination of the vibrant, glossy print process of a National Geographic magazine and thick, sturdy card stock note cards.

The books are unmatched in print quality and craftsmanship because, as usual, we use the best professional labs to process and print our photos and products.

The book covers are available in 30 options including suede, leather, fabric and vintage leather. The cover below is alligator (faux :-).

Cover options available.

Best of all we custom design the books exclusively for you using pictures that you have chosen to be in the album. And we don't print it until you have previewed and approved the final product. We'll redesign the layout as many times as necessary to ensure your satisfaction.
