Hard to believe that an entire year has gone by…. and the little “blessed baby” is now turning one! Remember this photos?

To celebrate her birthday her grandparents came down from South Carolina and her parents invited me up to Jacksonville to do her first year photos. Miss Z has grown into such a beautiful little toddler- just check out her big blue eyes! We met in San Mateo Square for these photos- it was a photographer’s dream setting. Even though it was sprinkling out we were able to get plenty of photos under the covered gazebo, and once the rain stopped we went down by the river for some sunset photos.

As promised here are a few more from Tara and Wil’s wedding this past weekend in Jacksonville. Iwill be adding some more detail shots to this post as I get through the editing…. but first, the shoes.

Just playing with light and contrast here…..

In this one I love, love, love the way he is looking at her. This is their walk down the aisle as man and wife, and that look sums up to me what total infatuation is all about.

This past Saturday I was lucky enough to be asked to photograph Tara and Wil’s wedding in Jacksonville, FL. Wil is a firefighter with the City of Jacksonville and used to be my partner with the fire department in Alachua County, so it was extra special for me to be there for them on their special day. After a beautiful ceremony at the Joint Heirs church, followed by a reception at the Fairfield Inn, Wil and Tara escaped for a quick two day getaway in Saint Augustine before Wil had to be back to work today. It was easy to tell in the time spent with this couple how loved they are by their family and friends, and that set the tone for the entire wedding. You will see much more of this stunning couple in the days to come as I go through their proofs, but for now here is a sneak peek!

This week I had the pleasure of photographing Baby Zofi all the way in Jacksonville! Her Mom is a fellow nestie and we had a great time. Thank you Mary and Piotr for welcoming me into your home. Zofi is 10 weeks old and is such a little darling. Enjoy your sneak peek!
