I decided in January of 2023 to push myself out of my comfort zone as a creative. This started with a model call asking a couple different ladies to rent a beautiful gown and let me create a gorgeous session for them. The first was the gold gown / airport session back in February. The […]

A Fresh Start
Whew! I still can’t believe it’s 2014 already! I hope everyone had a safe and happy Christmas and New Year celebration. I have been fully enjoying having my kids out of school, having no schedule, sleeping in, spending time with family and loved ones, and trying to pack in as much last minute fun as […]
Arielle [Lakeland portrait photography]
A few months ago I was out exploring new parts of Polk County with my family. We found this great new location that I just knew would be an amazing spot for a photo shoot. I could immediately envision how the images would look and what kind of lighting I wanted to try. It has […]
