I drove out to the Tampa area for this newborn shoot and it was totally worth it. Hailey is as precious as they come! She was awake for most of our photo shoot so you get to see her beautiful eyes and I honestly don’t think Mom and Dad could quit looking at her…and I could hardly blame them. Meet the Bentz family…

This is the continuation of Kelly & Efren’s perfect wedding day featuring the ceremony and reception. The ceremony and reception were both held at Paradise Cove on an absolutely beautiful day. The reception featured fun mini cupcakes, the Kelfren Cocktail, lots of friends and family and a few male dancers! Kelly and Efren sang to each other during the last dance, made their bubble exit and headed off to their paradise honeymoon in Hawaii. Yes, it was perfect!

Kelly & Efren’s wedding day was everything a wedding day should be-full of family, friends, laughter, hugs and lots of love! It was a true Florida wedding held at Paradise Cove with a beach side setting. It started out a little windy and overcast but as the wedding was about to begin that all changed as the sky turned blue and the wind took on a nice breeze-perfect! Kelly & Efren are both unassuming and sweet and both have a crazy sense of humor that definitely came through in the best man and maid of honor speeches (more on the ceremony and reception in the next post…) For now I want to share with you all the pre-ceremony fun and their private first look!
Venue: Paradise Cove

My family has been involved in the flowboarding world since, oh, around 2007. So I have been photographing flowboarders for several years now. I don’t have any special water sports equipment, such as a water housing…it’s just me and my camera. I, of course, love to photograph both my husband and son flowboarding and have captured several great shots of them. When I was asked to photograph Sean Silveira, the three time world flowboarding champion (who happens to be a friend of ours) for the World Flowboarding Championships poster I was definitely excited. I have photographed Sean on several occasions but for this shoot he said that we just needed a good spray. So Sean rode and I shot and we sent in our favorites and this is what happened…
