Double Feature!
Yesterday I had two completely different photo sessions, both with wonderful people I'm so happy to have met!
I started the day off with the beautiful Fishman family. We headed down to Ballast Point Park in Tampa, and although I thought we might be a little chilly with our morning start time, it quickly warmed up to be a truly perfect day! I don't know how I get so lucky, meeting all these wonderful people, but I could just tell that this family loves each other so much. It was a joy just spending time with them and watching them interact and play together. Of course I must mention the main reason for this photo shoot was to celebrate Mr. and Mrs. Fishman's 30th wedding anniversary. Congratulations!! Here are a few sneak peeks for you...more to come soon!
After I finished up with the Fishman family I repacked and headed out to Seffner to meet up with Jimmy and Vanessa. I'd been talking with Vanessa for weeks about ideas for their engagement session, and was soooo looking forward to their shoot! The first time I met Vanessa I felt that instant *click!* We were both totally on the same page as far as our tastes in photography, clothing, and even guilty pleasure TV. (She mentioned chandelier earrings, and I immediately thought of Lily's wedding earrings on Gossip Girl. Vanessa then told me that was her inspiration! LOVE IT!) So when Vanessa told me she'd purchased an antique couch just for their photo shoot, I was even more excited. She also brought along her vintage bird cage (part of her wedding theme), I found an old trunk that belonged to my mom, we added in some velvety pillows, picnic gear, and a few old books, and we had the makings of a truly fabulous e-session! We set everything up on Jimmy's parents' property. It was absolutely perfect, tranquil, and picturesque. (We had a few close calls with insects and biting creatures, but prevailed!) Here are a few images from our afternoon of fun, but there's much more to come! I just had to post some because I'm too excited not to! Thank you so much, Vanessa and Jimmy, for a spectacular and inspiring afternoon. I can't wait to shoot your wedding next May!!
