I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas… I sure did! I was lucky enough to have some time off and was able to spend the week leading up to Christmas in Cape Coral with my family. During this time, I was finally able to test out a location in Alva that my mom has been raving about. Umm… I want to shoot there always! It had the most amazing light, even in the middle of the afternoon. I’ve never had a chance to shoot at sunset in an open field, so this was a real treat! I also had a very special model for this shoot.. my little sister! And, well.. she’s not so little anymore… I told her that I hadn’t tortured her with photos for a long time and she enthusiastically agreed to being my model for the afternoon. I am so glad to have these pictures and the memories of a very fun day. Makeup by Janea of j&a {makeup artistry}.

Oh, Mikala. There aren’t enough words to describe this lovely senior from Ida S. Baker High School in Cape Coral, Florida. She is bubbly, SMART, enthusiastic, and super gorgeous to boot. Can we say- total package?! This is the third time I’ve had the chance to photograph this lovely young lady and it has been an absolute joy getting to know her and her mother. We always laugh so much, and this session, her mom had to drive the getaway car as we broke the rules a little and continued shooting on the property after they told us it costs $$$ to shoot there. Oops! Totally worth it! If Mikala ever gets arrested, it will probably be from my bad influences! Haha! Thank you Mikala, for being so patient with me while I traveled and dealt with mundo computer issues. I hope the rest of your senior year is full of total happiness!

Last weekend, I was in Cape Coral preparing to head to the east coast for Eve and Don’s wedding. On Friday afternoon, I decided I really wanted to try out a location that my mom had been raving about. After searching for a last minute model, I was coming up empty and decided to contact my friend Janea Soliven of JA Makeup Artistry to see if she had any local models she could hook me up with. Instead she insisted I join her and a few other photographers out on a farm for a just for fun shoot! And best of all, one of the models was my class of 2013 senior rep, Mikala! It is always a treat to photograph a model with hair and make up by the uber talented Janea, and I had soo much fun the last time I shot Mikala, that I simply could not turn down the invitation! There was a horse, a baby bull, chickens, and two mega downpours, yet we still managed to get some great pictures and have a ton of fun! These little collaborations really make me miss living in Cape Coral… I need to find an awesome group of artists in Orlando to align myself with! Here are my favorite shots of the beautiful Mikala! 
Umm yeah… Mikala is not only gorgeous, she is also a great actor! She really looks calm and collected in the photos above, but this is how we spent most of our time with Melvin!
