Flower Girl

This shot was taken by the wonderful Shannon!
I played around with it on photoshop and added a layer of my mom's zinnias.
This windy hot weather has been awesome here in Fl... Go out and enjoy it!

Cami's 25th

My sister Cami turned 25! 
Let me name a few of her favorite things:
-Sunsets on the beach
-Eating sushi and edamame
- Getting dressed up
Sooo, a group of us got together and made that happen with the help of Cork&Copper.
Here are some pictures I took of the night! 

 Sunset over Lido Beach in Sarasota, Florida


I made strawberry cupcakes and we ate off of banana leaves I cut from my backyard. 
(I can't take the credit for that great idea. C&C)
The picture on the right is my sister Cami and her husband, aren't they cute?

Cami in her fun one piece from H&M.

 Sushi Rolls

 The decor was Florida styled with a tablecloth of Florida, seashells, and other old Florida touches.
 The table
 We set up the table in a not so busy corner of the beach.
Quite the atmosphere, right?




The sunset went down fast, so we had lots of candles to set the mood.

 Cupcakes and Daniel & Molly's homemade strawberry ice cream for desert!
The candles are from the cake section in Publix! 


Hope this is an awesome year for Cami!

Test Shoot with Nick Suarez






These are some shots done by the very talented Nick Suarez.
Make up by Briana Danielle.

My Hammock


 I found this awesome hammock at Ross for $11! 
I actually was torn about it in the store. I picked it up and set it down a few times.
I wanted a hammock, but I couldn't think of an actual spot around my house where it would fit...
But I bought it anyways!
 My handyman of a dad didn't hesitate to find a sweet spot to hang the hammock. We had it up and reliable in about 15 minutes!

My parents work really hard on making the backyard look this cool.
My hammock fits right in.

Test Shoot with Sal & Jen


 Started with light make-up and an organized strand of pearls.. 
 
Instantly transformed into an edgy girl with dark make-up and a bit of tugging on the pearls.

This was a test shoot I had with Sal and Jen Brancifort. They are a fun married couple that are both awesome photographers! You can see more of their work here!
