“We are all a little weird and life’s a little weird, and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love.” – Dr. Seuss

yes, i skipped three blog posts that i promised were on the way. i’m a blogging failure, but i already knew that, so i can’t really be disappointed in myself. whoops. those posts are still coming, i promise! but, for now…if you don’t recognize this girl, you clearly don’t read my blog. jessica is one of my very best friends, and she just moved very far away from me to be with this guy. don’t get me wrong, i like him a lot, but he took her away! it’s pretty obvious why, though – they’re just so perfect together. just after valentine’s day, and a few weeks before she moved, i had the opportunity to take some pictures of them at the polynesian resort. they were so easy to photograph together, and i think that’s obvious in the pictures.

she says her favorite thing about these pictures is that he’s actually smiling in them – his real smile, not what we like to call his “murder face” smile. you know, the fake smile people get with the crazy eyes? no? maybe it’s just us.



i’m also happy to report that not only will jessica be back to visit me in exactly two weeks from today, but i will also be taking some senior pictures for one of her gorgeous little sisters. don’t you love pretty families?

STILL coming up next on the blog, canadian twins, an engagement, and another one of my pretty friends with her silly boyfriend.

preview: coming up on the blog…

i have a few posts to make for the blog, and so many photos to sort through for them (and another shoot which will only complicate matter further tomorrow, oops!), but i wanted to post a little preview of what’s coming up.

first off, this is melissa (on the right), and her lovely twin jen. melissa is a great friend of mine, and when jen came to visit, i took some photos for them around the world showcase.

on the same day, i shot some engagement photos for jen and her brand new fiance, pete, who proposed the night before! they were so much fun to shoot.

i also got to take some photos for my friends justine & dan, just because they love each other and it was valentine’s day – the shoot was actually justine’s gift to dan, and i’m so glad she thought of it! we had a blast around the epcot resorts.

so, that’s three blog posts that are on the way, and i’m sure i’ll have another on in the works soon for that shoot tomorrow, which i’m excited to say is at the polynesian resort, where i’ve wanted to shoot forever.

karina (and tyler) {walt disney world portrait photographer}

this is my gorgeous friend karina:

we spent a few days recently taking some awesome pictures, in epcot and at the wilderness lodge. karina is a photographer, too, but she’s so photogenic that i keep forcing her out from behind the camera.



our friend, tyler, another photographer (of course), had to jump in too…literally.


not only were these two super fun to shoot, but i get to work with them on a daily basis, and it makes my life better in so many ways. also, i learned that the wilderness lodge might be my new favorite place to take pictures.

coming up next on the blog, canadian twins and a canadian engagement!
