Thank you to everyone for the kind emails and FB messages making sure we were OK, since the blog updates were a bit slow this month. We are more than fine, we are great! Just crazy busy! 🙂
At the beginning of the month, we traveled to Orlando for the Florida Professional Photographers’ annual print competition. The results were super exciting for us! We entered albums for the first time in competition and BOTH of our albums received merits! Then, at the banquet we learned that our albums had placed second and third statewide in their category. Then, we received the Reedy Album Award for first time entry of albums! To say were were shocked is an understatement! Two of my prints also received merits, so it to put it mildly, it was an absolutely amazing competition for us!
I was also recognized at the banquet, receiving the Outstanding Service Award for the work I have been doing with the Tallahassee Professional Photographers’ Guild. Coming back to Tallahassee, Olyn and I had a short amount of time to prepare for the program we were presenting to the Guild on workflow and time management. That presentation was last week and was a great success! We are now scheduled to travel to other guilds to teach more photographers!
Olyn and I are completely overwhelmed with gratitude and emotion to this great group of photographers we have the pleasure of working with, learning from and giving back to. Through their support and guidance, we have both become better photographers. Thank you so much to our clients for their support, their cheerleading and their excitement. Sharing our successes with you is so awesome! And a HUGE thank you to our families who are the people who keep us sane! We are truly two of the luckiest people in the world!

Well, our little guy is growing like a weed! He is crawling everywhere, pulling up and actually trying to walk. I am in shock– he is only 7 months old! I thought I would have a little more baby time than this! I am proud of him, but man, I kinda feel cheated!

I won’t lie… there are some of our wedding clients that I just can’t wait to have babies! Amy and Derek are prime examples– they are such an awesome couple and we have sooo much fun with them, we were ready for them to come back to us right away! Well, their second anniversary is in March, but lil Miss Peanut will be here in October! I honestly think they are going to be amazing parents, but I know without a doubt that this little girl is going to have Derek wrapped around her little finger! It’s going to be so great to watch!

I can’t begin to tell you how much “our families” mean to us. Olyn and I refer to the families who have chosen us to be their photographer year in and year out as “our families”. Baby Katherine’s family is definitely one of those. Years ago, I photographed her parents’ wedding, then her brother’s first year and now hers! They are the kind of family that has such loyalty to us and we know that we will get to celebrate each birthday, each Christmas and every milestone in between with them. We love them dearly and are so thankful to have wonderful clients like them!

Aug 20, 2010 | engagement portraits
Couples don’t come any sweeter or cuter than Alicia and Michael– they are high school sweethearts, who moved to Orlando and they getting married back home in Tallahassee just as they finish school. Awwwww! 🙂 We have JUST under a year until their big day, but with mom’s help they already have so much of the planning taken care of! Olyn and I had so much fun with their engagement portraits in downtown Tallahassee, I can only imagine what a great time we are going to have at their wedding!!
