Oh my goodness! It has been a few years since I last saw Brielle and she has absolutely transformed into a breathtaking young lady! She is pursuing her dreams of modeling and I get total Naomi Campbell vibes from her images. I love that I could capture these beginning images for her and I can’t wait to see her take the world by storm!

We spent the down time between Christmas and New Years building our own versions of the Victoria Secret angel wings. It was a fun, creative and very messy process but I was thrilled to start photographing them! Whether its a boudoir, glamour, maternity or even Mommy & Me session, the wings definitely add a touch of drama!
Amanda chose the beige wings for her session and I love how they go so well with her skin tone and hair! Its so much fun to get all dolled up and play in the studio and I am really glad Amanda could be part of the fun!

Breast cancer sucks. We have made it cute with pink ribbons and slogans about tatas, but at the end of the day there is nothing cute or pretty about breast cancer. Its chemo making your hair fall out, radiation burns on your skin, surgeries that alter your appearance and a feeling that your body has betrayed you. We tend to think of the physical impacts of cancer and often overlook the emotional ones, but for cancer survivors, the emotional impacts of their fight tend to affect them years after they have “won” the fight against cancer.
Victoria is not the typical person you imagine getting breast cancer. With a diagnosis in her early thirties, she was the vision of health and youthful spirit. With a double mastectomy, then reconstructive surgery her body was forever altered and her vision of herself along with it. Part of the journey to being whole again means learning to love that new body and that is where I came in.
Victoria contacted me to photograph her victory against cancer, but I knew I could make it more. I always strive to make my boudoir and glamour clients see the beauty they have within them that the rest of the world clearly sees, but the meaning of this session really upped the ante. I knew God put me in Victoria’s life to help heal her heart and accept the beauty she naturally exudes. We had so much fun in the session and we played around with a lot of different ideas showing her as a fighter and showing that cancer has absolutely not beaten her body or her spirit.
When Victoria saw her images for the first time it was honestly one of the most rewarding moments of my photography career. She sat on the couch at the studio and shed some tears, finally exclaiming that she was in love with absolutely every single image. I have to be honest, no woman can look at 35 images of herself and LOVE every one of them– we all nit pick and let our insecurities push us down so that we MIGHT be able to love a few. Not Victoria. She finally got to see that cancer may have altered her body, but she is stronger for it and definitely beautiful- inside and out.
I fought back the tears during the order session with Victoria and at the very end asked if I could share a few of her images with the world. Without missing a beat, she declared that I could share ALL of them because she is proud of them and the world should hear her story. I hope these images not only help heal Victoria but also inspire other women who are cancer survivors or who just struggle with their self image to see what mighty, beautiful and glorious creatures they really are. Thank you Victoria for letting me be a part of your journey and healing, it has been a creative experience that I will treasure always.

I think Tallahassee probably heard me screaming in excitement all the way from Atlanta! I entered images into the regional competition of the Southeastern Professional Photographers Association (SEPPA) and I earned some of my highest print competition scores ever! On top of that, the SEPPA competition is known to have some of the toughest judges around, so it makes the scores even sweeter!
Photographic print competition is one of the toughest, most humbling, most infuriating and best things I have ever done as a photographer. These competitions hold photographers to the absolute highest standards imaginable and they push you to be the best you can be behind the camera, in Photoshop and in your overall creativity. I have learned more from print competition than any other source in my photographic career.
At the SEPPA competition, I had two of my four images merit which is a huge success in itself! Most people that entered SEPPA did not fare so well. My entry “Entangled” scored an 83, which is a pretty high score for the tough SEPPA judges. Then, my image “Unwrapped” was judged and received a 94. I was in shock. This is the highest print score I have ever received and it came from such a hard panel of judges. It took two solid days before I could believe it was real!
I received the second highest score in Florida, and the eighth highest of all the entries from all thirteen states that are a part of SEPPA. I was only four points from the top score awarded at SEPPA this year of a 98. “Overjoyed” does not even begin to describe my happiness!
These achievements were not mine alone, though. These images are a result of the amazing people who have been my photographic mentors and peers. I am so lucky to have the guidance of some of the finest people in this industry. If you are a photographer or you want to be a photographer, then I strongly encourage you to join groups who can give you this guidance. For me, this was the Professional Photographers of America, the Florida Professional Photographers and the Tallahassee Professional Photographers Guild. Through these groups, I was able to learn and grow as a photographer and I was also able to connect with photographers who inspire me, challenge me and bring out the best in me. To them, I will be forever grateful and because of them, I will always be committed to giving back to the photographic community and paying forward what has been so graciously given to me.
