Orlando Wedding-Newborn Photographer | Classic Family Photography bio picture
  • Welcome to my blog!

Charlie!

Some things never get old. This YouTube video is one of those things for me. Maybe that makes me a nerd, but I’m okay with that. I had a stressful afternoon, and I turned to my faithful friend, Mr. YouTube, to lift me up and give me a few laughs. I thought I would share this with all of you just in case you needed a laugh, too. (Notice the smile on Charlie’s face as he inflicts pain on his brother.)
Hope you all have a great weekend! I’ll be photographing a family session and a wedding, so I’m in for a busy one :)
P.S. I heart Charlie

Melisa’s Belly Session!

I had to blog this session right away because it was so much fun! Pregnancy sessions are always a blast, and this was no exception. Melisa is an absolutely beautiful mom-to-be.  I met her for the first time earlier this week to talk about her photos. When she asked me if it was okay if we did part of the session at a pumpkin patch, I knew our photography relationship was meant to be :) Melisa loves fall, and baby Chloe is due to arrive shortly after Thanksgiving, so it was perfect!
I never know what to expect with pregnant moms. I always ask to make sure they’re comfortable with having their photos posted on the blog and website. Melisa laughed when I asked her, and told me she had just dressed as a Hooter’s Girl for a friend’s Halloween party, so she wasn’t too self-conscious about showing off her pregnant bod. (And she shouldn’t be. She looks amazing!)
We stole Derrick away from his football game for a little while to get dad in on some of the photo action, too. Melisa and Derrick, thanks so much for letting me photograph you guys. I cannot wait to meet Chloe and help you document her new little life :)
I love this one :)


One of my favorites!!!


Another favorite. I keep saying that about all of them :)

So Derrick and Melisa are big time Georgia fans. Dad already has some Georgia props ready for Chloe’s photo sessions. I hope Chloe likes football….


This is Melisa and Derrick’s dock where Derrick proposed to her, so we had to do some photos here. These next 2 pictures were all Derrick’s idea. I love an involved dad!


Another favorite! Melisa is just absolutely stunning here!

Happy Birthday Hubby

So Friday was Mike’s 28th birthday! He is a few years older than I am, so I have been mercilessly teasing him about being old and reminding him that 30 will be here before he knows it :) Isn’t that what wives are for? I just thought I would post a few pictures from his birthday dinner at his favorite place, The Cheesecake Factory!
Me & My Sister-in-law, Caimbrin

The Girls! me, Mandy & Caimbrin

YUM

With the Birthday Boy

Brian (Mike’s brother) & Caimbrin

I was so glad Herbert and Mandy could come! Herbert and Mike have been friends for a long, long time (since the 1st grade, I think) and we always love to have a chance to see them :)

Happy Birthday, Mike! Can’t wait for the big 3-0. (he he)

Heidi Mitchell - I am in love with their choc chip cookie dough cheesecake. it’s a heavenly experience!October 27, 2008 – 6:25 pm

Melisa - That’s My favorite place!! It’s where everyone took me this year for my birthday too. I seriously could eat every kind of cheesecake they have there…yum, yum!!October 27, 2008 – 5:42 pm

Kayla – Senior Session

It’s hard for me to believe that Kayla is graduating this year. I’ve known her family for a long time, and I actually used to teach Kayla and her brother piano lessons when I was in high school. She’s a girl who is loads of fun and is always smiling! We did her senior session around downtown Eustis, and we found some great little spots for her photos. Here are a few of my favorites from the day, and also a fun little survey Kayla took!

Name: Kayla
High School: Leesburg High School

Colleges I’m looking at: UCF, Palm Beach Atlantic, LSCC, maybe UF
Favorite Website to browse: MySpace

When I grow up, I wanna be: the owner of a Christian pre-school
Favorite places to spend money: Target, Ross, Pac-Sun, Hollister

The Song I can’t Quit Listening to right now: Better in Time by Leona Lewis
On a Friday night you can find me: At an LHS football game or at the movies with friends 

Some thing I can’t resist are: cute purses, zebra print, chocolate covered strawberries, going to the movies

Favorite thing about my senior session: Well getting watched by people through the windows was funny, but the whole experience was fun!

Thing I’m most excited about getting/seeing from my session: The blog and an album. Oh and seeing how they all came out!

Heidi Mitchell - thanks, amy! I thought that would be fun :)October 17, 2008 – 9:59 pm

Ben and Amy - The second one is my favorite! She is beautiful! And what a cute idea with the survey…I love it. :)October 17, 2008 – 5:40 pm

Happy Friday!

Happy Friday to you! Just checking in to say hello to everyone and show you a little peak of what I’m working on for Studio Lighting. Last week we had to successfully light glass in the studio. This is what I came up with. 
Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Heidi Mitchell - Hey!

I went to the Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale for my AS in Photography, and now I’m going to UCF for my BS in Photography. There are 2 different photo programs at UCF, and the one I’m in is at the Daytona campus. Most people prefer that program to the one offered at the Main campus in Orlando :)

Rhonda - Where are you going to school at??? I love photography and started doing a little of my own as a hobby. Every one at church says I should pick your brain about it… Thanks Rhonda :)October 13, 2008 – 5:15 pm
