Amanda and Daniel’s Engagement

Daniel worked at camp each summer and loves counseling the teenage boys that pass through his cabin each year. Amanda and her family moved to a town nearby and began spending her summers there as well. They meet. They return to their homes at the end of summer and talk for long hours on the phone from cities 8 hours away. Two years later he travels to visit her, takes her to camp for the day where he has assembled a team of worker bees to help him set the scene where he would ask her to be his wife. This October, they will say their vows and become husband and wife at that beautiful camp in Dahlonega, Georgia.

Their Engagement Session was shot at Governor’s Park on a sunny evening earlier this week. She looked stunning and those little glances that he kept giving her snuck their way into many of the photos. I just love that.

Congratulations Amanda and Daniel! I can’t wait to photograph your wedding this fall!

There are certain places that just make everything easier.

The light falls right. The space feels calm. The family relaxes without even realizing it. 

I have been thinking a lot lately about the locations I keep coming back to, and what it is about them that works. Some are outdoors with gorgeous natural canopy and soft, open light. Some are quieter, more tucked away. Some I discovered by accident and now I wouldn't trade them.

What they all have in common is this: they feel true to the families I photograph here in Tallahassee and the surrounding area. Unhurried. Warm. Real. Give me all the "old Florida" vibes.

Swipe through to see a few of my favorites right now. Do you have a favorite spot around Tallahassee, or somewhere nearby that means something to your family? I would genuinely love to hear it - drop it in the comments or send me a message. I am always looking to grow this list.

Seen here are Goodwood Museum and Gardens, St. Theresa, Summer Camp Beach, Park Avenue Chain of Parks, and Dorothy B. Oven Park.
That’s not a filter. That’s the finish.

Editing isn’t about fixing something that went wrong, it’s the last step in creating the image. The light, the color, the feeling. It all comes together in the edit.

Raw files are a little like unfinished film negatives. They’re where we start, not where we land. What you receive is the image as it was always meant to look.

This is the part of the work I genuinely love. And it shows up in every single image I deliver.
