Let’s Play Catch Up

Friday, May 29th, 2009

Sorry that it has been awhile since the last update. I wish that I could say that it was from procrastination, but unfortunately this was the reason:

Sorry about the quality, these are from Beau’s cell phone. In my shock I didn’t even think to pull out my camera.

Upon traveling back from my brother’s beautiful destination wedding in Santa Rosa Beach, we had a car accident. It had been raining pretty hard on the way back home (a long haul-6 hour drive). Around 4:30 in the afternoon, the time of the accident, it was just sprinkling. While traveling over a bridge, that was moreĀ  concrete than asphalt, the car hydroplaned and we hit the guard rail 3 times in the process of doing a 360 in the middle of I-10, before coming to a stop in the emergency lane. It was so surreal. I still can’t believe that we survived. I remember seeing headlights coming at us and thinking any minute now a car is going to hit us, but on top of that thinking we are going to be OK. I could list all the “fortunates” …we were fortunate it was a Sunday so there wasn’t a lot of traffic, we were fortunate for the guardrails that stopped us from plummeting into the trees, we were fortunate that there were no cars traveling too close behind or in front of us, we were fortunate that we didn’t hit anyone else, we were fortunate that our car held up to the impact, this list could go on for days and believe me it has in my head. But we were most fortunate that we were all able to exit the car unharmed. That is the short of it. The long of it, that the accident has consumed all of my extra energy and in turn I have neglected some parts of my life…blogging. But I am back and I have a lot to blog about. And here is a sneak peak of what’s to come:

College Senior Pictures || Kristina

Thursday, May 7th, 2009

This was our first college senior session…but how much fun. Kristina is a classic example of someone who thinks that they are not photogenic, but the moment they get in front of the camera it seems as though they have been modeling for years. Beautiful, smart and courageous, she is going to be an elementary teacher. Since Kristina went only to and from the Education Building, she never really saw the rest of the campus. So we had a good time exploring the “unknown” of UCF with her while photographing our new model :) .

Enjoy!

She said that the robe reminded her of when she was an angel in a play when she was younger. Here she is reenacting that memory.

Engagement Pictures || Sam and Jen

Monday, May 4th, 2009

Beau and I are so lucky. We have the greatest couples. Case in point. Jen and Sam.

This is our second trip up to Gainesville to shoot at University of Florida. This time was for Jen and Sam. They met in law school, well not actually at school. More or less through a little matchmaking from one of their mutual friends. And I believe a gangster outfit, a sexy gangster outfit at that, had something to do with it. However they met, they are super cute together.

They are getting married in October on a cruise…how fun is that! I am so jealous.

Now you get to be jealous, check out how gorgeous they are:
