Jessica - Model Portfolio - Central Florida

Jessica recently joined us at a local park for some model portfolio shots. The weather has been pretty bad recently with a ton of rain, but the rain held off for her session and we were able to get it in. Ideally we would do this type of session with plenty of sun, but since we cant control the weather, we have to go with what we are given. She did an awesome job despite the elements and we were able to get some awesome shots.

Tara's Model Session: Firefighter - Athens Area Georgia

We were recently on vacation for July 4th in the Athens area of Georgia. Since it was a different area than we typically shoot here in Florida, we decided that it would be fun to do a shoot with a model while we were up there. We scoured facebook and a couple of model networking sites and found Tara, who was more than willing to help us out.

Since we have a lot of outdoor locations in Florida to shoot at, we wanted to do something a bit different. Our brother in law happens to be a firefighter and offered up the use of the volunteer station while he was there one day. We proposed the idea to Tara and she was all for it. How often do you get the opportunity to do pictures at a fire station and have access to all the equipment and gear that is there. It was an awesome shoot and Tara rocked it. Here are some of the images.

Special thanks to Tara for participating.

Jessica and Nathan - Home Depot Wedding Portraits

So are you ready to see some pictures from the craziest wedding we have photographed? Jessica and Nathan got married over the weekend at Riverside Presbyterian Church in Cocoa Beach. Everything was shaping up to be a "normal" wedding. We were planning on doing the portraits in the church following the wedding, like we do for most weddings. We were then going to head across the street to the beach and do some beach portraits of the bridal party. That's when things changed... dramatically..

When you get married in Florida, you have to be prepared for rain, particularly in the summer. I had mentioned in a phone conversation with Jessica a week or so prior to the wedding, not to freak out if it started raining. We could still do some pretty cool stuff and offer some unique portraits. Well a couple of days later, I get an email from Jessica. She asked my opinion on going to Home Depot for the portraits with the bridal party. Did I mention that they are crazy? (Well we like crazy) :)

I mentioned to her that it would offer plenty of unique opportunities for portraits and that I couldnt find anywhere on the internet another image of a wedding couple doing their portraits at Home Depot (someone got married there, but from what I can tell, no one has elected to go there for their portraits). So the idea was planted and they decided (I'm told it was more Jessica than Nate) to do their portraits at the Home Depot on Merritt Island.

I am pretty certain that its the most original set of portraits we have done for a wedding. The looks on the faces of customers as they watched a bride walk around the store was priceless. Home Depot even announced their names over the PA system and you could hear whistles and clapping throughout the store. Its awesome when clients put their complete trust in us to create something awesome for their wedding day. So now that we've shot at Home Depot for a wedding, I cant imagine what could be the next cool location.

See the images from the day after the jump.

Model Portfolio Session - Haleigh - Central Florida

We have a few models that we regularly do portfolio work for. Haleigh is one of those models . For this particular session, we decided to just meet up at the studio and start shooting. Nothing was really planned and we just went with what ideas we came up with. This is the end result. Who said lace can create some awesome pictures? Haleigh once again rocked it and we cant wait to work on our next project with her.

If you are a model and looking to build your portfolio, we offer Model Portfolio packages. Contact us for more information. Our studio is located in Central Florida (Lecanto) and we are one of the premier photography studios in Citrus County.

Concept Engagement Session: One Man's Trash is another's treasure - Demi and Brandon

How many times can you say that you have seen an engagement session (or portraits for that matter) involving trash bags, dumpsters and other "unsightly" things? Chances are you haven't seen anything like it.. And that is how we like it. We want to do things the push the limits of what is accepted as the norm. With so many photographers these days all doing the same things, we want to stand out. We want to provide you with an experience and a fun session. It certainly not for everyone and that is the point. We want clients that are into our ideas and that will trust us to provide them some awesome images, even if it involves dumpsters :)

We are wanting to do more storytelling with our sessions, especially the engagement sessions. So for this session, I wanted to do something along the lines of the saying "One man's trash is another's treasure". The idea is that she has had boyfriends in the past that have not wanted her and have set her aside (the "trash"). Then along comes her now fiance to find his treasure that someone else didnt want. So I figured, lets take it a step further and actually do the session by dumpsters and with trash bags as the outfit. They were game for it and had a blast with the session. This is what resulted.

I think its pretty evident that Demi can rock a trash bag dress

And of course we got a few for the parents/grandparents :)

Thanks guys for an awesome session. It was a blast being able to photograph this concept for you.

If you are interested in a custom Engagement Session such as this, let us know and we would love to plan something with you. We are located in Central Florida, but available for travel.
