I'm photographing graduations at UCF this week. That means I'll be photographing around 6,000 graduates. Along with the rest of the team from GradImages we will probably take close to 26,000 photographs at UCF during 4 main ceremonies, and at least 1 smaller ceremony for students in 1 major.

Good Luck Class of 2011!

If you happen to be graduating from UCF, make sure to stop by the white tent outside the arena before you go inside to line up for your graduation ceremony.

Brittany and CJ: New Smyrna Beach Engagement Photo Session

UPDATED April 16:  Video Added!




On Saturday I had the opportunity to photograph Brittany and CJ.  They have been married for a few year and are planning a wedding vow renewal ceremony this summer for their 5th anniversary.  For their photo session I planed to photograph in two locations.  The first part of our session was along Flagler Ave. in the heart of New Smyrna Beach.  As we walked down the street I looked for locations with nice light and I gad a change to talk to Brittany and CJ and get to know them a little bit.  For the second part of the photo shoot we traveled up to Smyrna Dunes Park.  Located at the Northern most part of the New Smyrna Beach peninsula on the South side of The Ponce DeLeon Inlet.  This park has a long boardwalk walkway which leads to a section of traffic free beach.  We got there just before sunset and I made the light really work for me.  Here are a few of the shots from Saturday.

A day at the beach: Family Portraits

UPDATED APRIL 12: Slide-show Video Added.




Yesterday I photographed a family portrait session in New Smyrna Beach.  I had originally booked the session for Tuesday, but the weather was not fully cooperating.  However, yesterday the weather was absolutely perfect, with sunny blue skies, a light wind, and a calm ocean.  I met the family at one of my favorite local beach parks, which offers a couple different locations for some different looks.  Here is a quick preview of a few shots from yesterday.
