The Millers- New Smyrna Beach, FL Family Portrait Photographer



Last week I met up with the Miller family on the beach in front of their condo in New Smyrna Beach, FL.  The Millers were on vacation from Utah and were only in town for a couple more days.  They love New Smyrna Beach, and really wanted to set up a photo session before they left.  The Millers also wanted photos so they could use them to make a special announcement to their friends and family when they get home.  These are some of my favorite shots from the session.

A Daytona Beach Greek Orthodox Baptism

UPDATED 6/17/2011: Video Slide Show Added.



A week and a half ago I had the opportunity to photograph a Greek Orthodox Baptism in Daytona Beach, FL. It was very interesting seeing all the traditions of the Greek Orthodox Church. I would also like to thank Father Joseph for telling me about each of the traditions and allowing me to photograph the event for the family. Here are some of my favorite images from the ceremony.

A Bridal Portrait Session with Starla

UPDATED May 24, 2011:  Video Slide-Show Added.



Last week I was sent to North Carolina to photograph college graduations for one of the other companies that I work for.  After I was finished with photographing all the graduations I had some time to go visit some friends who live up there.  I have known Starla since we were in college together, both studying Political Science.  Just over a year ago Starla got married and her wedding was the first wedding I photographed.  Well, my photography has come along way in that year.  While I was visiting Starla we set up an impromptu Bridal Portrait Session.  The session included everything from old rusted metal buildings, a dog, a tractor ride, and horses.  Here are some of my favorite images from the session.











These two shots were fun.  Starla's husband Brandon got their tractor to give Starla a ride down to the pasture so we could get some shots with the horses.





This is Starla's horse Rosco.  He was more cooperative then I was expecting and I was able to get some great photos.








Thank-You Starla, Brandon, and Rosco for making this photo shoot work.
Cheers, 
-Pete

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.
