diamond in the rough * gainesville, florida lifestyle photographer

i love to take a beautiful girl and photograph her in a backdrop of garbage. yes, i said garbage. there is something about the contrast of beauty vs. ugly that just works. then add in all that amazing color and texture and voila! you have some really cool images.

meet calla, a young twenty something kate beckinsale look alike, with drop dead eyes and a sweetheart personality. my camera loved her bec she had allure. a soft confidence. a sparkle.

here are your images miss calla….thank you for trusting me to take you to the dump :)

march madness * gainesville, florida teen photographer

can you believe we are in march already!?!?  this month will be nice and busy on my blog because i have a zillion new images to share.  this past weekend, i met some photographer friends for a workshop out in bell, florida.  we photographed a handful of teens and i learned a ton of new stuff, especially in studio. i NEVER shoot in studio bec i’m a bit intimidated by the whole light setup, wires, backdrop thing.  but with a lil help from my friends, i was able to shoot and actually like it.  here is round one of a series of images, the young and gorgeous miss preslee….
