I'm infatuated with this place:) I saw four possible stories on my way from the beach to the car.. This place is so rich with stories and great light!!

Day 26

I stopped in Gainesville on my drive back to Atlanta to meet up with some of my old professors and some of my PhotoJ friends...

While in the Journalism building with prof Freeman, he showed me the Hearst Photojournalism Contest Alumni photo gallery he hung. I am very proud to say that my photo made the wall, and the competition a few years ago:) Always good to go back to your roots as a reminder of where you came from and how much further you have to go....

Day 25

Slacker

I know I know I've been slacking....

It's been one bridal portrait on top of another wedding on top of engagement shoots for me lately.. O yeah with a few movie gigs and airports thrown in the mix.

So YES.. I can relate to today's What the Duck


It reminds me of my photojournalism 101 days when we use to chase firetrucks that had their sirens wailing with the mere hope of finding spot news.. ;)

Day 21, 22 and 23

Day23

First rainy day in Florida this trip.. it's days like this I really feel for my friends who still deal with daily news assignments.. Weather Feature Anyone?!?

Day 21 Happy Easter

Spent the Day out in Tampa Bay on my brothers sailboat with the fam.. Such a wonderful day:)

Day 20

I spent the day going through old keepsake boxes from my dads house. Nothing like an unexpected trip down memory lane...

I thought I'd share with you a photo of my baby head shots! Yes..it's true..I was a baby model;) look at my first resume... so little!

Day 19

I decided to drive around Sarasota at sunset today to chase some light. From my edit I realize it's a tree kinda day... I forgot how much I was in love with the light in this town. It's so captivatingly beautiful...




And of course I had some of the most beautiful company along for the ride... My Momma:)

Day 16, 17 and 18

Day 18

The main purpose of my trip to Sarasota was to go through the remnants of my dads things that we have been keeping in storage now for 22 months. I still can't believe its been that long. As I was going through some of the photos he use to have hanging on his walls I found this one. It reads - IMAGINATION: The Future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams... Dream Big!


Day 17

Tuesday night I set off to the beach to watch a beautiful Sarasota Sunset. It is truly one of the most amazing things you will ever witness.. The light is just so pure.



Day 16

I spent my first full day in Sarasota close to the water... I took a trip over the glorious Sunshine Skyway Bridge on my way to St. Pete to hang out with friend and amazingly talented photographer Melissa Lyttle. I never realized how much being land-locked could do to a person...It's so refreshing to be here!

Day 14 and 15

Day 15

I stopped in Gaiensville today for an engagement shoot on my journey down south. It made my heart happy when the couple showed up wearing Orange and Blue! The sun was going in an out so I had to keep my lights on hand.

Meet Dan Trifiletti and Nancy Rosselle, soon to be married! Dan Proposed at the duck pond, the same place they had their first date.



Day 14

I set out from Atlanta to head south for a week of work and play. Sarasota was the final destination, but of course I had to make my stops in Valdosta and Gaiensville along the way.

Thanks to the start of Spring Break (If I saw one more car with "Florida or Bust" written on the back window..) and a wreck on the interstate, a 3 hour drive from Atlanta to Valdosta took me 6.5 hours.. I was going insane.. At least the long drive ended with a beautiful sunset;)



The open road and Florida light was such a delight once I found it...

Day 12 and 13

Day 13

On Friday night I had the joy of photographing two separate shows that were happening simultaneously on opposite ends of the city... Gotta love show hoppin..

Flurish...check out their music here



Trances Arc...check out their music here


Day 12

Thursday evening I met up with my friend Sidney at our favorite East Atlanta Coffee shop to talk art, passion and photography 101. Nothing like trading some photography lessons for a new hair style with an amazing friend and talented hair stylist!
