Port St Lucie Engagement Photographer : LaQuaisha & Javier's Engagement Session

LaQuaisha (aka Quay) and I have been friends since back in our Middle School days.  We met through a mutual friend and even though we don't see each other that often, have remained buddies.  For whatever reason, she seems to think I'm crazy and she's always laughing at me.  Lol.  I've photographed her a few times already, she even volunteered to model for me for a charity photo session.  So I was super excited when her and her future hubby, Jav, asked me to photograph their Engagement Session.  Of course we had a blast and lots of laughing occurred.  Quay is known for her traveling.  She's traveled to about 25 states, plus some islands like Bahamas, Jamaica, Haiti, etc.  So she wanted to incorporate train tracks into their Engagement Session to symbolize her travels.  And Quay and Jav's wedding theme is the start of their journey together.  So here are some of my favorites from our Engagement Session together.  I can't wait to boogie with them on their wedding day.

Jensen Beach Engagement Photographer: Ashley & Matt's Engagement Session

This was a fun Engagement Session with Ashley & Matt.  We went to Indian Riverside Park and went all around different little spots.  I really love the tall grasses.  Although Matt was quieter than Ashley, he always looked his happiest when I had Ashley kiss him.  Lol.  We even did a special section of the session just for Matt to show off his love for the Boston Redsox.  I love when clients bring in their own props, adds for some fun personal touches.  Here are some of my favorites from our Engagement Session together.

Pet Photographer : Dogs & Cats Forever No Kill Shelter 2013

It's a new year, and a new calendar.  This is my third year photographing the charity calendar for Dogs & Cats Forever No Kill Shelter.  Lots of new faces, but some the same.  I've photographed both Miss Jingles (gray in pink) and Gingerbread (Calico in purple) all 3 years.  They are both such sweet and loving cats.  Please come down to the shelter if you need a new friend or love.  I'm going to continue to photograph those two every year that they're there.  I just love them.  This year's photo session was a blast.  Trying to get three puppies on a bench to cooperate, ummm not so easy.  Haha.  But with some Photoshop and lots of patience, we were able to do it.  All of the cats just loved sitting in their basket, and all the dogs loved having their belly rubbed or neck scratched.  What a bunch of love bugs.  So here are my 2013 calendar models.  Enjoy!  And if you still need your 2013 calendar, please stop by the shelter or their thrift shop to pick one up, just $10 each, and all the money goes right back to the shelter.  Please click on their link below for location, hours and other info.  Thanks.

Pet Photographer : Dogs & Cats Forever No Kill Shelter

I love animals, pets, furry friends.  I've grown up with pets as part of my family my whole life.  They are my "children" and mean so much to me.  They are there for you to make you smile, greet you in the morning as you wake up, super excited when you return home, and good couch buddies while you're watching TV.  Since I value animals I often participate in charities involved in helping animals.  One particular charity I like to help out with is Dogs & Cats Forever No Kill Shelter.  I would just randomly go to the shelter to visit the animals and say hi. After meeting some of the workers and volunteers there, it came up that I was a professional photographer.  They would do a calendar every year to help raise money for the shelter.  But the calendar just had quick snap shots, nothing very thought out or professional looking.  So when I found this out, we talked about me doing the photos for their next calendar.  And I did!  I've photographed their 2011 and 2012 calendars, and will continue to keep doing so as long as they'd like me to.  Ha, what a day, photographing over 12 different cats and dogs for the calendars.  Let's just say 1/3 of the time is spent hugging and cuddling the animals, another 1/3 is me, my assistant and the volunteers trying to get them to sit, stay, look at the camera, and the last 1/3 is actually photographing.  Lol.  But it's so much fun.  And the "models" loves the extra attention.  The hardest part is having to leave them when we're all done.  If only I had a huge farm or won tons of money to have my own shelter to take them all.  So here's the images we used for the Dogs & Cats Forever 2011 calendar.  I will post the 2012 calendar images next.  These calendars helped raise a ton more money than their previous calendars, which makes me feel amazing!

We also love to include your pets in your Family Portrait Sessions.  We will come prepared with squeaky toys and treats.  Hee hee.  So thinking about getting new Family Portraits, why not include "Fido" or "Fluffy"?  After all, it is a "family" portrait.  And if you're missing a "special someone" in your life, why not head on over to the Dogs & Cats Forever Shelter to see if you find your new best friend.  They're located right around the border of Port St Lucie and Ft Pierce on Shelvitz Rd.  Please click on link below for more info.
