Being engaged is such a fun time in life. It’s a small chapter where couples get to celebrate together as a couple and with their friends and family that they’ll soon be taking the next step to marriage. Engagement photo sessions are such a great way to come together and celebrate this time in life. Most of my couples tell me after the session that now it just feels “official”. I like to use the engagement session times to get to know my couples…especially if they’re nervous! Pretty well before EVERY session, they each say “We are the most awkward couple you’ll ever meet, and we’re super uncomfortable to do this”. To which I say, “Don’t you worry. I got this!” I like to throw on some music and just have fun letting you two be you. If I’m good at anything, it’s making people feel comfortable. It’s what i love to do! And then it shows in our photos. It also lowers their anxiety for the photography part on their wedding day because they can relax into knowing it’s fun.
Engagement Photo Sessions are also a really great way to create images for signature guestbooks or save the dates.
To plan engagement sessions, I’ll help you every step of the way from what to wear to location. I love shooting engagement sessions at the beach, parks around town if you want a more woodsy feel. Even our downtown/ riverside area has some really unique areas to photograph these sessions. So I’ll ask some questions, and we’ll get to planning.
I can’t wait to start brainstorming ideas with you and help you celebrate this really fun chapter of life.
Some of my favorite locations for engagement sessions:
Jacksonville beach pier, Hanna Park beach, Guana state park beach
Ribault Club
Big talbot island, driftwood beach
Washington Oaks state park
Downtown Jacksonville
Riverside Park
St. Augustine

Hello,
You actually shot for one of my bridesmaids when she got married a little over a year ago and she just raved about you. My wedding is in February and I wanted to give my future husband a book of boudoir photos as a gift. I was first wondering how long it would take after the shooting of the photos to have the book ready? I was also wondering where the photos would be taken? Do you have a studio or would I have to find a place? I was also wondering if you were the one that does the hair and makeup? I see that the boudoir package comes with a 20 page book. Is it possible for me to order more individual prints of photos if I choose? My last question(s) is approximately how long does a boudoir session last and is it possible for me to bring someone along with me? For instance my mom or a good friend. I look forward to hearing back from you and if there is any more info about boudoir sessions you think could be helpful to me please share. Thank you in advance.
