{Craig + Nicholle}

Yippee! I am super excited to post this engagement session. Nicholle was my amazing mentor when I was a teacher last year and we instantly became great friends.  Nicholle met this very handsome hockey player, he kept asking her out, finally she agreed and the rest is history. I CANNOT wait until their wedding. Although I only know Craig a little, I know how happy he makes Nic, I see it all over her face every time I see her. They made my job super easy since they are both… ummm… gorgeous!!! I also must add, I am super excited because on my recommendation Nic decided to hire the amazingly talented husband and wife team, Zach and Jody, of Gray Photography. I can’t wait to meet them and I know they are going to do a rockin’ awesome job shooting Nic and Craig’s wedding. Oh and by the way… we took all of these in Miami, some in the Design District and some on North Miami Beach.

So I decided I am going to do another little giveaway. This time I’ve decided to give away one of my favorite things and I’ve upped the ante a little to a $10 iTunes giftcard! Woot woot!

Here’s the deal. Leave a comment and tell me which image of Craig and Nicholle is your favorite and why. It’s that simple. You have until Friday @ 12am EST.

#1 – I love this one… they used it for the front of their “Save the Dates” I made.

#2 – The Design District in Miami had some awesome backgrounds. This background was my fav!

#3 – I love their happiness in this picture.

#4 – Umm… Nicholle, you are INSANELY gorgeous!

#5 – Oh and I forgot to mention, Craig is not just any hockey player, he is the STARTING goalie for the Colorado Avalanche!

#6 – Nic loves this one! Now you can see what I mean about how happy she looks.

#7 – This is why I live in Florida!

And these are just an added bonus.

They are going to have some seriously cute kids someday. Oh and P.S. Look at Craig’s smile… he is no typical hockey player!

So get to voting, maybe you will win an iTunes giftcard, like Theo won a Starbucks one!

Okay, I haaaavvvveeee to post this one too. More of Baby Alyssa on Friday!

Happy Tuesday!

{Storyboards}

Something new I have been working on are Storyboards. Storyboards are the perfect way to display multiple images with a digital mat. I made this one with some images that I love from Travis and Andrea’s engagement session. In case you missed it, check out the rest of their session here. Contact me for more details on Storyboards and booking your own fabulous portrait session.

I am totally loving this Black and White display. Woohoo!

{Travis and Andrea are Engaged}

Yesterday I had the absolute pleasure of photographing Travis and Andrea. Travis has literally been a friend since I was in 3rd grade and he was in 2nd with my sister. He and Andrea have been dating for 4 years and they couldn’t be more adorable together. I met Andrea at Bible camp years ago and always thought she was one of the sweetest people. How perfect for two amazing people to find one another. I’m loving all of these shots… narrowing it down was way to hard, so there will be a second post! All of these shots were taken in Ybor City which was the perfect location.

Andrea’s ring is a family heirloom. Wowie!

I joked that Andrea must be marrying Travis for those beautiful blue eyes!

I loved the different backgrounds all around Ybor!

You can just tell how in love they are!

They couldn’t be any cuter together.

Then we went up to the roof of our parking garage near the Spaghetti Warehouse (yummy)!

The light was FANTASTIC.

Oh La La!

Love it!

Travis didn’t think this pose would really win him man points. I bet Andrea will like it!

Andrea, you are STUNNING! Thanks for working it the whole session.

Perfect shot to end the night.

I can’t wait for their wedding in May! I am so excited for both of them to start their new life together.

More pictures will be coming… I just can’t narrow it down.

{Ohh La La}

The other day I received this beauty in the mail and couldn’t have been more excited! These are the newest product I am offering for portrait sessions. Why a bunch of individual prints? When you can have them in a beautifully bound album. Love it! Everyone should want one of these beautiful Finao albums.

Lori, great job on the cover choice! {There are many different options, but I love this one}

This is not only a great way to show off your pictures, but come on now, it would be such an awesome present.

Think about Grandma opening one of these on Christmas morning – I’m just saying!

{Old School Lydia Shannon: Edition 1}

Since moving to this new blog, back in March, I lost all of the material I had set up on my old Typepad account.  So yesterday, I took a walk down memory lane and made some collages to showcase some former clients who deserve to be on my blog!  Today I am featuring the engagement images of Greg and Amanda.  When I booked Amanda {as my first bride EVER}, I had no idea that by the time her wedding came we would be best friends {my husband even ended up being an usher}.  These engagement images were the first time I saw myself as a real photographer!

These pictures were taken at the beautiful Tree Tops Park – 3900 S.W. 100th Ave., Davie 33328

Stay tuned for my OLD SCHOOL edition Lydia Shannon, including Greg and Amanda’s wedding!
