{America’s Next Top Model Winner + Starbucks}

You may be wondering what an America’s Next Top Model winner and Starbucks have to do with each other… basically nothing. Other than the fact that if you leave me a comment with the image you like best and why, you could win a $5 Starbucks gift card! Woohoo… a coffee for a comment!

This past weekend at Scarlett Lillian’s workshop, I was blessed to be able to photograph America’s Next Top Model WINNER, Whitney Thompson. She was super sweet and totally down to earth… not to mention GORGEOUS! I love that Whitney’s entire message is about women being confident in what they have. I’m watching an interview of her right now and she says one of her biggest tips is to “Look confident. If you think that you are beautiful than everyone else will too.” Make sure you check out Whitney’s new candle and jewelry line, Supermodel.

Now on to the giveaway. Choose one of the images and leave me a comment as to why you love it. I’ll be choosing the winner of the Starbucks card late Sunday night! So get your comments in now.

Although these are together, they are really photographs number #1 {on the left} and #2 {on the right}

Seriously, isn’t she breath-taking?

#3 – This was taken in this gorgeous spot at the One Ocean Resort on Atlantic Beach.

#4 – I was proud that some of the crazy things I was saying/ doing were making her smile. Whitney’s smile is killer!

#5 – Whitney and Wes were total troupers out in the freezing cold.

#6 – It is not hard to tell why she was the WINNER of America’s Next Top Model!

Now it is all up to you. Choose your favorite, tell me why, and hopefully you will be America’s Next Top Scarbucks Card Winner… okay that is a stretch.

I am looking forward to hearing everyone’s favorites! On Monday, I will be announcing the winner and also letting you know which shot was my fav!

{Wedding Portraits – Hippie Style}

Way back in the summer, I posted Kevin and Diane’s wedding pictures from the beautiful Baughman Center on the University of Florida’s campus. If you missed the first blog post, check it out here. Kevin and Diane gave me almost about an hour after their wedding to shoot portraits of the two of them.

Brides, I cannot tell you how happy you will be if you give your photographer time for extra portraits of the two of you. Seriously, you will want those images!

Kevin and Diane have such a cool and unique style and this field right across from the Baughman Center turned out to be just perfect for what I had in mind.

{Old School Lydia Shannon: Edition 3}

     Last December, I shot the beautiful wedding of Sam and Kristin. I went to school with Kristin at Florida Atlantic University. She is so sweet and worked to make everything perfect for her wedding. She was very successful. Sam and Kristin met in high school and have been sweethearts ever since {Insert “awwwww” here}.
     Their reception was held at the wonderful Leisure Center right in downtown Fort Lauderdale. What a wonderful venue!

{Old School Lydia Shannon: Edition 2}

     Do you enjoy grabbing out the family albums and reliving your memories? That is one of my favorite things to do. Ever since I was little I would pull out old pictures and look at them for hours. Since getting rid of my old blog, I lost tons of my older blog post. So let’s go back in time to Greg and Amanda’s wedding. Their florals were all done by De La Flor in Cooper City.

Greg and Amanda had their wedding ceremony and reception at the Signature Grand.

     I couldn’t have asked for a better first wedding.  I mean not only did I get fabulous images from it, but I also got a best friend. I heart you Amanda! 

   I can’t help but say it again, because I am so excited. This beautiful bride/my best friend is now expecting a sweet little baby girl.  More pictures of them with be coming!
