Portraits // Lisa Gilmore Design

Portraits are my favorite! Especially when I get to work with fun and talented individuals. Sessions are so much better when I work with people like this young lady here...Meet Lisa. She is the fabulous owner of the amazing interior design company Lisa Gilmore Design!

Portrait Shoot :: Marissa

I am so privileged to be able to work with such amazing people! Marissa and I went to school together years ago and hadn't seen or talked to each other in probably 8 or 9 years, but it felt like two old friends catching up after just a few months of not seeing each other. Crazy right? loL

Portraits in Practice

The other week I had the pleasure of working with a dear friend of mine, Lachelle James, who is leaving for New York City in a few days for an amazing internship with a top fashion designer! I wanted to hang out with her and have her style a "just for fun" photo shoot before she left. We had a lot of fun and enjoyed catching up before she departs! I wish her the best during her internship, I can't wait to visit!!! :-D

BRAND NEW PROMO VIDEO!

I am so freakin' excited to show this off! The amazing Javier Fick was my videographer and a joy to work with! I've been a fan of his work ever since I'd met him, well over a year ago now, so it was a dream to finally get together to shoot this video with him!

The Trunk :: A Promo Shoot

The Trunk Boutique is one of my favorite locally owned boutique stores here in Florida, so I was thrilled to do a promo shoot for them! These photos were taken quite a few months ago (shame on me for waiting so long to post). I think it is so important to promote local businesses - I mean, I'm a small local business so it is important for me to support others just as they support me. I'm so happy to have gained such a good relationship with the amazing talent behind The Trunk!

Preview :: 2013 Senior Model

These girls are so much fun, I had a blast working with all of them! The craziness of hair and makeup while putting together outfits reminded me of the madness I used to go through (and still do on occasion) for different big events in school! We all had fun talking, laughing, and getting to know each other. We had the lovely April Barron as our hair stylist and makeup extraordinaire, Miss Hershley Oge! I can't wait to do it again! Here is a sneak peek of our fabulous photo shoot the other week. A new surprise is coming soon and I'm so excited to share ;-)

Preview :: Cozette

This girl is stunning, I mean her fro is pretty amazing right!? I'm a just a bit jealous of it loL. I can't wait to share more photos! But until then, here are a few sneak peeks...

DESTINATION MEXICO!

So it was super cool because I visited Cozumel, Mexico for the first time this past November with family. I only had a few hours to tour the island and there were a few "must-go-to" places I had to visit according to a few friends, one being the Tequila Factory ;-) haha! I didn't really have any expectations as to what the city would look like, but I knew I didn't want to spend too much time at the beach because 1) I'm used to being at the beach I do live in FLORIDA! So beaches aren't that big of a deal to me and 2) because I HATE tourist traps! (Again, I live in Florida so I'm very aware of the beach being a huge pulling area for tourists.) I always want to see the "real" city whenever I visit a new area.

We had a great tour guide just take us all around town to the "must see" ancient Mayan temples, tequila factory and of course just riding around the city so we could see what it really looked like. Pictures speak for themselves so I'll stop writing now and just show you some of the photos I got while I was down there :)

Okay okay, but first this photo is my absolute favorite! This is my mom (elementary school teacher holding up her school sticker) surrounded by darling school kids who were marching in the street. I believe they were practicing for a future parade so I asked the teacher if I  could take a group photo of them. They were oh too happy to pose for the camera! Aren't they adorable?! This pic puts a huge smile on my face :)

Haha! Us at the Cava Antigua Tequila factory with our awesome...ahem, tipsy, tequila expert!
