Living for the 3 Day weekend.

So after many days of no posts, I'm finally back after a great Labor Day Weekend.

I had some of my oldest friends in town and per usual we laughed, danced, drank and even did a little yoga. These are some of the most amazing people I know and I'm glad they decided to spend their holiday weekend with me.

I Fell in Love with Photography.... and Broke up with Running

I've pretty much been a runner my whole life. My parents tell me stories of me as a 2 year-old kicking over my stroller and opting to run in order to keep up with their walking pace. This running continued all the way through high school and college as I geared up for the track team.

I've always loved running and although I haven't raced competitively for years, I've still found time to incorporate a few early morning runs into my schedule.... that was until I found photography.

After I picked up a camera a few months ago, its been so hard to put it down. I recently looked at my camera meter and I've taken over 30,000 pictures... some good, some bad and some I'm just embarrassed I even took. Regardless, photography has become my newest passion and is quickly growing into my own business. 

This new love for photography, however, has nearly killed any free time I have for running. I have gone more than 2 weeks (the most in my life) without going for a single run. As I stare at my neglected Nike Pegasus in the corner of my room, I realize that I need to spend time with my old companion.

So I've done the unthinkable.... I signed up for a HALF-MARATHON!!! That's right, yesterday I registered for the Palm Beach Marathon and have opted to run the 13.1 mile version (26.2 miles was just a little too ambitious for me). I figured by having a goal to reach I would be more committed to find time for running. The marathon isn't until December 7 (which is ironically Bobby Staten's B-day, one of my motivators) but I'm on a 4 month plan to get in prime shape by then.

I'm sure this is going to be one of the hardest things I've ever done but you can never really get over your first love....

I'll keep the updates comin'!!

Curissa + Larondo

I can't thank Curissa and Larondo enough for giving me the chance to shoot their wedding. Even though this is only my second wedding shoot, they fully trusted my judgement and vision for how I wanted to tell their story. 

Luckily, they couldn't have picked a more perfect day to get married. We started at the crack of dawn to capture Curissa as the sun was rising and I have to give it up to the girls for being up and ready at 6 am. Not only did I have the opportunity to get to know this amazing bridal party but we also got some great shots in as well.

The wedding pictures turned out ten times better than I could ever imagine and I can't wait to share these pictures with everyone!
