Private Photographer | Bahamas, sea turtles, mermaid soul sisters and beachbody

April 24-29, 2019

Private Photographer | Bahamas, sea turtles, mermaid soul sisters and beachbody

Mermaid: A sea woman who chooses Imagination over Fear

“O MY M GEE” … as my one daughter says. Where do I begin ?

I just came back from this amazing “workcation” ( is that a word ? Well, it is now. I will be giving Webster a call later to update them 😉 ) This is my second year that I was hired to be a private photographer for a team of amazing women. It doesn’t stop there it was in the BAHAMAS – YES, this is real like (I am sorry for text yelling but I am still like PINCH me) . I got to hug the faces off of 13 totally bad azz chicks that work hard | Play hard, left with amazing friendships, grew friendships that I already had and … came back with a pretty hard core tan hahaha.

So what is this all about ?

You may think you know what Beachbody is all about — “It’s that company that sells exercise programs and supplements, like P90X and 21 Day Fix, and Shakeology, right ?”
Technically, yes — but there’s so much more to it.
Beachbody is home to exercise plans and supplement …and so much more.

I met Alyssa through a mutual friend, Jaclyn. I did her families photos and immediately we kicked it off together. (She is totally my mermaid soul sister.) So I mentioned above that I went last year (2018) to the Bahamas with her & her team of top 20 success holders and it was such a epic time. So When Alyssa invited me back for year 2 I was like EKKKKKK, YES ! So what is a success holder, what is a team…how do you get on board so you can “earn” to travel all over the world ? Click here to ask Alyssa all about it !!

I can not wait to show you so so many photos from this amazing workcation. However, for now I will leave you with my mermaid soul sister swimming with the turtles. Check back soon though because I will be posting more !!

I didn’t give you the gift of life, life gave me the gift of you

Now is the time! Don’t let another year pass that you say … I really should book a mommy & me session for me and the kids. I know those thoughts!! I have been there done that. Just do it and trust me – you will be so HAPPY that you did !

There are 2 options for these mommy and me mini sessions.

Option 1: $595 | 5 fully edited images sent digitally

Option 2: $1085 | 10 fully edited images sent digitally along with a 5×5 Signature album

About Signature Albums :

Albums are a great way to display magical memories from your sessions. Let’s be honest…How many times have you booked a session, had amazing photos , downloaded them to your computer and then never printed them. Even if you have a large home, you may not have any more wall space to
wall paper your home in more photos. In addition, not every images is wall worthy, however, they are still part of the story and having them in an album is a great way to reminisce those memories. I custom design each album and make sure to include all or as many images as possible into your keepsake. My albums are 10 page spreads on archival thick photographic paper, lay flat spreads that are built to
last for generations.
You have the choice of linen or leather (I will show you sample colors) or will pick the best color option based off of the colors in the session.
Albums are boxed in a keepsake graphic linen box – that are great for storing. however, albums are meant to keep out to be loved by the family and visitors. My albums have become a new favorite with my clients. They are great gifts to yourself or to a grandparent or other.

Location: Whimsical lush green area, probably longer uncut grasses (around the Wexford area) On a perfect gold hour evening the light will be warm and creates a magical glow. The exact location will be disclosed upon booking ( with in a month of the session )
Please keep in mind I am not responsible for animals, insects or plants. Please spray, lotion and cloth yourselves appropriate.

Date: May 19th

Rain Date : I will work with each client individually on a rebooking of you mommy & me should your session get rained out.

Time: Sessions take place near sunset . Whatever time is chosen please DO NOT be late & be 10 minutes early. If you are late that will cut into your time which can also result in less images if I am not given the amount of time needed.
The slots time out at 20 min. Sometimes I do get everything I need in 10 minutes. These are mini sessions and I will make the call if I feel I got everything I need under 20 minutes.

Styling suggestions provided and are suited to the location

Details: Simple, emotional, whimsical mommy & me sessions (or maternity). I am a story telling photographer. My goal will be to collect details, close up and far away images. These are not meant to be super posed, however, not lifestyle – it’s a magical mix of in-between.

pittsburgh childhood imagination session | The magic is in the book

“You can find magic wherever you look. Sit back and relax, all you need is a book.”

The pre”teen” | tween years… oh man oh man do I remember these years. I was suborn , awkward, I was trying to figure out my place- who I was and what I wanted to be. I was still a child in mind (where I wanted to play with Barbies ) However, I wasn’t looking like the little toddler in my head.

I am not a pre-teen mum YET … However, I am no stranger to it. I have a niece who is now going on 17 ( WHAT ??!!!?? When did that happen ? ) I of course myself went through these years and I will tell you ONE thing. Mum’s are not getting enough of their babies photos at this age.

I was lucky enough to have this little beauty in my studio ( last year (2018)… yes I am behind on blogging) . Do want to hear something funny … Her theme|concept was actually Harry Potter. We had Harry Potter books, color and accessories. It was really fun & cute – However, I asked her if she trusted me to go into another direction out of the dark, magical world she knows best & she trusted me. I had brought “extra” things to the set . Pastel books, a few dresses and some concepts that I sketched out. I brought her out of her “comfort” zone. Dad & Grandma and then mum ( after she saw the soft proofing gallery) were SHOCKED that she agreed and actually LOVED these photos.

I mean … I say it all the time. Sometimes it takes a little faith , trust and pixie dust.

Here are some of the photos from her “light and airy” set.
