Welcome to the Blog!

Ever since having my own baby in 2020, I’ve especially loved being an Ocala newborn photographer. Having been there before, I know what it’s like to be in that sweet newborn phase, having just brought baby home. I know how grateful I am to have those photos because I didn’t know at the time how […]

If you ask me what my favorite place to take photos in Ocala is, the Appleton Museum is high on my list! The museum is only about 10 minutes east of Downtown Ocala, and I think it’s one of the most beautiful structures in the city.  The large marble columns and staircase make for a […]

There are so many things to do in Ocala, Florida- a city with a small town feel located in North Central Florida between Orlando and Gainesville. Ocala is the Horse Capital of the World, and it’s also known for its grand mossy oak trees, golden sunsets, beautiful nature, and a great place for families. With […]

Abby and Mike had the FIRST WEDDING EVER at the brand new World Equestrian Center in Ocala, Florida, this past weekend, and oh my was it one for the books!  The (giant) property is so pristine, and everywhere you look is super picturesque (quite a photographer’s dream)! WEC has a little white chapel with outdoor […]

Jordan and John’s Lake Weir engagement session brought one of the most beautiful lake sunsets I have seen. We had their session scheduled and the day of was super cloudy. Jordan (and I) really wanted a pretty sunset so we rescheduled and are so glad we did! My favorite part about their session was that they brought […]

Going to Target together is one of Rachel Laxton’s and my favorite things to do! Rachel is another local wedding & portrait photographer (Rachel Laxton Photography). We are each other’s closest competition and yet somehow best friends. We believe in The Rising Tide Society‘s value of #CommunityOverCompetition and that a rising tide lifts all boats. […]

If you are considering the idea of a destination wedding, please look into St. Augustine, Florida! John & Joni live in Washington, D.C. but wanted to have a Florida wedding. St. Augustine’s historic, colorful streets make for so many perfect backdrops. Besides that, it really is such a romantic place. I always get excited when I […]

When Anna and I were talking about possible locations for their engagement session, she told me she envisioned a park with lots of trees, and a place to be able to include a car into the photos. Her fiance, Eric, works with cars and that has become a big part of their relationship. I think […]

Having the opportunity to visit Ocala’s newest country club, Adena Golf and Country Club, is always a highlight for me. Pair that with getting to shoot an engagement session and you have one happy Brittany! I met Erika earlier this year at the Downtown Ocala Bridal Expo that was held at the Ocala Ballroom. Although […]

I was so excited when Lyndsey wanted to take updated family photos at Adena Golf & Country Club in Ocala, Florida on Mother’s Day weekend. I have taken photos of her family before and love getting to watch her little boys grow! For this lifestyle session, we went out early in the morning on a […]
