I love trying new things. KTP has a very specific aesthetic and caters to the creative, thoughtful, insightful, and community-oriented. But sometimes it's fun to step out of your comfort zone and give something else a try just to clear the creative pipes. What type of content do you create to get the inspiration, creative juices going? 

I am so very thrilled to share the McCook Family's portraits today! Not only were they so CUTE, but so easy to work with! We hustled big time to beat the rain but you'd have no idea it was dreary and icky out! What a sweet time for everyone! It was nice to see folks from my hometown since I don't see very many of them as often due to my move two years ago. The best thing is seeing people you care about when you haven't seen them in a while. Amanda was a majorette in high school (like me!) and helped choreograph some of our routines back in my high school years. Carrigan, their beautiful oldest daughter was in my Internship class way back when she was in 2nd grade! Now the teen years are upon us! YIKES! Camdyn is getting ready to go into 5th grade, and was taught 4th by my aunt who is also a teacher. They are growing up way too fast! YOWZA!! Time slow down! 

Goofy and sweet all in one breath! That's Jimmy and Hannah perfectly! <3 <3 How sweet! 

As with any session I book, there's a little story. (hehe) We trekked over to Davis Island for Anna's bridals, and had plenty of ideas. We picked out our location but once we got there, things didn't turn out quite like we had anticipated. Our select building wasn't a resort or club of any sort, it was just a cute old folks retirement complex. We wanted to remain respectful of the building and kept asking around for the office but all the people there kept telling us there was no office! Plus, it didn't look exactly like some of the images we saw online (we actually couldn't find the exact building we were looking for!). So we moved on. We came upon this lovely apartment complex with the most stunning exterior. We knew we just HAD to have it! As if by divine intervention, things started falling into place. Every backdrop you see was within 10 feet of each other as the front of the building. Then, there was the back of the building with a pool, view of the a yacht club, and the prettiest architecture ever. You wouldn't even know we weren't in Italy! 

I am so excited to share this session! I've known Ashley since high school, and we discovered that Mark and my husband Joshua played football together in middle school, and knew each other after all! We traipsed around St. Augustine, getting a little lost, changing behind sheets in people's front yards (while a tour carriage was going by!", and laughing our heads off! All we could think about was how the driver could have narrated like so: "And on your right, you will see a lady changing behind a sheet!" HA! We had a wonderful time and I'm so happy they trusted me with a film camera in hand, which takes a lot of bravery! It sure did pay off!
