I am now offering Porch Portraits in Orlando Florida that abide by the social distancing rules!

Anyone who has participated in one of my sessions can tell you that I tend to keep my distance when I do family photography. I like to step back and give a family room to feel comfortable while I get the shots I like. Keeping a distance of at least 6 feet will be a piece of cake for me and my big ol’ zoom lens. Don’t forget, you are more then welcome to include the fur babies in the shoot as well. They’re just as much part of the family and it’ll be easier to get them as part of the shot if we are at your home too.

My Porch Portraits in Orlando Florida does not mean every shot is going to be super wide! My big long zoom lens lets me get up close and personal while being very far away from my subjects — perfect for these times where social distancing is so important to the future of our community.

The current economy has hit my business very hard, and in an effort to stay ever so slightly ahead of the curve, I am offering these Porch Portraits to families at a huge discount of my normal pricing!

You don’t have to miss your family spring portraits because of what is going on. We can safely get you some adorable family photos, and as an added bonus – it’ll be a reason to get all gussied up! Just image how much easier it will be to merely walk right outside of your home, spend 10-15 minutes to get some shots, then walk right back in your house. It’s like the uber eats of family photography.

I am still here for counseling on wardrobes and to throw ideas around for props you may have at home to include in our little shoot. It’s a great time to take advantage of everyone’s schedule being clear, so gather up the family and meet me on the porch.

If you’d like to book, just email, call or text and we can get you on my wide open calendar ASAP. All my invoices can be paid electronically and getting the images back will take as little as 24 hours!

A few short weeks ago the word commodity was a designation for copper or water; Now it’s synonymous with toilet paper & hand sanitizer. This shift in focus comes via COVID19, the catalyst for this cultural & economic shift in the world, is like an invisible villain. How does one do battle with an unseeable poison wreaking havoc on every aspect of life?

I’d rather study history than live through it.

The everyday of the situation for most, in reality, is not that terrible. Don’t go anywhere, wash your hands, prepare. The looming future punctuated with a giant hairy question mark has been the ringmaster of torture; Parading my brain through a circus of stress and clown-like terror every time I read anything written in the year 2020. As I focus on the media and my business’s future the dark edges seem to creep in.

Idle hands make fretful minds.

In the face of a situation in which I wield no power, I find myself clamoring to keep my hands busy. Cooking, old crochet projects, my camera and dog are going help me fight the unseen COVID19 monster. The mountain of projects grow as each update pours out of the social media monster to which I seem to be glued. From baking to learning and everything in between the growing list will soon morph into a new monster if not properly managed.

Shifting Focus.

This blog is usually happy families in beautiful resorts but with the imperceptible black magic of COVID19 it’s not anymore. It will be an outlet for me. Recipes I try (and inevitably fail at), empty locations around town frozen in time, projects and everything in between.

To start, I wanted to do a little photo essay on COVID19 and the signs of shift within my own bubble. These little commodities lying around that bring a duality of comfort & discomfort with reality.

And of course Penny. Because she’s the cutest and every super hero needs a sidekick. (She’s the hero, I’m the sidekick.)

It’s always a pleasure to do a Family Photoshoot at Margaritaville Resort Orlando, and this one was no exception. Every Family Photoshoot that I do includes a little how-to guide and visual examples to help them put together what to wear (If you’d like that info just email me). These guys came to the shoot totally prepared – and looking extra formal fresh!

With their tux’s and chuck tailors – they had the perfect mix of fresh and formal. The tropical setting and bright airy colors really contrasted perfectly with their look – making for a great family photoshoot!

While I edited these images from the photoshoot at Margaritaville Resort Orlando I had a big smile on my face the whole time. All the great moments between two brothers and their dad just melted my heart. Additionally, you really can’t beat the Margaritaville Resort location for family photography! The big windows provide tons of sunlight in the beautiful lobby and the brightly colored walls of the bungalows are adorable for a Family Photoshoot at Margaritaville Resort Orlando.

We had fun walking through the resort, and I admittedly felt underdressed next to this handsome GQ worthy group. The boys were cuddly and happy to give each other big prolonged hugs that admittedly turned into a sort of happy wrestling match. They told me all about their adventures around town – including Epcot and riding in their convertible mustang rental which they really enjoyed. They even made it all the way to the fireworks show at Epcot, not an easy task for the youngsters but well worth it!

While Jimmy Buffett is known for his casual style, these guys proved that there is no such thing as overdressed – even down at Margaritaville!
