Favorite Photos of 2009 – Newborn Shoot from the summer

This is one of my favorite shots, from one of my favorite sessions of 2009. This shoot was so memorable to me, since the client was an old friend from high school, who I haven’t seen in over 12 years!! It was so awesome to see her and to meet her husband and awesome little boy.

Favorite photos of 2009 – Fox Hollow Woodbury, NY

I have been going through so many photos from 2009, It was such an awesome year. I decided to do a recap of 2009 and start showing off some of my favorite photos. This may be a mix of weddings, portraits, engagements and newborns. This is going to be fun for me to look back on these photos and bring up memories from all!

I remember taking this photo, it was at the Fox Hollow in Woodbury, NY. I am a little biased to the Fox Hollow since it is where my wife and I got married, so it is no wonder that at least one photo would fall into this list.

And the winner is………

So as most of you know, we held a contest this year for the best love story! We had so many responses to this contest with a total of 45 entries! It was so hard to pick the best because in all honesty, they were all very good!

The story we chose comes from Jessica and Mike, a gorgeous couple from Florida. They are having their wedding this fall at the Stetson Mansion located in Deland, FL. Sounds like it is going to be a great wedding at a gorgeous venue!

On with the story -

Mike and Jessica have been together since High School, a total of 14 years! That means they have been legally married for almost 8 years in like…45 states? They are just now deciding to tie the knot. Jessica Labeled her story as true “serendipity” with the theme “True love waits.” And boy did it ever. I love how she included of a photo of themselves from 14 years ago!

Our first date 1996 Homecoming copy

How they met: Firstly, Mike and I met in 1996 at Haines City High School in Haines City Florida. We have been dating off and on ever since. The weird thing is, my mother and Mike’s aunt were great friends in High School, and we found out 5 years into our relationship. In 2000 I went off to College at USF in Tampa. I also cheered for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for 6 years. During my rein, Mike was my number 1 fan in the stands!  During my cheer career, Mike supported my FHM Magazine spread of “The top 10 Sexiest Cheerleaders” and the nominations of “Pro Bowl Cheerleader 2007.” What a great guy huh?

The Propsal: My amazing fiancé, asked me to be his wife thanksgiving 2009. I walked into our home, completely surrounded by 200 candles, rose pedals, dark chocolate kisses, and our songplaying the back ground. I turned around to Mike kneeling, holding the most breathe taking vintage platinum ring. The cutest thing was, he was shaking and teary eyed the entire time, just like when he asked me to Homecoming in 1996.  So precious.

Mike and I would love to have our dream wedding, but our budget is very tight. Neither families can help with the funding, so Mike and I have to do it all ourselves. We could really use some help on our special day….a day that we have waiting for, for almost 14 years. Please help!!!

What did they win?

Jessica and Mike won a full featured wedding photography package valued at $3300 and includes the following:

  • 8 hours of wedding coverage
  • 1 Hour Engagement session
  • DVD of all files
  • Online proofing gallery
  • $500 Album Credit

Congratulations Jessica and Mike! I am so happy that I am going to be a part of this day that you both have been waiting for!! Its going to be a great wedding and I cant wait to photograph it!!
