Well, if you have been following me for a while, you’ve seen a lot of this girl throughout the past 4 years. Blakeleigh is pretty famous in the “Courtney Dellafiora” world. She is truly one of the most beautiful children I have ever seen and I am so honored to have been documenting her life since she was an itty bitty baby. It’s so much fun watching her grow and comparing each session to the last one. Each time she gets cuter and easier to shoot. She is truly a little princess and I absolutely adore her! Please enjoy a few of my favorites from her shoot the other day and if you want to see more of her past shoots go:

I could not have asked for more perfect weather on the beautiful day that Star and Wes had me shoot their engagement photos – nor could I have asked for a more perfect couple. My clients are all rockstars, plain and simple. Star and Wes are no exception of that. From the moment we started shooting til the time it was over, they let their personalities shine in front of the camera and I luuuurve how the photos turned out. I am so lucky and cannot wait to shoot their wedding this fall!!

Thanks Star and Wes for being ROCKSTARS and reminding me again why I love what I do SO much.

Recently we made a quick trip to Destin, Florida for Mikey’s cousin Sheperd’s wedding reception. Tony and Shep eloped to Hawaii and decided to have a party for their closest friends and family. We all got to stay in a huge white mansion house on the beach. It was so great being there together with everyone and I only wish it hadn’t ended so soon! While we were there Shep put her dress back on and we hit the beach for some photos! I’ve known Sheppie for over 7 years – the words FABULOUS, GORGEOUS and FUN are the short and quick way to describe her. She is by far one of my greatest friends and all around an amazing woman! I only wish we lived closer so we could hang out more! When Tony came into the picture a few years back I knew they were just perfect for each other. He knows how to treat her like a princess and makes her laugh constantly. He takes care of her and EVERYONE around him. Every time we visit he is always cooking for everyone and making sure everyone feels at home. I am so lucky to know these two and so glad to have them both in the family.

Shep and Tony, I am SO happy for you both. Can’t wait to come visit again this summer! Thanks for being amazing in every way. Mikey and I love you both so much!! xoxo

Doesn’t Sheperd remind you of a Barbie? She is so perfect! It’s hard not to hate her for her GORGEOUSNESS. ; )

Well it’s another beautiful day to be alive and I have another beautiful couple to show you! I am so sorry about not blogging anything at all last week but it was LITERALLY the busiest week of my life. I know you probably do not want to hear me go on and on with more excuses so I won’t. : ) All I can say is that I promise to try and make it up to you with lots of pretty stuff to come!!

Megan and Cameron are pretty much DA BOMB all the way around. They may just be the two nicest people on the planet! I love Megan’s carefree attitude on life and ability to laugh at everything… love love it! Cameron is so laid back and up for pretty much anything which scores major points in my book. I heart these two so much! I will let the pictures speak for themselves on just how sweet and loving they are with one another!

Thank you Megan and Cameron for being all around amazing! I can’t wait for the big day!

Happy Tuesday!

Megan must be a girl after my own heart for choosing a location with random, rustic antiques everywhere! Because I was in loooove.

I know, I know. I keep saying full posts coming soon then I give you another teaser. Hey it’s better than nothing right!? We went to the beach this weekend to hang out with family and friends. Michael’s cousin and really great friend of mine, Sheperd, was recently married in Hawaii and then had her reception in Destin where she lives. It was nothing short of fun and memorable. While we were there I took some photos of them in their wedding attire that I will be blogging soon!! For now enjoy this little sneak peak. If you knew Shep, you’d know why I adddoore her, but this photo should be a dead giveaway of one of the many reasons…

You may have read my tweet the other day about it being foggy. I absolutely just love waking up to a foggy morning… call me weird or whatever but I love the mood it puts off. One of these days I am going to do a foggy shoot because I am fascinated with it! While driving that morning I took these pictures with my iPhone through the window. I know this post is SO random, but hey I thought I would throw you something different than the norm and it’s MY blog so I can do that yo! Oh, and I swear more full posts coming soon!

Happy weekend!
