Family Vacation at Gaylord Palms, Orlando FL

We were recently asked to join one of our favorite family's on a mini vacation to Gaylord Palms Resort in Orlando Fl. Chad and I have had the pleasure of photographing this sweet family as they have grown over the past few years. What a treat it was to spend time together with both of our families getting to know each other a little better! We look forward to many more sessions with the whole family, and dinners with just the adults :) Thank you guys for allowing us to capture these and many more precious moments in time for your amazing family! Printgaylord palms photo 1 gaylord palms photo 2 gaylord palms photo 3 gaylord palms photo 4 gaylord palms photo 5 gaylord palms photo 6 gaylord palms photo 7 gaylord palms photo 8 gaylord palms photo 9 gaylord palms photo 10 gaylord palms photo 11 gaylord palms photo 12 gaylord palms photo 13 gaylord palms photo 14 gaylord palms photo 15 gaylord palms photo 16 gaylord palms photo 17 gaylord palms photo 18 gaylord palms photo 19 gaylord palms photo 20 gaylord palms photo 21 gaylord palms photo 22 tg1gaylord palms photo 23 gaylord palms photo 24 gaylord palms photo 25 gaylord palms photo 26

Paintings on Granite

Years ago I (Chad) was commissioned by Anheuser Busch to paint their evolving logos on granite. I was given five 32"diameter polished granite disks and one 48" disk of solid marble. I took them to a local tombstone manufacturer and had the patterns sandblasted two different depths and then painted the exposed granite with tombstone paint.The five finished paintings were installed into a brick wall, outside, on the new addition to the brewery. They are still there today and will last forever. The one 48" marble disk was installed into the sidewalk as a seal at the entrance of the administration building. A coating to make it non-slippery was applied which turned the color of the paint. That painting was eventually was removed. After the project was finished I was asked to paint one more A.H. Eagle. It was sent to St. Louis and was hung in the Vice Presidents office.

Check them out the next time you're on the north side of Jacksonville.....and take a tour of the brewery! Print

Jodi & Kevin's Intuition Engagement

in·tu·i·tion

/ˌint(y)o͞oˈiSHən/

Noun
  1. The ability to understand something immediately, without the need for conscious reasoning.
  2. A thing that one knows or considers likely from instinctive feeling rather than conscious reasoning.

Jodi and Kevin are two people made for each other! Krissy and I watched these two throughout one afternoon explain to us, without words, their intuitive feelings for each other. From CoRK and Intuition, to Boone Park and the River Walk, we had a great time running all around Riverside finding some fun and creative places to capture this sweet couples engagement session! Can't wait for your wedding guys, see you soon! Krissy & Chad

A Beautiful Pair of Cassidys

Rick & Morgan said I Do on June 1, 2013 in Ponte Vedra at Our Lady Star of the Sea Catholic Church with their doting families & friends looking on. Everyone then headed over to Nocatee's Crosswater Hall for an awesome reception full of great food, fun music, & LOTS of dancing! Congratulations to two beautiful, sweet, smart, and perfect for each other people! We were honored you choose us to be a part of your day! Thank You so much for having us!! Krissy and Chad

Erica and Jimmy's Engagement

We always have fun on engagement sessions, but Erica and Jimmy made it particularly easy as well! After getting to know them better at St. Augustine's A1A Aleworks, they were completely at ease and full of laughs! We let them be themselves on the streets of downtown St. Augustine and at Anastasia State Park. The resulting photos can be considered works of art, but not the crazy German Expressionist Film kind (as Jimmy would say)! :) Thanks so much you guys, we had a blast!!!! Krissy & Chad

Emma + Taylor's Navy Engagement

I think Emma and Taylor were a bit nervous about having their engagement photos taken. But after spending some time with them at one of our favorite restaurants, Pele's, they relaxed and had no problem letting us see how much fun they are and how much they care about each other.We also stopped by NAS JAX to check out the B-3's that Taylor flies, and to shoot a few more photos of course!

Thanks  for the great time you guys and we'll see you at trivia! Krissy and Chad
