Nakeena + Dwaine, Riverside Jacksonville

We are so happy these two were able to fly in from San Francisco for their engagement session.  If just shooting their engagement photos for a few hours was this fun, I can't imagine how much fun their wedding is going to be!

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

/ˌint(y)o͞oˈiSHən/

Noun
  1. The ability to understand something immediately, without the need for 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
