I just love these two!  It rained all day during Melinda and Derrick’s wedding I could NOT wait to get them out in the sunshine at Casa Feliz for their day after session.  The last pic is my favorite soooo steamy

So as promised part II of Sarah’s trash the dress.  I want to thank Debra from Atmospheres Floral for the awesome bouquet and
Vedika for bringing sodas and being a bad ass helper!

I have been anxiously waiting for this session for a looooong time and thankfully the weather was beautiful!
These were taken at my friend’s ranch in Saint Cloud on her lovely horse called Prep! Part II coming soon.

My first time at the Disney’s Boardwalk and it was a perfect place for this engagement session.  I am really looking forward to their wedding at Lake Lucerne next March.

More of Jonelle from our session last week I just loved editing these pictures she is so beautiful inside and out!

I was super excited to be a part of Ashlie from Weddings in the City first Bridal Showcase!  You would never tell it was her first because it was flawless!! Met some awesome brides and ate some awesome food   If you are looking for a wedding venue Eagle Creek is really pretty!

I actually met Jonelle 13 years ago and I have many many funny stories about our adventures to the beach but long story short she has never looked better!  All around amazing woman in side and out and I am thankful to call her my friend.
Here are a few teasers from our session many more to come…

I had the pleasure of photographing a super AMAZING event for the Heart Gallery of Orlando this week.  I truly can’t believe how many awesome children there are up for adoption in Orlando???? Wow my heart if full of love for these children and for the awesome people who donated their time to this worthy cause.  Thank you to Misty Miotto for asking me to come and being an all around awesome chick and Kristin Hubbard for playing such awesome music

So first the kids walked the red carpet and then inside for a fun party

Kristin rocking the music out

hahah Misty took this one of me dancing with the kiddos

Had another chance to shoot Matt Hughes for Cage Fitness last week.  He has fought two times (which he won) and gained an awesome new scar since the last time I saw him.

Can you imagine this fist coming at you???

I wonder if he works out?  Hahahahah

Probably my favorite picture of him.  It is straight out of the camera only a B&W conversion.  You can really see the brand new lovely scar on his face.

Check out Cage Fitness all the photos on the site are mine and if you are looking for a new fitness routine this one is AMAZING!

3. STIR in water and Seasoning Mix. Cook and stir 3 minutes or until heated through.

4. SPOON into warm tortillas. Serve with toppings, if desire

Night Four was :: Mini Meatloaf from Evelyn D

1) So you startoff by heating the oven to 450 degrees. In a small bowl, stir 1/2 cup of ketchup and 2 tablespoons of packed brown sugar until mixed; reserve 1/4 cup for topping. Then, in a large bowl mix: 1lb lean ground beef (at least 80%), 1/2 lb ground pork, 1/2 cup of Original Bisquick mix, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, 1/4 cup onion, 1 egg, and remaining ketchup/brown sugar mix until well mixed.

2) Spray a 13×9 inch pan with cooking spray. Place meat mixture in pan; pat into 12 x 4 inch rectangle. Cut lengthwise down center and then crosswise into sixths to form 12 loaves (I make mine bigger so its about 6 loaves). Seperate loaves, using spatula, so no edges are touching. Brush loaves with reserved 1/2 cup ketchup mixture.

3) Bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until loaves are no longer pink in the center.

Every single one of these reciepes were AMAZING and I am so thankful for those who sent them in!
