Cassandra is a wedding planner in Northeast Florida and is the owner of Flaire Weddings and Events. I was so flattered that she asked me to do some promo shots for her new website and marketing materials.

For someone who is often behind the scenes, I must say she did very well in front of the camera.

Allie is a model I photographed a few years ago and wanted to get some pictures for a project she is working on. Since I last saw her she has really come in to her own and has so much personal style. 

It was a blast photographing her because she came with so many great ideas and knew exactly what she was going for.

Again, Jackie Neal did an amazing job with the makeup.

Sommer is an up-and-coming actor. I photographed her and her sister recently.

Jaycel and Judy own the Etiquette of Chocolate, a confectionary house in Orange Park. I had the opportunity to photograph their amazing wedding cakes and delicious chocolates for their new website and promotional package.

Their cakes are beautiful and would make a great statement of style at any wedding or event, but I have to say that their bon-bons are to die for!

When Jaycel brought the cakes over my studio smelled heavenly. This was a great assignment because I got to eat the chocolates and a few slices of cake after I was done photographing everything…

Nadia is in the running for Miss Jacksonville 2008. Here are a few headshots from her session.

I wish you all the best, Nadia. You have the look and such an engaging personality! 

Al Letson is actually a lot more than just a playwright. He’s an accomplished poet, having performed on Russell Simmons’ Def Poetry on HBO, an actor, a writer, and the winner of the National Public Radio Talent Quest.

I photographed Al so he could update his publicity shots for some upcoming projects which include a play and film festival.

Pegine Echevarria is an amazing woman with lots of energy and personality.

I met Pegine through the Jacksonville Women’s Business Center, and had the opportunity to provide photographs for her updated website.

She’s a really inspirational speaker and is a member of the Motivational Speakers Hall of Fame! Her story is really awesome. You can check it out at her site, TeamPegine.com.

Pegine also wrote a motivational book with the greatest title: “Sometimes You Need To Kick Your Own Butt“!

Today I photographed rockstar tech guru Obie Fernandez. He is an author and high-profile member of the Ruby on Rails development community.
