Santa Rosa County Republican Executive Committee / Headshots / The Hanger

The local Republican Executive Committee gave me the opportunity to take headshots for their members. Updated headshots are essential for politicians or aspiring politicians who need to be able to connect with their constituents, the media, and others in the political space. These were taken on location at one of their monthly meetings at The Hanger in Milton. They provided the backdrop and the props. The location proved to be challenging to shoot in, but I think these turned out really well.

Chris and Alyssa / Wedding / Ates Ranch

Chris and Alyssa’s second wedding ceremony was at the beautiful Ates Ranch in Milton, Florida, the day after their beach wedding. It was a pleasure being able to shoot for these two and capture their wonderful day! The bride was stunning, the food was great, and the venue was absolutely beautiful!

Christ and Alyssa / Beach Wedding / Pensacola Beach

Chris and Alyssa had a TWO WEDDINGS in one weekend! This one was at the beach in honor of Alyssa’s brother and just had close family and friends. It was so much fun when they all ran into the Gulf of Mexico and started splashing around. And the kids were all in Scooby-Doo shirts. One of our favorite shoots so far!

Kim / Graduation / UWF

It was such a pleasure being able to photograph Kim on campus at UWF! She’s finishing up her degree in Mechanical Engineering this Spring. I met her at the UWF Grad Fair earlier this year and look forward to seeing her again at the UWF Graduation Ceremony where I’ll be working as ceremony photographer. It was a cloudy day on the day our session, but in spite of that, I’m really happy with how these photos turned out!

I want to thank Kim and her mother for allowing me the opportunity to capture these photos of her as she prepares for this momentous transition in her life from student to career and I wish her all the best in her endeavors!

Jordan and Audrey / Engagement Photos / Downtown Pensacola and Pensacola Beach

We met Jordan and Audrey at the Pensacola Bridal Expo in January and we immediately clicked! I was so excited when they chose us to do their engagement and wedding photos. These look fantastic and we can’t wait to shoot their wedding in 2024!

Dustin and Victoria / Couple’s Portraits / Milton and Pensacola Beach

Dustin and Victoria are good friends of ours from church who had me shoot some fun photos of them. This shoot was basically an engagement shoot, just with a couple who’s already married.

Jeremy and Anna / Engagement Photos / Milton and Pensacola Beach

I go to church with Jeremy and Anna and asked them if they’d be willing to do a photo shoot with me. I was so excited when they agreed. They’re such a cute couple and these photos turned out so good.

Free Photo Day / Pensacola Beach

In late 2022, I had decided it was time to branch out on my own. I needed a fun way to build up my portfolio and drum up some business. So, I borrowed an artificial Christmas tree, gathered some props, made a sign saying I was doing free photos, and headed to the beach. A Christmas tree on the beach sure is eye catching and I got some great, fun portraits!

Seitz / Wedding / Adventures Unlimited

When you work for other people as a photographer, you often times do not have any rights to the photos you take. Early in my career as a self employed photographer, I would often take photos at events that I was working in another capacity, such as this one at Adventures Unlimited where I was serving as the event DJ.

I absolutely loved shooting at this location! In this area of the country, wooded areas tend to just look brown and drab, but Adventures Unlimited has made a beautiful looking location and the wedding decorations were spot on. I hope I get to do more weddings out there both as a DJ and a photographer!

Event photographers don’t usually get pictures of themselves. When I’m DJing and also taking photos, I like to make sure I get a few of the photographer and pass those along to them.
