Giving Back | Stars for Sendai – gainesville professional photographer

Laurel — Fri, 03 Jun 2011 22:58:03 +0000

Stars for Sendai was created by 12 year old Gainesville philanthropist, Delaney Rua to benefit the victims of the Tsunami and Earthquake that hit Japan in March 2011. There is a wonderful article featured in the Jun/Jul 2011 of Giggle Magazine that is out now. The editorial in the magazine is photographed by Lifeprints Photography. . I photographed the actual benefit which was held at the Haile Plantation Farmer’s Market in May. I took Aidan with me and we got to meet Delaney and her wonderful family. She is talented beyond words – it’s hard to believe that she is just 12 years old! What an inspiration.

Disney’s Mulan the Musical – gainesville florida theatre photographer

Laurel — Sat, 12 Mar 2011 17:42:53 +0000

I’m super proud of my eldest daughter Madison who is currently in her high school production of Disney’s Mulan. She has worked so hard for the past several months keeping up with her regular IB program school schedule and the rigors of after school rehearsals. She’s up at 6 am and out the door at 7 a.m. and finally home after 10 p.m.! We went to see the production on Wednesday and was totally blown away by the cast and the incredible costumes and stage decorations. The last showing is this evening at 7 p.m. at Eastside High School. I highly recommend it – and it really is for ALL ages! I captured some pictures from this week but it really does not do the play justice – you have to see it with your own eyes!

Rockin Birthday Party – gainesville florida children photographer

Laurel — Tue, 26 Oct 2010 03:04:26 +0000

I had a rockin’ great time photographing this adorable guy’s 5 year birthday party last Sunday. It was a rock star theme complete with all the trimmings including real guitars, black and white musical note cupcakes that sat on top of a matching drum kit, a bounce house, face paining, and the best friends ever! It was the perfect afternoon. I met so many great little kids and enjoyed watching them all play. Here are a few pictures from the party. You ROCK little one!

The Wonka Chocolate Party: Emily’s Quinceanera | gainesville event photographer

Laurel — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 17:54:14 +0000

The theme was Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory and the room was decorated to the nines!!! I’ve never seen such elaborate centerpieces and the cake was just fantastic. You should have seen the candy bar set up for everyone to enjoy! Thank you Emily and beautiful Mama Jamie for inviting me to capture such a special event – Emily’s Quinceanera. It was such a thrill to see it all come together after hearing about it for so long. It was magnificent!!!
