Sutton | Graceful High School Senior Portraits in Palm Beach, Florida

On July 14th, 2026, I had the pleasure of capturing Sutton’s classy senior portraits in sunny Palm Beach, Florida. Her session began at the iconic pink Colony Hotel where she was staying. She wore a darling light blue gingham dress. Then we strolled along Worth Avenue before she changed into her second outfit. Her second look was an elegant white strapless dress, which popped beautifully against the green palm trees and blue ocean! Her session was a classic Palm Beach dream! I hope you enjoy the highlights from her graceful high school senior portraits in Palm Beach, Florida!

Tropical Clementine & Eucalyptus Themed Brunch Baby Shower at the Colony Hotel in Palm Beach, Florida

On March 2nd, 2024, I had the pleasure of capturing Allison’s tropical clementine & eucalyptus-themed baby shower. It was a breathtaking event at the iconic Colony Hotel in Palm Beach, Florida. White, scalloped umbrellas filled the scene with bistro lights hanging above. White orchids, lush green monstera leaves, muted eucalyptus branches & bright orange clementines filled the tables. The focal point of the event space gave a tropical bohemian vibe with rattan chairs, detailed signage, and eye-catching balloon art.

The stunning mother-to-be: Allison wore a blue, smocked dress with the cutest blue shoes! The brunch baby shower was filled with beautiful smiling faces from around the globe—all there to shower Allison with love as she prepared to welcome sweet baby Kai! It was a gorgeous day in Palm Beach for her outdoor brunch baby shower! I was honored to document the elegant affair!

Allison, wishing you all the best as you step into this beautiful new season of motherhood! Thank you for the pleasure of capturing your stunning baby shower!

Brittany + Justin | Elegant Palm Beach Engagement

On November 10th, 2019, Andrew and I had the pleasure of capturing Brittany and Justin's elegant Palm Beach engagement session! This session quickly became one for the books! Justin and Brittany invited us explore Palm Beach in their family's Rolls Royce! We stopped at a handful of the most iconic Palm Beach locations, capturing the most romantic engagement photos! Talk about a dream session!

We visited the Flagler Museum, The Breakers Palm Beach, Bethesda by the Sea and Worth Avenue. Not only did we have a gorgeous car and the dreamiest locations but also the most stunning couple! They wore such elegant outfits that worked so well with each location. Justin wore a classic black tuxedo and Brittany wore a sparkly, silver sequin cocktail dress. Together they were show stoppers!

Their entire session was filled with adventure and fun! We felt like we were just hanging out with our friends the entire time! Also, being the car girl that I am, I loved having an extra prop in their photos. That Rolls probably made it into too many shots, but boy, was it pretty! Some of my favorite shots were the ring shots taken on the car! They turned out amazingly, and I'm still obsessed.

Brittany & Justin:

Thank you so much for allowing us the honor of documenting such a special time in your lives! It was such a pleasure getting to know you both and working with you! We truly had the BEST time with you guys, and we would be elated to work together again! Enjoy this sweet season and have the best time eloping!! We are so happy for you both!
