Elise Kersey Photography
Elise Kersey Photography: I consider myself a lifestyle photographer. What does this mean? Basically, I want to capture the simple moments that inspire your life- you playing with your kids, precious time spent with your newborn baby, your little one’s first birthday, or an afternoon out on the town with your family. The location you choose and the wardrobe you select tell me what you are looking for with your session - whether that be spunky and urban, retro vintage or casual and relaxed. I love it all! I also love color - bright colors make for more interesting photos. Don’t be afraid to bring that hat you love, a cute scarf or those rain boots. Don’t hesitate to try something new or think of a theme. Let’s have some fun. I love props, especially personal things like a favorite toy or blanket. I love to capture children and families as they are, capturing moments that inspire your life!

Blessed Little Moments
I am natural light photographer, married to my high school sweetheart, and mother of two! My passion for photography began with the birth of my first son. With one blink of an eye our babies grow up so quickly... from bringing them home from the hospital, to sitting up on their own, to crawling, then walking, talking, and before you know graduating high school and venturing out on a life of their own. This TERRIFIES me! So any moment I can capture and keep forever to reflect on is the most precious gift. When people started asking me to photograph their families precious moments I felt honored and incredibly blessed.
I am currently taking bookings for maternity, newborns, children/ families, and senior portraits. Feel free to contact me with any questions you may have!

Debbie Gainey Photography
With preparation from the New York Institute of Photography, all I had was passion for photography and a dream. This dream began to unwrap when the love of my life, my husband, presented me with my first high-end professional camera. It was then, that I opened the doors to Debbie Gainey Photography. Since opening, in addition to photographing over 100 weddings I have also covered many local area events, fundraisers, and for the past 2 1/2 years been the exclusive photographer for the cover shot for a local magazine with the circulation of approximately 50k. I have had plenty of experience to know the importance of taking nothing but the best photographs at just the right moment.

Lisa Goodwin Photography
Lisa Goodwin Photography: I try and stay as natural as possible. I love capturing the moment not just some cheesy pose. For weddings I document every aspect of one of the most important days of your life. Tell the story, show the emotion these are so important. I want you to love you photos and in 50 years I want you to still look back and be able to relive the day through the images. For newborn, children and family I take the same approach. Children grow so fast, catching their personality is so important. "Fast food" photography studios never show personality. Taking the time and letting the kids take the lead is how amazing photography is made.

Studio Olivia
Hey everyone! My name is Tess Christensen and I am a portrait photographer shooting out of Gainesville, FL. I have lived here all my life (eek!) and now my husband and I are raising our one year old here as well. Leo has become a great model over the past year, and I can't wait to photograph more babies! I recently gradutated from The Photography Institute, and now I'm ready to get my business in gear. I started out taking photos of flowers with my dad as a hobby, and haven't stopped shooting since. I have fallen in love with capturing life and its beauty. I photograph babies, pets, families, and would love to start doing weddings. If you want someone who's laid back, fun, and flexible I'm the right photographer for you. All you need to do is enjoy yourself, maybe take a vacation from yourself for a day, or capture life's precious moments and remember them forever. I'll even bring a bottle of wine to calm your nerves if you like! That always makes me feel better! If you have a certain style you like, I will be very flexible to your needs. If you aren't sure what you like, I can give your photos my own little twist. So email me or give me a call, I can't wait to hear from you!

Sweet Serendipity Photography
Photography to me is so much more than an image on a computer or photograph paper. It is a way to tell a story, your story, and a way to capture those magical moments that make life so special. My love of photography was rediscovered after the birth of my daughter and I desperately wanted a way to document all of her milestones and memories. My style is mainly photojournalistic, and I feel that life is best captured when it unfolds naturally in front of you rather than trying to force smiles and laughter for the camera.
