Surfing Swell Hurricane Florence | St Augustine Photographer
I wanted to make an official blog to make it easier for others to find the surfing photos I am shooting during the Hurricane Florence "Swell: on the east coast of Florida.
I am heartbroken that this hurricane will cause so much devastation . We have been thru two major back to back hurricanes here in St Augustine and the surrounding areas. So it is 'healing' for many to just escape and surf the swell and not have a direct hit.
I met several today at the pier that have evacuated from the North and South Carolina . The guys said hey we want to surf here even though we know our homes may be destroyed. It is healing for them in sense conquering the waves that may very likely flood their homes.
AS you surf and look at these photos keep that in mind. That these waive bring fun and devastation.
You have my prayers!

Heather & Tommy Wedding | St Augustine Wedding Photographer + Florida Destination Wedding
I had the sweet honor of documenting Heather and Tommy's wedding vow renewal a few weeks ago on St Augustine Beach. They flew down for a few days just for this special day. She chose Anastasia State Park because of its natural beauty. Her brother was also present as he was deployed when she married.
Her music of choice was Ruelle "I get to love you"
Congratulations Tommy & Heather!
Here is a little video fusion I did for them .
Athena's Homebirth | St Augustine + Jacksonville Birth Photographer
Athena Isabelle was born in June and was welcomed by THREE big brothers. Her momma is also a birth doula and I was her doula and birth photographer. Not that she really needed much doula love. She made her home water birth look so easy and labored silently . Her midwife Shea was right there with her and her husband. Her boys woke up just in time and right after she was peacefully born in the water.
Welcome Athena!
Sophie's Homebirth Story | St Augustine Birth Photographer
June was a BUSY birth month locally thanks to Hurricane Irma in the fall of 2017. Kelly called me last minute and decided to hire me as her birth photographer AGAIN.
This was the third birth I was her doula and photographer twice before. This time she chose a Homebirth ! Her last birth was very fast and I had suggested it.
She txt me at 8:20 pm June 12 that she was having some surges. That her midwife, Jacinda Golden, was on her way over. So I said I would leave as well. Knowing she had no pattern prior and went fast. She also lived about 50 minutes away. Her husband txt me again "surges are 3 minutes apart "
When I arrived I went right in and HEARD her making pushing sounds. I got my camera out and started shooting, as I touched her back to let her know I was there (she is slightly hearing impaired so needs to read lips ) she had such relief on her face. Baby Sophie was born 5 minutes later!
She weighed TEN pounds ! The look on the midwife's face is priceless!
