Sunrise Engagement Photos, Boynton Beach Florida

Amber and James found me online to photograph their engagement photos (thank you!!!).  They were having their wedding in the islands and sadly didn’t need me for that, although I tried to convince them to stuff me in their suitcase!  I did my usual pitch about sunrise sessions being the best, although the timing is the worst.  Well, they agreed to go for a sunrise session!  I can’t tell you how happy it makes me to do sunrise photo sessions at the beach!   Although I would prefer if the sun set in the east so we can do SUNSET sessions instead!  But there is something magical about watching that great ball of fire rise from the horizon…gives me shivers ever time!

 

Ok, back to the cute couple!  We had a lovely morning at the beach!  They both said they were not photogenic but looking at the pictures, I’d say they were wrong, don’t you agree?  What a sweet, sweet couple they were.  Best wishes to them for a lifetime of love and laughter together!  Thank you for choosing Katie Smith Photography for your engagement photos!  And thanks for agreeing to a sunrise beach photo session!!!

Bar Mitzvah, Delray Beach, Florida, Lady Atlantic Yacht

Congratulations Jordan on becoming a Bar Mitzvah!  Have I mentioned recently how much I enjoy photographing mitzvahs?  My husband says it’s because I’m just a big kid…although I disagree, I’m not all that big!  Well, Jordan’s mitzvah was no exception…all my faves:  a fun mitzvah, Cantor Ann, the Lady Atlantic Yacht.  I really don’t think it gets much better.  Jordan did a great job during the service, and his sister did a great job dancing through the whole party!

Boynton Beach, Florida Wedding, Oceanfront Park

Valentine’s Day fell on a Monday this year, but that didn’t mean it wasn’t a popular day for a wedding!  And where better to have a wedding in South Florida than on the beach at sunset!  I met with Laura a few weeks before the wedding so we could plan out the best location and time to start the photos.  Even though she and Jim were having a quaint wedding, she wanted to do whatever was necessary to capture beautiful photos from their wedding!  That is always a relief to the photographer, when you have clients that are ready, willing and able to change their schedules to accommodate the best light and allow enough time for photos after the ceremony!!!    Thanks Laura and Jim for allowing me to capture some beautiful images from your day!  I hope the photos bring you enjoyment for years and years to come!  Congratulations

Professional Business Headshots, Boca Raton, Florida

A while back I was hired to photograph the staff of MaximLife MD – an office specializing in nutritional coaching and cleansing.  I had previously done family portraits for the office manager, as well as 2 other employees, so I was thrilled when I got this job as well – I love repeat customers!!!

 

The office in Boca Raton is beautiful, and the employees are amazing.  If you are looking for a nutritional coach in the Boca area, check them out!  https://www.facebook.com/pages/Maxim-Life/114454681959577?sk=info

 

And don’t forget to tell the staff I said hi!

Sundy House Wedding, Delray Beach Florida

I met Gina a few years ago through networking at the Boynton Beach Chamber of Commerce.  As two like-minded, fun-loving people, we bonded quite quickly (all it took was a chatting over a cup of coffee one morning)!  But when she asked me to photograph her and Patrick’s wedding, I about cried!  It is such a privilege for me to be able to photograph weddings, let alone a friend’s wedding!!!  And since then, we’ve become even closer (although she travels so much now I never get to see her!  *cry*).  Gina and Patrick’s wedding was PERFECT!  The ceremony was fabulous (with Patrick’s daughters as his best girls!!!)…complete with a little giggity in there for fun; the reception was fun…so much dancing, monkey cake toppers, funny speeches..the works…check out the Fusion Video below!  She even let me put them in a tree for the photos – after all, Gina IS part monkey!  Congratulations Gina and Patrick, and thank you for having me a part of your day, it really means so much to me!  I can’t wait for you to come back to Florida so we can get some play time in…I’m missing my lil monkey!!!
