Wedding | Cecilia + RJ

Carissa — Fri, 13 May 2011 02:47:28 +0000

I feel nothing but thankfulness for having been apart of this special day in Cecilia and RJ’s life. Each lovely detail led to another and they all came together beautifully to represent the love that RJ and Cecilia share with eachother and their family. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t taking notes for my own wedding someday. Be sure to look at how perfectly Justin DeMutiis photographed this enchanting backyard wedding.

Wedding | Tampa Palms | I + S

Carissa — Tue, 05 Apr 2011 20:35:23 +0000

Here is just one of the many weddings I’ve been shooting with Justin DeMutiis.

Wedding | Glen Lakes Country Club | B + H

Carissa — Thu, 18 Nov 2010 02:54:48 +0000

Heather glowed from head to toe. The entire day I never saw an expression come across her face that wasn’t beautiful. She could charm a fish right out of a fish bowl, and everyone who was in her presence felt her loveliness – especially Broc. Second shooting for Justin on their wedding day was a blast and I feel honored to have been able to capture the love that Broc and Heather share so deeply.

Wedding | The Marriott Waterside | S + L

Carissa — Wed, 27 Oct 2010 17:25:49 +0000

I’ve been a rather busy bee these days; the kind of busy that made editing these photos more like therapy than work. This month I was particularly blessed to second shoot for Justin DeMutiis three times, and each of those times the ceremonies have been held out-of-doors in some splendid weather. Be sure to check out how beautifully Justin captured this day here and stay tuned for some more peeks at what I’ve been up to.

Wedding | Lange Farm | M + K

Carissa — Thu, 09 Sep 2010 12:36:22 +0000

This is a wedding that I second shot with Justin DeMutiis, with whom I have had the continual honor of photographing beautiful weddings. Mike and Kristen’s wedding and reception took place at the Lange Farm. What a gorgeous venue (and bride and groom!).

Photographers to Inspire

Brie — Wed, 20 Jan 2010 02:19:08 +0000

I’d like to take a moment and share with you some of the photographers whose work I really really admire. These people don’t know it but they have been incredibly influential in the development of my photography over the past 6 months. Though I am confident that I am learning to master a style of my very own, I would not be where I am right now without the inspiration of these talented artists. I admire each one of these photographers for different reasons and I think they each have a unique artistry. Check ‘em out and let me know what you think.

Frolicking Freely in a Field

Brie — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 05:30:41 +0000

(An Impromptu Photo Session with Dave Smeltz aka the man who makes it possible for B. Leigh to do what she does)

Tonight after dinner we decided to jump in the car and scope out a possible location that I’d had my eye on for a while. It’s a field! (I’ve been wishing to find a lovely field for a while now!) It’s not quite the same as a truly rural field like the kind I might find in north county somewhere, but at 3 minutes away from my house and smack dab in the middle of one of St. Petersburg’s busiest major roads, I can’t complain. We pulled up to the parking lot nearby and I hopped out of the car to investigate. After I’d been gone for a while and just when I had been thinking “I really wish I had a subject right now”, Dave strode up. “Good! Now I can really test this thing out”, I thought. He graciously stood here and there while I tested the light and got my bearings. He wasn’t too sure about it but I had a feeling I was going to like what I saw when I uploaded the images to my computer. It didn’t hurt that he just so happened to be wearing yellow which matched perfectly with the coloring of this particular location and time of day. It completely made me think of fall. If St. Petersburg had a fall season, that is. In any case, I think this location could be a winner and you may just start to recognize this field in subsequent photo shoots. In fact, it will be the location of a very special session we’re doing tomorrow night. It’s of a couple who just recently celebrated their 3 year anniversary–ME and my husband Dave. For now, take a look at these impromptu “test shots” and see what you think.
