As we tackle the many projects that 2009 is bringing us, we feel the need to get caught up with the ones we did back in 2008. We had the honor to be a part of Barbara and Neal’s wedding back on November 1st 2008 at the Colony on Longboat key Florida. The love these two have for each other is the kind that takes your breath away and you just feel so happy to be there to witness it. We had a great day, from great weather, great details, loving family and friends all the way down to our very first butterfly release wedding. We finished off the day with a sweet backstage which is a whole post by itself. We have so many pictures we could post, these are some of our favorites. Enjoy.

Meet the Wheelers. They are doing our baby’s first year plan and it’s been amazing to see how much Lilly has changed each session. They are such a fun family to photograph and Lilly is so cute. What lucky parents they are to get her all the time and capture all that sweetness whenever they want!

When we emailed this sweet couple about some options for their E-session and told them that we can catch some sweet lighting around 7am we didn’t expect a lightning “Yes” response to the crazy request. So we met and trooped it out to the deserted construction site at our own risk. You could see that there was a strong connection between these two the whole time. Not to mention that they know how to work it in front of the camera which is always a welcome plus. Enjoy these few favorites.

It is alive and finally here. The question came up a few months back whether Heartistic Photography really represented us as photographers, individuals and most importantly as a “BRAND” We came up with many choices, designed many logos and a couple different websites along the way then we finally hit it home with “Mandy & me”. Mandy is short for Amanda and the “me” well you guessed it, it is moi. Why we made that our choice, well for obvious reasons, it really represents us more than anything else, it represents the journey we decided to take together in this wonderful field and it represents our strong connection to it. It is also in our mind, a strong message about how personal and close we want to be with our clients. Enough said, please snoop around the new site and blog, give us your feedback and get ready to embark with us in our 2009 endeavor. A lot of exciting things along the way and we plan to share all the details with you as we go.

Thank you for stopping by.
