I had a busy photography weekend. And really, a pretty busy week too. There was no slowing down! It was great to get out and explore new places and make friends with similar passions and goals. The weather has been fantastic and I’m making good use of my convertible before it gets too hot to have the top down

On Saturday, the JFT group had a model shoot in Fort Clinch in Fernandina Beach, Florida. It’s north of Jacksonville, a neat little town with charm. We visited Fort Clich which is a very old well-preserved fort. It was a great place to photograph aspiring models. I posted several shots:

• Lindsey
• Alyssa
• Deb O’Nair
• Justin

On Sunday, I had a portrait session with a really cool “eclectic” couple.  Everything about them was neat… from driving an electric car, their professions, to hearing her cool English accent. It was neat getting to talk to them.  I first connected with her on a blog  I read and they invited me to Three Layers Coffeehouse in Springfield.  When I was asking friends about this coffeehouse, no one really knew about it.  Springfield has a bad rep but Three Layers is a real gem.  It was the most welcoming, beautiful coffeehouse I’ve seen in Jacksonville yet.  They have a wine bar called the Cellar and a Zen Garden in the back.

Here are a few sneak peaks of their shoot:

Before the shoot, friends from Fort Myers stopped in Jacksonville for lunch while they were passing through town.  I’m really impressed by this couple who are fostering several children.  I’m always touched when I hear that people are helping make other people’s lives better.

Justin & Christine

The Jax Field Trips group on Flickr’s monthly photo outing was at Fort Clinch State Park in Fernandina Beach, Florida.  It is “one of the most well-preserved 19th century forts in the country,” according to the State Parks website.  JFT invaded the park for a day and we had a great time networking and taking portraits of aspiring models.  More portraits from the day to come!

Alyssa

Alyssa is so beautiful.  She has a gorgeous exotic look.  Her eyes were amazing.  See the full set here.

It was a rainy day Saturday in Jacksonville, FL but there were still lovely moments to capture with newborn baby girl Savannah. This precious little girl was only 7 days old when photographed. Taking pictures of a newborn gave my ovaries a little tug…  I’ll admit it

Here are some early sneak pics.

A big thank you to Ruth of Roving Girl Photography, who allowed me to join her for this newborn shoot in Atlantic Beach, Florida.  It’s great to have an amazing network of photographers who are so receptive to collaboration.

If you’re interested in my photography for newborns, maternity, weddings or portraits, please let me know!

In the heart of Five Points, is a great little hippie or “import” shop called Midnight Sun Imports.  I love the rich and vibrant colors of these dresses (pictured, right) that were outside on the sidewalk.  I love the smell of incense that resonates in the front of the store. Mmm Nap Champa…. take a moment.  Can you smell it too?

I knew it was *love* when I entered for the first time and they were playing acoustic rockstar god/musical looping genius Keller Williams on the store’s speakers.   I was a freaker right by the speaker yearning for double decker double-wides.

From their site,

Midnight Sun is a retail store that specializes in unique handmade gift items from around the world. We have been in business for over 11 years, and are located in a historical district known as Five Points – Jacksonville, Florida.

In our shop we sell a wide variety of Sterling silver and gemstone jewelry; clothing – skirts, dresses, shoes, sarongs, yoga ware, furniture, wall and floor coverings, picture frames, photo albums, lanterns, natural body care, music, and incense. We hand select our products which are handmade and imported from a variety of countries. Our silver – gemstone and deity jewelry, clothing, and accessories come from Nepal, India, and Thailand. Most of our home furnishings we import from Bali, Indonesia.

Okay, enough gushing.

Here’s the pretty Latoya smiling downtown at Jacksonville… right before AT&T asked us to get off of their property It was a beautifully shaded area… but no worries, we were off to the next spot!

So in a little bit, I’m heading down to Five Points to meet up with some new photographers who doing a project called Broken Places.  According to Jaxscene,  this project is about,

“heading a photography and art project that challenges several photographers to search out and photograph Jacksonville’s abandoned, lost, rare, eerie, broken, or drab places and things. Each can add their own touch and post processing Styles.

This project is about discovery. When looking for the unknown nooks we will be stumbling upon lots of history and some of the weirdest anomalies in Jacksonville.”

Later tonight, I’m meeting up with the Jax Field Trip shoot in San Marco.

And tomorrow… more photography.  I love it! <3
