Kim & Jeffrey

I love meeting new families and capturing their stories. I had the privilege of meeting one of my friend's Mom, Kim, this past week and taking pictures for her, her fiancee, and son, Wyatt.

Full of beautiful smiles, exotic scenery and an obvious love for one another, this family is excited to share a wonderful Christmas together!

Merry Christmas from Team Cummins...and the BEACH!

This scene describes us perfectly. Katie & I have grown up on this beach...each summer sharing our dreams, secrets & fears along its sandy shores.

Sanibel Island holds a special place in our hearts. And this year, we captured some of our special moments to share with you!

Katie is a freshman at UF, studying physiology & is actively involved on the Spirit Squad where she spends a lot of time with her friend, Alberta. She is a lifeguard at the YMCA & also serves in Hope Kidz & mentors young students at Church of Hope. She is not only my sister, but she is my best friend.

Mark & Linda (better known to me as Dad & Mom!) unpack life with long convertible rides, walks on the beach, & black coffee. This past year, Linda was Mark's coach, cheerleader & therapist as he finished the USMC marathon. They are looking forward to being in Kenya in January 2012. They love being a part of the community of Christ followers known as Church of Hope!

As for me, I am a junior at UF, studying Advertising and English. I serve on several teams at Church of Hope & am investing in 14forty's middle school girls. I am currently training for a half marathon and have launched my own photography business, EC Photography!

Join us this Christmas Eve at Church of Hope!

Friday, December 23 at Diamond A Farm at 6 PM (directions at www.hopeinocala.com)

Saturday, December 24 at Church of Hope at 3 PM & 5 PM

From my family to your's, I am praying that this Christmas season & New Year will be filled with grace, peace, hope & new beginnings.

A Mommy & Daughter Christmas

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas--even in sunny Florida!

Amber & Cloey are one of the cutest Mommy/Daughter duos I know! I had so much fun capturing their smiles & joy as they are getting excited for Christmas!

EC Photography

I am so excited about this journey I have been on! A year ago I passionately began pursuing my love for photography--and uncovering stories through the lens. Now, I am officially launching EC Photography! Thank you to everyone who has traveled this journey with me!

Love, When You Least Expect It

As we drove to our photo shoot location & their future wedding spot, I loved hearing Matt & Esther's story unfold.

Through a series of events, Matt & Esther ended up in Ocala. Not looking for a relationship, they were just pursuing their dreams, goals & relationship with God. They met at Convoy of Hope this past summer while passing out bags of food to families who were looking for hope. One thing led to another and eventually Matt & Esther realized that they had met that day for a reason. "When you least expect it, you can just expect it to happen," Matt said.

Now, several months later, they are looking forward to their wedding on March 10, 2012. I am excited to see their story continue to unfold!

A Story of New Beginnings

Last week I had the privilege of shooting my first wedding! I have loved getting to know Carrie & Casey over the past few months. Even more special was taking pictures of their next step as followers of Christ in Baptism today...one week after the start of their new life together!
