Veteran's Day Parade 2010

The band walked up from Leon to their starting spot in the parade.

Love those motocycle veterans.

Love this guy standing behind the deputy.

I photograph this guy just about every year.

Our colors.

Florida State University's ROYAL FLUSH.

And here they are...MARCHING REDCOATS.

And Chance who can't help but smile when the crowd yelled his name.

Kingsmen

I was fortunate enough this weekend to be able to attend the November training camp of the Capital City Kingsmen, Tallahassee's WGI Indoor Competitive Drumline.

It was fantastic.

Both my boys have marched in high school band, but this was so different to watch and see how an indoor drumline goes about learning drills and practicing music. I imagine it's like the pro version of marching band. It is unbelievably FAST PACED!

On this cold, Saturday morning

This is what we were doing.

Leon vs Wakulla

The band is now practicing right before the games since Marching Festival is over. It was a frigid night for the Homecoming Games against Wakulla. They beat us which means that our season ends now. I'm sad because I've enjoyed going to the games and taking pics of the band. Only two more years! {sniff, sniff}

About SAPY

Not necessarily in that order. Depends on the day. This was a good day.

During my 10 years as a professional photographer and as my children have grown, I have developed a passion for documenting our lives and the lives of those around us. I have found it a great way to hold on to the little moments that have brought us all together; the people that I cherish most. I am very grateful to have these images to reflect and recount the wonderful times in our lives.

I take this philosophy and apply it to my work. I approach each session as I would my own.  I shoot relaxed lifestyle portraits – which is simply a personalized photo shoot just for you.  I think it is important not only to photograph each individual and the groups, but to capture the moments in between when everything is real.  The laughs, the giggles, the frowns, interactions between each person. I believe everyone should have amazing and beautiful images to be able to look back on and treasure that represent who they are as a person, not just a prop in front of a silly over-used backdrop.  I take great pride in making my images unique and to offer you a fun, easy and relaxed experience. I love knowing at the end of the shoot that we have not only gained amazing photos, but great friends as well.
