Say hello to the newest little bit of awesome to join our team. We are so excited to have Anna on as part of La Dolce Vita Studio! We have been growing by leaps and bounds this past year and were ready to bring someone in to help with some of the behind the scenes studio life. Anna is such a perfect fit for us. She is a vibrant, creative soul that will surely be a blessing to us and our clients. This is her second week working with us and she is an absolute delight. I’m excited for you all to get to know her as well. I took her out the other day for a little mini shoot and posted a few of my favorites down below. Aren’t her vintage boots incredible!!! I love this girl’s style and zest for life. So without further ado meet Anna…

Well hello everyone! I am the new Marketing | Design Manager for La Dolce Vita Studio and I am so excited to be working with such talented photographers. Just a little about me…I am originally from Chapel Hill, North Carolina and will always be a Tarheel. My family moved to Statesboro, Georgia where I went to high school and my parents still reside. I attended the University of Georgia where I majored in Interior Design through the Lamar Dodd School of Art. I love art and was fortunate to be able to experiment with all genres of studio art while earning my degree. During my time in Athens I blossomed into the bright, bubbly person I am today. Athens is such a unique city full of life, culture, and of course, bulldogs. GO DAWGS!

I have a passion for photography and would like to experiment more with digital photography and see where it can lead me. Melanie and Bradford are so amazing and I am so glad that I get to work with them and learn from them. I love design; interior design, furniture design, and graphic design. I would like to someday have my own studio devoted to some facet of art or design. Traveling and exploring new cultures is another one of my passions. I have a desire to visit every place I can and see everything there is to see! Right now I am pretty much lovin’ life!

Amy and Max | Florida Portrait Photographers

Last month La Dolce Vita Studio participated in Images for a Cure. This was a fantastic charity event where photographers all across the country and beyond could give their talents to support Breast Cancer Research. Its so rare to find someone who has not been affected by this terrible disease and Brad and I were honored to loan our talents to bring something beautiful to something so ugly. Amy and her son Max were one of the clients who donated their session fee to the cause and we shot these beautiful images of them near the Indian River in New Smyrna Beach, FL. Some of you may recognize Amy as one of the bridesmaids from Jessica & Kevin’s wedding last year. Little Max was just a bump in her belly back then but he is here now full of personality and cute as a button. Here are some of my favorite images from their mini session.

Happy… and not so happy

I’m so excited to finally be able to share this gorgeous boudoir session with you all. Jamie was so much fun to shoot. She came with super sexy clothes and wanted to do a more story telling type session. We had a blast working with her concept and photographing her incredibly beautiful tattoos. These are some of my favorite images from this particular boudoir marathon. I hope you all enjoy! Thanks Jamie for sharing your stunning images with everyone!
