Welcome!

Thanks for visiting my blog! If you're a client looking for your sneak peeks, note that I normally have them up within a few days of the session, but at times it may take me up to a week. Remember to click on the picture to see it bigger, and feel free to nab these for use on Myspace, Facebook, or emailing to friends and family (but note- these are web-sized images, and not suitable for printing. Also, please do not remove my watermark. I'm proud of these images and want everyone to know I took them :) I make it small and discreet- and I'd rather not have to put a big, obnoxious watermark across them instead... So please help a girl (& the rest if my clients) out and respect my copyright! Thanks).
If you're a prospective client, make certain to visit my website for more images and info. There's a link in the sidebar. Please contact me with any questions or to schedule a session: gypsyisledesigns@yahoo.com. Thanks again for visiting and enjoy your stay!

Ms. S & Ms. M & Mr. W...

are all just cute as can be! I loved this impromptu session (and Dele LOVES Ms. M!!! I have some cute ones of those 2 to share as well ;)). (I have to say- I love all of these- but the one of Mr. W by himself just *cracks* me up! He was such a ham :))

Paula & Mike... Wed at last!

This was such a wonderful wedding to be involved in. Paula was once my roommate (best one ever!) and I've said for years she needs to be a party planner. Well, she even managed to exceed my high expectations and threw a wedding to remember! Rain poured in the morning and it was a very hard call for her to make... but after calling everyone she could think of for a weather forecast- she made the final decision to hold the wedding outdoors and just wish for the best... and the best was definitely what happened. It cleared up and was just a perfect sunset wedding!

From the McGuire's Bagpipe player(s) escorting the old Packard car (courtesy of Seville Quarter) down to the ceremony, to the beautiful flowers decorating the chairs and the graceful columns (done by the talented Fiore), to the lemonade stand with freshly squeezed lemonade, to the violinist, to the sailboat shooting off canons as Paula and Mike walked back to the car as man and wife- no detail was overlooked and all were beautiful.

Thank you so much for choosing Chyrel and I to document your wedding. We had a blast and we loved all the yummy details- it was like being in a candy store set up just for us :) I kind of overdid my "sneak peeks" this time... and plan on doing at least one more blog entry for you guys. But, I hope these preview images get you excited for your gallery of images. Thanks again- I love you guys!
