Hi everyone,
Welcome back! As you may remember from my last blog April was a busy month. Luckily it came and went smoothly and I am glad to report all of my photos are finished and the Cd’s delivered, meaning I can post Terra’s photos.
These photos were from my last session in April and not posted in my last blog, but were too HOT to ignore!
Terra is a fun loving, happily married (for all of those about to drool), great to work with woman! I enjoyed getting to know her and her story as much as I enjoyed working with her. Beautiful beyond belief – as a photographer I did my happy dance, and as a woman I grit my teeth to control my envy, lol. See the collages and find out why.
Terra’s hubby is deployed at the moment and this was just the gift to cheer him (and her) up. She will be mailing him the Cd tomorrow and with any luck he will get it within the month 
I am very pleased to announce she has sincerely said “he is definitely going to come home now” – HAHAHAHA! Glad to help
That being said, I am extending my $85 Glamour / Boudoir Special offering the one hour session and CD for another couple of months. SO ladies while we are getting back into the tan and tight beach bodies, don’t forget about me. What better way to remember yourself and give that special someone a gift too. I promise that NO client I have had with this type of session has ever been unhappy – Most have found a better boost of confidence and a new sexier (and happier) outlook on their appearance. This offer will expire in September so hurry on up and lets get going
I hope everyone enjoys Terra’s shots as much as she did. Thanks again for reading.

The Long Awaited…
Recent events…
Hi everyone,
I’m sorry for the gap in blogs. I just realized how long it’s been!
Here is what Ive been up to since the last time:
Traveled to Dunnellon on April 3rd for DHS’s Prom. There I had a few students who wanted photos done (one of which was my beautiful sister) I may just be biased though.
Melissa (my sister) and Dillan, Rebecca, Amberly and Daniel, and Shelby
On April 10th I got to share the day with Faith and Oumar who tied the knot at the Jacksonville Equestrian Center. What a great couple Best wishes all around.
April 17th I had a wonderful Family that I caught a beach trip with Mesha and Lauren did a mother/daughter shoot with me before, but this time they brought more family to remember. We all know how often it really is that everyone is in one place
Last but certainly not least I have two more sessions that aren’t pictured here — On April 22nd I had a portrait session with 15 month old twin boys Darling little one’s, but thats a Mother’s Day surprise so I won’t ruin it by posting before she gets her gift. Then last weekend on the 24th of April Grizzley, Pola, and I Marched for Babies with the annual March of Dimes event and to our surprise Ben (my hubby) joined us for his first walk. We also had L’Dawn and Belle tag along. Then on the 25th I went to Vilano to shoot Terra. She was a Glamour session that will come as quite a surprise for her deployed Fiance As she stated so happily during our session “He is definitely coming home to me (her) now”. Terra’s pictures should be done in the next week or so.
Thanks again for Viewing!

It’s that time of year again :)
Hello everyone,
As you may know Jacksonville’s March of Dimes is hosting another March For Babies again. I’m very excited to be a part of March for Babies this year, just as I have been in the past. This organization is very near and dear and it is one that I have committed countless hours and money into over the past 9 years. My Golden Retriever’s Grizzley and Pola will be walking with me this year. Grizzley is on year three and this will be Pola’s first year walking.
If you can’t make it out to join us this year please help me reach my goal by making a donation to my walk. It’s easy and secure – just click through to make your donation.
Your gift will fund March of Dimes research and programs that help moms have full-term pregnancies and babies begin healthy lives. And it will be used to bring comfort and information to families with a baby in newborn intensive care.
Please support this important work. You can make a donation with your credit card, or if you prefer, cash or a check is fine, too.
Thank you for helping me give all babies a healthy start!

Would you like to see what March for Babies is and why I’m walking?

The March of Dimes mission is to improve the health of babies by preventing birth defects, premature birth, and infant mortality.
I hope to see you there! Vanessa Bryan Freelance will be represented in a two person group with my two puppies as well. Look for the ever-so-adorable dogs in the hankerchiefs.
Thank you for reading and helping out this wonderful cause!

Nathan and Heather McCaslin
Heather and Nathan McCaslin tied the Knot again (offically)! They allowed me the chance to capture their vow renewal this time with family all in tow. The couple originally had a Justice of the Peace ceremony and thought now was the perfect time to have their all out event- Let me tell you they were right!
The ceremony was at Mayport Naval Base’s chapel with the reception following at Fontana’s Italian Restaurant. Heather chose a white and red color scheme and a candlelight reception.
The reception was amazing! Fontana’s really did a great job. The dining area was decorated with the Christmas tree which only added to the effect. Heather and Nathan’s centerpieces still have me reeling— Live red Beta fish in a tall vase with flower toppers! AMAZING! The “underage” guests got to keep the fish as a parting present.
Yes, the wedding went a little over budget, but I can easily tell from post wedding conversations with Heather – It really was the wedding of their dreams.
Congrats Nathan and Heather and I hope the move went well!
