Debbie and Charlie are just the sweetest, so it was my pleasure to photograph them recently for a Success from Home magazine spread.
They have a beautiful, southern home...
They also have a sweet dog named Rusty...
Aren't they cute?
A few inside the house...
It was great seeing you two again - I hope you and your fabulous family have a Merry Christmas! :) |

Brig and Lita Hart: Florida
|
|
Last week I went to Ponte Vedra to get some photographs of Brig and Lita for SUCCESS from Home magazine.
Brig is building/re-modeling a home that will be a retreat for black diamonds executives.
It will come complete with a big boat and nice toys...
We also got some shots of Lita and Brig at their house. This is Lita relaxing on their luxurious bus.
Lita and Brig being filmed by Nick, the camera guy.
A quick ride on the bike...
Check out their reflection...
Hopping in their lamborghini to head down to a local restaurant to have dinner...
Enjoying the view on the dock...love these.
Lots more R3 photos to come in the next week or two - as well as photos from a fabulous wedding this weekend. :)

Family Reunion: Orlando: Post 3
|
|
***If you are here to see wedding and portrait work - please choose from the categories menu above.***
This is the third and final post from R3 Global's Family Reunion event that was held in Orlando. As far as time goes, this event is equal to shooting 8 or 9 weddings, so it takes me quite a while to sort through the images and get things posted.
A worship service was held Sunday morning from 9-12. Great praise music is always involved.
Everyone got to hear Dean Sikes again...
Brig shared his story with everyone.
The morning concluded with Pastor Paul Zink.
You might think that most people would have to leave Sunday morning to catch flights home and get on the road, but the room was packed.
After the worship service, hundreds of people moved to the indoor pool area that had been reserved so that those wishing to be baptized could do so.
There were so many people that I did't realize that Blake was baptized until I was editing photos.
It was pretty amazing to see groups of people continuously going down into the pool.
Steve and Gina assisted two of their children with the baptism that afternoon - Raimi decided to do so too. I love the joyful expression of the lady behind them.
You may remember sweet, sweet Hailey and Lyndsey from their family photo session last year. It was great to see them baptized with the assistance of their grandfather.
Pastor Paul Zink...
It was truly an awesome day.
With that said, I have more random photos from the event. I'll start with just a few of the items from the R3 store. I always love detail shots.
It's always fun to sneak around and get shots of the R3 staff.
This is Louis, one of the official taste testers for the R3 Cookbook. :) He is also the reason I think it is always a good idea to say, "No!" from now on when someone says, "Wanna go up REALLY high behind the stage to get a crowd shot?"
The area behind the stage looks a little like a Star Wars set...
Playing around with silhouettes...
Steve pretty much knows everything and keeps everything moving. I snagged this shot when he was flying by on one of the bikes. I think MANY people would love to drive all of the vehicles like Steve does.
Security is one tough crew. Scary? :)
You just wouldn't believe all of the people that are involved with production - it is very impressive!
I have no idea who these guys are (I think they came in to do the lighting), but it looks like they have a plan! :)
Unpacking boxes for R3's store...
A cute prop in the store...
Lots of shoppers and people working the registers...
This is what the room looks like when it is mostly empty except for the lights going up.
The crew (the Disney crew I believe) putting up the thematic touches to give a beach vibe.
It is always fun to watch as people began to trickle in...
People arrive very early and line up to get the best seats. The massive line snakes down the hallway and through the conference center.
Everyone is so excited as they enter. It might look chaotic, but security does a great job and everything is actually very controlled.
A view of part of the stage area from the back of the room...
The stage was set up to look like a boardwalk...
The "Hart Surf Shop" was my favorite part of the scenery. I loved how they changed the video, lighting, and colors from morning to bright sun to sunset.
The other side of the stage looked great too.
What do you think about the palm trees? Cool, huh?
Even the M.O.R.E. shot bar outside in the hall was appropriately themed. The proceeds from the sale of Monavie shots go to the M.O.R.E. Project.
Of course there was a new product at the shot bar that was not available last year...Monavie's new healthy energy drink!
That's it for the R3 Family Reunion even photos.
Check back next week to see a fun enagement session that I'm shooting this weekend in Florida. More importantly, keep your fingers crossed that we don't get rained out!

***If you are here to see wedding and portrait work - please choose from the categories menu above.***
If you are a regular blog reader, you know that I sometimes do work for R3 Global when I am free. I recently traveled to Orlando to photograph a convention that they held at the Marriott World Center. I was there for five days, so it will take a few posts to share the images with you.
Saturday morning began with a warm welcome from Ron, Corbin, and Holly.
Katy Larsen spoke about the M.O.R.E. project.
Next, Jeff Graham spoke about Monavie's new energy drink.
Dallin was not able to make it to Orlando this time, but he did make a video appearance.
Drew Read spoke about the Paul Anderson Youth Home.
There were several great panels throughout the day...
Ed and Cheryl Henderson got the audience involved with a great activity to help with strengthening marriages.
Next, the crowd heard from Pastor Paul Zink.
After a break, while waiting for the next session to start, the crowd really got busy dancing!
A dance line was formed...
Corbin even did a handstand...
More singing from Tim Gidley...
The Canadians were definitely in attendance...and let me tell you...they are a wild and crazy group! :)
Debbie and Charlie Kalb...
John Bevere spoke about forgiveness and overcoming intimidation.
Brig...
Gina and Steve...
Round 2 of R3 Global's Got Talent...
A few words from Matt before....
...before...Rod Stewart hit the stage with his backup dancers.
Brig and Lita...
Black Diamond Group Shot...
I'll post Sunday and other random images next.
I have a fun engagement session coming up this weekend in Florida so be on the lookout for those photos coming up soon!

Although I am primarily a destination wedding and portrait photographer (my website), I also love doing corporate work on occasion. R3 Global is a company that I love shooting for - they are all just so much fun to be around.
If you are here to view my wedding or portrait work - you can view those images by choosing from the categories section above.
Last week I went down to the Marriott World Center Resort in Orlando and stayed from Wednesday until Sunday photographing R3 Global's Family Reunion event. R3 Global provides support for Monavie distributors, and they sure do know how to organize a powerful and entertaining learning experience.
In the post I will share Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday with you. I will post the activities from Saturday and Sunday next week.
Wednesday evening they held a Super Open Teaching and Training which was held in one of the smaller ballrooms.
The room was filled to capacity with people eager to know more about the business. So many things go on at these events that it would take me an eternity to tell you everything, so I just hit on some highlights.
Brig introduced a special group of new friends that he and some of the black diamonds met on their bike trip.
A few participants...
I also spent part of Wednesday photographing the set up of the BIG conference room, but you'll have to wait to see those. I will tell you that it was VERY impressive...as always.
Thursday began with a meeting of all the black diamonds. I always love the great graphic design at these events.
Of course there was plenty of Monavie to drink and healthy food.
I'm not sure what Kim was saying...but judging by the look on Linda's face...it must have been good!
Even babies love the new Monavie energy drink! :)
Don't worry...there is no caffiene, and it is healthy.
Checking out the Diamond Runner packet...
Later that evening, Brig and Lita hosted a dinner for all of the diamonds.
Everyone enjoyed hearing Mylon Lefevre speak.
Friday morning, we were excited to see Paul Meehan arrive - he rode his bike all the way from D.C. to raise money for the M.O.R.E. Project.
I love the expressions on his friends faces when he arrived!
A planning meeting for all the gold executives and above was held Friday.
Afterwards, Brig and Lita hosted a reception for the international attendees.
And then...the big event kicked off Friday evening. Everyone was excited as they waited...
Tim Gidley opened with patriotic music as all the veterans in the crowd came forward to be honored. This is always a very touching moment.
The Harts and the Merritts greeted everyone...
Brig always has great entertainment to go with the theme, and this event was no exception. The luau dancers and fire twirlers were no exception...
New diamonds were introduced. They are wearing leis because they win a free trip to Hawaii for attaining this level of success.
The crowd got to hear some of the blue and black diamonds tell how they made it happen.
It is always a pleasure to hear Dean Sikes speak.
Black diamond Todd Hartog told everyone all about the Diamond Runner packets...
Brig did something brand new at this event. He chose select R3 members and their family members to perform in the first R3's Got Talent! They all did an amazing job!
You can see a video of the song The Juice Sistahs performed here. If anyone wants to send links to any of the other performers I will post them as well.
Randy Schroeder also gave a great talk.
Brig and Steve closed up the event Friday night around midnight. Take a look at your first peek at the stage design...
I will be back next week with more photos from Orlando.
Other upcoming photography posts:
-a Florida engagement session
-a fabulous wedding at the fabulously extravagant Ocean Lodge on St. Simons Island
-lots of portrait sessions
And...in case you are interested in Peach and Love news (my other business):
Guess what? We were contacted by Southern Living Magazine last week and they are considering our fun High Cotton game to be listed in their Decemeber magazine in their gift giving guide. We are super excited so keep your fingers crossed!
