But now without further ado, here is Jessica…
I am very proud to say that I am a rare, but true Floridian. I was born in Fort Lauderdale and shortly after moved to central Florida where my parents found a house and decided to settle down in a little town called Sanford!
As I think back on my younger years I am flooded with many wonderful memories; hanging out in the back of my Dad’s truck with a blanket and pillow as we all snuggled up to watch a movie at the drive-in (somebody please re-open one!!!!!!!!!), visiting all of the playful animals at the Sanford Zoo, loading up the car and heading to downtown Sanford to pick out the perfect spot on 4th of July to watch the fireworks, dancing my tap routine in the Sanford Parade, so many wonderful memories have taken place in our cute little town of Sanford and I continue to make more.
I love all of the unique stores and restaurants Downtown Sanford has to offer, I enjoy going to the Wayne Densch theatre to watch the many talented performers and let’s not forget the fun filled Love Your Shorts Film Festival, I love to walk the strip at Christmas time as the streets are filled beautiful white Christmas lights, but what I love most of all is strapping my camera around my neck and finding the perfect photo spots.
Jessica’s Tips for Taking a Great Picture in Sanford FL
Downtown Sanford is definitely one of my favorite spots to shoot; with all the fun shops, beautiful landscape and those historic buildings with their worn out paint and alluring textures! If you’re looking for the perfect photo spot step out of the norm and step into creative and adventurous. Get out of your car a take a walk look for texture and color. An old house with a porch gives you a fun environment, an old building with paint chips or brick walls gives you great texture and a field of flowers gives you beautiful color. Don’t be afraid to explore, Sanford has lots of exciting places so be sure to step outside and who knows I could be coming to you for that perfect little spot you’ve found.
