Hi Everyone!
&nbsp;
I know it's been way too long since I've written a blog post and updated you guys so here we go!
Shelton and I moved to Dover, Delaware a little over 3 months ago, and are so happy to be on the coast again! We loved our time at Laughlin AFB but are excited for this next chapter with Shelton being a Logistics Readiness Officer
here at Dover AFB.
&nbsp;
So far, life here as been pretty calm and we've somewhat adjusted to the cold weather! hehe
I've applied for my LLC (thankfully, Delaware is one of the easiest states to do that in since there's no sales tax) and I am really looking forward to all of the sessions I'll get to shoot here. There are so many different locations to choose from for a photo session here and so much I haven't seen yet! I've been really inspired by Cape Henlopen State Park and Brecknock County Park recently, they are absolutely beautiful with really nice trails to walk (or bike). The weather is pretty chilly right now so not many people are eager to do an outdoor photo session but when the weather warms up you better believe I'm going to be all over this state with my camera!
&nbsp;
One of the perks to living in Delaware is being within driving distance to some cool places like D.C., Philadelphia, and New York, so we like taking short trips on the weekend. If anyone in New York wants to do a couples photo session, please reach out, I would love to do a shoot there!
&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Thank you all for following along on this journey!
&nbsp;

Moving My Photography Business to Dover, Delaware as an Air Force wife

It doesn't often snow in Delaware, so when it does I take full advantage of it! My sister-in-law happened to be visiting us along with her German Shepherd so of course we had to include him in the photos as well. :)
&nbsp;
I'm a Florida girl, so I don't enjoy cold weather. But there's something about the snow that just makes it worth all the cold.

Snowy Photo Session in Dover, Delaware

When Karla first reached out to me a couple months ago, asking about the possibility of doing a family session with their baby boy, I was ecstatic! I always love photographing new parents, there's just something about the joy on their faces as they look down at their new little one. Lake Amistad seems to be my go to place for photo sessions, but this was the first time I chose this specific location (with the help of Shelton as my test subject for the lighting) and I could not be happier with how the photos turned out! This sweet little family was so easy to photograph because of the natural, loving dynamic that they already have together!

Dear Gabriel + Karla,
&zwj;
Thank you so much for the opportunity to capture these precious memories for your family! The three of you are so much fun and I hope you are in love with your photos as much as I am! You guys really made this one of my favorite sessions :)
&zwj;
With Love,
&zwj;

Family Photo Session at Lake Amistad, Del Rio, TX

This day started out with me praying that the forecasted rain would hold off until later in the afternoon so we could have a successful fini flight! If you know anything about Del Rio, Texas, you know thunderstorms are a rare and precious gift, but I just didn't want that gift to arrive yet! We felt a few drops on our way to the flight line (perk of living on base, we were within walking distance) but thankfully the rain waited for the fini flight to end!

Now I didn't know what a fini flight was until just a few months ago so I'll give you a brief explanation. A fini flight, or final flight, is a tradition that marks the last time a pilot or crew member flies in a certain aircraft and/or their last time flying with a particular unit. This tradition started all the way back during World War II when pilots in the Army Air Corps returned from their final combat mission. The fini flight continued to make it's mark in history during the Vietnam War when pilots commemorated their 100th flight. Arguably one of the best traditions within the fini flight is getting sprayed with the water hose after you land!

I've always loved documentary style photography, so naturally getting to photograph this fini flight is one of the highlights of my career! Every time I pick up my camera, I learn something new. That's one of the best parts of being a photographer, the constant growth that occurs when you love what you do, and you allow yourself to get out of your comfort zone and photograph new things!

Dear Kaitlin and Kyle,
&nbsp;
You guys truly were a dream to work with! From your obvious love for each other, to your beautiful smiles, you were one of the easiest couples to photograph. I couldn't help but share in your excitement during this amazing celebration! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for allowing me to be a part of your special day; I will never forget it! I wish you both all the best in this new chapter of your lives!
&nbsp;
With Love,

Fini Flight Photo Session at Laughlin Air Force Base, Del Rio, Texas

WOW... I am so in love with my job!!!
&nbsp;
Not only do I get to meet and photograph the sweetest people on the planet, but one of my absolute favorite parts of being a photographer is that I get to shoot at some pretty awesome locations, in this case, an Air Force hangar right on the flight line! I never imagined I would get to do something this cool as a photographer and I LOVE IT!
&nbsp;
Danielle reached out to me and asked if I would be willing to take some photos for her family with the T-1A to capture this part of their Air Force journey. Of course I couldn't pass up this opportunity. After all, it isn't every day you get to take pictures in a hangar on an Air Force base!
&nbsp;
The Allen's session went so well! You could just see how much this family loved being together and getting to photograph them really made my day! The two sweet little children behaved like angels (which for a family session is always a win) and they even brought a friend to help keep the kids's attention and excitement up during the shoot... Such a great idea!
&nbsp;
Although their family has been here at Laughlin Air Force Base for a short time and will be leaving soon, it's so special that they wanted a photoshoot to remember this stage of their lives. It truly was an honor for me to be a part of it!
&zwj;
Dear Allen Family,
&nbsp;
I cannot begin to thank you guys enough for this fun session! I loved listening as you shared about your journey that brought you here to Del Rio, TX, and I especially enjoyed photographing the love your family shares in this stage of life that you are in. Wishing you all the best on the future travels and endeavors that await you!
&nbsp;
With Love,
Seraiah Roslin

Family Photo Session in a Hangar at Laughlin Air Force Base, Del Rio, Texas

I 10/10 recommend getting professional pictures taken of you and your spouse on your honeymoon/vacation!
&nbsp;
Yes, I packed my camera and tripod so Shelton and I could get some cute pictures together on our trip to St. Lucia (which was absolutely amazing btw)! Getting a romantic couples photo session while you're on vacation should definitely be a common practice-- you get such a different turnout in the aesthetic of your photos than your everyday photoshoot!
&nbsp;
Shelton and I really loved taking these photos, despite the heat causing sweat to drip down our backs. haha
Traveling with my hubs was a bonding experience for both of us and we are so grateful we have these pictures to remember our special time together on this trip.
&nbsp;
If you are looking for a photographer to travel with you to capture special memories from your vacation, feel free to reach out to me!
&zwj;
Until Next Time,
Seraiah Roslin

Sugar Beach, St. Lucia Vacation

What a beautiful session this was! The University of South Florida is gorgeous at all times of day, but there is something about golden hour that just transforms it into such a calm and peaceful place, unless you're waiting until graduation week to get your pictures taken, then it's a chaotic frenzy of photographers and graduates trying to get their pictures taken in all the right spots! We definitely had to do some quick thinking as lines start forming behind you to get photos in the spot you're in! Although we were slightly rushed, I made sure Delaney had all the pictures that she wanted plus many more. She was so amazing and didn't hesitate to try whatever I threw at her!

University of South Florida Graduation Session

This photoshoot was so special and fun because it was a couples graduation session (my first of many I hope). Andrea and JR never fail to impress me with how comfortable they are behind the camera! They come up with so many poses on the fly-- it's so much fun!
&nbsp;

I feel so honored to have had the chance to photograph this graduation milestone of Andrea and JR. What I absolutely love about this couple is that they literally pose themselves! Don't get me wrong, I always enjoy coming up with fun poses for my couples, but this was a nice change :) They really are some of the most photogenic people I know and were great at bouncing off each other's poses.
&nbsp;
My advice for anyone wanting grad photos on campus, is to get a head start if possible so the lines to "sit on the bull" aren't crazy long! haha
&nbsp;
The University of South Florida really is a beautiful campus and there are a lot of places to be creative with your photography. This was my first senior session on USF, and I know good photographers scout the area prior to shooting there, but I was trusting Shelton when he said the campus has a ton of great spots and I&nbsp;am so glad he was correct! I highly recommend getting at least a few of your senior pictures on your campus!
&zwj;
&zwj;
Until Next Time,

University of South Florida Couples Graduation Session

Shelton and I always have so much fun taking pictures together, so we decided to go on our first photoshoot since our wedding! Lake Mirror Park is fairly close to our home and it's one of my favorite photoshoot locations! The gardens are stunning all year round and it's a beautiful walk around the lake as well. I love the genuine smiles you can't help but have when it's just you and your man spending time together.

<figure class="w-richtext-align-center w-richtext-figure-type-image">
<figcaption>I always try to get my couples to interact together to create a more natural and genuine photo! </figcaption>
</figure>
We had a blast coming up with different poses, it's always a fun challenge for us and never fails to make us laugh!
We also love to take Chuck (our adorable German Shepherd puppy) for walks, and it's good for him to get accustomed to seeing new people when we're out. This was a great opportunity not only for that, but also for some cute photos with him. :)

<figure class="w-richtext-align-center w-richtext-figure-type-image">
<figcaption>I mean, look at this cutie! </figcaption>
</figure>
I didn't put many of these pictures in black and white, but they made it in the blog! I like to put images into b&amp;w only in the most genuine and real moments to show the emotion of the photograph.
We had such an amazing afternoon together, and I can't wait to display these precious photos in my home.
&zwj;
Until next time,
Seraiah Roslin

Lake Mirror Park Couples Session

Hello, my name is Seraiah Roslin!
&nbsp;
I am a Travel + Lifestyle photographer based in Tampa, Florida!
&nbsp;
My photography career started when I was in high school, I won an essay competition and my prize was a Nikon d3400. Since that moment, I&rsquo;ve absolutely fallen in love with photography and am really proud to be able to call my craft my career. My first real photoshoot was for my husband and his family long before we were married.
&zwj;
I love naturally lighting and utilizing elements of the outdoors to capture my clients in unique ways. For that reason I try and get my clients in the outdoors for our shoots because you can't beat the soft hues of a sunrise or the warm glow of a sunset. Nature is my backdrop and I love being out in it!

Hi! I'm Seraiah Roslin!

“My husband and I love the work Seraiah Roslin does! We have had several photography sessions with her, including her taking our engagement pictures and wedding photos. She is fun and easygoing during shoots and her work is amazing! It is easy to tell that she has a passion for photography! We will definitely be using her again!”

Kidron + Simon

"Seraiah was great! She is very patient and a joy to work with. We took couples photos around sunset and she knew exactly how to capture the aesthetic that we were looking for. The photos came out beautifully and the edits were wonderful! Definitely recommend!”
