welcome to our blog!

Thanks for stopping by! We're Ben and Amy Starks (that's us in the photo to your left :)).


Our blog serves as our online diary. Here, you will find lots of eye candy, stories about our photography experiences, and other random tidbits about our quirky life together.


Feedback makes us super happy, so feel free to leave some! And if you have a few minutes, check out our site!

I'm condensing today. 3 sessions into one, massive, photo-packed post. This way, I'll get all of these sneak peeks up for our clients to see, and I won't seem overwhelmingly redundant on Facebook and Twitter (Check out our blog! New post up! *5 seconds later* Check out our blog! New post up!).

Plus, I'm about to go to the gym, and I have a limit on how long I can be wearing athletic attire without actually doing any sort of physical activity. It's a very small window. If I wait too long, all hope is lost and I will submit to watching Law & Order: SVU in workout clothing.

So without further adieu...

Up first is Michael.

He's a Senior at Mariner High School in Ft. Myers, and played football for their team.

We are really close to his family (his dad, Jeff, married us!) - they're awesome.

Michael has been through a lot of challenges at his young age, but he has a bright, incredible future ahead of him and we are excited to see what's in store for him after graduation!

The next two sessions are from Love Through the Lens. I know I've said it a thousand times, but I'm so glad that we are able to do this. It's given us a chance to meet some amazing people, and give back to a truly fantastic cause. If this is your first time hearing about LTTL, check out the blog post here for more details. :)

Meet Kendall, Cody, and Brooke. Brooke and Cody are twins, and Kendall is the oldest. Cody wasn't as thrilled to be in the photos as the girls, but he was a good sport. :)

This was our second sister session, and I'm absolutely in love with this type of shoot. Probably because I have a fabulous sister of my own (hi Callie! :)), but there's something about photographing the bond between sisters that makes me super happy.

Gorgeous!

MGA_blog6.jpg
LOVE this. And I feel like it says so much about their relationship! :)

And last, but certainly not least, is Ashley. Well, a portion of her, at least. ;)

MGA_blog9.jpg
Since Ashley has a modeling background, she was incredibly easy to photograph. I also adored the fact that she brought so much to the shoot to showcase the football-loving side of her personality (future clients - take note! :)).

MGA_blog10.jpg
She's truly just as sweet and fun to be around as she is beautiful! :)

MGA_blog11.jpg
I couldn't decide between this one and the last one, so posting both seemed like the best option. :)

We had such a blast at all three of these sessions - thanks to all of you guys for hanging out in front of our cameras! :)

(*We have 2 LTTL shoots left - they are for January 30th in Ft. Myers, FL. If you are interested, shoot me an e-mail! :))
