The Life of Marta // Tallahassee Magazine
The Life of Marta // Tallahassee Magazine
It’s not everyday I get asked to photograph someone who doesn’t have much time to live. In the fall of last year, we partnered with Rowland Publishing on a project. I had the opportunity to spend an afternoon with Marta while she was in her final weeks of life at Big Bend Hospice. She shared her story of fleeing Communist Cuba and making a new life here in the United States. Her smile lit up the room and her joy was contagious. It’s interesting how today, contagious seems like such a bad word. There are so many things that can be contagious and not necessarily in a bad way. How can we be joyful and how can that joy be contagious to those around us?

Goals matter. The first of year brings out thoughts of personal and professional goals. One of my goals was to capture an image for the cover of a magazine. I didn’t have a particular subject or publication in mind, but I wanted something that would challenge me to think of “the shot” instead of the entire photoshoot. I had the opportunity to take portraits of US District Attorney Keefe and I was so excited when it became the cover of an issue of 850 Business Magazine.

Florida's First Family // Tallahassee Magazine
The Workmans photographed Florida's First Family at the Governor's Mansion for Tallahassee Magazine's May/June 2019 feature, capturing portraits and candid family moments.
Florida's First Family // Tallahassee Magazine
Tallahassee Magazine assigned us to photograph their First Family feature for the May/June 2019 issue, and it remains one of the most memorable editorial assignments we've done. The assignment was to capture photos of Gov. Ron DeSantis and first lady Casey DeSantis with their two young children at the Governor's Mansion for a story written by Pete Reinwald. As Tallahassee photographers, we've worked in a lot of historic spaces around the capital city, but the Governor's Mansion presented a unique combination of challenges: priceless interiors, tight security coordination, and two toddlers who had their own plans for the afternoon.
The Governor's Mansion is a photographer's dream and a photographer's puzzle at the same time. The rooms are full of rich wood, historic artifacts, and carefully curated details that previous families have added over the decades. But those same elements create tricky lighting situations. We brought Profoto lighting to give us control in the interior spaces while keeping the look natural and warm. The goal was to make the images feel relaxed and lived-in, not stiff or overly produced. When you're photographing a family with a 2-year-old and a 1-year-old, there's no such thing as a perfectly controlled frame, and that's actually what makes the pictures work.
Some of our favorite moments from the session happened on the patio, where the family gathered after the interview. The kids were exploring, grabbing oranges, doing what kids do. That's where the real personality came through. We kept our Canon lenses long enough to give the family some breathing room while staying close enough to catch the candid interactions. Editorial photography like this lives in the in-between moments; not the posed portrait, but the glance, the laugh, the toddler reaching for something she shouldn't.
Photographing inside a working governor's residence means coordinating with security teams, working within specific time windows, and being respectful of the space. As editorial photographers in Florida, we've developed a workflow for high-profile sessions in sensitive locations. You come prepared, you work efficiently, and you stay flexible when a toddler decides the session is over before you do.
This feature was photographed by The Workmans for Tallahassee Magazine and appeared in the May/June 2019 issue and was written by Pete Reinwald. The Workmans are a husband-and-wife photography team based in Tallahassee, Florida, and we work with publications across the state of Florida, in Washington D.C. and around the United States.

Dailey Life // Tallahassee Magazine
On May 2nd, 2019, I spend a little more than half a day with Tallahassee Mayor John Dailey. We meet at the Tallahassee Police Department Headquarters, for a memorial service. Then, I rode with him to the Tallahassee School of Math and Science where he read a few books and had a Fortnite Dance Competition with a class of kindergarteners. We drove the city, talking about growth, development and preservation of the history in our community. Next stop was the Leadership Tallahassee Class 36 graduation and finally to the Bond neighborhood. And that was all before 1:15pm… We partnered with Rowland Publishing to share the story of Tallahassee’s new mayor in Tallahassee Magazine.

Domi Station was one of the places where we first found community when we moved to Tallahassee. Executive Director Lucas Lindsey, Community Manager Sabrina Torres and Director of Incubator Programs Dominick Ard’is have become like family to us. When we got asked to capture people that mean so much to us in a place that means so much to us, we didn’t hesitate. We were honored to partner with Thomasville Center for the Arts to share the story of Domi Station in THOM Magazine.
Portrait Of A Refugee // Professional Photographer Magazine
Portrait Of A Refugee // Professional Photographer Magazine
Often times, our love for the masses hampers our love for the individual. This was the thought that kept going through my (Alex) mind as I keep meeting people in our community who fled for their lives and now call Tallahassee home. At the same time, refugees seem to be a political pawn for both parties, but these are real people who are now our neighbors and we wanted to showcase that. In the spring of 2017, a project called Refugees of TLH was born. We were honored that Professional Photographers of America wanted to share the story of the project in Professional Photographer Magazine.
