Portrait Party-Jacksonville Family Photographer

One of the most rewarding things I do as a photographer is giving a confidence boost to women...that's what my portrait parties are all about. Making you look as good as you feel. None of us love having our picture taken and the majority of the time we are only concentrating on our kid's pictures...so taking 15 min of your time to focus on you is OK!!!! My dear friend Heather had a private portrait party for her friends this weekend and we had so much fun. Thank you ladies...for trusting me, for focusing on yourselves and being the beautiful ladies you are!!! Here are a few of the shots from the party...

Happy Little Man-Jacksonville Family Photographer

After a few re-schedules due to weather, sickness & last minute family obligations I was finally able to photograph this adorable family!!! We had, as I like to refer to it, a photographer's tri-fecta...perfect weather, beautiful family and amazing location. It was a dream session for me...seriously, how cute are these kiddos??? It was little Mr. E's 8 month session and boy oh boy, he's already a charmer. We sang If You're Happy and You Know it (one of my favorites) and he would clap right along...yep, melted my heart right then. He also had his first opportunity to feel grass under him. I must say, it was so adorable as he felt it and studied it trying to determine if he liked it or not...let's just say, grass takes some time to get used to :) To the H Family...thank you so much & I hope you enjoy the sneak peek!

Hot Baby Mama-Jacksonville Maternity Photographer

I love it when a plan comes together!!! I was sooo excited when the super fabulous Jill contacted me about her maternity shoot. After a short meeting about the feeling we wanted to capture in her session, we set about it! And, boy oh boy...is she one beautiful prego!!! I simply can not wait to meet your little one in a few weeks...no doubt she will be stunning like her Mom!

Mr. L is 9 months!-Jacksonville Family Photographer

Seriously...time flies!!! I can't believe how fast these babies grow! I love seeing the changes in them...new teeth, getting their balance and a whole lot easier to make smile, lol! Check out this handsome little man...Mr. L is 9 months old!

Daddy's girls-Jacksonville Family Photographer

I was so fortunate to photograph one of my dearest friends and her beautiful family last week. Aren't they just two of the most precious little girls you have ever seen, who have Daddy completely wrapped around their little fingers...as it should be!!! We took over the San Marco area and had a blast doing it. I hope you guys enjoy a little sneak peek of your cutie pies!!!

Zoe at 8 months-Jacksonville Family Photographer

The girl is going to bypass crawling and go straight for walking!!! Last month she wanted to stand up and hold on to things, this month she stands all by herself and if you hold her hand, she will just start walking and not stop!!! And she was kind enough to let me grab one photo of her new little tooth :) Here are a few from Miss Zoe's 8 month session, enjoy the cuteness!

The Joy of Love Day 15-Jacksonville Family Photographer

Mike was unavailable for today's post so my sister was kind enough to help me out and take this photo for me...which I love, love, love!

Day 15: Kiss...photograph you and and your loved ones sharing a smooch.

The Joy of Love Day 14-Jacksonville Family Photographer

Happy Valentines Day!!! The kids and I had a lot of fun working on Valentines Day gifts for their teachers and friends this weekend!

Bella picked a really cool project we found here. What kid won't love a scratch off valentine???




We found the teacher's gift idea here. Fortune cookies dipped in chocolate...yum-o!



For our special celebration today, I picked the kids up after school and surprised them with a trip to the movies to see Gnomeo and Juliet...then we ate Papa Johns Pizza, Red Velvet cake and sparkling grape juice by the fire...then finished it up with a Wii bowling competition...a perfect Valentines Day with the whole family.



Day 14: Wedding Band...photograph your wedding bands.
