Fun in the Sun-Jacksonville Family Photographer

Springtime sunrise at the beach...yes, yes and yes! Living in Florida has so many perks but being able to have sessions with families at the beach is one of the biggest! We celebrated Miss A's 6 month birthday with a little session at the beautiful Jacksonville Beach early Saturday morning. The weather was perfect and the family was fabulous! Happy 1/2 birthday Miss A!!!

Baby Love-Jacksonville Newborn Photographer

I honestly feel it is such a privilege for me to be chosen to do newborn photographs. I mean, it's the pictures that will be referenced throughout this baby's whole life, his introduction! I can't thank the families that choose me enough, I hope that I can capture all of the innocence and sweetness that your baby is. And on that note...Ready for some serious cuteness???

Sweetness-Jacksonville Family Photographer

I had another first birthday shoot this week for the sweetest little girl! We started out in the studio to recreate a photo her big sister had done when she was the same age...I love this idea!!! Then, despite WINDY conditions, we headed out to one of my favorite spots, Epping Forrest. Big Sis, Mom and her Gaga joined us but she really stole the show with all of her sweet cuteness. Happy First Birthday Miss A! Here are a few from our session:

Party of 5-Jacksonville Family Photographer

I was lucky enough to meet the J family through one of my portrait parties a while back but we were waiting for family pictures until we could take advantage of the beautiful weather. And right now, that is exactly what we are having here in Florida!!! We headed out to Alpine Grove Park this weekend and I couldn't help but enjoy hanging out with this family...they are laid back, love to laugh and clearly love each other! Enjoy your sneak peek:

Birthday Girl-Jacksonville Family Photographer

I knew the session was going to be a good one when I walked up to meet Miss J for the first time and she came right to me and gave me a big hug!!! Miss J just celebrated her first birthday so we headed to Hanna Park for a few pictures so Mom and Dad can remember this moment forever. I promise these pictures will put a smile on your face :) Hope you enjoy your sneak peek:

everyday life-Jacksonville Family Photographer

I was walking into the kitchen this afternoon to make myself a snack...this is what was happening quietly in the kitchen. She didn't pay any attention to me. As I started to spread the peanut butter over a rice cake I looked over and watched her for a little bit. She was perfectly content...perfectly age 7. I put the knife down, grabbed my camera and started shooting. This is what my everyday life looks like....and I love my life.

P.S. She was listening to Bon Jovi's greatest hits.

You make 3 look good! - Jacksonville Family Photographer

I was so excited about my session with Mr. M this week! I love his energy and his fun personality...it's not work when you are having fun, right? We met at the park and hunted panda bears, you know...cause that's what 3 year olds can do. Happy Birthday little man, I had a blast!

Walk in the Park-Jacksonville Family Photographer

I was introduced to this amazing family through the Christ Starfish Foundation. They were the winning bidders on a session I gave to the annual auction this foundation uses to help raise money. The Christ Starfish Foundation works with children confined to local children’s hospitals by providing assistance to them through the child life specialists. They also assist families of non-cancer patients who are experiencing financial hardships due to their child’s illness. Their annual auction is coming up again, so please stop by their web site for all of the details!

We had our session at a local park and the weather was just perfect! The twins had such different personalities and big sis was so helpful...it was so sweet to watch! Hope you enjoy your sneak peek!
