I love capturing new little lives. Newborn Photography is a passion for me and I absolutely adore my job as a photographer in Jacksonville and St Augustine FL. But, what is always wonderful....is when a few months later, a family invites me back to capture their little one as they have grown. All the changes that take place in such a short time in a little life is awesome to capture. Lifestyle Milestone portraits keep the session relaxed, allowing us to include furry sibli

It's officially Family Portrait season here in Jacksonville and St Augustine FL. What does that mean? Well, many families want their annual family photoshoot in the Fall (Granted, we live in Florida....so Fall isn't really a thing. It's Summer 2). My schedule gets filled quickly, BUT I get to meet up with many of the same families year after year to capture how big their kids have gotten and all the love and connection they have as their family grows. And I LOVE it! This

As one of many talented and awesome family photographers in Jacksonville, FL, I am honored each and every time a family chooses me to capture those moments that are most precious. Milestone's in life, froze in time to cherish forever in their family photography. This amazing family, met me early one Sunday morning for a Sunrise beach family photo session celebrating their sweet baby girl's first birthday. From their family styling to the gorgeous light that morning everythi

If you have been following me for any amount of time, you know that I love my Watch Me Grow families. You also, may have noticed I am loving Lifestyle, in home Family Portrait sessions. So, when I have an Watch Me Grow family, with a beautiful old home, who loves Lifestyle Family Photography..... I'm pretty much the happiest photographer ever. People often think of the beach or a park for their family photos or milestone sessions, BUT if you love your home, whether historic

Being a non-morning person, you wouldn't think I would love sunrises. But man I do, the sunrise we witnessed in Maine was amazing. But, before I left on that vacation, I was able to see another beautiful sunrise over the beach as I captured some First Birthday Photos for a wonderful family. I love my job. I love being able to capture Maternity Photos, Newborn Photos and of course, Family Photography in Jacksonville, FL and St Augustine, Fl. This little man and his parents

I know, I have said it SOOOO many times. But it's so true. My Watch Me Grow families are amazing and I am always a little sad when their little one turns one and our sessions are over. This sweet baby girl and her parents were amazing and SO much fun! Sara was always full of ideas and it cracked me up when she would have props at our sessions to use, that always turned out AMAZING! Miss Willa-Grace was a doll from birth and every session made me smile. Even now, just thinki

Summer always tends to lead us towards beautiful sunrises. Even though it means really early mornings in the summer, I never regret watching a beautiful sunrise (I did get up at 4:15a to make sure I saw all of the sunrise in Maine, so I'm committed, lol). This wonderful family made a weekend of it, coming in from out of town for their beautiful sunrise session. It was worth it completely though! So, make Monday a little better with some beauty and favorites from these sunri

When you can beat the heat and meet an adorably cute little man, I'd say these Summer Family Portraits were a success! This sweet family met me at one of my favorite parks for Petite Family Portrait sessions. The colors mom choose were perfect and their little man could not have been cuter!!!! It's wonderful to meet new families, laugh, photography chubby hands and feet and call all of it "work". Being a Family Photographer in Jacksonville is pretty amazing. So, stay cool

Summer is here and beach sessions abound. A couple weeks ago, I was able to do my Annual Beach Mini Event with some awesome families. I love beach portraits.....heck, I love the beach. Hearing it, watching it, all of it. I love these minis every year and meeting new families or capturing another milestone for returning families make them even better. So, stay cool this Wednesday, get your relax on before tomorrow's Holiday and check out some of my favorites from these Beac

It's Beach Season. Beach days, beach nights. Whether just on vacation or living a vacation everyday, the beach is where to be in the summer. Being a Family Photographer in St Augustine and Jacksonville FL I often get to see families year after year. But it's always special when a family on vacation contacts me for beach family portraits. This wonderful family had a vacation week in St Augustine Beach, FL and we missed the rain and were able to capture some beautiful images

It's not secret I love my Watch Me Grow families. Being able to capture so much of a little one's first year. From Maternity Portraits, Newborn Portraits, then Milestone sessions leading up to their First Birthday, I feel blessed each time a family chooses me to be apart of this journey. These memories as their little one grows and changes so much in that first year. With this amazing family, this was the third baby I got to watch grow. Our third Maternity session, third Ne

It's no secret I simply LOVE my Watch ME Grow clients. Also no secret, my love for the beach. So, when we are planning a First Birthday session for one of my amazing families, and they are up for the beach, I am one happy photographer. This beach location is one of my favorites and Brandi did amazing at coordinating what her family wore. All of it worked together beautifully to make a perfect sunset beach family photos near Jacksonville, FL. Happy Monday! Melody

It has been amazing lately with all the gorgeous beach sunrises I have gotten to photograph in Ponte Vedra Beach near Jacksonville, FL. I may not be a morning person, I love a good sunrise, and a good beach sunrise is even better. Add in an adorable baby girl and her family, you have the makings for a perfect start to my day. As a family photographer near Jacksonville FL I have been blessed to meet so many wonderful families. When I first met this little miss and all the s

Family Portraits SHOULD BE FUN. There should be laughter, play, tickles, cuddles and games. Families should be photographed having fun together. Loving each other. Because that is WHO our families are. We play. We have fun. We Love. So, anytime a client has a specific idea for fun portraits I do my best to help them make it happen. When meeting up with a Watch Me Grow family for these portraits are even better. All along, Sara has told me her ideas for fun portraits. She

It's not secret my baby plan families always end up having a special place in my heart. Each session from this sweet little guy's Watch Me Grow session has been a session I LOVED! His parents always seem to just overflow with love for each other and their baby boy and its makes these sessions everything I dream of. From the moment I walked into their home for his newborn session I loved their old Victorian. So, when Meghan suggested we do the 4 month session at home, I kne

Being able to capture so many special moments for a family over Baby's First year is an incredible thing. Being able to capture the growth and changes of your family in front of your front door is one way to document the changes of each stage of life. Lifestyle sessions are amazing for this it's true. This happy girl was amazing for her 6 month Milestone session, giving me lots of smiles. This sweet girl has grown so much and has all the baby chunk that always makes me smi

I know, Monday's are usually for maternity Monday, but today it's all about Family. Capturing milestones throughout our children's lives. Having Family Portraits done for the first time. Or the first time in a long time. As a Family Photographer in Jacksonville, FL I am blessed to meet many wonderful families. All too often, the mom will say to me, "We have never had family portraits", or "we haven't had family photos since my baby was a baby" and said "baby" is now a teen.

I know, I have said it before.... and I say it alot....BUT, it's SO true. My Watch Me Grow families are amazing. Being able to capture all the milestone's of a Baby's First Year is amazing. AND...St Augustine, FL is amazing. Not sure if I have said that last one before, but I do love that city. So, anytime clients want a St Augustine portrait session I am 100% in! I got to catch up with this wonderful family to capture Mr. K's 8 Month session and it couldn't have been mo

It's not secret I love my Watch Me Grow families. And though Monday's are usually for Maternity portraits, I have had a few Milestone and Newborn sessions recently that I need to share! This is my 3rd baby boy with this wonderful family. I cannot explain the honor I feel that they have trusted me every time in capturing the first year of their little loves. I send all my families a questionnaire so I can get to know them better. Which often helps me suggest locations for t

Watching sweet little lives grow throughout their first year, and even year after year as they become little people is pretty amazing. Definately a perk of being a Jacksonville Beach Family Photographer in Jacksonville and St Augustine. But, being able to capture my family as they grow....even better. This sweet girl is my youngest niece. An absolute doll, who may be the happiest baby ever. And you can't help but love her. So, make this Wednesday a bit better with some fav
