Fresh 48 & Newborn Photographer to Capture those first details
Without a doubt, my love for Fresh 48 sessions grows each time I am lucky enough to do one. In 2018, I was able to capture five Fresh 48 sessions. I loved them all, but was sad more families didn't want these memories from those first days of life. But so far, in 2019 I have been able to meet 4 new little lives and have 3 more in July, and 2 in August which basically is complete awesome-sauce!!!

Fresh 48 Photos that Capture the Beauty of those first hours
I have always loved Fresh 48 Portrait Sessions. Something about seeing a new little life. A BRAND new little life. Capturing those moments, those details that we forget in our sleep deprived state those first few days. Last year, not many people request Fresh 48 sessions, but this year. This year, I am lucky enough to be able to meet so many new little babes this way. Capture all the love, joy, exhaustion and just the tiny moments before they quickly pass. With a new littl

Lifestyle Newborn Portraits all from the comfort of home
It's no secret capturing sweet little lives when they are so new. In their home, surrounded by their family who loves them (and even the furry siblings), is one of my favorite things ever. This gorgeous in home Newborn Portrait session was everything. From momma's dress to the little faces this sweet baby girl made. Her furry brothers who made appearances and even dad in uniform. Everything about this session I loved. So, be ready, as there are more images to share as I ha

Just What is Lifestyle Newborn Photography Anyway?
I realized the other day as I was searching the internet and social media for a possible mentor or workshop to help me better myself for my Lifestyle Newborn portraits that I love so much, that there just isn't a lot out there. And what I mean by that, is there are not a lot of photographers who DO this kind of Newborn Photography right now and may be wondering, "what is Lifestyle Newborn Photography anyway?". Newborn Photography as a whole is a relative new genre. It didn'

Capturing sweet little lives will never get old. NEVER. I am blessed so many families allow me into their homes to photograph their newest addition.

Jacksonville FL Newborn Photographer
My first blog post of 2019! It's still kinda crazy to think it's already 2019. I mean, where are the flying cars and the robots to do all my housework for me? The Jetson's lied to me. BUT, what better way to kickstart a New Year then with a new little life? Meghan's maternity session was simply gorgeous in downtown Jacksonville, FL. (click on an image to see it entirely) So, of course, I knew the newborn session would be beautiful. And it did not disappoint. The nursery,

Newborn Photos at Home near Jacksonville, FL
What can make a rainy Friday better? Newborn sweetness. Truly, if you have been around a new baby, you know they can make every day sweeter (even when they don't let you sleep which is crazy). So fresh, so tiny, so full of possibilities, these new little lives are each amazing. Capturing Lifestyle Newborn Portraits (the fancy term for newborn photos at home) is one of my favorite things. Truly, how can it not be when I get to cuddle a newborn, giggle with a big sister and

Capture Those Moments in a Lifestyle Newborn Photography session
It's no secret...I love my job. I love capturing a family's love during Family Portrait sessions.

See all the faces, sleepy smiles, the pure love their family feels. I get to capture it all. This precious little one was no different. I was lucky enough to capture her Fresh 48

Lifestyle Newborn Photography Done in Home
One of the best parts of my job, and the part most women are jealous of, is that I get to meet, snuggle and capture sweet Newborn babes shortly after their debut into the world. I am blessed to welcomed into homes, allowed to capture the joy, love and all that surround welcoming a new baby. Nursery details, new parents, I love it all. I have been lucky with being able to meet a new little life almost every week, and even though he may have kept his parents up all night the

On this maternity monday(I am determined to make that a thing, lol), I shared a beautiful Maternity blog post .
