It's Beginning to Look Alot Like Christmas | Jacksonville FL Family Photography | St Augustine F
On this Christmas Eve, Eve....it's only right I make my blog post all about Christmas. Or at least all the Christmas feels. So, as you take a break from gift wrapping, shopping or just a break from all the people at your house, why not look back at some of my Favorites from this year's Red Truck Mini session event at Chandler Oaks Barn in St Augustine, FL. I LOVE how these turned out and already have many people asking about a spot for next year. I wish each and every one of

Family Photos | Jacksonville FL Family Photography | Fall Family Photos
I was lucky enough to be able to squeeze in a day to drive back to my old town to capture some wonderful families who I have been lucky enough to photograph for years! As a family photographer, Fall is by far my busiest season. It's that time when everyone wants a Family Photoshoot and I truly do my best to fit everyone in. By the end of the season I am tired for sure, but I always feel blessed that this is the gift God gave me and I can use it to bless so many families by ca

Family Photography | Jacksonville FL Family Photographer | The Moore Family
I know, I know. I say it alot. But it's SO true. It means so much to me when clients come back year after year. Especially, when adding a new addition to their family. As a family photographer, there is no greater compliment. This wonderful family I actually met years ago when Kristyn was my daughter's 2nd grade teacher. After we moved to Jacksonville, FL it was pretty funny to find out she and her family were moving not too far from us! Though we had to change locations, and

Growing and Growing | Jacksonville Family Photographer | Family Photography
How is it December??? Even though I am SO ready for Christmas, family time, and all the lights and movies (who's kidding I've been watching the movies since Halloween).. I still can't believe it's here. In the northern states, Family Portrait season ends in early November. But here in Florida, we are still in full swing! I'm behind on blogging of course, but I still want to share all of my amazing families and their Family Photos here in Jacksonville, FL. I actually met this

Why even have Family Photos? | Family Photography | Jacksonville Family Photographer
Family Portrait Season, as photographers call it, can be crazy. Busy, long hours of editing, but all 100% WORTH IT. Why? Because I am able to capture memories for my clients. See, I don't want to just get you the "everyone smile for the Christmas card" shot. I want to capture YOUR family. The love you have for one another. The way your little one's nose crinkles when they laugh, how much your oldes has grown since last year, maybe even the new braces that this season has brou

Watch Me Grow | Family Photography | Jacksonville Family Photographer
Each time I realize I need to set up the next Milestone photography session for one of my Watch Me Grow families I am shocked at how fast time flew by. When it is time to do the Family Photography session, I get excited to see how that sweet babe has grown. New abilities, personalities, all of it. Like with a family member you only see every so often. And in many ways, that's how I see my Watch Me Grow clients...as family. This special family I met when we capture the first y

Only Little for a Little While | Family Photography | Jacksonville Fl Family Photographer
One of the best parts of Family Portrait season is being able to catch up with some of my Newborn clients and see just how big, their little one has grown. It's always crazy to me how fast time goes by. And I absolutely love being able to capture the changes and love in my Family Photography. So, stay warm and check out a few of my favorites (and, some Flash backs for this Friday) from a recent Family Photoshoot in Jacksonville, FL. Happy Friday! Melody And now, for a little

Big Talbot Island Boneyard Beach | Jacksonville FL Family Photographer
It's cooler in the Jacksonville and Saint Augustine FL area FINALLY!!!! I could happy dance all day to Christmas music, but first let me make today even better by sharing even more of my favorites from this gorgeous Family Photography session at Big Pine on Big Talbot Island.

Watch Me Grow | 4 Months of Love | Jacksonville FL Family Photographer
It's no secret I love my Watch Me Grow families. Being able to see little ones grow and change over their first year. Even being able to see how their older siblings grow is basically, amazing. Being a Baby Photographer and Family Photographer in Jacksonville and St Augustine Fl is pretty much awesome. And these sweet girls prove that even more. Miss M has been the sweetest every session since we met at her Fresh 48 Portrait session. Her big sister, has been a rockstar since

Best of 2018| A Look Back on 2018 | Family Photographer Jacksonville FL
I can't believe it is the last day of 2018. How fast thie year has gone by is crazy to me. Janaury started with my doubting everything and not sure if this photography thing was going to work out.

Who have allowed to capture some of the most special moments in their lives. So, I just wanted to share a few of my favorites from this year, and since

Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas | Baby's First Christmas | Family Photographer Jacksonvil
I love all things Christmas. Christmas Movies (traditional and Hallmark of course). Christmas Songs (I have a little Buble Christmas on now) and of course the lights and decorations. And of course, I love Christmas Family Portraits. The rain stopped last Saturday in time for me to meet up with this sweet family and their adorable Baby girl to capture some sweet moments and even sweeter baby faces for their Family Portraits. Family Photography to me, means capturing those thin

Family | Jacksonville Family Photographer | Florida Family Photographer
As a Family Photographer, I have been so blessed this Family Portrait season. Amazing families, catching up with clients I get to see year after year, sweet little babes and fun locations. I always love when clients have a location that is meaningful to them. So when the Steele Family mentioned private land I knew it was going to be perfection. The light that evening, the awesome styling Loren did for her family and of course that land made for gorgeous Family portraits. So,

Watch Me Grow | 4 Month Milestone Portraits | Lifestyle Family Photography | Jacksonville Family Pho
It's no secret I love my Watch Me Grow families. Catching up with them session after session. Seeing a little life grow and change, smile, giggle and crawl always makes my day brighter. Reminds me how blessed I am to have this job. So being able to capture a little one from a Maternity Session To, meeting her at only hours old for her Fresh 48 session.... To her Lifestyle Newborn session..... Being able to catch up and see just how much Miss W has grown was wonderful. And thi

Christmas Cutie | Family Photography | Jacksonville Family Photographer
Christmas season is here and in full swing! Presents need to be wrapped, decorations are ready and I get to meet so many adorable little ones! I absolutely love being a Family Photographer in Jacksonville and St Augustine this time of year. Family portraits are always fun, filled with smiles, laughter and usually a bit of silly. Sometimes, the photo session is all about the kids though. Miss L was as cute as they come. Her big blue eyes and adorable outfit (which apparently i

Thank you so much to the amazing families that met me and make Monday a little more merry with some sweetness from the Christmas Mini event at a local Christmas Tree Farm! Happy Monday!

Christmas in our Historic City | St Augustine Christmas Portraits | Family Photographer St Augustine
If you have been following me for any length of time, you probably know I love St Augustine. We frequently day trip there just to enjoy the sights, grab lunch, stroll along Saint George St.......pretend we are tourists on vacation. And it's perfect. But, I also love sessions in this beautiful city. Meeting up again with families year after year is a wonderful perk to my job. Last year, I met this wonderful family for the first time for a beach portrait session. This year, St
