    Watch Me Grow | Family Photography | Jacksonville FL Family Photographer

    I should have a section of all of these blogs I do during the Quarantine... Maybe call them, "The Quarantine Chronicles". First, because I am blogging WAY less than normal because I don't have the content to share. Second, because most likely this kind of thing won't happen again in my lifetime. Luckily, I did get a few sessions in before the craziness that I can still share. Before this blog becomes photos of my dogs and kids only. This wonderful family is one of my Watch Me

    Family is Everything | St Augustine FL Family Photography | St Augustine Family Photographer

    Right now, we are all spending more time with our family than ever (unless you are a healthcare worker, trucker, grocery store worker, etc.. in which case, God bless you). More dinners are being eaten around the family table than have in years in many homes. One of my best friends is a teacher and made the statement that she thinks for many of her students, this may be amazing. Many of them have parents who both work long hours and the child rarely sees them. I'm not judging

    Lifestyle Milestone Photography | Family Photography | Jacksonville Family Photographer

    People always think to do a lifestyle session you need a huge house with lots of light pouring through. And not to say that a house like that isn't awesome (I would love if my house was like that), it's not a requirement. What do you need? One good window. That's it. Well, that and the love of your family. I was lucky enough back in November to capture Miss E's Fresh 48 Newborn Photos. Such a little doll then I was excited when her mom asked later about a modified Baby Plan!

    I absolutely LOVE being able to capture a Baby's First Year. My Watch Me Grow families in Jacksonville Fl and St Augustine FL are always amazing. Seriously, I have been blessed with meeting some awesome families. It's always a little bittersweet when we get together for the 12 Month session. As a First Birthday Photoshoot, means that little life has graduated from my baby plan. So, stay warm on this dreary Friday, and check out a few of my favorites from this fun First Birthd

    They Grow so Fast | Jacksonville FL Family Photographer | First Birthday Photography

    Any parent, once they reach the first birthday realize, "They were all so right." Of course, by that I mean all the moms who have come before who tell you, "they grow so fast". Over their first year your little one will grow, learn, smile, laugh, develop a personality, crawl and maybe even walk. Whether their smile is still toothless or they have a few new teeth, capturing First Birthday photos allows you to see just how much has changed. Of course, doing Maternity Photos, Ne

    Watch Me Grow Milestone Session | Jacksonville Family Photographer | Jacksonville Fl Photographer

    I have always said that I LOVE when clients return to allow me to capture just how big their babe has gotten. Being a Family Photographer in Jacksonville FL is basically just capturing happiness. Family Photos should be about all the happiness and love. Jack's 8 month photo session was all that. This sweet, happy boy was amazing in November with his big blue eyes and smile, and even at his 8 month session, he was ALL smiles. Like, the happiest baby boy ever. It may have been

    As a Family Photographer, I am honored each and every time a family asks me to capture a special milestone in their life. When a family visiting from Chicago decides they want their son's First Birthday Photos done while visiting family in St Augustine Beach, Fl.... I am a little bit extra excited. Not because all the amazing families here don't excite me, but because with all the amazing photographers in the Chicago area, they still chose me. And for that I am thankful. It m

    Meeting new families to capture the milestones and growth of their little one is always awesome. Seeing beautiful older homes, tree lined streets, and a riverfront park I have never been to before, even better. There are so many hidden gems around Jacksonville, I am always excited to see a new spot. This sweet family, contacted me to capture their little man halfway through his First Year. All the baby smiles, baby chub, and baby drool (come on teeth) always makes for a sweet

    Top Family Photography Images of 2019 | Jacksonville Fl Family Photographer | St Augustine FL Family

    It's true I LOVE the Maternity Photos, Fresh 48 Photoshoots and Newborn Photography I am lucky enough to capture. But Family Photography allows me to keep seeing these little lives as they grow. And that makes it truly special. Throughout the year, most of my Family Photoshoots are returning clients celebrating a special milestone or just returning for their annual Family Photos. Whether one of our beautiful beaches here in Jacksonville, or in a wooded park, Family Photo sess

    It's no secret that I do love my Watch Me Grow plan families. Being allowed to schedule before anyone else the month of your session is a bonus for these families, but the video slideshow (check out Facebook and Instagram to see it) and album you receive with images from all of your sessions, I think, is a bit of awesomeness too. From our Maternity session on, this family was perfection. Every session gave me images I LOVED. Made it hard to choose what to share as well as wha

    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

I still get excited to share gorgeous family portrait sessions. Especially sessions involving a rocky beach, adorable baby girls, a gorgeous couple and Florida sunrise. This session couldn't have turned out more beautiful in my mind. I loved each and every image. As a Family Photographer in Jacksonville Fl and St Augus

    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

Being able to capture Maternity Photos, Fresh 48 Photos, Newborn Photos AND a photoshoot capturing Milestones along the first year is one of the many reasons I love these. And the families that ask me to do them. Being a Photographer in Jacksonville, FL is one of the jobs in the world and clients like this make it even better!

    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

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!

    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

    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

    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
