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

Milestones | First birthday Portraits | Jacksonville FL Family Photography
Repeat clients make my heart happy. Because it means they loved their images and didn't hate me. So after capturing Maternity Portraits last year, I was so excited to meet Miss C for her first birthday photoshoot! So happy, full of smiles, cuddles and love...though sometimes it was only when my camera wasn't blocking my face. Family Photos are just capturing the milestones, love, connection in your family. Whether they be for a First Birthday or because it's been awhile since

First Birthday Photos | St Augustine FL Family Photographer | Milestone Photography
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

Capturing the Milestones | 6 Month Milestone Portraits | Jacksonville FL Family Photography
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 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

Sunrise Family Photography | Beach Family Photography | Jacksonville FL Family Photographer
It's no secret my feed and blog has been filled with wonderful families this time of year. And with only 12 days left until Christmas (How is this possible???) 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

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

4 Month Milestone Session | Family Photography | Jacksonville Fl Family Photographer
It's always exciting when I get to catch up with one of my Watch Me Grow, baby plan families. 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!

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

It's cooler in the Jacksonville and Saint Augustine FL area FINALLY!!!!

The Love of Family | St Augustine Family Photographer | Family Photography
If you have been following me for any amount of time, you know that I LOVE St Augustine, Fl. For some reason, every time I go, I feel like I am on vacation. Like I could walk around and soak up everything in downtown St Augustine all day long. And yes, I have been there alot. So, of course when clients want their Maternity Photoshoot or Family Photos in historic St Augustine, I am SOOOO excited. Every time. This wonderful family was only in St Augustine for two nights on the

Her sister a rockstar through any weather, and their momma able to find the cutest outfits every time! So, check out only a few of my favorites from this First

Watch Me Grow | Milestone Photos | Jacksonville FL Family Photographer
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 siblings
