It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year | 2018 Christmas Mini Events | Jacksonville FL Family P

This Saturday is September 1st..... how it's September already I can't understand, BUT as time flies when you're having fun and there isn't much more fun than Football season, Fall Festivals and Pumpkin Spice everything! All that, leads up to Christmas. And Family Portrait season. Every year, I try to organize a few options to my amazing Families to capture those portraits for Christmas Cards, Christmas gifts and just to document all that has changed in the past year. This ye

Family is Everything | Jacksonville FL Family Photographer

Last week, (I think) I share the blog post about an awesome Military Homecoming I was blessed enough to capture. You can find that post HERE, but before they left town, I got to meet up with that wonderful family again for some updated Family photos. I have been so blessed by the amazing families I get to meet as a Family Photographer in Jacksonville FL & St Augustine FL. So many adorable kiddos, sweet little babes and even furry kids make my job not only fun, but amazing. Ha

Welcome Home Daddy | Military Homecoming Photography | Jacksonville FL Family Photographer

I have said before, that I am honored each and every time a family asks me to capture a special milestone in their lives. The waiting for a new life in Maternity Portraits, meeting that new life in Fresh 48 Photography or Newborn Portraits and of course birthdays, growing up or just how life has changed in a year with Family Portraits. I can't tell my amazing clients thank you enough for allowing me in. But, but when a previous Maternity Portrait and Newborn portrait client a

Family is Everything | 6 Month Milestone Session | Family Photography | Jacksonville FL Family Photo

Last January, I ran a contest for a Free Newborn Session. It was awesome, BUT the winner found out she won the DAY AFTER she had a newborn session. **Murphy's Law** So, we made a deal for a 6 month milestone session instead. And it's been 6 months. Allison and her family was wonderful, her son was a ham and sweet little miss could not have been more adorable as the peanut that she is. So, say goodbye to Wednesday and enjoy some of my favorites from this park Family Portrait s

Watch Me Grow | Mr. N :: 8 Months Session | St Augustine FL Family Photographer | Vilano Beach, FL

It's no secret my Watch Me Grow families become very special to me. Getting to know these parents and little lives as I capture such a special time in their life is amazing. Watching a little man go from sweet little babe to a happy smiley guy is pretty much the best. And doing it all with a beautiful Florida sunrise is even better. Being a Family Photographer near St Augustine FL and Jacksonville FL I have seen my share of sunrises. But I cannot deny this one was gloriously

My Watch Me Grow families are amazing. Being able to capture milestones and how much a little one can grow in their first year! Mr. Lucas was a doll from the beginning. Though, his 12 month session may have been a little early, he brought out the smiles when the cake appeared for certain! So check out favorites from this beautiful Sunrise Session and be sure to scroll to the bottom to see favorites from ALL of our sessions over Lucas' first year. Happy Friday! Melody #firstbi

It's true. My website and most of my feed is filled with Mama's waiting on new lives, sweet little newborns, chunky babies and happy kiddos. But, every once in awhile I get lucky enough to a couples portrait session. As parents, we photograph our kids constantly. For much of life, our world revolves around their activities, school, etc... But to celebrate the love that started that family. To celebrate your marriage with a session while on vacation. To celebrate each other. T

When clients return back to capture milestones in their child's or family's life it's pretty much the greatest compliment I can receive. Capturing a Fresh 48, Newborn, 6 Month and First Birthday portrait session for this adorably sweet baby girl and her family has been wonderful. Watching the red hair grow, silly smiles, new teeth and tiny pig tails as a little life moves from baby to toddler. It' can't help but make you smile. So, check out some of my favorite images from Mi

First Birthday Portrait Session | Look Who's One | Watch Me Grow | Mr. E is one

That first year with my Watch Me Grow families always goes so fast. It seems like we just finished one session before we are scheduling that First Birthday session. This little man has been the cutest ball of chub since day one. Sweet and smiley, everything you love about sweet little babes. (and chunky baby thighs for the win!) I've loved getting to know his mom, dad and big brother this past year and am so thankful they allowed me to capture this special time. So, of course

I've said it before, and I will say it always. My Watch Me Grow families are amazing. Of course, when it's a watch me grow baby and one of your best friend's for almost 20 years, well that makes it even better. Miss S newborn session did not feature her big brother as he came down with a fever that day (after I was already there). So, we made sure this time to get some of him with his baby sister as well as celebrate his 4th birthday! Scroll to the bottom to see a special vid

It Takes a Village | A Special Lifestyle Portrait Session | Lifestyle Photographer Jacksonville FL

As a parent, you realize when you have family, good friends (framily), a good babysitter, teacher, Nanny or AuPair that is in your child's or children's life and love your children like they are their own. That this is special. This is amazing. You know, when you can't be there, your children are loved and cared for. That they are happy and healthy. And you can have peace while you are away. Mom guilt is horrible, but I feel like when your children love the person with them w

It's true lately you have seen baby bumps and new little lives. And as super Psyched I am for that, it's nice to have a gorgeous sunset Family Portrait session every now and then. This one was a large family session for the Matriarch on her birthday. A mom of three boys, now with 4 grandchildren, you know how very blessed she feels. We also all know how hard it is once our kids leave the nest to get portraits with everyone. (Now, that I am thinking about it, we probably need

I can never stop gushing about my Watch Me Grow families. Featured today, is an adorable little man who I was lucky enough to capture while his parents were waiting on him... and of course, the sweetest Newborn Portraits once he made his arrival into the world (a very short time after. His momma texted me to let me know he had arrived before I was even done editing their gorgeous Maternity portraits!) So, I was excited to see just how much this little man had grown. Even thou

Milestone Portraits | Six Months Milestone | Jacksonville FL Family Photographer | Family Photograph

Though March has been chiller than planned, starting off my month with some 6 month old sweetness was pretty much the best. Remember this sweet girl and her family? It's always amazing and awesome to see how much a little one has changed. In 6 short months she has become a happy, blue eyed, roly poly (which means the most amazing chunky babyness) sweet girl. Though the cold caused her to old back her smiles we were still able to capture pure sweetness and her big brother prov

My Why | What I learned at my Photography Conference | Looking Back | Family Photographer Jacksonvil

"What you do matters, but WHY you do it matters much more." Over the weekend, I attended a Photography conference. My first ever. Some classes confirmed I was doing some things right. Some classes taught me a few new tricks. But one class was mind blowing. It made me realize, if I work towards my WHY, My work will always be something I love. Yes, I want to capture images that my clients love. But, the images both myself and my clients love most. Are always ones that fit my wh

After discussing location, the family and even the furry members joining us, I was excited for this Family Portrait session on December 1st at the beach. The weather was perfect and the sunset was beyond beautiful. Two silly, beautiful girls, furry family members and a wonderful couple made this sess

Before the holidays I was lucky enough to meet up with a brand new family for a Family Portrait session. The sunset was amazing. We played, chased, looked for fish and had a wonderful easy going session which always turns into the best possible images. So, warm up inside and check out some of my favorite images from the Schlag Family session!
