    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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! 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

    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

    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

    I began my journey as a photographer focusing on Family Photography. At first, for my own family and friends. Just capturing our everyday lives and adventures. Playdates, outings, birthdays, and just life. But as my love for photography grew, I moved to wanting to capture the beauty of every family. Those details of their love, their connection, the personalities in their little ones, and just how they grow and change so quickly. I have since grew into loving Maternity Photog

    It's officially Family Portrait season here in Jacksonville and St Augustine FL. What does that mean? Well, many families want their annual family photoshoot in the Fall (Granted, we live in Florida....so Fall isn't really a thing. It's Summer 2). My schedule gets filled quickly, BUT I get to meet up with many of the same families year after year to capture how big their kids have gotten and all the love and connection they have as their family grows. And I LOVE it! This wond

Though, here in Jacksonville and St Augustine Fl we have the ability to do photography year round, this time of year is when everyone wants to update their family photos. Grab a shot for the Christmas card and capture the love and joy that is their family.

    As Family Portrait season (and Hurrican Dorian) come closer, every family portrait session I have gets me excited! It's a busy time of year, but so many amazing families, editing marathons in front of Hallmark movies and all the Pumpkin Spice Lattes makes it pretty awesome. Or, at least to me. This family has made every session we have had together amazing. I firt met them when their oldest was 3 months old at a Beach Family Photo session. Since then, each session feels likes

But, before I left on that vacaiton, I was able to see another beautiful sunrise over the beach as I captured some First Birthday Photos for a wonderful family. I love my job. I love being able to capture Maternity Photos, Newborn Photos and of course, Family Photography in Jacksonville, FL and St Augustine, Fl. This little man and his parents wer
