    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

    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

    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

    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 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 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

    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

    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
