    It's no secret I simply LOVE my Watch ME Grow clients. Also no secret, my love for the beach. So, when we are planning a First Birthday session for one of my amazing families, and they are up for the beach, I am one happy photographer. This beach location is one of my favorites and Brandi did amazing at coordinating what her family wore. All of it worked together beautifully to make a perfect Beach Family Photography session near Jacksonville, FL. And make sure to scroll all

    Jacksonville Family Photographer | Sunrise Beach Photography | Milestone Portraits

    It has been amazing lately with all the gorgeous beach sunrises I have gotten to photograph in Ponte Vedra Beach near Jacksonville, FL. I may not be a morning person, I love a good sunrise, and a good beach sunrise is even better. Add in an adorable baby girl and her family, you have the makings for a perfect start to my day. As a family photographer near Jacksonville FL I have been blessed to meet so many wonderful families. When I first met this little miss and all the smil

    Beach Family Portraits | Jacksonville Family Photographer

    We are blessed to live in Florida where it's almost beach season year round......almost. But after our quick winter, warm days have brought us back to the beach. Being a Family Photographer in Jacksonville and St Augustine FL I have been lucky enough to visit many of our amazing beaches. From large rocks, soft sand to even driftwood we have it all within an hour from us. Last Friday, we beat the rain (apparently Friday rain is the new trend) and were able to capture a beautif

    St Augustine Family Photographer | Fun Family Portraits | Family Photography

    Family Portraits SHOULD BE FUN. There should be laughter, play, tickles, cuddles and games. Families should be photographed having fun together. Loving each other. Because that is WHO our families are. We play. We have fun. We Love. So, anytime a client has a specific idea for fun portraits I do my best to help them make it happen. When meeting up with a Watch Me Grow family for these portraits are even better. All along, Sara has told me her ideas for fun portraits. She and

    Jacksonville Family Photography | First Birthday Portraits | Look Who's One

    As much as I love meeting little one's when they are so fresh and so new to the world. I also LOVE watching them grow. Meeting with a family a few times over baby's first year to Photograph how they have grown and changed. It's pretty awesome. Most of my families who I see time after time are apart of my Watch Me Grow plan, BUT a few families schedule a few sessions with me over the year. Often, first meeting at one of my Mini Events.

    Milestone Monday | Watch Me Grow | Ponte Vedra Fl Family Photographer

    Being able to capture so many special moments for a family over Baby's First year is an incredible thing. Being able to capture the growth and changes of your family in front of your front door is one way to document the changes of each stage of life. Lifestyle sessions are amazing for this it's true. This happy girl was amazing for her 6 month Milestone session, giving me lots of smiles. This sweet girl has grown so much and has all the baby chunk that always makes me smile.

    It's no secret I love my Watch Me Grow families. Being able to see little ones grow and change over their first year. Even being able to see how their older siblings grow is basically, amazing. Being a Baby Photographer and Family Photographer in Jacksonville and St Augustine Fl is pretty much awesome. And these sweet girls prove that even more. Miss M has been the sweetest every session since we met at her Fresh 48 Portrait session. Her big sister, has been a rockstar since

    For Christmas, my grandmother got me a sign that reads, "Family is Everything." If you have followed me for a little while, you know that this was the last gift she would give as my grandmother passed on Christmas Eve. But, it is still a great gift. Because she knew me. She knew how much I love my family. I do my best to prioritize my family and that is one reason that I try to make absolutely sure that every family that comes to me for a Family Portrait session is in love wi

    I can't believe it is the last day of 2018. How fast thie year has gone by is crazy to me.

And I thank God and all of my amazing clients. Who have allowed to capture some of the most special moments in their lives. So, I just wanted to share a few of my favorites from this year, and since

    As a Family Photographer, I have been so blessed this Family Portrait season. Amazing families, catching up with clients I get to see year after year, sweet little babes and fun locations. I always love when clients have a location that is meaningful to them. So when the Steele Family mentioned private land I knew it was going to be perfection. The light that evening, the awesome styling Loren did for her family and of course that land made for gorgeous Family portraits. So,

    If you have been following me for any length of time, you probably know I love St Augustine. We frequently day trip there just to enjoy the sights, grab lunch, stroll along Saint George St.......pretend we are tourists on vacation. And it's perfect. But, I also love sessions in this beautiful city. Meeting up again with families year after year is a wonderful perk to my job. Last year, I met this wonderful family for the first time for a beach portrait session. This year, St

    My Watch Me Grow package covers Baby's First year. From Maternity through their First Birthday, I am able to capture so many milestones of a family.

Check out some favorites from the past, and all my favorites from Noah's 12 Month session in St Augustine FL. Happy Friday!

As a Family Photographer in Jacksonville and St Augustine FL, I am blessed to meet many families each year. Capture their connection, their love. Capture their favorite things about their children, how much the children have grown and just the wonder that is family. But I have a few families, who have come back to me year after year.

    It's without a doubt Family Photo season. My season starts slow, but by the middle of this month I will be meeting, laughing with, and capturing the connection, joy and love of many families until December. And even though I know long computer hours are ahead, a less clean house and a complete lack of balance for a season..... I so enjoy seeing these families. So many that I get to see year after year for their Fall Family Portraits. And for that, I am blessed for certain. BU

    If you follow photographers, or know a Family Photographer you know that the end of Sept thru December (for us Florida photographers) is Family Portrait Season. That time of year when everyone updates their family portraits. For Christmas cards, for gifts or even just to capture how much has changed in a year. But it's that time. I began with some dear friends of mine in my favorite city. Actually, the portraits were done at the Fountain of Youth which is not a place I would

    I've been lucky lately to capture some of Jacksonville's most adorable little birthday babes. 12 Month Portraits for First Birthdays are always filled with smiles and laughter. It's one of my favorite part of being a Family Photographer in Jacksonville and St Augustine FL. This precious little girl at almost 12 months old is already stronger than most adults I know. Her mother and grandmother are amazing and their love for her shines to brightly. This baby girl has not had an

    Little lives change so much over the first year. And I love capturing the Milestone's with families in Jacksonville,FL and St Augustine,FL. First Birthday Portraits are always some of the sweetest and most adorable sessions I get to do. Their little personalities, sweet smiles, and the way they love on their parents could not make my heart happier. We know I love the beach, and even though I am not a morning person per say, watching a beach sunrise is always an amazing way to
