Capturing the moments in life that
become cherished memories.

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

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! So, take a moment this Monday, a break from Christmas pla

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

I am so blessed to be able to watch so many little ones grow and change over their first year. Make sure to make it all the way to the bottom to see some flashbacks of favorites from our Maternity Photography session and Newborn Photography session together. Miss E has gotten so big, and was a happy, sweet baby girl despite the heat the morning of our session. So, make your Monday a little cuter with a few of my favorites from this Milestone Family Photography session near Ja

I know, I have said it SOOOO many times. But it's so true. My Watch Me Grow families are amazing and I am always a little sad when their little one turns one and our sessions are over. This sweet baby girl and her parents were amazing and SO much fun! Sara was always full of ideas and it cracked me up when she would have props at our sessions to use, that always turned out AMAZING! Miss Willa-Grace was a doll from birth and every session made me smile. Even now, just thinking

It's not secret I love my Watch Me Grow families. Being able to capture so much of a little one's first year. From Maternity Portraits, Newborn Portraits, then Milestone sessions leading up to their First Birthday, I feel blessed each time a family chooses me to be apart of this journey. These memories as their little one grows and changes so much in that first year. With this amazing family, this was the third baby I got to watch grow. Our third Maternity session, third Newb

It's not secret my baby plan families always end up having a special place in my heart. Each session from this sweet little guy's Watch Me Grow session has been a session I LOVED! His parents always seem to just overflow with love for each other and their baby boy and its makes these sessions everything I dream of. From the moment I walked into their home for his newborn session I loved their old victorian. So, when Meghan suggested we do the 4 month session at home, I knew i

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.

I know, I have said it before.... and I say it alot....BUT, it's SO true. My Watch Me Grow families are amazing. Being able to capture all the milestone's of a Baby's First Year is amazing. AND...St Augustine, FL is amazing. Not sure if I have said that last one before, but I do love that city. So, anytime clients want a St Augustine portrait session I am 100% in! I got to catch up with this wonderful family to capture Mr. K's 8 Month session and it couldn't have been more pe

It's not secret I love my Watch Me Grow families. And though Monday's are usually for Maternity portraits, I have had a few Milestone and Newborn sessions recently that I need to share! This is my 3rd baby boy with this wonderful family. I cannot explain the honor I feel that they have trusted me every time in capturing the first year of their little loves. I send all my families a questionnaire so I can get to know them better. Which often helps me suggest locations for thei

Watching sweet little lives grow throughout their first year, and even year after year as they become little people is pretty amazing. Definately a perk of being a Family Photographer in Jacksonville and St Augustine. But, being able to capture my family as they grow....even better. This sweet girl is my youngest neice. An absolute doll, who may be the happiest baby ever. And you can't help but love her. So, make this Wednesday a bit better with some favorites from her recent

It's always a happy yet, crazy day when a Watch Me Grow baby turns one. Especially, when that little one is one of your best friend's baby girl. First Birthday parties are mostly for the family. To celebrate this little life. And Miss Stella's parents went big with all their family coming in from out of town for the party. So, of course, multi-generational portraits were in order. And, since Stella's birthday is close to her furry older brother Jack, there may have been some

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

It's no secret I love my Watch Me Grow families. Catching up with them session after session. Seeing a little life grow and change, smile, giggle and crawl always makes my day brighter. Reminds me how blessed I am to have this job. So being able to capture a little one from a Maternity Session To, meeting her at only hours old for her Fresh 48 session.... To her Lifestyle Newborn session..... Being able to catch up and see just how much Miss W has grown was wonderful. And thi

Every year, I am lucky enough to capture a few families often for their Watch Me Grow session as their sweet babe grows and changes during their first year. This sweet girl is a smiley as they come and being able to recreate a favorite family portrait we had done with her brother made this session even better. I always forget how much I love this location until I do a session there. Never under estimate the beauty in the places you like to walk and explore. So, grab a hot cof

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. I have loved every session with Noah and his parents. And it's crazy to think he is already ONE! Check out some favorites from the past, and all my favorites from Noah's 12 Month session in St Augustine FL. Happy Friday!

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
