I adore every Maternity shoot or Newborn photos I am blessed enough to do. But, I also love when those families return to me for a First Birthday session. Even after all the chaos the spring had, meeting up with this wonderful family for a sunrise first birthday session was amazing. A beautiful morning, beautiful weather and an amazing sky over Vilano Beach, FL as we capture the happiness, love and details of this very special First Birthday milestone. So, make Monday a bit m

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

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 A

It's cooler in the Jacksonville and Saint Augustine FL area FINALLY!!!! I could happy dance all day to Christmas music, but first let me make today even better by sharing even more of my favorites from this gorgeous session of family photos on Boneyard Beach at Big Talbot Island. Jacksonville's closest driftwood beach is beyond gorgeous and I feel not enough people know about this gem of a place. So, when Daniel contacted me about some Milestone and Family Photos there I wa

As one of many talented and awesome family photographers in Jacksonville, FL, I am honored each and every time a family chooses me to capture those moments that are most precious. Milestone's in life, froze in time to cherish forever in their family photography. This amazing family, met me early one Sunday morning for a Sunrise beach family photo session celebrating their sweet baby girl's first birthday. From their family styling to the gorgeous light that morning everythi

Being a non-morning person, you wouldn't think I would love sunrises. But man I do, the sunrise we witnessed in Maine was amazing. But, before I left on that vacation, 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

Summer always tends to lead us towards beautiful sunrises. Even though it means really early mornings in the summer, I never regret watching a beautiful sunrise (I did get up at 4:15a to make sure I saw all of the sunrise in Maine, so I'm committed, lol). This wonderful family made a weekend of it, coming in from out of town for their beautiful sunrise session. It was worth it completely though! So, make Monday a little better with some beauty and favorites from these sunri

Summer is here and beach sessions abound. A couple weeks ago, I was able to do my Annual Beach Mini Event with some awesome families. I love beach portraits.....heck, I love the beach. Hearing it, watching it, all of it. I love these minis every year and meeting new families or capturing another milestone for returning families make them even better. So, stay cool this Wednesday, get your relax on before tomorrow's Holiday and check out some of my favorites from these Beac

It's Beach Season. Beach days, beach nights. Whether just on vacation or living a vacation everyday, the beach is where to be in the summer. Being a Family Photographer in St Augustine and Jacksonville FL I often get to see families year after year. But it's always special when a family on vacation contacts me for beach family portraits. This wonderful family had a vacation week in St Augustine Beach, FL and we missed the rain and were able to capture some beautiful images

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 sunset beach family photos near Jacksonville, FL. Happy Monday! Melody

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 s

It's BACK!!!! Maternity Monday is here! Sure, I made this day up, but it sure does make Monday better. Especially today as I share a GORGEOUS sunrise beach Maternity portrait session. I am NOT a morning person. I never have been. BUT, I love sunrises. A capturing beautiful mommas and wonderful families on the beach at sunrise always starts my day off right. This beautiful family has been with me since they came to my Beach Mini event last summer. Not everyone (including m

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

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 St Augustine Fl family photographer I have seen my share of sunrises. But I cannot deny this one was gloriously beautiful that morning.
