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

It's not a secret my Watch Me Grow baby plan families have a special place in my heart. Being able to capture so many Milestones over a baby's first year. From Fresh 48 Photography, to Newborn Photos, then those smiles, teeth, all that changes as your little one grows. Miss M has been a doll since her Fresh 48 photos. Her sister a rockstar through any weather, and their momma able to find the cutest outfits every time! So, check out only a few of my favorites from this Fir

I know, Monday's are usually for maternity Monday, but today it's all about Family. Capturing milestones throughout our children's lives. Having Family Portraits done for the first time. Or the first time in a long time. As a Family Photographer in Jacksonville, FL I am blessed to meet many wonderful families. All too often, the mom will say to me, "We have never had family portraits", or "we haven't had family photos since my baby was a baby" and said "baby" is now a teen.

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. As a Florida family photographer, I have been blessed to see so many gorgeous parts of our beautiful state. The light that evening,

Christmas season is here and in full swing! Presents need to be wrapped, decorations are ready and I get to meet so many adorable little ones! I absolutely love being a Family Photographer in Jacksonville and St Augustine this time of year as I get to be a Christmas Photos Family Photographer which is even more fun. Family portraits are always fun, filled with smiles, laughter and usually a bit of silly. Sometimes, the photo session is all about the kids though. Miss L was

Lately, every year I try for fun new locations for my Christmas Minis. And this year, I was finally able to secure a local Christmas Tree farm. It was a gorgeous day, and I had many wonderful families meet me to capture their family photos in true a true Christmas background. Thank you so much to the amazing families that met me and make Monday a little more merry with some sweetness from my local Christmas Tree Farm minis for Christmas family photos! Happy Monday!

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,

It's Black Friday! But for those not shopping (or shopping online), why not take a break and see some favorites from two adorable sisters and their Christmas Family photography session. Smiles, cuddles and sweetness fills this session. So, enjoy, be Merry and Thankful this Friday, Melody

It's no secret that this time of year is filled with Family Portraits and Christmas cheer. Or at least Family portraits. But, a good Mommy & Me Portrait session is always worth it. As a present for an amazing mom, or a gift to yourself to focus on capturing the love you have for your little ones, these sessions are always worth it. I met up with this wonderful momma, who is an amazing Kindergarten teacher and former coworker back when I taught Kinders. I've known Miss C sin

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'm very happy to be both a first birthday & family photographer. 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! Melody

Family Portrait season is in full swing! If you have followed me for a while at all, you know. I love St Augustine. I love that I live so close now, I love every time we have a day trip and I love being able to have so many sessions in this beautiful city! I have the most amazing clients it's true, but sometimes some clients are more than just that. Megan has been one of my best friends since 1998....yes, we are that old. Bridesmaids for each other, twice pregnant together

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.

I've said it before, and I will say it always. My Watch Me Grow families are amazing. Of course, when it's a watch me grow baby and one of your best friend's for almost 20 years, well that makes it even better. Miss S newborn session did not feature her big brother as he came down with a fever that day (after I was already there). So, we made sure this time to get some of him with his baby sister as well as celebrate his 4th birthday! Scroll to the bottom to see a special
