Family vacations are something we all look forward to every year. I love being able to spend time, focusing on my family with less of a...

Early mornings in historic downtown St Augustine Florida are the best. Less people, beautiful light, if you go early enough you can even get sunrise with the intracoastal waterway in the background. I absolutely love St Augustine. I love being a family photographer in St Augustine as well. Walking through the streets and being able to capture a loving family with a variety of backgrounds makes me happy. It's the perfect way to start a day (well, that and coffee). This time la

Celebrating your little one's First Birthday is a huge milestone! All the growth and changes that have happened that first year deserves to be documented! And little makes me happier than when my newborn photography clients contact me later to book first birthday photos. As a family photographer in Jacksonville and St Augustine, I am lucky to be able to meet so many amazing families. To capture milestones, joy, celebrations, all of it. Family Photography is amazing and First

I do my best to help family photography clients choose locations that fit their vision. Sometimes, the location we set upon doesn't work out. If I had not been there before and wasn't aware of issues, closures or fees you just have to roll with it. This wonderful family rolled with it changing course as they were driving to meet me, but the location we found turned out perfectly! (a part of town and preserve I had never been to before) I have been photographing this family fo

Yes, my title made me crack myself up, but this adorable little man rocked the Blue Steel face almost the entire session and I am NOT at all mad about it. A beautiful location, the outfit his momma chose, all of it worked together so perfectly. Your little one doesn't have to be a super smiler to create beautiful memories and photos. All you have to do is love on them and each other. Stay warm and check out a few favorites from these Fall family photos at Washington Oaks Gard

It's no secret I always grow to love my Watch Me Grow plan clients. We spend so much time together over their little one's first year of...

Let's be honest. Rarely around Jacksonville, does a client say, "My family has some land." But I'm truly not sure if family land has ever been such a photo perfect plot of land! Everything about this session was perfection. The weather, well ok it rained twice, but for a small amount of time and there was a covered area to wait it out. But the fall foliage in Florida, the pond, the trees, everything else, perfection for family photos on your own land. Shooting this session, e

It's true. Most of my sessions are Maternity portraits, Newborn Photos or Family Photography. I don't do weddings, so I rarely get couples only sessions. But, man are they fun when I do. This wonderful couple came to me as her sister and step sister are long time clients. After our session, I got a message stating she loved them even more than her wedding photos, which is basically the best compliment for me. So, take a moment on this Thanksgiving week and check out a few of

I am blessed that I have clients who return to me time and time again. Allowing me to capture special milestones and moments in their lives. This family is definitely one of them as I have gotten to see Riley grow so much over the past 18 months. This session may have been warmer than we would have liked for Fall, but we live in north Florida so we went with it. The water, the sun and when the breeze did hit, it all came together with this adorable family to give them beautif

Being able to capture the love of families is amazing. When one of those families is your best friend of over 20 years and her family. Well, basically amazing. I adore being a Family Photographer in Jacksonville and St Augustine, FL. It brings me joy capturing the love and joy of families all year round. But it's almost like a gift to use my talents God gave me to capture memories for people I love. So, take a moment on this crazy Monday, and check out a few favorites from th

We are all used to getting family photos with your spouse and kids, but every once in awhile a family comes together. To capture all the love with grandparents, cousins, everyone. And that's basically always amazing. This wonderful family after being jealous of Kelly's photos with sweet Nora, decided a whole family session was in order. Toss in boys in vests and their sweet girl cousin running the show and we had laughter and love the entire session together. Fall family phot

Birthday Milestone photo sessions are always fun. Our kiddos grow so fast, capturing them year after year is a way to freeze THIS moment. THIS year in time. To remember all those details forever. This sweet girl's session was postponed twice, but we beat the rain and made it happen on our third try and I am SO glad we did. Miss Mattilyn's momma wanted this session all about her, but once her big sister joined her the amount of cuteness that followed.......well, you'll just ha

Right now, we are all spending more time with our family than ever (unless you are a healthcare worker, trucker, grocery store worker, etc.. in which case, God bless you). More dinners are being eaten around the family table than have in years in many homes. One of my best friends is a teacher and made the statement that she thinks for many of her students, this may be amazing. Many of them have parents who both work long hours and the child rarely sees them. I'm not judgin

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 s

On this Christmas Eve, Eve....it's only right I make my blog post all about Christmas. Or at least all the Christmas feels. So, as you take a break from gift wrapping, shopping or just a break from all the people at your house, why not look back at some of my Favorites from this year's Red Truck Mini session event at Chandler Oaks Barn in St Augustine, FL. I LOVE how these turned out and already have many people asking about a spot for next year. Christmas family photos are

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 c

How is it December??? Even though I am SO ready for Christmas, family time, and all the lights and movies (who's kidding I've been watching the movies since Halloween).. I still can't believe it's here. In the northern states, Family Portrait season ends in early November. But here in Florida, we are still in full swing! I'm behind on blogging of course, but I still want to share all of my amazing families and their Family Photos here in Jacksonville, FL. I actually met

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

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

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 sibli
