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

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.

When clients return back to capture milestones in their child's or family's life it's pretty much the greatest compliment I can receive. Capturing a Fresh 48, Newborn, 6 Month and First Birthday portraits session for this adorably sweet baby girl and her family has been wonderful. Watching the red hair grow, silly smiles, new teeth and tiny pig tails as a little life moves from baby to toddler. It' can't help but make you smile. So, check out some of my favorite images fro

During my newborn session today the mama asked me how long I have been a photographer. I said, "Well, I started in 2010, but didn't really fully develop until 2012 and even since then, I have been growing." See, in 2010 my only clients really were family. A few friends. And a couple amazing families who, God bless them, gave me a shot. This was one of those amazing families. 8 years and 3 kids later, I am still blessed enough to call them clients and friends. And to still

"A year is 365 days of your story...make it a good one" I can't believe it's time to say goodbye to 2017. I have been blessed to photograph so many amazing families. To capture the laughter, giggles and love by sharing some of my favorite family portraits. From newborns to silly toddlers and fun teenagers, I have photographed it all. And enjoyed every minute of it. So, as we prepare to say, goodbye, write our resolutions, choose our "word of the year" or whatever your tr
