This year has FLOWN by. By year, I mean school year. Spring break has passed and I know it seems, even though school ends later than normal, that these last few weeks FLY BY. BUT, what that also means is thinking about Senior Portraits. Whether you're in the Class of 2021 or Class of 2022, Senior Portraits are a right of passage. A chance to create a session that's ALL ABOUT YOU. Your hobbies and interests, your style, your favorite things. Many do their Senior Portraits the

If you've never heard of Lifestyle Newborn Photography you may not realize, it means I come to you. Packing up to take the baby out into the world days after birth? Nope. Making sure you bring snacks, toys and everything for the toddler or older siblings? Nope. Cleaning the house before your session? Nope. I bring everything to you, schedule it around your schedule (which means older kids don't have to miss school even) and am totally fine with the "fake clean" as we just mov

Living in Florida, beach family portraits at some point is a given. Luckily in our area we have so many beautiful and different beaches to chose from. Even though this night seemed even busier than normal, this family made magic. The older girls, the styling momma did, the beautiful breeze it all worked together in such an amazing way.

Let's be honest. We all know MANY things got delayed or changed this year. It's been crazy and if anything I have gotten much better to adapting and rolling with it then I used to be. This wonderful family ORIGNALLY was supposed to be a Newborn session...... Enter the crazy of 2020 and here we are with a park Fall family photography session with a happy chunky sweet (not newborn) baby boy. But all the sweetness and his photo loving big sister made for a wonderful session for

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

I'm SOOOOOO behind on blogging and may not even be blogging sessions in order, but hey it's 2020. This was my first session with this wonderful family and there was definitely SO much laughing. We weren't rained out, the sun made an appearance and everything came together. As apparently this weekend I will be watching radar and praying rain stays away again, check out a few favorites from these Fall family photos on the beach in Ponte Vedra Beach, FL. Melody

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

If you have been following my page for any amount of time, you know, I always end up loving my baby plan families. I work with them to capture the details, love and joy of each stage as their little one grows from Maternity through the first birthday. Family Photos, Newborn Photos all to document how much those sweet babes change. This wonderful family has killed every session we have had. Like, it's always my new favorite. Unfortunately, Aspen's dad was deployed, and even th

Even though it doesn't much feel like it here in Florida (Fall in Florida is basically summer with pumpkins), it is Fall. Which also means it is Family Portrait season! Granted this may only be a thing in the photographer world it does, in fact, exist. Starting that season off with a large family portrait session who chose the most PERFECT Fall colors is all a family photographer could ask for. Family Photos are often done every year by families, but not often including the g

Though COVID has changed how many little lives I have seen and even how I have captured them, BUT I still love being a lifestyle newborn photographer and capturing Newborn Sessions. Especially, Lifestyle Newborn Photos at home with a furry sibling. A furry brother so well behaved and just happy to be included. So, take a moment on this rainy Monday and check out a few of my favorites from this sweet Newborn Photography session in Jacksonville, FL.

Every mom will tell you. Babies don't keep. They grow way too fast. In many ways we love it, seeing the independence, their personalities, watching them learn. Then we miss other aspects. Cuddles, little giggles, when they didn't know the word, "no". Being a Family Photographer has definitely allowed me the opportunity to watch so many little ones grow. Of course, that is one of the most amazing parts of my job. This sweet girl has never ceased to be adorable at our sessions

Last year, I sent one of my cameras in to be fixed and Nikon came back with it wasn't worth the money. So, I upgraded. The new camera had video capabilities so I tried to learn it and did my first ever video slideshow for this awesome family at their newborn session. Fast forward one year later, and when planning his 1st birthday session I remembered the nursery was dinosaur themed. I asked, "hey, if the dinosaurs are still at the zoo do you want to do it there?" Well, Amanda
