Comfortable, Beautiful and Timeless in home newborn photography
Capturing sweet little lives will never get old. NEVER. I am blessed so many families allow me into their homes to photograph their newest addition. In home, Lifestyle Newborn Photography has my heart. Those tiny feet, tiny cries. Seeing a new mom looking at her new one with complete adoration. Watching a new dad gently hold and cuddle his son or daughter. Newborn Photography is amazing. Being able to be a Newborn Portrait Photographer in Jacksonville and St Augustine FL

Jacksonville FL Newborn Photographer
My first blog post of 2019! It's still kinda crazy to think it's already 2019. I mean, where are the flying cars and the robots to do all my housework for me? The Jetson's lied to me. BUT, what better way to kickstart a New Year then with a new little life? Meghan's maternity session was simply gorgeous in downtown Jacksonville, FL. (click on an image to see it entirely) So, of course, I knew the newborn session would be beautiful. And it did not disappoint. The nursery,

Newborn Photos at Home near Jacksonville, FL
What can make a rainy Friday better? Newborn sweetness. Truly, if you have been around a new baby, you know they can make every day sweeter (even when they don't let you sleep which is crazy). So fresh, so tiny, so full of possibilities, these new little lives are each amazing. Capturing Lifestyle Newborn Portraits (the fancy term for newborn photos at home) is one of my favorite things. Truly, how can it not be when I get to cuddle a newborn, giggle with a big sister and

Capture Those Moments in a Lifestyle Newborn Photography session
It's no secret...I love my job. I love capturing a family's love during Family Portrait sessions. Or the joy of expectant parents for a Maternity Photo session, but pretty much any session with newborns.....never feels like work. I mean, I get to hold, cuddle and capture a sweet new little life. See all the faces, sleepy smiles, the pure love their family feels. I get to capture it all. This precious little one was no different. I was lucky enough to capture her Fresh 48

Lifestyle Newborn Photography Done in Home
One of the best parts of my job, and the part most women are jealous of, is that I get to meet, snuggle and capture sweet Newborn babes shortly after their debut into the world. I am blessed to welcomed into homes, allowed to capture the joy, love and all that surround welcoming a new baby. Nursery details, new parents, I love it all. I have been lucky with being able to meet a new little life almost every week, and even though he may have kept his parents up all night the

Welcome Little One | Newborn Photographer Ponte Vedra FL
On this maternity monday(I am determined to make that a thing, lol), I shared a beautiful Maternity blog post . The day after we photographed that session, their sweet baby girl made her debut...a week early. Such a sweet and tiny little doll who was a dream for her session. It's true, I do Lifestyle Photography with my Newborn Portraits. I capture the details of their first home, first room, all I can.

In Hospital Newborn Portraits | Fresh 48 Photography
It's no secret new little lives make my heart happy. Meeting them in the hospital was a new addition to my offerings last year and I can't even say how much I LOVE doing them. The details that we forget about in the exhaustion and excitement of that time....I can capture for these families. Knowing that in hospital newborn portraits are able to capture the joy, the awe, all the feelz we feel as we welcome a child...or become parents.... it makes everything. Soon, Miss Will

Lifestyle Newborn Photography
I know, every time I say how blessed I am a family allowed me to come into their home and photograph their newest little life for a lifestyle Newborn photography session. But it's SO TRUE. Having a baby is an exciting time, and exhausting. But welcoming me into their home, no matter how they slept the night before, and allowing me to capture the love and joy they feel when they look at this little person. That is beyond awesome. So, make a rainy Friday better with favorite

Lifestyle Newborn Photography
So many sweet little lives have entered this world in the past couple of months. So many tiny yawns, little feet and the softest of hair. Cuddling can capturing these little people in Lifestyle Newborn Portraits is one of my favorite things ever. But, when it's my niece and her Newborn Portrait session, well....it can give me all the feelz. We had to break her session into two parts just due to life and schedules. But, Miss C was sweetness no matter what. So, if you are l

Fresh 48 In Hospital Newborn Session
Meeting a new little life for a Newborn Photography session is always amazing. Being allowed to capture them within their first 48 hours at a Fresh 48 Session is basically mind-blowing awesomesauce. (seriously) All those details of the haze after they make their debut in the world. Feet still all wrinkled and even with the marks from the tiny pricks on those feet. Hospital bands, hospital caps and just all the details of that new little life. Details that change soon after

Favorite Newborn Portraits
"Baby: A little bit of heaven, sent down to earth" Over the past year I found where my heart is. I found the style of photography that calls to me. I gave up on trying to be other photographers and copy their style. And I couldn't be happier. Each and every Lifestyle Newborn session makes me happy. During the session, editing the session...looking back at the images later on. I love it. Every time now. Sure, I see areas I need to grow and better myself. But I no longer fee
