Fresh 48 Photography to freeze all those details forever
My feed has been filled with Family Photography beauty, BUT I have to say, my heart and soul is with Maternity Photos, Newborn Photos and of course, Fresh 48 Photography. Being able to capture a sweet little life less than 48 hours old is unbelievably awesome. I am loving that these in hospital newborn photoshoots are becoming more popular. And that I can capture video of these sweet lives now too. This sweet family was perfect and being able to capture the grandparents as

Park Maternity Photos with your toddler to capture all the love
Beautiful light, sweet big brother and a beautiful momma. That is all you need for gorgeous Maternity Photography. I absolutely love maternity photoshoots and being able to capture an adorable big brother as well (who may or may not have stolen the show) makes it all even better. Maternity Photos are typically done between 32 and 34 weeks, so be sure not to wait to schedule your Maternity Portraits! This was a Maternity Mini and you can see all the awesomeness we still capt

My First Lifestyle Newborn Photography session with video!
It's Friday! And the only thing that can make Friday better (other than a Taco truck handing out Free tacos or a Sangria truck driving through your neighborhood) is getting your baby fix! So, take a moment and remember all that newborn sweetness as you check out some favorites from this beautiful Lifestyle Newborn Photography session in Jacksonville, FL. Newborn Photos always make me smile and hopefully they do you too. This was my first session with my new camera and abil

Newborn Photographer captures Newborn Photos at Home
Newborn Photography is basically, the best job ever. It's true. Being a Newborn Photographer and capturing tiny little lives for families in Jacksonville FL and St Augustine FL fills my heart. When my girls were born, Newborn Photos at home wasn't really a thing...excluding that you got at Walmart or Sears. Which was nothing like what Newborn Photographers do today. Especially not Lifetime Newborn Photoshoots are today. Capturing the nursery, parents, older siblings and fu

Why do in hospital Fresh 48 newborn photos?
I got to start my Friday off with a sweet little newborn photography session.... .. But, last weekend, I got to welcome this little man into the world less than 24 hours after his arrival. So sweet, so new and so perfect. Fresh 48 Photography sessions are quickly becoming a favorite and I am excited about how popular they have become as well. Those details of the first day with your little one quickly fade and are forgotten as you find a new normal with your little one at h

Fresh 48 & Newborn Photographer to Capture those first details
Without a doubt, my love for Fresh 48 sessions grows each time I am lucky enough to do one. In 2018, I was able to capture five Fresh 48 sessions. I loved them all, but was sad more families didn't want these memories from those first days of life. But so far, in 2019 I have been able to meet 4 new little lives and have 3 more in July, and 2 in August which basically is complete awesome-sauce!!! (one happy Fresh 48 & Newborn photographer here) Newborn Photography is amazi

Washington Oaks Gardens Maternity Photos
Maternity Monday is back! Really, it never left but somehow I had a break in Maternity sessions. That break is over (hooray!) and I have been able to capture some gorgeous momma's for their Maternity Portrait sessions. This was my second Maternity session with this wonderful family. Being able to capture the first year of their little man was awesome. And now, as they await their baby girl, I get to yet again spend another year with them as part of my Watch Me Grow plan.

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

It's been a crazy week! I missed Maternity Monday and even waiting Wednesday on this post thanks to travel and a computer hard drive crash (Praise God I got everything back!).

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

Northeast Fl Maternity Photographer
It's maternity Monday! And even if I did make that up myself, I kinda love it! Why? Because I have been so blessed lately with so many beautiful mamas waiting on new little lives. So, blessed that I only have 5 spots left in 2018 for Maternity Portraits (or Family Portraits)! I can't even believe that myself and I know I owe it all to God and my amazing clients. So, since Mondays can be hard, why not take a moment and see favorites from this beautiful mama (and dad) wait

Maternity Monday by Local Maternity Photographer
It's no secret I simply LOVE being a local Maternity Photographer. I love capturing beautiful mommas waiting for their new little ones to arrive in Jacksonville and St Augustine, FL. I love showing them how amazingly beautiful they are, even when they aren't feeling that way. I love capturing the love between two soon to be parents. I love my job. This session was beautiful even if it was kinda spur of the moment. Capturing a cloudy day, a beautiful momma and even some ph
