Lifestyle Newborn Photographer
Newborn Photography has been a love of my mine for years. Being a Lifestyle Newborn Photographer quickly became my favorite form of capturing these sweet, new little lives. Being able to capture the nursery, the family at home, allow toddlers breaks to play where they are comfortable. It's all perfection. A few years ago, I photographed this wonderful family's first daughter. One of the pins from that session on Pintrest has been viewed by over 18k people. Which is INSANE. B

Newborn Photography at home
Newborn Photography has had a special place in my heart for years. Maybe it's because I don't have real newborn photos of my girls. I mean, I have photos. And I did my best "Pinterest fail" with my oldest on our pool table with a pink blanket underneath her, but I was definitely not a pro at the time and not even using a good camera. But I do have those photos and that's what matters. Do I wish Lifestyle Newborn photography was a thing back then? 100% yes. Or that I had alrea

Newborn Photography in the comfort of home
What? Back to back Newborn Photography blog posts? Well, the quarantine indeed brought a baby boom and I couldn't be more excited. This was the second sweet baby girl I have photographed for this sweet family and she was just as precious as their first. Did you know I offer Petite Newborn sessions? Shorter sessions and they don't include a video slideshow, but they can still capture the details of your little one in a short one hour session. To see more of my lifestyle Newbor

Taking Newborn Photos Outdoors
2020 was......well it was. BUT I think a lot of us can say we learned a few things. One thing I learned, you can still capture beautiful images of a family at an outdoor newborn session. Before that as a Jacksonville and St Augustine newborn photographer, I thought you had to do either posed in the studio newborn sessions or Lifestyle Newborn Photography (my jam). Then, everything changed. Many parents had these precious gifts of little lives arrive, but didn't feel comfortab

Lifestyle Newborn Photography
It's no secret if you have followed my blog, that I LOVE Lifestyle Newborn Photoshoots. Like, I love newborn photos, but I realized a few years ago that a relaxed, lifestyle session with baby led posing was truly how I wanted my business to be. I even refer people who want a more posed type session to other photographers, because that's not my love. And that's OK. This was my third newborn session with this wonderful family and the amount of adorable siblings captures I got i

Newborn Photography in the comfort of home
Oh how I missed capturing sweet little lives. When you say you are a Newborn Photographer, you kinda need to photograph newborns. Even though I have to do things a bit differently. Being able to do a newborn photoshoot is always amazing. I was supposed to also capture a Fresh 48 session for this wonderful family and sadly that couldn't happen, but their Newborn Photos turned out amazing. Throw in a precious little pup and photogenic parents and you have the makings for an ama

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

Fresh 48 Newborn photos done in hospital
It's not secret Fresh 48 Portraits have become one of my favorite types of photography. Capturing those special moments of Newborn Photography in a new way. These, newborn photos done in hospital capture those details of the first 24 to 48 hours after birth. Details that quickly fade from our memories. So, what better way to improve a Monday then for some sweet newborn photos at St Vincent's Riverside as I share a few of my favorites from this beautiful Fresh 48 Photography

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

So Fresh, So New the timeless beauty of Fresh 48 Photography
Capturing little lives, less than 24 hours old in the hospital is basically....amazing. (I use that word a lot. Not sorry.) Newborn Photography and Lifestyle Newborn Photography have had my heart for awhile, and now that more and more people are interested in a Fresh 48 Photography session I couldn't be happier. This little one is one of my newest Watch Me Grow babes. Making his arrival 3 weeks early, but at over 7lbs he was definitely a healthy and sweet little nugget. Wi

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
