Local Lifestyle Newborn Photographer
I LOVE being a local lifestyle newborn photographer. I mean LOVE. Like I couldn't love a job more. Photography has my heart, but newborn photography is just special. Those little lives, fresh and new to the world, surrounded by love..... man. As a St Augustine Florida Photographer I have met many amazing families on the beach, at beautiful parks, all over. But newborn photos at home are always favorites of mine. So, make your Monday better with a few of my favorites from this

Top Newborn Photography Images of 2021
How is it almost 2022? I feel like I am still processing 2020, much less 2021 and here I am planning 2022. Even though there were ups and downs, I had to say 2021 gave my some AMAZING clients and beautiful sessions so choosing my top newborn photography images was hard. So much so it was SO hard to narrow it down to only 10 favorite images from each category. So, know if I could list all of my favorites this blog post would be SOOOOOOO much longer. (granted, some honorable me

Local Newborn Photographer that brings everything to you at home
Newborn Photography is pretty much pure, sweet awesomeness. I don't see, how being a Newborn Photographer isn't the best job in the world. Capturing all the love around a newborn baby. Older siblings, furry siblings, all of it. When families ask me back to capture their 2nd baby I am always super honored. Unfortunately, we weren't able to do a Fresh 48 session like we did with big sister, we were able to do a lifestyle newborn photography session and capture all the love. So,

In home Newborn Photographer
I have been SO blessed with so many amazing newborn photography clients so far this year. Each and every time I am allowed to capture such special moments, such a momentous thing as welcoming a new baby to their first home, I am deeply humbled. As a in home newborn photographer, capturing the details and through into the nurseries you design, the love and silliness of a new big brother, or the gentleness of the furry siblings, I love it all. So, take a moment and check out a

Lifestyle Newborn Photography
Newborn Photography done at home is definitely one of my favorite kinds of sessions. I LOVE that the older siblings can relax at home, that furry siblings can easily be included, that rooms and areas of the home that are special to the family can be incorporated. All of these things. This was my 2nd newborn photoshoot at home for this family and with big brother rocking all of it, you can't help but assume it was perfection. Scroll to check out a few of my favorites from this

Lifestyle Newborn Photographer
It is no secret I absolutely LOVE being a lifestyle newborn photographer in Jacksonville and St Augustine Florida. I LOVE capturing these little lives in their homes, their nursery or even some of the beautiful locations around town. I miss being a Fresh 48 Photographer and cannot wait until I can do that again. This newborn photography session was supposed to be a Fresh 48 session. But sadly, I couldn't be in the hospital so we switch to a Classic Newborn session and it stil

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

Newborn Photography at home
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

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

A In Home Newborn Photographer brings everything to you

Being welcomed into a client's home in Jacksonville Fl or St Augustine FL to capture their newest little life and all the love that surrounds them is truly amazing. Being an in home newborn photographer has always been a passion, but when I figured out this in home newborn photos were my jam, it just made my heart happy.

Lifestyle Newborn Photography to Welcome them home
I can't say enough how much I LOVE the Lifestyle Newborn Photography has become so popular. That new parents have realized how wonderful it is to be able to capture the details of the nursery, the excitement, love and joy that surrounds a new little life. To be able to be comfortable, change clothes easily and know that the images from your newborn photos will be something that you can love forever. This sweet baby girl is apart of my Watch Me Grow plan. So I get to see her

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

Newborn Photos always make me smile and hopefully they do you too. This was my first session with my new camera and abil
