I have always loved Fresh 48 Portrait Sessions. Something about seeing a new little life. A BRAND new little life. Capturing those moments, those details that we forget in our sleep deprived state those first few days. Last year, not many people request Fresh 48 sessions, but this year. This year, I am lucky enough to be able to meet so many new little babes this way. Capture all the love, joy, exhaustion and just the tiny moments before they quickly pass. With a new littl

It's no secret capturing sweet little lives when they are so new. In their home, surrounded by their family who loves them (and even the furry siblings), is one of my favorite things ever. This gorgeous in home Newborn Portrait session was everything. From momma's dress to the little faces this sweet baby girl made. Her furry brothers who made appearances and even dad in uniform. Everything about this session I loved. So, be ready, as there are more images to share as I ha

It's no secret, if you have seen just a handful of my blog posts or shares on Instagram or Facebook , that I LOVE all of my in home Lifestyle Newborn Portrait sessions all around Jacksonville and St Augustine FL. Being a Newborn Photographer is easily the best job ever. I get to snuggle newborns and capture all the love that surrounds them. All the love their family has for them as they made their arrival into the world. And it is amazing. This wonderful family even allow

I realized the other day as I was searching the internet and social media for a possible mentor or workshop to help me better myself for my Lifestyle Newborn portraits that I love so much, that there just isn't a lot out there. And what I mean by that, is there are not a lot of photographers who DO this kind of Newborn Photography right now and may be wondering, "what is Lifestyle Newborn Photography anyway?". Newborn Photography as a whole is a relative new genre. It didn'

It's Welcome Wednesday! And I get to share the sweetest of sessions. It's not news that I love being able to be a Newborn Photographer in Jacksonville and St Augustine. Capturing the newest of lives, all of the love surrounding them, all the tiny details....that makes my heart happy. Being able to capture some of that within the first 48 hours of life? Even better. Fresh 48 in hospital newborn portraits are always amazing. Every time I am blessed enough to go to a hospita

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

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,

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. But, the secret is, even if you haven't finished moving into your new

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

I post last week, about a gorgeous Fresh 48 session of a sweet baby girl... You can see all that in hospital Fresh 48 HERE. But, a week later, I was able to meet her again and capture such sweetness and a few special things per her mom's request. A couple I will be adding to my flow for certain. So, get over the HUMP of Hump Day and enjoy sweet Willa-Grace's lifestyle newborn photography session.... Happy Wednesday! Melody

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

It has been a busy spring of new little lives. And this sweet boy makes it even better! My Watch Me Grow families as part of their Baby Plan capturing baby's first year, are always amazing. Having already captured Knox's Maternity and Fresh 48 session, this in home Newborn Photography session in home made Mother's Day weekend even better for me. So, make Tuesday (that feels like a Monday) even better with favorites from this Lifestyle Newborn Portrait session near Jacksonvi

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

Recently I have been SOOOOOO blessed with meeting some new little lives within hours of their entrance to this world. As a Fresh 48 newborn photographer it is making my YEAR! Fresh 48 Sessions are quickly becoming a BIG fave of mine (ok, let's be honest, anything dealing with a sweet little life is a fave). These, in Hospital Newborn Portrait sessions capture the details of those first hours we forget about so quickly. When family members are there, capturing moments with g

It's no secret I love Fresh 48 sessions. And newborn sessions. Basically all thing baby

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

Often, when people hear I do "In Home Lifestyle Newborn Portraits" they assume that my clients all have homes with amazing natural

It's been a busy Spring with so many gorgeous mamas waiting to meet new little lives, and I couldn't be happier. Melissa's St Augustine FL Maternity Session was gorgeous. Sunrise by the water and empty streets made it perfection. Peaceful sunrise over the intracoastal for maternity photos Meeting this little man was just as wonderful. If you have been following me for awhile you know I love newborns. I love dogs. So when a sweet little newborn has a fuzzy big brother. I am
