St Augustine Florida Family Photographer
Family Photography is definitely one of my most popular photoshoots. Even after Fall (aka family photo season), being able to meet up and photograph wonderful families makes me so happy. It may have been a little chilly, but Emily styled her family perfectly for it and add in some running and lots of hugs and everyone stayed warm. As a St Augustine Florida family photographer, I know that styling is a BIG part of knowing how your images will turn out. I am currently working o

Outdoor Newborn Photography
Newborn photos DO NOT have to be indoors in a studio or at home. They also DO NOT have to be within the first 14 days of life. You can capture beautiful newborn images outside with 4-5 week old babies (truly even up to 3 months) and still get all that sweetness. Bonus, older babies give more eye contact and sometimes smile more which makes for beautiful photos. Make your Friday better with some newborn sweetness from this recent outdoor Twin Outdoor Newborn Photography sessio

Lifestyle Family Photography in St Augustine Florida
Normally, as a family photographer in Jacksonville and St Augustine Florida, when clients as for family photos they mean the beach or a park. BUT, when a client wants a Lifestyle Family Photoshoot in their home? That's awesome. What do you need for a Lifestyle Family session at home? One (or two) rooms with a large window and good light. That's it. Nothing more. This whole session was done in one room of their home they had just moved into and still had boxes everywhere. This

Beach Family Photography is a staple here in Florida. Because we have amazing beaches.

No secret around here as a maternity photographer, that a gorgeous sunrise PLUS a gorgeous momma to be makes for insanely beautiful photos.
