If you have been following me for any amount of time, you know that I love my Watch Me Grow families. You also, may have noticed I am loving Lifestyle, in home Family Portrait sessions. So, when I have an Watch Me Grow family, with a beautiful old home, who loves Lifestyle Family Photography..... I'm pretty much the happiest photographer ever. People often think of the beach or a park for their family photos or milestone sessions, BUT if you love your home, whether historic

I know, I have said it SOOOO many times. But it's so true. My Watch Me Grow families are amazing and I am always a little sad when their little one turns one and our sessions are over. This sweet baby girl and her parents were amazing and SO much fun! Sara was always full of ideas and it cracked me up when she would have props at our sessions to use, that always turned out AMAZING! Miss Willa-Grace was a doll from birth and every session made me smile. Even now, just thinki

Summer always tends to lead us towards beautiful sunrises. Even though it means really early mornings in the summer, I never regret watching a beautiful sunrise (I did get up at 4:15a to make sure I saw all of the sunrise in Maine, so I'm committed, lol). This wonderful family made a weekend of it, coming in from out of town for their beautiful sunrise session. It was worth it completely though! So, make Monday a little better with some beauty and favorites from these sunri

When you can beat the heat and meet an adorably cute little man, I'd say these Summer Family Portraits were a success! This sweet family met me at one of my favorite parks for Petite Family Portrait sessions. The colors mom choose were perfect and their little man could not have been cuter!!!! It's wonderful to meet new families, laugh, photography chubby hands and feet and call all of it "work". Being a Family Photographer in Jacksonville is pretty amazing. So, stay cool

It's Beach Season. Beach days, beach nights. Whether just on vacation or living a vacation everyday, the beach is where to be in the summer. Being a Family Photographer in St Augustine and Jacksonville FL I often get to see families year after year. But it's always special when a family on vacation contacts me for beach family portraits. This wonderful family had a vacation week in St Augustine Beach, FL and we missed the rain and were able to capture some beautiful images

It's no secret I simply LOVE my Watch ME Grow clients. Also no secret, my love for the beach. So, when we are planning a First Birthday session for one of my amazing families, and they are up for the beach, I am one happy photographer. This beach location is one of my favorites and Brandi did amazing at coordinating what her family wore. All of it worked together beautifully to make a perfect sunset beach family photos near Jacksonville, FL. Happy Monday! Melody

It's not secret my baby plan families always end up having a special place in my heart. Each session from this sweet little guy's Watch Me Grow session has been a session I LOVED! His parents always seem to just overflow with love for each other and their baby boy and its makes these sessions everything I dream of. From the moment I walked into their home for his newborn session I loved their old Victorian. So, when Meghan suggested we do the 4 month session at home, I kne

I know, Monday's are usually for maternity Monday, but today it's all about Family. Capturing milestones throughout our children's lives. Having Family Portraits done for the first time. Or the first time in a long time. As a Family Photographer in Jacksonville, FL I am blessed to meet many wonderful families. All too often, the mom will say to me, "We have never had family portraits", or "we haven't had family photos since my baby was a baby" and said "baby" is now a teen.

I know, I have said it before.... and I say it alot....BUT, it's SO true. My Watch Me Grow families are amazing. Being able to capture all the milestone's of a Baby's First Year is amazing. AND...St Augustine, FL is amazing. Not sure if I have said that last one before, but I do love that city. So, anytime clients want a St Augustine portrait session I am 100% in! I got to catch up with this wonderful family to capture Mr. K's 8 Month session and it couldn't have been mo

Watching sweet little lives grow throughout their first year, and even year after year as they become little people is pretty amazing. Definately a perk of being a Jacksonville Beach Family Photographer in Jacksonville and St Augustine. But, being able to capture my family as they grow....even better. This sweet girl is my youngest niece. An absolute doll, who may be the happiest baby ever. And you can't help but love her. So, make this Wednesday a bit better with some fav

It's always a happy yet, crazy day when a Watch Me Grow baby turns one. Especially, when that little one is one of your best friend's baby girl. First Birthday parties are mostly for the family. To celebrate this little life. And Miss Stella's parents went big with all their family coming in from out of town for the party. So, of course, multi-generational portraits were in order. And, since Stella's birthday is close to her furry older brother Jack, there may have been some

It's no secret I love my Watch Me Grow families. Being able to see little ones grow and change over their first year. Even being able to see how their older siblings grow is basically, amazing. Being a Baby Photographer and local Family Photographer in Jacksonville and St Augustine Fl is pretty much awesome. And these sweet girls prove that even more. Miss M has been the sweetest every session since we met at her Fresh 48 Portrait session. Her big sister, has been a rockstar

During my newborn session today the mama asked me how long I have been a photographer. I said, "Well, I started in 2010, but didn't really fully develop until 2012 and even since then, I have been growing." See, in 2010 my only clients really were family. A few friends. And a couple amazing families who, God bless them, gave me a shot. This was one of those amazing families. 8 years and 3 kids later, I am still blessed enough to call them clients and friends. And to still

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
