Baby girl E

Baby girl "E" is here! Her mom is a wonderful photog and didn't need the standard newbie shots. So we did a lifestyle family/newborn shoot, which is my favorite. I prefer the candid, tender moments versus a lot of props. I absolutely love these photos! Nothing sweeter than seeing first time parents cuddle their new baby. It's a moment in time that I wish we could just freeze. And how about that October light coming through the trees! It's perfection. Love this time of year! Congrats to Karen and Andy and soak up those newborn cuddles!

Baby Lila

My childhood friend Jamie contacted me to capture her baby girl's newborn photos as well as a few family shots. I did big brother's newborn pics a couple of years ago and it was so good to see this adorable family again. We had some challenges with this session: crazy weather which came on suddenly and brought a lot of wind, as well as a newbie that didn't want to sleep! So we ended up doing day 1 and day 2 photo shoots. I'm glad we did- because day 2, we had nice, warm weather & we captured some amazing photos of baby Lila. She went into that milk coma that us photogs really love :) I always make sure my clients are happy- even if that means meeting up 2 different days!

Baby "K"

Kristin is one of my returning clients- I photographed her gorgeous wedding last year at The Hilltop. So I was so happy to hear that she was expecting her first baby! I loaded up my equipment on a chilly winter day in February and off I went to meet little Miss K! What a cutie and I have to admit: it definitely gave me baby fever! Enjoy the new baby snuggles!

Military themed maternity & newbie

Stephanie contacted me to do her maternity session- she was very specific with what she wanted: her husband was deployed overseas and she really wanted to use some of his military things i.e. his hat, coat, tags, etc. I love when clients have their own ideas to incorporate into their session! We ended up doing the maternity session at her house and it went very well! A couple of months later: baby D was born. How sweet is he? I absolutely adore the way the 2 sessions went and the special touches we used to honor his daddy overseas. Enjoy!

Baby Sophia

Baby Sophia is here! Her mom, Elvira was MORE than ready to meet her! Sophia was only a week old when I did her session -- and she was perfect. I have to say- newborn sessions make me nervous because they are unpredictable and it takes a lot of patience to photograph them-- something I lack- but working on! :) Sophia was so great-she took a couple of breaks to feed and back to sleep she went! We were able to use her beautiful princess-themed nursery for a few images, including the GIANT teddy bear! So cute! Congrats to the beaming parents! I can't wait to photograph this "little princess" at Halloween!

Baby Maddie

Our good friends Liz and Adam just had their baby girl! Yay! We gave them a few weeks to settle in and then we made the 4-hr drive to visit them over a weekend. Of course, while visiting I had to take time out for a photo session with baby M. She cooperated very well and we got some great shots. One of my favorites is the image of her laying across Sadie, their dog. So adorable! We had a great visit- and can't wait to see her again soon in November!

Welcome Cooper!

Welcome to the world Cooper! On a beautiful Sunday, I spent several hours with this little guy and his parents at their gorgeous home. Check out that mural on his nursery wall- fabulous! I may have to hire them to come do one at my house! LOL Dad is a fireman for the town of Orange Park, and we had fun using some of his equipment. I love personalizing the sessions in ways like this. So special and memorable! Congrats to Jamie and Trevor on their precious new addition!

Baby Kennedy

Meet little Miss Kennedy! This one is going to be feisty! She didn't want to nap for us! It took a lot of nursing and coaxing but she finally fell asleep for a little while. Her mom had the most adorable baby hats for her- thanks to Etsy! I loved her nursery with its soothing grey striped walls and details with pink giraffes. Can you believe this was my 1st baby girl session? All of the newbie shoots I've done in the past were ALL boys! Yay for girls! Sugar and spice..... :) Congrats to her lovely parents!
