Sisters...

I've known these little girls well before they ever made their entrance to this world...and I've watched them grow from chubby babies to beautiful little girls. Their mommy Angela and I went to school together and still keep in touch. I was just thrilled to be able to photograph her sweet girls...and what's even better, is that they have a little brother on the way in just a few weeks!

These shots were taken in their backyard...

So excited to meet baby Mitchell!

These are my favorite "family shots".....capturing pure joy.

Isn't this what you want to remember about their childhood??

Family...

I first met this little guy while taking his preschool portraits! So 6 months later, here we are! We did their family shoot at Alpine Groves Park...Garrett is such a sweet boy and I know his mommy will just ADORE this shot!

Showing me his muscles....



Their first family portraits.... and worth the wait!

A Great Idea...

Do you ever have the problem where you just can't narrow down your choices?!? I know I do!

A 20x20 collage is a great way to fit 8-9 images all on one single print...

and they are completely customizable too!

Collages & storyboards also make a great grandparent gift!

This little angel's grandmother is just going to LOVE this!

Looking for a Wedding Photographer??

For those of you who don't know me well....I don't do weddings. I can't handle the stress. Babies and children are my passion...and despite the beauty and romance behind these images, I just can't bring myself to do it. (Except for that one wedding I did for a friend...that doesn't count!) But it's your lucky day if you are looking for a photographer for your big day! My sweet friend and mentor Krista is a FANTASTIC photographer...these are some images I borrowed from her blog so you could see how great her work is. She lives in Savannah, but grew up in Jax and travels back regularly to visit family and for shoots....so check her out!

At the Beach...

A session at the beach with the P Family! It was a perfect day...right before sunset.

Their beautiful little girl Emma had a blast and wasn't afraid of the waves one bit....as you'll see!

Another Day At The Park...

Another shoot at Alpine Groves....and what a work-out! This cute little guy can move! He just conveniently lost his balance and plopped into these bushes for me to catch this sweet shot...and then he was off again...exploring every square inch of this park. I like to think of these sort of shoots as "exercise"!



So sweet and happy!

And here is baby sister Caroline...she's not getting around very quickly yet, so I was able to get some really precious shots of her....love that smile!

Family Pictures...

I had another family shoot this morning out at Alpine Groves with this sweet family and their beautiful angel! Fall has finally set in here in North Florida, and it was FREEZING down by the river... so Miss Emma was not happy with us! But despite her best efforts of protest, I was able to get some shots of her looking absolutely precious! It's really not that hard to do when you have a baby as cute as she is! Don't they look like the sweetest little family?!?
