Kayley’s 1st Birthday

This little girl's dad used to be a professional photographer and is friends with my photography mentor, so I knew I had to bring my A-game as I always do. But this time I was a little nervous... all the way through the edits! But when I got the "they look great" text, my anxiety was replaced by satisfaction.

Kayley is an adorable little girl, and she celebrated her first birthday surrounded by a group of family and friends who were just as happy as she was. Her mom had decorated the room beautifully with a monkey theme, and she enjoyed a music class with her friends. Happy 1st birthday Kayley! Thanks for having me there to capture these moments for you!

Saxxen’s 3rd Birthday

I was lucky enough to photograph Saxxen's older brother Hayden's birthday a few months back, so I had plenty of time to look forward to Saxxen's 3rd birthday. They have a great group of family and friends who celebrated with petting farm animals and face painting. The kids had a blast, as did I, capturing their fun!

        

Vera, Pedro, Isabella, Kylie, and Amelia

This family was referred to me by another family whose portraits I have taken.  I love referrals, b/c it usually means the client has seen my work and already expects something great, which makes me that much more determined to deliver!

I love their bright colors and sunset lighting to match at the beach. We had low tide and calm waters, which made for some fun seaside photos towards the end of our shoot.

     

Christine’s Baby Shower

Christine's baby shower has been on my calendar for a while, which means I've had plenty of time to look forward to the event. I arrived to a well lit room beautifully decorated with a pink and grey theme. There were many family and friends there to shower this mommy and daddy to be with love and gifts for their baby girl on the way. Lots of laughter and hugs were shared, and I was glad to be there to capture it all!
Congrats Christine and Jason, and I can't wait to see you again for your maternity portraits in a few weeks!

Renee, Jarid, Kailey, Mia, and Charlotte: South Florida Family Photographer

I love the bright color of these girls' dresses, and the sunny glow of the backlighting in mom's hair!  We started off this session with some gently posed portraits, and finished with some fun candids.  This family was very easy going and fun to work with.  They trusted me to get the kinds of shots they were looking for, which translated to them looking relaxed and comfortable in front of the camera.
