I had the pleasure of photographing a first birthday session with this cutie Sasha last week. As I was editing these I called my husband over to look and he said, “Wow, she looks like a doll.” How true is that – and coming from a guy even! We did the shoot at the family home in Viera. She was …
The Rutherford’s
Before I meet a new client for a session I usually do a quick scan of all our emails to get a good handle on everything we have discussed and just a general feeling of the people I’m about to finally meet (assuming we haven’t met before.) When I did my search for emails from the Rutherford family, I realized …
Baby Ethan
I photographed this sweet newborn last week in his home and he was so content during the whole session (well until he got hungry!) He was just at 10 days old I believe which is great because I always recommend if you are scheduling a newborn session that you do it in the first ten days. His mommy had called …
Baby Slade and Marianna
I had the pleasure of photographing baby Slade and baby Marianna recently. They are the cutest little cousins! I also have all these new baby props that I couldn’t resist one day while shopping on Etsy and although I am not a fan of “props,” this is one exception! I have three children of my own and my “baby” is …
Welcome Gabriel Slade
My dear friends Gina and Gabe welcomed their first child today, Gabriel Slade, early in the wee hours of the morning. I was on point to shoot the labor and delivery and somehow missed the call and woke up to the news that he was already here. The delivery was very fast and I’m so happy for this healthy little …
The Strand Family
I met with the Strand family before Christmas in Melbourne Beach to take their family photos before dad is deployed and while they are still a family of three (mom is expecting!) What a cute family and this little one is precious! Can’t wait to photograph the maternity and newborn for the next baby! I want to say too how …
I met up with the Siniscal family last week at Ryckman park. There are a few reasons this family session was so fun. First of all, I grew up 2 doors down from Brandy and second I shot her wedding portraits right here in the same park a few years ago. I haven’t seen them since then because they live …
Baby Raemi!
I photographed beautiful baby Raemi last week – finally! We didn’t get to do these as early as planned because our scheduled session was during the week my whole family had the flu – and that’s no good for babies! So, we had to reschedule but it turned out just fine because what a cutie she is! I can’t get …
Baby Asha
I photographed Asha’s newborn pictures last week and what a cutie she is. She was a premie and even though she was around a month old at our shoot, she was still tiny, like 5-6 lbs. She has an older brother, Ravi, who you’ll see below. He is only 15 mths and I had photographed his newborn as well so …
Caleb and Ethan
I photographed Caleb and his baby brother Ethan at their home in Malabar last weekend. I wasn’t that far from my house yet felt like I was in the country! Seeing Caleb’s enthusiasm for the ducks, goats, birds and just nature in general made me wish I was raising my family there! The first image above is an example of …
Baby Noah
Oh how I love babies! I love them now more than ever. I think the appreciation must just grow stronger as your own children grow older and you realize how precious that time is. There is only that short window of time where there are no “time outs” no “stop whining, eat your dinner, be nice to your sister…” Just …
Suman Family
I met the Suman Family at their home in West Melbourne last week for some family pictures. The two little boys were so cute and 18 months apart just like my first two children are so it really brought back some memories for me. With part of the family in town from Jacksonville, I could tell they were happy to …
Caitlin – studio session
Caitlin is one! Read the prior post for more info on this little sweetie. Her mommy owns a business called Sweet Baby Cake Designs which offers awesome baby products for moms who want a little something unique, fashionable and functional. I love the blanket bag, the personalized wipes case and those thingy’s that attach the blanket to your stroller so …
The O’Bryant Children
My good friend brought her children over to Melbourne from the Bradenton, Fl area for some photography and hang out time. We decided to trade services and she will be redecorating our little camper (yes the one which recently crushed Dana’s finger,) with new curtains and cushion covers. I’m so excited for it to look festive and cute the next …
The Miksis Family
I met the Miksis family (really three families in addition) on Melbourne Beach last week. They were all together from various places around the country. We had to cancel our original session due to rain and actually met the next evening just after another storm. The beach is extra beautiful after rain. We wanted to get some group photos and …
Baby Chance
Chris and Lisa’s baby arrived (see their maternity pics here) and I came to their home in Rockledge, Florida last week for a newborn photography session once he was around a week old. Chance was born somewhere around 6lbs and is just such a sweet baby. Most of the newborn photography I do includes a naked baby so there is …
Baby Cason
I shot baby Cason’s photos this past Sunday in Port St. John. He was around 10 days old then. I recommend for newborn photography that we schedule the session around a week old. This way the infant is still easy to work with, hasn’t gotten cranky yet and probably no baby acne yet either! Since I also shot the maternity …
