Third session with this gorgeous family, another story created, full of priceless memories. Yes it will be hard to choose just a few for holiday cards but these photos will be cherished forever. My favorite way to showcase so many adorable moments is with an album. I buy mine at zno.com, the quality is great plus family and guests love looking through them.
We have been taking photos of this family for many years starting with first pregnancy announcement. This year we got to meet new addition to family DJ named after his brother Dudley who was included in every shoot. Please bring your dogs to session, it makes us happy and the gallery is even cuter. October is rainy this year, it’s been stressful planning almost every single shoot with crazy clouds but this day was sunny and gorgeous.
September was full of baby boys and they were so good to me. This cutie slept the whole time and the session was fast and super sweet. Beautiful memories, can’t wait to see him again and capture more milestones. After 15 years in business it’s still shocking how time flies and how fast these babies grow up. All newborn shoots are done on location at client homes, we bring the props, making it stress free for parents!
It’s a season of newborn boys for us! This little guy was awake the whole time and didn’t fuss at all. Looked at camera, a natural model. Gorgeous boy, we are so thankful for the sweetest repeat clients. This was our 4th session with this family and we always have so much fun. Lately clients have been telling us how convenient it is that we bring newborn studio to their homes, make everything so easy and stress free, yay.
Best part of this newborn photo shoot was big brother because he smiled and was so happy to pose for us! This session included studio baby part and family photos which could take up to 3 hours depending on how well kids do through posing. Beautiful memories! We bring all the newborn props, even outfits for mom and siblings. The family photos are lifestyle around the house, candid and timeless.
This was our third session with this gorgeous family and I can’t wait to see them all again soon for another newborn shoot! Love working with repeat clients such an honor to capture important memories and just life because it all goes by way too fast. This was not an easy shoot lol we chose nature park but that was a big no no because of impossible to deal with mosquitos so we left for beach and captured magic. We did get great shots at the forest but learned a lesson. Beach is ideal option during very hot months. Mom had gorgeous outfits and I brought some too, stunning gallery!
Another cute newborn gallery with doggies! My two favorite genres. Holding tiny baby and hanging out with adorable pets, that’s why I still love my age many years later. They say do something you love and you will never work a day in your life. No job is easy but this little boy was the best newborn model, awake, happy and we were done with posing part so fast. Also I have never (sorry clients lol) worked with two such well behaved dogs. As soon as I was told to say to magic words grandma and turkey they were both posing looking right at camera. Ok now look at how cute they all are, awe perfection!
I’m not going to lie, this was not an easy session for us and parents lol One child loved being in the water and I’m sure for first time clients it felt like we didn’t get the shots. I delivered 122 photos that I adore, promised 50 and parents joked it will be maybe 10 good ones. Sometimes I wonder how we get so many amazing shots but also have confidence that after 15 years in business there is usually a perfect gallery full of candid and posed. This is why I just can’t offer minis, tried many times but failed because client’s want them all.
4th session with this beautiful family! The weather was a little crazy on this day, the wind was strong but I always say it adds life to photos. Moving hair and fabric just looks so beautiful but there is always a different location on days like these which is far from beach and won’t be as windy. This is a perfect age for candid moments and as a parent those are the images I cherish most. Don’t let anything stop you from capturing your family and very fast growing children :) We also did mom and dad part at the end when kids were super done and it was so sweet and so important. I have been doing this often lately this way clients get two sessions in one family and romantic pictures how amazing to have all these memories!
This is our second session with this gorgeous family it’s always fun to work with kids that enjoy the beach so much. We moved from cold weather and know what it’s like to visit tropical paradise during winter. It was joy capturing memories of this family just having fun by the water. Some kids don’t love sand so it’s hit or miss, parents have to plan according to where their child feels more comfortable. Last year we chose nature park which was a big hit too plus my clients know kids love us :) most of the time we get smiles even from most serious clients lol
I love seeing repeat clients and capturing memories for their growing family. So happy to see excited big brother whose newborn photos were also done by me. This is a very special, meaningful job. Photographers offer product that you will never regret. One day all we will have is pictures, moments that you can never get back. Newborn photography is very important, it goes by way too fast. Baby was a dream and family was visiting just to be included in this unforgettable moment.
This session was styled by me, mom and daughters dresses are from out client closet and dad wore complimentary colors. I love styling shoots and always suggest neutrals because the tones are timeless and do not distract from clients. We have suggestions for clothing choices on our website and if you choose to wear something from our closet it can make planning a lot easier and take the stress away. This photo shoot included couple portraits with mom and dad which will be on a separate blog along with glamour pics of mom. Stunning!
For this in home newborn session mom requested soft pinks, neutrals and vintage theme. We bring the newborn studio to you, client’s love this convenient part of our service. It was baby only shoot and lasted about an hour. The timing depends on how baby is doing and age, first two weeks is recommended because babies are sleepy and easy to pose. Later after two weeks I recommend more lifestyle posing and less props like baskets plus the baby is more likely to be awake. Please be careful with who you hire to handle your newborn, it takes a lot of safety education to work with tiny babies and nowadays there are many options that might be affordable but very unsafe.
Love this gorgeous family! Amazing milestone, smiley baby and so adorable. We had so much fun, changed outfits for variety, which is something we offer to all clients. Let me know if you’re interested and I will bring clothes from our client closet or if you don’t want to plan your wardrobe I can style your session with our pieces. I go for earthy tones which create the best timeless results plus it takes the stress off for busy parents. Beach is always my favorite location, unless the weather is not ideal, if we can’t reschedule at home cozy shoot is an option or if it’s too windy for beach there is a nature park that we love.
Posting my family on the blog for the first time because the session was styled and shot by me, see little remote in my hands on some photos lol We rented amazing studio space in Miami called Mint Room, they have many options to choose from. Pay by hour and we can meet you there for stunning background. This is our second time here and I think it’s such a great option for clients. If you book the studio there is no worries about weather and rescheduling. For those that book us annually this is such a good location for change of scenery, easy to book and hassle free process.
So adorable and how great it is to have siblings, having fun everywhere including family photo shoot. The weather was perfect as most of the time during this time of year and that’s when everyone books. During the winter months Florida is not so hot in fact amazing in my opinion and booking months in advance is very recommended, we hate to say no to inquiries but also can’t book everyone. The amount of photos I include take hours of editing so booking a few sessions per week is the only way but the clients are always so happy with these priceless memories.
From newborn sessions to annual photos, adore this amazing family! We have so much fun with our repeat clients and so thankful that so many choose us every year. The girls are so adorable, different personalities and I’m glad we captured that well again. Our sessions are never rushed, it’s about telling a story with photos, capturing personalities and not forcing kids to pose but simply having a good time.
Third shoot with this family which included family portraits with pet photography, milestone and cake smash. Most galleries have over 100 pictures and after many years in business this is how I want to work, include all images. When I offered proofing there was always the same comment “so hard to choose, I love them all” and so we went all inclusive. Will I still offer minis? Yes but not during our busy season and will always recommend a longer shoot for best results. It’s cooling down in Florida and I’m catching up on editing, big list of the most adorable galleries.
Crazy how one year makes a difference, how fast kids grow up and some families have been working with us for years so looking back at older galleries I’m in shock, time flies. Photos will be all you have of moments where you’re a little or a lot older. It really is the best investment and for me it’s a job that will always have a purpose, which is so important. Love seeing repeat clients every year, adore seeing the kids having fun at the shoot. During busy season we get a lot of inquiries about minis, which we do not offer because I can’t get the kind of shots I aim for in such a short time specially with kids. Plus no client has ever been unhappy with getting all images from session which is about 100+ lol
I’m so lucky to see our repeat clients for Holiday sessions every year for many years! I am not good with minis for many reasons, it’s just not enough time to have kids relax in front of camera. I love to capture personalities, laughter and connection and my style of photography is for longer shoots. How cute is this family, love the holiday outfits and happy puppy posing like a pro. It’s gorgeous outside and we are sooooo busy.
