Jacksonville Beach FL Baby Photographer: Jake is 6 months!

Remember this little cutie?

Yeah, he's 6 months now! 

I tell ya, I honestly have no clue how these babies grow so quickly. I swear I just took the above photo but apparently not. 

I love it when parents purchase my Baby's First Year package because that means that I know I'll be seeing them grow up their first year and turn from sweet little squishy newborns to walking, talking toddlers. Its one of my favorite things about being a photographer. 

Jake and his family met up with me for his 6 month session out in Jacksonville Beach. I love shooting in that area. There's so many gorgeous little park areas and, of course, the beach. This day though, we just hung out in the park. It was a super cold and windy day so we didn't stay out too long just so Jake didn't get too cold. 

I also took one of my favorite shots from his newborn photos and set up a shot to imitate it so we could see just how much he's grown. Love that shot. (Its the top shots) 

Happy 6 months, Jake! See ya in a few months!

Jacksonville Family Photographer: C & J | Sisters

When one of my past clients contacted me asking for a secret session of her nieces for her sisters birthday, I was totally game! What a cool and awesome gift. Her sister had commented several times on my clients photos she has in her house that I'd done, so my client totally knew what to get her sis. After debating where to do the session, we ultimately decided on the beach. I can't complain, I love beach shoots. That night was no different. The sky was a gorgeous blue and the light was just stunning. The girls were just so much fun to work with and we got some awesome shots that I hope their mom loves for years to come!

Jacksonville Florida Photographer: Before and After

I've had a ton of requests on my facebook page recently for before and after shots. I've shared a few there but thought I'd share some on my blog too. So, I'm hoping to make this a recurring theme on my blog.

Photographers don't just take a photo and slap it on a disc, or print it out for you and call it a day? There's many hours behind the scenes that goes in to making your custom portrait session truly something unique. I don't just take photos, I create art that is meant to be hung on your walls. Any good photographer will do this. They want you to love your photos and spend countless hours perfecting your photos so they are truly memories you will cherish forever.

Here's a quick before and after from a recent beach session. The before, straight out of camera shot is perfectly fine on its own. However, it wasn't fully polished. A little time and viola, artwork meant to hang on the family's wall.

Jacksonville Baby Photograper: Caleb is 6 months

Wow! Time really truly flies by. Caleb is already 6 months old! I have so enjoyed these months getting to know this family and this precious little guy! What a sweetheart he is! I met mom and dad at their maternity session, and they are just so fun to work with. Caleb had such an awesome newborn session and 3 month session, and I was so surprised to see what a big little guy he's become! He even sat for the first time during our session! What a champ!

We decided to shoot at the beach, but unfortunately we weren't able to get many shots near the water, because the water was ALL the way up to the dunes. I've never seen it that far up. We literally had a tiny spit of land to shoot on, and the water still tried to get us. It was insane. And the waves? Holy huge waves!

Check out Mr. C's 6 month session!

Jacksonville Family Photographer R | Beach Family

If there's one place I love to photograph, its the beach! I'm so excited that its back to beach session and people want to shoot there. I mean, ya know, here in Jacksonville, its basically always beach session, but this is the season where beach photos are a must!
I was super excited when the R family contacted me for photos. I've known mom since my days working at the elementary school where her kids went. Back in the day, her daughter was in the school I worked, and her son was younger than my daughter is now. Talk about a reality check when I walked up and saw how many years had actually passed. Wow.

Anyway, enough of that, here's what you guys tune in for. Check out the R family's gorgeous beach session
