Newborn Sneak Peek

Wild Things Baby Announcement

This "Where the Wild Things Are" inspired baby announcement was so much fun to photograph.  Big brother and sisters got into the act as well.  Newborn nursery sessions are so sweet and personal and make great memories.  Let's face it by the time our children are old enough to remember themselves they are no longer in their nursery and sometimes there are no photos to share.  We love doing newborn nursery session in our clients homes and capturing a little of their family life.

Newborn Baby Girl Announcement

There were so many sweet photos to choose from of baby Kendall it was really fun choosing.  Here are her precious announcements.  I'm excited to see which one she chooses.  This is such a sweet and tender time we love to be able to preserve as moms and it slips into toddler way to quickly.  Newborn portraits are a great way to preserve those so sweet baby days!

 

The Faces of Two - A Childhood Character Study

 

I love capturing the personality of a child in portraits. As Moms & Dads, we remember our children in a myriad of ways as they grow and change. Words like sweet, funny, pensive, determined, mischievous, inquisitive, apprehensive and joyful come to mind.  An annual Character Study is a great way to capture these moments, as that seem to slip away so quickly and are replaced by something new. Our Kids Club Birthday Portrait Sessions are perfect for documenting your children as they grow and a fun way to celebrate their special day.  We offer a sweet birthday deal that includes a bonus 8x8 or 8x10 print for the birthday child if booked in your child's birthday month.  Love this cute little second birthday canvas block.

 

 

Cake Smash & First Birthday Photos

 

What is it that we love about First Birthdays - well the cake smash tradition of course.  I know they are messy and for lovers of cake it may seem a travesty to waste a perfectly good cake by smearing it all over the table, floor or a baby face.  But if you are like most parents a cake smash is an endearing sweet memory we hold in our hearts. Here is a collection of photos from a recent session. Looking for some suggestions for a successful Cake Smash photo session? Check out our studio tips below.

 

 

Cake Smash Tip for heading to a photo sessions or photographing yourself.

 

Cake Smash Tip #1  Plan ahead to have a special cake baked just for smashing. Some bakeries make slightly smaller Smash Cakes for Baby's 1st birthday.

Cake Smash Tip #2  Pick something washable to wear yes for you and the baby.  Some icings contain Crisco or butter and do not always wash out easily. 

Cash Smash Tip #3  Take your First Birthday Photos first & plan a change of clothes.

Cake Smash Tip #4  Set up - If you are photographing yourself, a High Chair, a child sized table & chairs, even a blanket in the grass will help contain your little one's cake attack.

Cake Smash Tip #5  Be patient sometimes it takes a while for babies to get into it literally, especially if your baby has never eaten a cupcake or slice of cake.

Cake Smash Tip #6  A wet wash cloth and a towel will come in very handy.

Cake Smash Tip #7  Have a larger plastic bag on the ready for "messy cake" clothes.

Cake Smash Tip #8  Pick a light bright location to capture all the fun or call in the professionals.

Cake Smash Tip #9  Have fun First Birthday and Cake Smashes are childhood milestones you won't want to miss. 

 

 

Baby's First Steps

 

Here is a sneak peek at Saige's First Steps photo session.  What adorable expressions this little one shared with us.

 

Marley's Bench

This precious newborn session was so much fun.  Mom & Dad are on the artsy side and they loved this sweet, simple image of Marley.

Holiday Baby Announcements

It's so exciting to announce the birth of a new baby but especially so during the holidays.  This is a sweet card designed to introduce Marley and send Holiday wishes at the same time.

Baby Brother Newborn Nursery Session

What could be more natural than newborn nursery photos at home?  Big brothers have enough to contend with when a new baby turns up on the scene.  Better to pose for photos at home in a comfortable and familiar setting.  This little chap took a nap while we photographed his new baby brother and when nap time was over he was ready to get into the act.  I love photographing families in their own personal space.

Christmas Card Mini Sessions

I know you are still eating Halloween candy, but it's time to get serious about Christmas Card photos.  Kyds Children's Boutique at 200 First Street in Beaches Town Center is full of really cute Holiday dresses and outfits and we have our holiday designs ready to go.  Thought you might like to see this really simple, sweet one.  And yes, Leighton is wear a dress and accessories from Kyds.  The image is perfect for a fold over Christmas Card, a postcard or an ornament card.  Christmas card photo sessions are a fun family experience.  Imagine getting dresses up in your festive holiday stuff,  laughing and genuinely smiling with your children while someone else takes your family photos.  No running in and out the photo. Fixing clothes, fixing hair, singing "Wheels On The Bus" and taking photos at the same time.  We'll do all that and when we're done you'll actually want to take your kids out for ice cream.  Call me.  We only have one month of sunsets to work with and as you might have guessed some of your friends are already on the calendar.  40 mph winds have calmed so let's get out on the beach. We have mini sessions and studio sessions available too.

Newborn Nursery Photo Shoot

I absolutely love this newborn nursery session.  What a precious little baby girl and her nursery was soo much fun to photograph in.  Mom and Dad were so creative and fun to work with.  Our studio produced a beautiful baby album from this session - a perfect memory book from her first days of life.  Lily will cherish these tender photos with her parents forever.  I encourage new parents to get in the act.  Make sure they have photos taken with their newborns.  Can you image?  I don't have many photos of me with my Mom and none from when I was a baby.  It may seem silly but it's especially important with child number two or three since siblings will likely be in most of their family photographs in the future.

Newborn Baby Portraits - On location in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla

Baby portraits on location - Loved this sweet family portrait session centered around newborn baby brother.  What could be more intimate and unique to you than a newborn portrait session in the privacy of your own home?  Tons of great photos and great memories.  Big brothers and sisters are so much more comfortable in their own space.
