Tropical Clementine & Eucalyptus Themed Brunch Baby Shower at the Colony Hotel in Palm Beach, Florida

On March 2nd, 2024, I had the pleasure of capturing Allison’s tropical clementine & eucalyptus-themed baby shower. It was a breathtaking event at the iconic Colony Hotel in Palm Beach, Florida. White, scalloped umbrellas filled the scene with bistro lights hanging above. White orchids, lush green monstera leaves, muted eucalyptus branches & bright orange clementines filled the tables. The focal point of the event space gave a tropical bohemian vibe with rattan chairs, detailed signage, and eye-catching balloon art.

The stunning mother-to-be: Allison wore a blue, smocked dress with the cutest blue shoes! The brunch baby shower was filled with beautiful smiling faces from around the globe—all there to shower Allison with love as she prepared to welcome sweet baby Kai! It was a gorgeous day in Palm Beach for her outdoor brunch baby shower! I was honored to document the elegant affair!

Allison, wishing you all the best as you step into this beautiful new season of motherhood! Thank you for the pleasure of capturing your stunning baby shower!

Amber + Curtis | Lifestyle Beach Maternity Photos at Hanna Park in Jacksonville, Florida

On March 20th, 2021, I had the pleasure of capturing my gorgeous sister-in-law’s maternity photos during her visit to Jacksonville, Florida for her baby shower. Her hubby, Curtis, also joined in! Their session took place at Kathryn Abbey Hanna Park in Jacksonville, Florida. This North Florida beach park was such a stunning change of scenery for me! There was Spanish moss everywhere and we had the beach nearly all to ourselves, because it was FREEZING and extremely WINDY!! We barely made it on to the beach before we had to turn around! It’s definitely something this South Florida girl isn’t used to in March… or any month for that matter! But it made for some dreamy beach maternity photos!

Luckily, we decided to start their session under the Spanish moss and were protected from most of the wind! Their first set of photos reminded me of their engagement photos that I captured two years ago in Vero Beach, Florida. Both settings were so dreamy! I really love Spanish moss, can you tell? Their simple session turned out so pretty!

Amber & Curtis: I’m so happy we had the chance to do your maternity photos during your time in Florida! I hope you love them! Andrew and I are beyond excited to meet our niece! We love you all!
