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!

Elegant Family Portraits in Worth Avenue, Palm Beach

Ahh, there’s just something about Palm Beach. It’s so classic, so elegant, and definitely won’t ever go out of style. I’ve been blessed to have grown up in this area and remember growing up going to this beach often! When you find clients that love Palm Beach and photography as much as you do, it’s always the best!! The Austin family is that family! We have worked together four times in the past year and each time has been such pleasure! Most of their sessions have been in Palm Beach and they are some of my absolute favorites! I’m so sad they will be moving away soon but so glad we got to squeeze one more session in before they leave!

Austin family: Thank you for choosing us to capture so many family moments and memories! It’s truly been a pleasure and honor! We wish you all the best in this exciting new season in a new state! I hope we get the chance to work together again in the future!

Palm Beach Family Maternity Photos at the Society of the Four Arts

On Thursday, March 4th, I had the pleasure of photographing the Austin family for their Palm Beach family maternity photos! You may remember this sweet family from their session last year! It was such a pleasure working with this wonderful family again and capturing this new season. Seeing families grow is one of my favorite things about my job!

Their session began at the Society of the Four Arts in Palm Beach, Florida. This gorgeous garden was such a fairytale setting for this stunning maternity session! Then we headed to the beach for some lifestyle maternity photos! The last few shots were some of my favorite photos of the whole session! The sky was the prettiest shade of pastel pink and the ocean was the dreamiest tone of teal. With this stunning background and this gorgeous mama, it was perfection! This session was just perfection from start to finish!

Austin Family: Thank you for allowing me the honor of capturing your family memories again! It was such a pleasure working with you all! I hope you love and enjoy your photos for many years to come!

Jennifer + Carmen | 20th Wedding Anniversary Portraits on Worth Avenue in Palm Beach, Florida

On March 2nd, I had the honor of capturing Jennifer and Carmen’s 20th wedding anniversary portraits on Worth Avenue in Palm Beach, Florida! Their romantic anniversary session took place all over Worth Avenue. Begin in the Westward parts where the vibe is old-world and Tuscan. It’s my favorite part of Worth Avenue! Then we strolled East, ending their session at the iconic Worth Avenue Clock Tower that sits at the end of Worth Ave and over looks the ocean. Their session was timeless and romantic. It was such a pleasure working with both of them!

Jennifer & Carmen: Thank you for giving me the honor of documenting this milestone in your marriage! Wishing you all the best and many more years together! I hope you love the photos! :)
