Family Beach Vacation Portraits at Ocean Reef Park in Singer Island, FL

On Monday, July 12th we had the pleasure of capturing the Morton family during their beach vacation to Singer Island, Florida. Their session took place at Ocean Reef Park, right next to their resort, the Palm Beach Marriott Singer Island Beach Resort & Spa. This park is such a convenient and beautiful park for simple portraits. We had such a great time working with this gorgeous family!

Morton family, thank you for having us capture your vacation memories! We hope you love your beach vacation photos!

Kaylee + Brandon | Palm Beach Sunrise Maternity Photos

Palm Beach Sunrise Maternity Photos

On Saturday, August 10th, 2019, at sunrise I had the pleasure of capturing Kaylee's Palm Beach maternity portraits. Her husband, Brandon, joined her for the session, making this golden sunrise session oh-so romantic. Their session took place on the main public beach on Palm Beach. That morning was so peaceful with very little wind. The waves were calm and quiet. When the sun rose, it filled the sky with the dreamiest beams of golden light. Kaylee wore an off-the-shoulder floral dress that had a gorgeous train. It looked stunning on the golden seashore.

Kaylee & Brandon, thank you so much for choosing Crystal Bolin Photography to capture your maternity photos! It was a pleasure working with you both! I wish you all the best in this new and exciting season of life! Enjoy every minute; it is truly the best season yet!

Daylis + Adrian | Palm Beach Wedding Portraits

Palm Beach Wedding Portraits

On May 31st, 2019, I had the honor of capturing some intimate Palm Beach Wedding Portraits for Daylis and Adrian. They said "I do" earlier that day at the West Palm Beach courthouse, and we met up after for their bridal portrait session! It was a gorgeous day with perfect weather. Joy was radiating from their smiles. Love was in the air!

These two have been together for nearly 10 years! A few years ago, Adrian ask Daylis' father for her hand. He said yes, but with one condition: Daylis had to finish her higher education goals first. On May 29th, she achieved that goal and became Dr. Sardina! Two days later, she became a Mrs. As Daylis' second cousin, I have witnessed their persistence and dedication. I am so proud of them and everything they have built so far!

Daylis & Adrian, thank you for allowing me the honor of documenting your love story! I hope this next chapter of your life together is even sweeter! Andrew and I wish you all the best! We hope you enjoy these portraits for many years to come!

36-Week Maternity Portraits on Palm Beach

36-Week Maternity Portraits on Palm Beach

On March 2nd, 2019, Andrew and I finally got the chance to take our maternity portraits on Palm Beach! I was 36 weeks pregnant at the time and, aside from my swollen feet, it was still a great time to take our final maternity portraits! I was mainly thrilled that I still fit into this dress! It was the same one I wore for our 5-year anniversary portraits in Fort Myers when we were just 3 weeks pregnant but had no idea at the time! I thought it would be fun to take our last maternity photos in the same dress, this time on the east coast!

My sweet mom, Maritza, captured these photos for us, and they came out just great! My first photography teacher was my mom, and it's such a blessing to still be in front of her camera! Thank you so much for these stunning photos, mom!

We feel so blessed to be in the final stretch of this pregnancy! There were so many days I prayed to reach this point, growing a healthy, full-term baby. It's surreal still somedays that we are almost there! We’re thanking God daily for the biggest blessing soon to arrive!

Pregnancy Update

I am currently 37 weeks pregnant (38 tomorrow!!) and am now considered full-term! I can't believe we are in the final weeks! There have been many times this pregnancy has gone by extremely slowly, but it’s crazy to think I can potentially be holding my baby girl in a few weeks! We are beyond excited, and we truly cannot wait for this new season to begin!

Overall, I am doing great! Baby is healthy and growing! Aside from swollen feet, heartburn, nausea and random pains, I'm feeling good. Sleep hasn't been easy lately, but my energy has finally increased, and nesting is in full swing!Aside from a few house projects still left to finish, we are pretty much ready for baby! Her sweet bed is setup right next to my side of the bed, and I just can't wait to see her in it! Her clothes are washed, the hospital bag is pretty much packed, and the meal prepping has begun! We’re feeling good about where we are at, and if she were to come any day now, I would be good with it.Maternity leave is about to start! We will be taking a break from portrait sessions from mid-March until the end of May. We will be back to documenting weddings in the late Summer. Emailing will be limited over the next few months, but I plan to still check emails when possible. We are looking forward to this season of getting to know our new little one and have some quality time to recover. Thank you in advance for understanding!

Since this gorgeous pink tree in Worth Avenue was in full bloom, we decided to start with a few shots there! So glad we did! I love the luck I've had finding pink trees for my maternity sessions! :)

Then we headed to the North end of Palm Beach for some simple sunset beach maternity portraits! 

Funny story:

While we were taking these photos a couple approached us to congratulate us on our marriage! They asked, if we had just got married and I immediately said "Nope! Been married for quite a while now" as I smiles and tried to show off my bump even more! They then realized the bump and congratulated us on that!

I'm still shocked at how many people are surprised when I say I'm pregnant! Still till this day I've only been openly noticed as pregnant three times.
