Lifestyle Family Newborn Photos

On Saturday, March 6th, I had the honor of capturing this lifestyle family newborn session! This session was a special one because it was for one of our 2018 wedding couples—Kirsten and Alex. On February 13th, they welcomed their precious little boy, Crew! He is such a cutie! Oh, and I can’t forget the first baby of the family, their golden doodle, Ziggy! He stole the show in a large handful of shots and it was too funny!

Their in-home newborn session was laidback and simple. My approach with these type of sessions is to capture as many genuine candids and sweet moments as I can. I love these lifestyle sessions because they allow true, organic moments to blossom that give such a rich, warm feeling. These are the moments you can’t force—they just happen. It was such a pleasure to be able to capture this adorable family! I hope you enjoy this session as much as I enjoyed capturing it!

Kirsten & Alex, thank you for welcoming me into your home to document this beautiful new season! As always, it was such a pleasure working with you guys! I hope to continue to capture your family story! I hope you love your images for many years to come!

Alexis + John | Romantic Wedding Anniversary

A Romantic Wedding Anniversary at Riverbend Park in Jupiter, Florida

On Tuesday, October 18th, 2016 I had the pleasure of capturing Alexis and John's one-year wedding anniversary portraits. Exactly one year ago from this day they promised forever. So in honor of their vows they decided to get back into their wedding attire and have a memorable first anniversary styled portrait shoot!

The location of this anniversary session was the breathtaking Riverbend Park in Jupiter, Florida. In this dreamy park, you will find a terrain unlike any other in South Florida. This park is filled with flowing rivers, unique trees, and Spanish moss!! When the sun sets in this park it is nothing short of magical. The most glorious golden light was reflecting onto wheat-like fields creating an amazing scene.

When Alexis first contacted me to capture their anniversary portraits I was beyond thrilled! And when I heard what she had in mind I was over the moon! We immediately began chatting about ideas and as a result, we came up with the most dreamy and romantic wedding anniversary shoot ever!

John and I have known each other since we were in grade school! We grew up going to the same church and were a part of the same youth group. When John started bringing Alexis to church I remember thinking how cute they were together! Fast forward to today, they have been together for four years and I am so happy for them!

Alexis & John, thank you so much for allowing me the pleasure of capturing your anniversary portraits! It was such an honor to capture this special time in your life. Here's to many more beautiful years to come!
