The Carter Family | Hutchinson Island Family Maternity Portraits

Hutchinson Island Family Maternity Portraits at The House of Refuge

It's the Carter family! Every year we have the pleasure of capturing our dear friends' family Christmas portraits! This year, it was extra special because our sweet godson, CJ, is at such a fun giggly age, and it's his last year of being an only child! With his little brother due in just over a month, we also turned this year's session into a maternity session at our favorite beach! We came back to the House of Refuge on Hutchinson Island, where we captured Brooke's maternity portraits when she was pregnant with CJ!

Their family maternity portraits turned out stunning this year! It also helped that CJ was in a terrific mood, and we were able to get every last giggle out of him! They wore a classic and crisp white for their first look. They seemed to just pop out of the serene, coastal backdrop.

We had such a great afternoon with our friends as we captured these sweet memories! I love that we do this every year! Looking back over the years, so many things have changed, but we're glad one thing has remained---our friendship. Now we are actually neighbors, too, and have two new little ones joining us next Christmas! I'm just so excited to see what's in store for next year!

The Kern Family | Palm Beach Family Christmas Portraits

Palm Beach Family Christmas Portraits

On November 22nd, 2018, I had the pleasure of working with the Kern family capturing their Palm Beach family Christmas portraits! We captured portraits in some of Worth Avenue's most iconic spots in Palm Beach. We started along the eastern part of Worth Avenue capturing shots in the breezeways, with the Christmas tree, and with the Clock Tower! Then we worked our way to the beach, finishing our session with some classic beach portraits as the sun began to set!

Kern family, it was a pleasure meeting and working with you! May you enjoy this year's Christmas portraits for many years to come! I hope to work with you all again! Merry Christmas![line][line]

Alyssa + Bryan | Rustic Chic Vow Renewal

A Rustic Chic Vow Renewal at You Farm in Loxahatchee, FL

Twelve years ago I had the honor of being a bridesmaid in their wedding. On Friday, November 16th, I had the honor of documenting their vowel renewal. The ceremony took place at You Farm in Loxahatchee, FL, on a chilly night. Their elegant attire paired charmingly with the rustic outdoor venue.

Their day was filled with sweet smiles, tender tears and loving glances. Family closely witnessed them as they reaffirmed the promise they had made in an intimate setting. This time, their two daughters stood close by to witness their parents rededicate their love for each other. It was a beautiful sight to see those young girls witnessing such a powerful example of what a Godly marriage commitment should look like.

Alyssa and Bryan, thank you for allowing us the privilege of being a part of this special day! We pray that God will continue to bless your marriage and family immensely! We know God is using you both to impact the lives of so many around you! Thank you for being such a blessing in our lives!
