The Gorgeous G Family... Jupiter Family Photographer

I've known this family for 2 years now.  Little A has been in  my daughter's preschool class for the past 2 years & they've become good friends.  I was so honored when his family asked me to capture some new family images that they can give to their family back home in Italy!  We had GREAT weather last weekend at the Juno Beach Pier!  Here are a few of my favs... :)

Mother's Day Love.... Palm Beach Family Photographer

I am so honored to be able to capture special moments for the families I work with.  In honor of Mother's day, I've put together a little collage of some of the 2012 momma's I've photographed this year! :)  Thank you all for choosing me to capture these moments with your precious babies!  I absolutely love what I do.  And I wouldn't be where I am without the amazing example of what a mother is from my own fabulous mom.... and the love & support from my team at home!  Love you all!  Happy Mother's Day 2012!!

My fabulous Mom:

The two precious miracles who made me a mom.... the BEST job of all! 

Summer fun with the G family... Palm Beach Family Photographer

It was so much fun meeting the G family last night for a fabulous family photoshoot!  My always amazing session designer, Trisha Varney, created the perfect kick-off to summer shoot for us!  The kids had a blast with the oranges & limes!  I have been wanting to do a shoot with oranges & limes for awhile... ever since I saw Megan Cristello Photography do a shoot with this theme back in 2009 (which was inspiration for this session).... I've been storing up this idea since then until a few weeks ago when Trisha texted me a picture of this amazing turquoise cooler.... and then the idea took off!  Here are a few pictures from this amazing family session!  Enjoy your sneak peek G family! :)

8 day old Miss K.... Palm Beach Newborn Photographer

Recently, I had the pleasure of traveling back up to Tallahassee, FL to visit some old college friends!  It was great returning to my old stompin' grounds... but it was even better getting to meet & snuggle with the adorable 8 day old Miss K, who is the daughter of some friends of ours up in Tallahassee.  I love, love, loved this session!  I enjoyed working with my friend Kate from Bellflower Photography in Tallahassee while we captured sweet Miss K in some beautiful settings!  (wish we had wildflowers down here in South Florida!).  Here are a few of my favorites from K's session....

Here she is with her adorable big sister:

 

Matilda Jane CHICKS! Palm Beach Childrens Photographer

Wow.... anyone who knows me, knows I have a major shopping addiciton to Matilda Jane Clothing.  I find their clothing second to none in terms of quality & cuteness.  Their outfits are the perfect portriat clothing in my opinion because the mix of colors, textures, and patterns brings such interest to the images.  It is so easy to mix & match their pieces with each other too, which is one of the things I love most about MJC. 

For the release of their newest line, Serendipity, I wanted to create a really fun session for my friends & clients who purchased MJC from my trunk show!  I had the fabulous , Trisha Varney Photography Designer, create some super amazing set designs for this shoot!  We had a blast capturing all of our adorably sweet MJ models in this super-fun shoot!!!

Here are some of my favorites of my MJ chicks....

The W family... Palm Beach Family Photographer

I always love when I have the privledge to watch families grow & change!  I was so happy to be able to capture the sweet W family again this week while they are vacationing down here in Palm Beach.  Two years ago, I photographed this family of 3... and yesterday I got to meet the newest member of their family of 4 now!  I just love my job & I am honored when families choose me to document their happy memories!

Here are a few of my favorites from our beach session.  We had gorgeous weather, adorable kids, and some super fun props & ideas by my amazing session stylist, Trisha Varney! 

I Heart Faces challenge: Giddy

When I saw the theme for this week's I Heart Faces challenge, I knew immediately I wanted to enter this image I captured of Ellie last week.  My little Ellie is so sweet & silly and full of giddiness here & I just adore this image....so much so that I am pretty sure a big canvas needs to be ordered of it soon! :)  I just feel like it captures all of her happiness into one image!

It's been awhile... Here's the past month's re-cap (mid-August through mid-September)... Palm Beach Family Photographer

Wow... I've turned in to such a slacker with my blogging.... I've been really busy & have been posting most of my sneak peeks over on my Facebook fanpage... (check it out!).... But for now... here are some of my favorite images from this past month that have yet to be blogged!  Enjoy! 

As you can see... I've had a nice mix of work.... family, kids, newborn, baby, pets, super heroes... etc!  It's been a great month! 

If you are interested in a 2011 session, contact me today... I have very limited availability left in November/December.  I am currently booked through October. 

 

Lots of Newborns so far in August... Palm Beach Newborn Photographer

Boy oh Boy.... August has been the month for newborns for me so far!  I've really enjoyed being able to capture so many cuties in their first week of life!  Fall newborn spots are also booking up quickly... only about 2 spots remain for September & October is full (might be able to squeeze in ONE more)...  So if you are wondering when to contact me for your newborn portraits, the answer is NOW! :)

For now though... meet 6 day old Baby Carson, 6 day old Miss Sophia, and 7 day old Baby Kash.... all photographed in the past 2 weeks! :)   Enjoy!

Carson - 6 days old:

Next up was Miss Sophia, photographed at 6 days old... :)

Finally... sweet one-week old Baby Kash...

I can't wait to meet the rest of my newborns this month!  :)
