At last… | {St. Augustine newborn portraits}

This lil’ man decided to make his grand entrance into the world a tad on the early side… more like about 8 weeks early if my memory serves me right. Mom called when he was born and we chatted a bit about doing a newborn session for him when he was able to come home from the hospital. He spend some time in the NICU.. came home and then unfortunately had some illnesses that prevented him from coming in. But AT LAST we were able to get together to do his “newborn” portrait session at 2.5 months of age. He’s still a lil’ peanut for that age but he’s nice and plump :) Gotta love that!!! And I was really worried about him curling and staying asleep to capture these special moments for mom and dad - but we had a little chat and he drifted off to sleep for a bit and even did a bit of curling up for me!
Congratulations mom and dad on your little man! He’s adorable and so good (aside from the poopie in the lap thing)! We’ll see you soon! Enjoy your little peek!




This baby ROCKS! | {Jacksonville newborn photographer}

Welcome this lil’ rocker to the world. I was kidding with his parents that I was going to have to title the blog peek something about “rockin’” and I did! Just couldn’t resist given that dad brought his guitar and case to our session to use as a “prop”. I just love it when parents bring items in from home that have special meaning to them! It’s great to be able to find a way to incorporate that into the portraits and makes them just that much more precious.
We had a great time at this session!!! My friend and colleague from Colorado was here visiting for the week and we were able to play with our “usual” poses but were also able to try out a new prop or two (see the lil’ wooden “bench” below). And this lil’ man was OUT for quite some time (after a little help and a good mess on me).
So without more yappin’ from me… on with the peek!!!
One in dad’s guitar case along with the guitar. I think next session I’ll have to ask him to play a few notes for me

Another special item brought from home… dad’s karate belt (or maybe it was grandfathers? I forget but either way it was wonderful!)
NEW BENCH! (itty bitty bench that is)
NEW HAT!!! (made this to go along with a new pot prop but lil’ man here woke before we could use it.. but I got a shot with the hat!)

Check out that little pout!!!

And this one just melts my heart…

Enjoy your peek mom and dad! It was a pleasure to meet you and we’ll see you again soon.

It’s a rare treat that I get to photograph an extended family that includes grandparents… but that is just what we did last weekend. But guess what?? I’m going to save that special shot just for their eyes only!! hehehe…. But I do want to share a few others from our session. Family images from the two families and of course a shot or two of each of the cutie kiddos!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! | {Jacksonville birthday portraits}

Well just look at him now!!!

And would you look at that giggle face? I swear he did this the WHOLE session. Just the happiest lil’ guy ever! All I had to do was shake my hair around and he belly laughed about it… it never got old with him. There were times he had ME laughing so hard I could hardly get a shot b/c the camera was bouncing up and down! And look at all that hair of his!! WOW!~

And the highlight of our whole session… CAKE TIME!!! Going to show a lot of cake images here.. why? well… you’ll see…
First he was just happy he got to sit here and play again. And was only slightly curious about the cake in front of him. Was more content watching me make a fool out of myself shaking my hair around.

But then mom gave him a taste…. and he wasnt quite sure how to tackle eating it soooo…

HA! We were all cracking up so hard!
He was quite conent with the way he decided to eat it at first… and was just licking his lips too.

And by the time he was done (ok.. so we took it away after this so the poor kid didnt end up with a belly ache) he looked like this!!

I still laugh as I post this… just too funny! LOVE it when they really get into their cakes!
Thanks for coming in mom and dad and bringing that sweet boy! We’ll see you guys soon!

Although we didn’t get a whole lot with the cupcakes mom brought in … we captured some great stuff!!! I’m so excited about this session because dad actually painted a canvas for his lil’ girl and we got to use it in the session! WOOT! Now that is what I mean by bring something from home to customize your portraits!!! We had a great time and I’m sure this lil’ peanut slept all the way home! I think we wore her out completely with all the fun things we did! Enjoy your peek mom and dad.. see you soon! Be sure to give me a ring and let me know which dates works better for you for our ordering session.




Girlfriend could make some faces too!
