why it has taken me so long to post these newborn photos...i do not know. but, nonetheless, i present to you the sweetest little one: axel. this baby was a dream to photograph! alert, but with not a peep made. he truly made my job easy. his parents did too! a big congrats to andrea and buster on their sweet son. i loved taking these and i am sure he has grown quite a bit in the past couple of months!
Portrait
emmarose | newborn
i have been holding out on sharing these newborn photos of EmmaRose, but i can't any longer! she is a beauty just like her mama. i have known Leslie since we were little dancers, and so it was a joy to be able to capture her growing family. with three girls and a boy (same combo i grew up with!), i know that this family has so much to look forward to. i am so happy for you guys and want to wish you another big congrats on welcoming another beautiful baby into the world! xo
natalie's maternity | vero beach
it is always special when i get to take photos of friends, but this was especially true with natalie and joey. we are both due with our first bambinos this spring (our due dates are 3 weeks apart!), so we have gone through this wonderful journey somewhat together.
these two are expecting a little girl in march, and will make such loving and awesome parents. i am thrilled for this family and what better way to express my excitement for them than with photos?! here are some favorites i took recently in our beautiful town.
andrea + derek | engagement
tomorrow is the big day for these two! i'm excited to be a part of andrea and derek's wedding day - especially as i look back on their engagement session from earlier this year. it should be a fun, beautiful celebration. cheers you two!
emily + tim | engagement, mckee botanical gardens
i first met emily when i photographed her sister's wedding last december. she and her two sisters are not only gorgeous girls on the outside but the inside as well. so when i was asked to capture her and tim's wedding (happening this weekend!), i was pumped! as you can see, emily and tim are very sweet towards one another and naturals in front of the camera - even if they think otherwise! this day was HOT HOT HOT, but that did not deter them from making the most of our time spent at mckee botanical gardens. i had a hard time narrowing down my favorites for this post - plenty of favorites to choose from. i'm so thrilled for their wedding day and all the goodness to come for them!
mason's 1 year | cake smash, vero beach
it is hard to believe that this little guy just turned 1! i remember taking his newborn photos like it was yesterday. but time flies, as we all know. brittany and andrew asked me to capture the happy little guy, (he is so happy!) and get some cake smash shots as well. he wasn't too sure about the birthday cake but it was adorable nonetheless!
a happy birthday to mason and a congrats to his parents on a successful first year!
family sunrise session | vero beach, florida
earlier this summer, i woke up with the sun. it's not often i do this (!) but when i do, it is so rewarding. we were graced with the most gorgeous neon sunrise over the ocean and as we made our way to the beach, the light was a mix of soft, sometimes golden tones. what a treat! the adults sipped their coffees and the kiddos were naturally awake early, so everyone was such good sports smiling for the camera so early. this crew was on vacation from the mountains, so the beach setting was a bonus for pictures.
i loved being able to embrace the sunrise with them. it is something i certainly take for granted living on the east coast. here are some favorites below!
