Westlake Village California Family Session

January 20, 2017 by Jensey 2 Comments

While in California for Liz’s family session, we were able to squeeze in a verrrrry special session- With my family! <3

My dad is Uncle Mark’s big brother, and while I don’t see his family nearly enough, they are truly some of my favorite people on the planet. My cousin Brooke is as kind and smart as she is beautiful, and she’s such a good big sister to Haley. Haley is quirky, creative, and lover of all creatures great and small! She happens to be the proud momma to Moose the ferret (who you should follow on Instagram HERE!)

This is my Uncle Mark’s gorgeous crew! I can’t believe I’m related to this beautiful family! :)

This is Haley’s grandfather with her ferret-child, Moose. I dare you to find a happier photo on the internet today! :)

These twooooo <3 Haley’s grandmother told me the last time she met me was at Uncle Mark and Aunt Pam’s wedding. I was the youngest guest in attendance but she remembered my blue eyes- Seriously, how precious is this family?!

Haley and her Moooooooose! <3

<3 <3 <3 <3

This was my first time meeting their sweet uncle! I kept hearing him tell his parents how much I reminded him of Haley- Apparently we “aww!” the same way? <3

Haley’s boyfriend Channing and Moose. :)

Yep- Then this happened!!

We love ALL y’all and can’t wait to hopefully see you again soooooon! <3

Adam + Jenn + Jack + Jill : Winter Park Family Photographer

November 15, 2016 by Jensey 3 Comments

Seeing as we’re so close to Thanksgiving (how did THAT happen?!), I can’t think of a better family to share than this one… Our original “Root Lifers!”

Adam and Jenn were my second-ever wedding, Nate’s 3rd, and forever have a piece of our hearts! We photographed their family session since Jillian was a baby, and now look at these guys! Well, Adam and Jenn look the *exact* same if not better, but Jillian is so big!!! Her wedding will be here before we know it!! ;)

We are only in business today because of people like Adam and Jenn who, 10 years later, are still passing us on to their friends and families. Word of mouth referrals have been the backbone of our business and we couldn’t stand here without them.

We met up with Adam and Jenn ON their 10th anniversary to capture their life now. <3

Just a little reminder: This is what they looked like on their past couple sessions (click a photo for more from that shoot!)…

… And here they are now!!

Obligatory walking-by-the-dumpsters-for-a-good-photo-spot-trust-us photo.

Beautiful Jill. <3

Silly Jack. <3

I don’t even know how this beautiful girl happened! I swear she was just a baaaaby!!!

One of my faaaaaaaaaaaaaaavorites! :)

Adam, Jenn, Jack, and Jill, thank you for playing with us!!! We can’t wait ’til your 20th. <3

Maddie + Liam : Grand Floridian Family Session

November 10, 2016 by Jensey 1 Comment

I always miscount these things, but I’m about 80% sure this was our 9th(!!!!!!!!!!!!!) session with these guys. I know their momma will correct me in the comments! ;)

I can’t even express the joy we get from watching these little toots grow up and we’re honored to be their family photographers. <3 Lindsey has always made it a priority to document their family, and it’s such an inspiration to me. Nate and I had our first session (of us!) this year since our wedding- Almost NINE years ago y’all! We were needing an updated portrait for our adoption packets and realized that other than our traditional selfies, we hadn’t had someone else take our photo!

Whenever we’re lucky enough to become parents, I’m taking Lindsey’s note. I know I’ll never feel thin enough or pretty enough to have a session done, but it’s not for me. It’s for Baby Root. It would break my heart if we didn’t have a session with me in it for 9 years!

Anyway, thank you for inspiring me, Lindsey. I know I get a lump in my throat every time I look through our oldest shoots with y’all, and I know Liam, Maddie, and future grandkids will be so thankful for this gift of memories!!

But can we talk about how this is maybe my favorite brother/sister portrait ever?! Maddie is a Gap model in the making and Liam is a real life Calvin from Calvin and Hobbes!! This is them to me 100%!!

It always takes Maddie a little bit to warm up. ;)

But before we know it, Lindsey is jumping into her toddler comedy hour and killing it with the kiddos!

Can we talk about how Liam was this tiny when we first took his photo?!?!?

Omg, Maddie and that little finger is my favorite thing ever. <3

No one dresses her daughter better than Lindsey!! <3

On our first family session with these kids, Liam was ovvvvvver photos at the end of our shoot! He started crying and Nate told Lindsey and Eric to follow suit. One of my all-time-favorite family photos came out of it! Lindsey wanted a recent take on it! :)

Nate and Liam raced each other at the end of the session and I love the photo Nate got mid-race! Liam was verrrry focused, lol!

COME BACK SOON, FRIENDS! Miss you already!!! :)
