Brenda + Gavin : Pop Century Family Portrait Session

April 27, 2016 by Jensey Leave a Comment

Brenda and Gavin were two of the winners of our winter portrait giveaway!

They were nominated by looooooong time reader and all-things Root supporter, Tracy. I won’t go into too many details, but Gavin is quite the little fighter with some serious health issues. Walt Disney World is this family’s happy place, specifically their favorite resort Pop Century! We were so excited to meet this sweet family and take some portraits for them. It didn’t take long for the kids to warm up to us, that’s for sure! ;)

Brenda is suuuuuch a sweet big sister, and it’s so clear that these two are best buddies!

Loooooove when we get help making the talent smile! ;)

Gavin, you are just wonderful!!

Thank y’all soooooo much for letting us capture your family, y’all! Hope you get to make it back here real soon!! :)

Hallpants + Henrybear : Port Orleans Riverside Family Session

April 13, 2016 by Jensey 2 Comments

Ohhhh, these two bugs. If you’ve ever poked around this blog or my personal one, JenseyLoves, you’ve surely seen our cute nephews’ faces! If you’re new around here, meet “Hallpants“ and “Henry Bear,“ the sons of our best friends Nick and Jessie!

We are never without a camera when we’re spending time with this crew, but we hadn’t done an official “session” since Henry was a newborn. Shame on us!! We took them to Port Orleans Riverside before heading to play at the Magic Kingdom and photographed almost all of their session in this *one* pathway with amaaaaazing light.

My faaaaaaaaaavorite. <3

It was so hot out and these gentlemen were such good sports!

I can’t believe it’s been 13 years since Nick and I became friends while working at Dumbo in the Magic Kingdom! Who ever knew that cute boy at work would some day be one of my dearest friends and give me the two sweetest nephews I could imagine!

Jessie is the sweetest momma I know. She’s my Kate Middleton and I look up to her in every way possible. <3

Why do we call him “Hallpants?” I don’t know! Ever since Jessie was pregnant and knew they were having a son and naming him “Hall,” it’s sort of the only thing Nate and I have ever referred to him as! They’ve morphed it into “Hallman,” but he’ll always be Hallpants to meeeee!

Henry maaaaaaybe cut the shoot a bit short with this little move (Poor Jessie!) I love Hall’s face here, like, “Well, now you’ve done it, Henry!” Jessie, Nick, Hallpants, and Henry, we love y’all more than you know. Until next time! <3
