Henry : Windermere Family Session

May 7, 2013 by Jensey 4 Comments

When I signed up for the Walt Disney World College Program internship, I never could have fathomed how many amazing people would be placed in my life. I was able to meet Nick (Hallpants’ dad), and my best friend Casi. One girl at work I always wanted to become better friends with but never got the chance was Jessica. She seemed to be one of the “cool” kids at work, and this status was cemented when she transferred out of attractions to become “best friends” with Mary Poppins.

I loved when this happened because it was the first time I was ever really friends with a character. I begged for shifts at Dumbo during the day because I knew my Poppins rode carousel, and if I could time it just right, I could sneak a wave when I was doing Dumbo Long Walk. (I never said I was a cool kid, ok?!)

As the years passed, we both moved on, met our fellas, and got married. Thanks to Facebook we kept in touch, and though we didn’t photograph her wedding, Jessica kept tabs on our photography as we grew the past six years. I was so excited when she wrote asking us to photograph her little boy Henry’s first birthday session! :)

Jessica and her husband Brad are wonderfully sentimental people. When it came time to decide where we should photograph their session, she was torn between Port Orleans (where she and Brad stayed when only they knew Jessica was pregnant), and downtown Windermere (when Henry was a newborn and Jessica needed to get out of the house, she’d drive him to Windermere where they’d sit on the library rocking chairs and read books, or walk around the park!) She ultimately decided Windermere was the right place, and I’m so glad she did! :)

I was worried Henry would take a while to warm up to us, but once we got him in a swing, we had him! :)

Cake smash time!! Even the cake had special meaning- Jessica and Brad did a “gender reveal” when they were pregnant, where in front of family members (I think on Skype!) they cut into the cake to see if it was pink or blue. Jessica put the cake into the freezer and saved it until Henry was one for his cake smash- So perfect! <3

Tristyn : Vanderbilt Campus Nashville Family Session

May 6, 2013 by Jensey 3 Comments

As the summer temperatures begin rapidly approaching (especially for those beautiful Florida weddings!), I begin daydreaming about autumn. Maybe I’m alone here, but if we could just get rid of summer altogether, well… You wouldn’t find me complaining!

So while I mentally prepare for the summer heat, I’m gonna write this blog from my air conditioned living room and share some cuddly autumn photos from a Nashville session we had last fall. It’s so hard to believe we photographed Celia and Drew’s engagement session five years ago- You can find it here on our dusty old blog. :) While we were booked on their wedding date, Celia and I reconnected through Facebook and I’ve been following her love story with Drew ever since! Their family of two grew with the addition of this little cutie, Tristyn, who just adds more proof to the fact that we not only get to photograph the most beautiful couples than any other photographer, but also the cutest babies!

I thought Celia was beautiful before, but Mom-hood has brought a whole new level of gorgeous. :)

While we took a break for Tristyn to finish his “protein shake,” Nate grabbed my favorite of the session without them even knowing. :)
