The A Family : Orlando Vacation Maternity Photographer

April 25, 2018 by Jensey Leave a Comment

It’s rare that we photograph maternity sessions, but this one was extra special- My sweet honorary niece was in that belly!

It was extra special because it was Ollie’s first (and so far only!) session with us. It’s hard to believe Veronica and Greg were strangers to us a year and a half ago when they booked us for their wedding, and now Veronica is one of my dearest friends! <3

Ollie being amazing while Momsie and Popsicle worked :

My faaaaavorite. <3

Little maaaaaan! I love that this was their first photo together, and it will be pretty darn adorable to be displayed on their wedding day! ;)

Veronica, Greg, and Scarlett, we adore you all! <3

Kelly + Dillan : Vintage Epcot Inspired Wedding

April 16, 2018 by Jensey Leave a Comment

It all started with a duct tape cupcake.

During orientation, Kelly and Dillan were doing a getting-to-know-you activity where everyone was given rolls of duct tape and told to “bake” something. Kelly whipped up a cupcake, and I mean, if you meet someone who holds *this* much talent, well… Are you surprised Dillan ended up proposing?! ;)

SO many nods to Epcot in this wedding. Epcot has been Kelly’s favorite place since she was a kid and Illuminations holds a special place in her and Dillan’s love story.

So much love for these sisters. <3

I *loved* that they read private vows during their first look. <3

Disney floral incorporated Kelly’s handmade park map flowers into her flowers. <3

Windy Florida hazards!

Spring has sprung in Orlando (sorry everyone else!)

This look Kelly had when she reached the end of the aisle with her dad gave me alllllll the feels. <3

This guy, my favorite violinist! He can play any song you request, even if he’s never heard it, just by listening to a song from someone’s phone. This was him killing “Stand Out” from A Goofy Movie. Powerline would be proud!

Spaceship Earth caaaaaaake!

I *thought* this would be my favorite photo when Nate showed it to me on the back of his camera…

… But then he took this one. For the first couple minutes after the fireworks finished, Kelly and Dillan just held each other and soaked in the last few minutes of their wedding day. You guys- This is why we love this job. <3

Kelly and Dillan, thank you for having us!!! :)

The W Family : Holiday Family Vacation Photos in Orlando, Florida

February 2, 2018 by Jensey 1 Comment

Despite every effort to get this session posted in December, it turns out working full time and mom-ing full time is a little more time consuming than I prepared myself for, but now we’re finally in our slow month! Yay!! Which means I have time to catch up on the blog while Olliebug sleeps!

While we didn’t shoot their wedding, Jessica and Steven are honorary #RootLifers because we’ve shot their best friends’ weddings and TWO sessions with them now! This was our first time to meet Miss Evelyn!

Nate has taken over our portrait sessions so I have extra time with Oliver, but sometimes they line up well with his nap schedule, and it gives me a chance to have a mini mother/son date with him! So while Nate shot these guys, I walked around with Oliver and practiced his sitting and we got to say hello to these guys while we were there!

But I’m in looooooooooove with the photos Nate shot. I mean, just look at this face for a minute, will you?!
