Michelle + Matthew : Celebration, Florida Roommate Session

November 7, 2014 by Jensey 2 Comments

Remember the adorable, adorable best friend session we photographed a ways back with these two beauties? You know, the Celebration session with shopping bags, bow ties, and this magical greyhound we stumbled across? (Click the photo below for a memory refresh!)

Welllllll, Michelle and Matthew contacted us for some updated photos and it pretty much made my week. :) See, shooting these two is a piece of cake, as it’s literally impossible to take a bad photo of either of them. I mean, look at these guys. They are best friends, roommates, both drive Mini Coopers, and I pretty much just want to look at them all day.

Faaaaaaaaaaaaaaavorite! <3 <3 <3

Matthew, you’re gorgeous. You should go follow him on Instagram @HouseofPocket for his fashion finds! :)

Just another manic Monday with Michelle and her Mini. <3

My tied-for-first-favorite! Michelle and Matthew, thank you for giving us a break from our weddings this month. We love you and hope to do it again next year! :)

Dee + Jeremy : Celebration Maternity Session

September 9, 2014 by Jensey 4 Comments

We got an email from someone who told us about Dee’s story and wanted to anonymously gift her a maternity session. Just two days later, Dee emailed us asking to book a maternity session, and told us that even though she didn’t have much of a “bump” yet, she wanted some photos done to capture her pregnancy before chemo. I wanted to reach through the computer screen and hug her immediately, but just a few days later we were meeting our newest friends in Celebration.

I don’t even know what else to write here, because I feel like no matter what I try to say, I can’t put into words the unfairness, empathy, confusion, and love I have towards this woman I just met. Pregnancy is hard enough, life is hard enough, being a human being is hard enough- But meeting a couple like this, going through all this, and still smiling and snuggling and laughing? Just puts it all in perspective.

Such a sweet, naturally love-y couple- Their baby boy won the parental jackpot, for sure.

To follow this crazy strong woman’s story, head over to her blog here—> Breast Cancer During Pregnancy. Dee, you’re so strong and brave to share your story with other women who may find themselves in the same spot. I’ll be reading along every day and can’t wait to meet your baby boy!
