Orlando wedding, engagement, family photographer | Root Photography Blog
The many adventures of a cute husband and wife photography team!
Get ready.
Are you ready?
You’re about to see maybe the cutest holiday family there ever was.
I don’t wanna spoil anything, but there *may* be reindeer suspenders and a “ho ho ho” bow tie involved.
Are you ready?
You sure?
You’ve been warned! <3
I meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeean <3
Thank you W family for sharing your cuteness with the world! :)
*All photos by Nate!*
Seeing as it’s already DECEMBER, I’m determined to blog all of the precious holiday mini sessions that Nate shot! :)
The biggest work change for us since Ollie arrived has been that I stepped away from photographing sessions. It’s helping me find the sweet spot in being a work-from-home mom, and Nate going off to sessions gives me precious one on one date time with my little muppet. The downside of this, of course, is that I miss out on seeing a lot of faces I love, and sometimes I get a little jealous of the time Nate gets to hang out with them!! But stepping back from sessions was a non negotiable for me- I knew we could get family or a trusted sitter for our ~25 weddings a year, but I wasn’t ready to leave him for our ~50 portrait sessions on top of that. Nate has been an absolute champ and not only stepped up to the plate to take over shooting these, but has really stepped up his game!
We knew this was our parenting plan when we started our adoption process, so for the past two years, every portrait session photo I’ve blogged or Instagrammed has been taken by Nate. Because he is amazing. <3
The L family was a sad one for me to miss, but it was also a good reminder that you know, these guys live in town and we don’t have to hang out with them behind a camera to see them! I’m really hoping Beckett and Ollie become best buddies, seeing as they’re a whole two weeks apart! I will never forget photographing his newborn session and stepping out to text Oliver’s birth mother, who was in the early stages of labor. Beckett is so special to us and he doesn’t even know! :)
Annnnnyway, Nate was able to meet up with these guys in downtown Winter Garden for his ~6 month holiday family mini session. They all dressed so, so well and look like they belong in a Hallmark Christmas movie!!
Those cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeks! <3
HOW DAPPER IS THIS FAMILY.
Jessica, you are one stunning momma!!
KEEPING IT REAL, YOU GUYS. A++++ to daddy Bligh!!
Faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaavorite <3
Where do I begin with my love for this family?! We shouldn’t have favorites. I know we shouldn’t have favorites. But I promise if you met this family, you’d understand!! And since it’s not possible for all of you to meet them, we’ll just have to show their awesomeness through photos. :)
It feels like yesterday we were photographing silly baby Jude, and then I blinked and this happened!!
We look forward to every session with these guys, but this year’s shoot was extra special because we finally got to meet the newest member of the crew, Princess Joely! <3
Let’s do one more flashback, ok? Yesterday…
Today. <3 These two *always* deliver our favorite mother/son portraits!
And then there’s Joely <3
So. Many. Favorites.
Jude, our future assistant! As soon as he can hold the camera on his own, at least.
… We’ll also have to focus on the whole “focus” thing. ;)
Not gonna lie… This one’s my favorite. Family. Session. Realness. <3
These twooooooooo! <3 Jude, Joely, Chris, and gorgeous Rita, we love y’all more than you know!! As always, thank you for trusting us with your memories! <3
