Dylan : Winter Garden Family Session

June 15, 2016 by Jensey Leave a Comment

You may remember Taylor and Michael from their Green Turtle Cay wedding in the Bahamas (you can read about that here and here! Oh, and here, too!)

It feels like just yesterday we were meeting Miss Dylan for the first time, but now she’s a little lady. These three came to see us in downtown Winter Garden for some updated family photos, and I think my abs are still sore from laughing so hard!!

Dylan was a liiiiittle unsure about us at first, hiding under a table…

… And behind Mom!

But a few jumps, noises, and giggles later…

… And we were buddies! :)

THIS ONE. Nate, you are my favorite photographer. Ever. Also, we need a photography studio now if just to get this on canvas!

Bunny ears FTW! :)

Taylor, Michael, and Dylan, we had so much fun playing with y’all and really hope to see you again soon! :)

Jen + Casey + William + Claire : Grand Floridian Family Session

June 10, 2016 by Jensey 3 Comments

Ready for the best meet cute I’ve ever heard? Geeeet ready! <3

Jen and Casey met at Walt Disney World 19 years ago while they were in high school. Both of their families were staying at the Grand Floridian, and Jen and Casey hung out by the pool and really hit it off, but *completely* forgot to exchange phone numbers! Oh, high school. <3 Casey went home to Iowa, Jen to Ohio. Fast forward a few years and Jen’s in college, strolling through campus at Ohio State, when who does she see? CASEY.

I’m convinced that the very moment this happened, time paused when their eyes met and there was an explosion of pixie dust and an Alan Menken score started playing. Jen said they went out that very night and every night since. 9 years later, they were married and have made two pretty awesome littles, and we were honored to document how far they’ve come since that first meeting! <3

This first one’s my favorite, a little snuggle outside the pool gate where they met!

FAVORITE.

Jen, Casey, William, and Claire, thank so much for letting us come play!! <3

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
