Jenn + Alan = Julianna : Downtown Winter Park Avenue Family Portrait Session

January 16, 2014 by Jensey 3 Comments

A few years ago, we photographed Jason and Jamie’s wedding in Tampa. Then, Jason’s brother Alan married Jamie, and we got to be a part of that, too. When Jenn and Alan’s family extended to Moose, the cutest Shitzu Poodle that ever was, we got to shoot that, too! Now Jenn and Alan have the cutest baby girl to round out their perfect little family! Blog friends, meet Julianna. <3

These guys drove to Winter Park from Tampa so Julianna could have her first family session with us! <3

Such a little Jenn! <3

Faaaaaaaaaavorite. :)

Thanks for being “lifers,” Jenn and Alan! We love y’all! :)

Mary + Jordan : Church of the Ascension Wedding in Orlando

July 15, 2013 by Jensey 4 Comments

Mary and Jordan’s Orlando wedding this past spring was truly a favorite. You could tell the kind of girl Mary was by how much her family and friends absolutely adored her. She was so excited to marry Jordan, and her excitement was infectious. One of my favorite things about this wedding was how close she and her best friend Tori are! Tori kept Mary stress-free and giggling all morning. :)

It’s just not fair for women to be this gorgeous!

Time between their ceremony and reception were limited, so we were pumped when Mary and Jordan opted for a first look! We were even more pumped when Mary insisted on sneaking out during the reception for even more photos at sunset. :)

See that charm attached to Mary’s bouquet? When her dad was 5, he brought it home for his mom! Mary’s grandma saved it all these years and that was Mary’s something old. :)

Mary and Jordan started their day at the Windermere Country Club, their reception venue, so we got to play on their gorgeous property for photo time. :)

I know I shared these on the Root Photography Facebook page around Father’s Day, but I have to one more time- After doing a first look with Jordan, she did one with her daddy- So sweet. :)

Mary and Tori’s favorite movie is Bride Wars with Kate Hudson and Anne Hathaway, so they requested an under the veil shot. :)

His and her prayers before the ceremony- Favorite. :)

Part II coming tomorrow! :)

Dylan : Orlando Family Session

June 10, 2013 by Jensey 2 Comments

This week I’m loading up the blog with family sessions in honor of Father’s Day!

In December of 2011, Taylor and Michael had one of my all-time favorite weddings on Green Turtle Cay in the Abacos Islands. Their wedding was masterfully coordinated by the remarkable Lisa Stoner of E-Events, and I still find myself oohing and aahing at the memory of Taylor’s wedding details!! Taylor is one of the sweetest, easy-going people I’ve ever met, and I just knew from the second I heard she was pregnant that she’d make a wonderful mother. :)

If you want to first catch up on Taylor and Michael’s story, feel free to revisit the following…

Enter Dylan. Her uh-mazing mobile is by the amazing Pink Cheek Studios. Sumo wrestler mobiles? Star Wars? Custom design of your family (pets too)? Sign me up- Someday. :)

Find the baby!

We hear all the time from friends and past couples that once you have a baby, your pets become become quite secondary. It made my heart so happy to see that Taylor and Michael’s two labs are still very much part of the family! :)

Family time on the couch. :)

Too many favorites to pick just one this time. But know this one’s up there. :)

One thing you may not know about Nate is despite our little Huck Finn, he loooooooves him some big dogs!

One of my favorite things about Taylor and Michael’s wedding was seeing how much Michael loved Taylor. My heart nearly exploded seeing how much he loves his little Dylan!!

Another favorite favorite. :)

Maybe it’s weird for me to post a photo of Miss Dylan’s closet, but ladies, is it possible to look at this and not verbally squeal?! The organization, colors, and tiny swim suits… And not to mention Dylan’s collection of globes above the closet!!

Her nursery. Just the most perfect.

Wouldn’t it be amazing if our engagement sessions all ended with naps? :)

And just to brag on our brides (again), Taylor gave me one of the sweetest gifts I’ve ever been given- She knows my love of Disney, and wrapped up an ornament from their Christmas tree to ours. Taylor, you and your family are in our prayers. Get well soon, sweet girl!

Even more past Root couples-turned-parents sessions!
