The L Family : Orlando Lifestyle Newborn Session Photographer

July 19, 2017 by Jensey 1 Comment

Oh, these faces. <3

We’ve now photographed Jess and Bligh’s engagement session, wedding day, maternity session, and now newborn session!!! This was one I’ll really, truly, honestly never forget because we were on baby watch for Oliver Hobbes!!! (I know, I should probably get around to blogging about our newest family member soon, but for now, I have too big of a photography backlog!) Throughout their whole session, I was nervously texting back and forth with our birth mother and waiting for THE call, which ended up coming just two days later!!

It was so surreal meeting baby Beckett for a few reasons : 1- Anytime our couples let us photograph this huge milestone, my heart grows three sizes. 2- I found myself praying during our shoot that our adoption works out so our babies would only be a week apart and could be besties and I could always tell Beckett that I was a ball of nerves waiting for Ollie when we first met! :) 3- THAT HAIR. YOU GUYS, THAT HAIR. <3 <3 <3

We did their shoot in my favorite place to do newborn sessions- Home. <3

I’m convinced that Beckett isn’t just Bligh’s child, but his actual clone! :)

Faaaaavorite <3

Baby Beckett, we had so much fun meeting you and can’t wait for our first play date!! <3

Taylor + Michael + Dylan + Andersen : Orlando Family Session

April 18, 2017 by Jensey Leave a Comment

Once upon a time, we photographed Taylor and Michael’s engagement session on Michael’s family’s property, their wedding in the Bahamas (!!!!) and then their first family session when their oldest, Dylan arrived. Then we photographed them in Winter Garden when that baby turned into a spirited lil’ girl, and now when that spirited lil’ girl became a big sister. <3

Our “Root Lifers” are the heart and soul of why we do what we do, and why, somehow, we’re 11 years into a career we adore.

I’m so excited to share this sweet family session with you, which happens to take place on their family property, where we photographed their engagement session forever ago! :)

Their session started with their girls in adorable red dresses, but *spoiler alert*, that didn’t last long! ;)

Dylan decided the shoot was much more suited for a My Little Pony dress, and I can’t say I disagreed! ;)

So. Many. Favorites. Also, Dylan is a modern-day Pippi Longstocking and I’m obsessed. :)

Caaaaaan we talk about Andersen’s baby blues?!

You can tell these girls haaaaate their momma! ;)

We met sweet Riley years ago at their engagement session and were lucky enough to meet again just before she passed. I love these photos of Taylor with her best girl. <3

Apart from the photos above, I think this one was my favorite. <3

… Or this one.

… Or these. :)

Taylor, Michael, Dylan, and Andersen, I always leave our shoots with my cheeks sore from smiling. We can’t wait til next time! :)

Jude + Joely : Winter Garden Family Session

April 10, 2017 by Jensey Leave a Comment

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
