St. Petersburg Family Session

January 31, 2017 by Jensey Leave a Comment

Because I thought today could use a little family session magic. <3

We started our session with Miss Mari showing us her most prized possession!

It was so fun seeing this new family of four and Mari as a big sister! :)

Favorite. <3

Mari was so proud to show us all of her toooooooys! <3

<3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Some of these figurines also lived in my room growing up! I’d be lying if I didn’t say I came home and found a couple of my favorites on eBay! <3

It started out so sweet…

… But then the “real” side of big sister-hood shone through! ;)

Nate’s favorite. :)

Ohhhh, E family, we love you so!! Until next time! <3

Westlake Village California Family Session

January 20, 2017 by Jensey 2 Comments

While in California for Liz’s family session, we were able to squeeze in a verrrrry special session- With my family! <3

My dad is Uncle Mark’s big brother, and while I don’t see his family nearly enough, they are truly some of my favorite people on the planet. My cousin Brooke is as kind and smart as she is beautiful, and she’s such a good big sister to Haley. Haley is quirky, creative, and lover of all creatures great and small! She happens to be the proud momma to Moose the ferret (who you should follow on Instagram HERE!)

This is my Uncle Mark’s gorgeous crew! I can’t believe I’m related to this beautiful family! :)

This is Haley’s grandfather with her ferret-child, Moose. I dare you to find a happier photo on the internet today! :)

These twooooo <3 Haley’s grandmother told me the last time she met me was at Uncle Mark and Aunt Pam’s wedding. I was the youngest guest in attendance but she remembered my blue eyes- Seriously, how precious is this family?!

Haley and her Moooooooose! <3

<3 <3 <3 <3

This was my first time meeting their sweet uncle! I kept hearing him tell his parents how much I reminded him of Haley- Apparently we “aww!” the same way? <3

Haley’s boyfriend Channing and Moose. :)

Yep- Then this happened!!

We love ALL y’all and can’t wait to hopefully see you again soooooon! <3

Erin + Steve + Brennan + Dylan : Grand Floridian Family Session

January 16, 2017 by Jensey Leave a Comment

Well, it’s time to kick our 2017 family sessions off with some Root Lifers! <3

We photographed Erin and Steve’s Disney wedding, and three years ago, we got to meet their sweet boys. Wellllllll, we had the pleasure of photographing them again two months ago, and these boys are grown and silly and perfect!!

Nate and I met this family at the Grand Floridian for some updated family portraits and play time. :) These boys took to Nate like, well, best friends? Brennan was a little upset when he learned at the end of our session that Nate wouldn’t, in fact, be going back to their hotel room to play Legos! Our shoot ended with a teary Brennan telling Nate, “I’m going to miss you” and my heart grew a million sizes and then abruptly shattered!

Can we talk about how time is going waaaaaaay too quickly lately? October 2013 :
