Maddie + Liam : Grand Floridian Family Session

November 10, 2016 by Jensey 1 Comment

I always miscount these things, but I’m about 80% sure this was our 9th(!!!!!!!!!!!!!) session with these guys. I know their momma will correct me in the comments! ;)

I can’t even express the joy we get from watching these little toots grow up and we’re honored to be their family photographers. <3 Lindsey has always made it a priority to document their family, and it’s such an inspiration to me. Nate and I had our first session (of us!) this year since our wedding- Almost NINE years ago y’all! We were needing an updated portrait for our adoption packets and realized that other than our traditional selfies, we hadn’t had someone else take our photo!

Whenever we’re lucky enough to become parents, I’m taking Lindsey’s note. I know I’ll never feel thin enough or pretty enough to have a session done, but it’s not for me. It’s for Baby Root. It would break my heart if we didn’t have a session with me in it for 9 years!

Anyway, thank you for inspiring me, Lindsey. I know I get a lump in my throat every time I look through our oldest shoots with y’all, and I know Liam, Maddie, and future grandkids will be so thankful for this gift of memories!!

But can we talk about how this is maybe my favorite brother/sister portrait ever?! Maddie is a Gap model in the making and Liam is a real life Calvin from Calvin and Hobbes!! This is them to me 100%!!

It always takes Maddie a little bit to warm up. ;)

But before we know it, Lindsey is jumping into her toddler comedy hour and killing it with the kiddos!

Can we talk about how Liam was this tiny when we first took his photo?!?!?

On our first family session with these kids, Liam was ovvvvvver photos at the end of our shoot! He started crying and Nate told Lindsey and Eric to follow suit. One of my all-time-favorite family photos came out of it! Lindsey wanted a recent take on it! :)

Julian : Downtown Winter Garden Family Portrait Session

November 7, 2016 by Jensey Leave a Comment

THIS. KID.

Who would have known that when we photographed Justin and Lu’s wedding 8 years ago, today they’d be two of our favorite friends!! And make the most creative, adorable, spunky, unique little boy I’ve ever met!!! This is Julian, and it feels like yesterday we photographed his first birthday cake smash at his home in New York. Nate and I were thrilled they came to visit us this year before our life got turned upside down! :)

Summer : Our Portrait Giveaway Winner!

September 21, 2016 by Jensey 1 Comment

Seeing as today is the last day of summer, it seems like the perfect time to share our session photos from our session with beautiful Summer! <3

Last summer, Nate and I had a portrait session giveaway. Summer had not one but TWO entries by her mom and aunt for her to win a shoot with us. They were both incredibly touching, but it was her Aunt Juliana’s that won us over.

Two year old Summer already battled pediatric liver cancer that had metastasized to her lungs. Summer had major surgery, a stem cell transplant and high intensity chemo, and is still always looking to play and find a way to be happy. Summer is still fighting away, and if you want to know more about her, you can read more on her Alex’s Lemonade Stand page here.

We returned to the Grand Floridian for Summer’s family session, which happens to be where we photographed her parents’ wedding, too. <3

My favorite part of the session was when Gina and Bob pulled out Summer’s Beads of Courage. I’d never heard of this organization, but they help children coping with serious illness record, tell, and own their story of courage. It’s impossible to look at this portrait of Summer and not feel overcome with emotion when you learn that each bead this two-year-old is wearing represents a type of hospital occurrence (like a needle stick, infusion, surgery, medication challenge, clinic visit, etc.)

#SummerStrong, indeed. <3

Summer’s session also included some friends, like her very best friend who happens to be the daughter of her mom’s very best friend. <3

I also have to point out that Summer’s adorable ensemble was handmade entirely by her grandmother!! Jo-Ann has seriously inspired me to step up my sewing game!!
