Adam + Jenn + Jack + Jill : Winter Park Family Photographer

November 15, 2016 by Jensey 3 Comments

Seeing as we’re so close to Thanksgiving (how did THAT happen?!), I can’t think of a better family to share than this one… Our original “Root Lifers!”

Adam and Jenn were my second-ever wedding, Nate’s 3rd, and forever have a piece of our hearts! We photographed their family session since Jillian was a baby, and now look at these guys! Well, Adam and Jenn look the *exact* same if not better, but Jillian is so big!!! Her wedding will be here before we know it!! ;)

We are only in business today because of people like Adam and Jenn who, 10 years later, are still passing us on to their friends and families. Word of mouth referrals have been the backbone of our business and we couldn’t stand here without them.

We met up with Adam and Jenn ON their 10th anniversary to capture their life now. <3

Just a little reminder: This is what they looked like on their past couple sessions (click a photo for more from that shoot!)…

… And here they are now!!

Obligatory walking-by-the-dumpsters-for-a-good-photo-spot-trust-us photo.

Beautiful Jill. <3

Silly Jack. <3

I don’t even know how this beautiful girl happened! I swear she was just a baaaaby!!!

One of my faaaaaaaaaaaaaaavorites! :)

Adam, Jenn, Jack, and Jill, thank you for playing with us!!! We can’t wait ’til your 20th. <3

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?!?!?

Omg, Maddie and that little finger is my favorite thing ever. <3

No one dresses her daughter better than Lindsey!! <3

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! :)

Nate and Liam raced each other at the end of the session and I love the photo Nate got mid-race! Liam was verrrry focused, lol!

COME BACK SOON, FRIENDS! Miss you already!!! :)

Julian : Downtown Winter Garden Family Portrait Session

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! :)

I. MEAN.

Julian loves rocks, Star Wars, and John Williams scores. <3

Seriously. Wasn’t this just yesterday, Lu?!?

Julian, Disney World misses you!! Come visit again soon!! :)
