Family Spring Sessions | Bartow, FL

So excited to share some of my favorites from my recent family spring mini sessions! I don’t always offer family spring mini sessions, but I always love how they turn out when I do. There’s something so bright, colorful, and almost hopeful about spring time and knowing summer is right around the corner! Although, spring […]

The Brown Family

A couple of years ago, I had an amazingly epic photo shoot with this sweet family at Ft. Desoto beach. This year, we were trying to figure out how to top what we did last time. Well, I would say renting a beautiful gown and a fully restored vintage car definitely did the trick! We […]

Trisha & Bobby

As you know, I am not a wedding photographer, so I don’t get to shoot a lot of engagement sessions. So when I get asked to do one, I get so excited! These two were a joy to work with and I wish them all the best on their upcoming marriage.

Country Maternity session [Lakeland maternity photography]

A couple of weeks ago I had the chance to meet this awesome couple for a maternity session.  This setting was perfect for their country tastes, the weather was not too hot, not too cold that night, and they brought baby cowboy boots to incorporate into the session.  How can you go wrong with that?   […]

You probably recognize this couple by now.  I blogged about their pregnancy announcement back in August, then their gender reveal in October.  This month it was time for their “official” maternity session.   I have felt absolutely blessed to be walking through this exciting journey with them.   I have their due date highlighted on my calendar!  […]

Special Announcement [Lakeland maternity photography]

While I was on vacation with my family this summer, I received the sweetest email from someone who was newly pregnant and wanted a pregnancy announcement session.  She shared in her email a story of hope, loss, waiting, hope again, and now pure excitement.   I cried when I read her words and couldn’t wait to […]

The ‘E’ Family [Lakeland/Orlando family photography]

Happy New Year everyone!! I really can’t believe it’s 2015 already.  The older I get, the faster time flies I think.  🙂  The fall has been as crazy as ever for me with family sessions for the holidays.  I actually stayed in town for Christmas this year, so work hasn’t really slowed down yet.  I […]

The ‘J’ Family [Lakeland family and children photography]

The bulk of my sessions this time of year are family sessions.  I love family sessions! I love getting to know these families and watching the family dynamics and interactions.  Even though we are only together for about an hour, I really do feel it a privilege and an honor to spend that hour capturing […]

Aaron & Renee [Lakeland family photography]

By now I consider these guys my celebrity couple.  You may recall my post in the spring about Aaron finally moving home for the first time in 6 years since his motorcycle accident.  Seeing them this fall, I could tell how much being home has been so good for both of them – especially Aaron.  […]
