Have I mentioned that I ADORE shooting in new places?

Well I do. And ever since Dave and I visited this spot in Orlando last year I’ve wanted to do a session here. Last weekend I finally had my chance.

Lauren and her gorgeous family live in Orlando and since I was headed up there for Heather & Ian’s wedding, it worked out perfectly to do their session at this dreamy locale.

I’ve known Lauren since college but I was delighted to meet her handsome boys. Daniel and Baby Brock were just as charming as anything and I truly felt like I’d won the family shoot lottery.

Lauren and Daniel, thanks for a fun morning! Another thanks to our helpers Shannon and Uncle “Tom” for your creative contributions. And thanks to God for this heavenly light!

Fave. This next shoot literally makes my heart flutter.

Love this little face.

Uncle Todd is pretty cool, but these baby rolls peeking out are just scrumptious.

It’s been too long since my friend and JLP assistant Kelly B. has graced my blog.

She is expecting baby #2 and today was the big day that she and Brad found out the baby’s gender.

I convinced her to come straight to my house from her dr. so we could shoot a few fun family shots to use for the big announcement!

Drumroll…..

Now if they could just decide on a name…

Kohen and I were instant buddies. He let me snuggle with him while Heather finished prepping for the shoot and we bonded. I whispered to him that he was going to love having his picture taken. And he sure did. This 8-wk old was so infatuated with the whole thing that I had no problem capturing his adorable expressions. Getting those sleepy aloof infant photos was another issue but I’ll trade those for some sweet smiles any day! Heather and Jimmy made one amazing kid and I am whole-heartedly smitten.

How could I not be?

I love Heather’s “mommy” faces!

Jimmy gave Heather that bracelet the day Kohen was born.

look at that little tongue!

We did happen to luck out with a couple sleepy shots at the end. I love yawning babies. What could be cuter?

Lauren Daversa is a phenomenal wedding planner in the area who has also become a great friend. We are constantly chatting about ideas, tips, and whatever else is on our minds.

Back in December Lauren got together with her family and decided to purchase a gift certificate for her in-laws for Christmas.

When the time finally came for our session, she shared with me that she had decided to spice things up a little bit so she handmade some “props”.

Knowing that everything she touches turns to gold, I was sure I’d love whatever it was. And I did. And so will you.

I had a blast hanging with The Daversas on Saturday morning and here are just a few of my favorite “organic moments”.

Meet Lauren & her hubby Greg.

This is their sweetie-pie Addison.

These are Greg’s parents and they are clearly 100% adorable on Jeff’s shiny Ducati.

or just sitting on the front porch.

or even just hanging out on the swing.

The guys were just begging to get out Lauren’s props for their photos so we to oblige.

Everyone had to get in on the fun.

Even Lauren’s niece, Gracie wanted a piece. Just a piece.

Uncle Andrew also enjoyed some fun of his own.

and some time with a cutie.

The Daversa Family was super fun and I totally loved every minute I spent with them. How could I not?

SO until next time…

I am super blessed to have a great group of local photographer girlfriends, called SoFly. I LOVE spending time with these girls. It is so encouraging to have a community of women who know your world and can offer support from their unique point of understanding.

Kat Braman is one of these girls. She is an incredible photographer and I am intensely honored to call her a friend. Her work is beautifully unique and never ceases to amaze or inspire me.

So when she asked me to photograph her for maternity portraits I was flattered and a bit nervous.

As the time approached it became necessary for me to send my camera and two staple lenses away for repair, meaning I had to rely on back-up gear for Kat’s session. I will confess I’ve become very spoiled with fantastic gear so I was super anxious about shooting Kat’s session with my old gear. But Kat was understanding and we went for it anyway. We had a gorgeous day and a ton of fun shooting together and the images actually turned out ok.

Here are just a few of my favorite shots. How gorgeous is she? Definitely glowing!

Tookie was scared that Mommy was going to get hurt by a train so we didn’t last long shooting at the tracks. Sweet little guy.

I can’t take credit for the coolness of photo on the right below. That was all Kat’s idea and I stinkin love it.

This past Saturday I came together with 14 of South Florida’s leading photographers to host a day of mini-sessions with 100% of proceeds going to benefit the earthquake relief in Haiti. We had a great day and I just happened to be the luckiest photographer there. Why? Well I got to photograph the cutest double O I’ve ever seen.

Owen stole my heart on Saturday and he can just keep it because I wouldn’t have a chance trying to get it back.

His momma, Courtney, is a great friend and fellow photographer and in my opinion, pretty darn cute too.

This is my fourth year offering these sessions and amazingly each family photo shoot still takes on a life of its own. The blending of unique personalities and exciting locations always makes for some photo fun. Like this shoot with the Miller Family. Enjoy!

what an honor to be present for the awakening of sleeping beauty…

After approximately 45 seconds with this family I was in love. Why? Well they are sweet, beautiful and they moved a sofa into the backyard for our shoot. What’s not to love?

We had a great time just letting the kids be kids and here are a few of my favorite moments from our session.

love daddy-daughter moments

someone had a blue lollipop…

I love watching kids grow. Seeing their passions and personalities develop is one of the many joys of life. Savannah Anselmo is a prefect example of this. I first met her almost a year ago when they drove all the way up from Miami for her photoshoot at Coral Cove. I was connected with them through a non-profit organization to photograph families of children with difficult diseases. You can read more about Savvy’s story here. Dave and I were both incredibly humbled by the courage and joy in their hearts in spite of what they faces every single day.

Savvy’s parents are the picture of love and strength in the way the care for and enjoy their little darling. One of their favorite places is the beach so although it was the windiest day of the year, it seemed fitting that we return there for the session. Here are a few of my favorite shots.

She didn’t mind the wind one bit- just wanted to be by the sea. I can relate. love these.

i love the bravery and symbolism in this shot from the playground.

Have I mentioned that I love meeting new people? I do. Especially new people in the Nashville area. Specifically Lauren Rauter, owner of Franklin’s Rock Paper Scissors stationary shop. Here’s how it went down; I walked in to her shop, fell in love, made eye contact with her gorgeous holiday card collection and I was in awe. Any girl who knows the value of high quality printing and good photography is a girlfriend of mine. So we got to talking, emailing and now blogging. I like her. You will too. So make sure you check out Lauren’s post for today, titled: “Say Cheese”
