I believe real life moments are imperfectly perfect and are worth capturing.
I create art for people who can't help but smile at their loved ones.
It's real life. It's real art. It's real life as art.
So, sit back and enjoy some beautiful images from my business and a little about my family and loved ones too. After all, I'm running a business in the community I was born and raised in. But it's more than just business when my clients welcome me into their lives and their homes.
Another beautiful family from the fall! Yes, I do seem to attract a large number of very attractive families! This family was so much fun. We laughed and laughed A LOT at this session. It made for great natural expressions! I just loved the images from this session!
I met up with Mr. A this fall at the Palma Sola Botanical Gardens. His mom said that one of the things he LOVED to do was to explore the outdoors and he especially loved flowers. This location was perfect for him! He gave me such a variety. Some great smiles, some flirtacious looks, and some images with mom that just melt my heart!

He is so handsome and totally a ladies man right? Love the two of him and his momma!
Amongst all the family sessions in the fall, I did have my fair share of newborns as well! This is little Miss A. She made us work for her to get to sleep, but was so cute, that all was quickly forgetten when we saw how adorable the images were!

Do you have that one area of your home that when things get hectic, it gets neglected? No? Well, I do. For me, in my business, that’s my blog. I always intend to keep 2 posts a week up here. And well, that just flat out hasn’t happened lately. I was very blessed with a busy fall full of beautiful newborns and families. Then in early December, we found out we are expecting baby #3! I’m due in mid-August (in Florida, I know. Send ice and air conditioning). I am a person that gets hit HARD by morning sickness, so it’s been survival of the fittest here for a while.
I have a great photographer friend, Kimberly Svenson, of Fanciful Photography. We’ve met up the last 2 years to do a short session swap with our families. Our husbands wrangle our kids while we shoot the other’s photos for Christmas cards. There are a few photos in this mix that are taken by her (the ones with me in them, for instance). I’m so grateful!
Up first is a couple photos from our annual trip on the day after Thanksgiving to pick out our Christmas tree. I started when Carter was about 14 months old with the “wear the Christmas shirt and mom runs ragged trying to snap a few pics”. This year was no exception because Bodie is FAST and (like most almost 2 year olds) is a wee bit less than cooperative for photos.
Here are some other photos of us and the kids! I have a few outtakes as well, but I’ll save those for another post. This post is pic heavy enough as it is.

Jen, your family is SO GORGEOUS! I really really REALLY love the series of your boys with the striped shirt and sweater (C) and vest (B). PERFECT!
Jennifer, I look at these often….have your Christmas cards from each growing year and pray for all of you all of the time. So beautiful and precious ( also handsome, Richie!) Mema
This is not a family I have to worry about showing up in khaki’s and white shirts. They always come dressed in some great color scheme’s. In fact, I was talking about this session to another photographer friend last night (when I realized I hadn’t blogged it). We met up at Selby Botanical Gardens on a windy day, but we found some gorgeous pockets of shade and I am just thrilled with the results!
As a side note. You’re going to see a lot of catching up from the fall for me here for the next few weeks! I’ll share a more personal post next to fill you in on the fun.
