There’s really not much to say besides….OMG baby Luca is the cutest thing of life & he is a complete angel. I love this little family & I’m so happy to get to document them in various stages of parenthood.
Enjoy this cuteness. <3

I always talk about how much I love photographing families- but what I love even more is the opportunity to photograph families overtime & document them as they grow. I first met the Lail’s a few years back in an at home newborn session for their first daughter. Here we are now, years later, with new additions & this time playing in a field, but still as cute as ever.
It had been raining all day- Corrie & I were texting back & forth trying to decide whether or not to reschedule. Ultimately, we went for it & I’m so glad we did. The drizzle stopped just as we were arriving & the clouds made for a cozy vibe. Wrangling the babies & convincing toddlers to smile is a near impossible feat, but we had fun trying & I love the realness of these images.
Cheers to more sessions together & watching your sweet family grow!

Man, I love photographing families. There is something so beautiful about the craziness, the unpredictability, the chaos. Without fail, the kids never do what you want them to. They rarely smile on command or stand in the perfect light. But they run through the grass laughing, roll in the dirt grinning ear to ear, kiss their sibling as they wrestle them to the ground & hug their dads neck as he swings them into the air. I’m not a parent, but if I were, that’s what I would want hanging on my walls anyways. I would want to see my family just as they are- not totally in line, but having fun while trying.
The Ferraro’s were incredible. They simply existed in this field, hanging out & trusting me to capture them just as they were- happy, content, & loving on one another.

There's not much that will motivate me out of bed before the sun, but the kindest humans & an adorable baby playing in a golden field would definitely have to be on the top my list. <3
I first met Jay & Maria back in September when we ran around a downtown Orlando parking garage snapping some maternity photos. It was amazing to reunite last month, but this time with their freakinnngggg adorable son. The storm clouds rolled in as we played, but they pressed on & we had a great time. Jay & Maria , ya'll are such fun, silly people & I love getting to enter in to little moments in your lives.
Hope to see ya'll again soon! <3
I'd be lying if I said family photos with a newborn & the highest energy 2.5 year old around was a breeze, but if you have kids, you already knew that! One thing is for sure...ice cream makes it a heck of a lot easier. Abby, Julian & gang were down to get messy so we walked around Manhattan Beach until all our ice cream had melted, our pants were sufficiently sprinkle covered, & the California sun was setting into the Pacific.
Enjoy this little afternoon session of one of my all time favorite families in life.
My oh my, this family is the ultimate. Becca & I both grew up in Orlando & "knew of" each other through overlapping friend circles, but it wasn't until a few years ago when we ran into each other at a concert that we became actual friends. She is a super talented photographer so we quickly bonded over our jobs, our shared loved for getting as many Starbucks points as possible, & just our overall enjoyment of being ridiculous.
Becca & her husband, Bo, bought their first home together just in time for the arrival of their baby girl, Willa. The house is amazing & beautiful- filled with minimalistic decor & the yummiest light. It only made sense that we would shoot at home, in the incredible space where they are becoming a family.
Bo & Becca are so dang attractive & fun it almost hurts. Willa is a little treasure. And this day spent shooting with them was a downright blast for me. I love this family.
Get ready for some cuteness overload because Abby & Margot are next level. You might remember Abby from her maternity session in Orlando around this time last year OR her epic powder-filled gender reveal party. Well now, baby Margot has arrived & has been slaying hearts every minute of her 7 month existence.
I was so happy when Abby asked me to capture some Mother/Daughter photos of her & Margot in their Southern California home. I love when clients want photos "just because". It's not a birthday or an event or a milestone- it's just simply life & relationship. And in my book, that is certainly something to celebrate!
Abby & Margot have such a sweet & playful relationship. I kind of feel like they are always joking around with each other. Even being so young, Margot has a TON of personality. We had fun making these images & Margot kept us squealing from her cuteness. She hammed it up for as long as her little body could handle, then passed out in Abby's arms & slept for hours, which, of course, was also adorable.
Enjoy!
A few weeks ago, I was lucky enough to spend the weekend in Birmingham, AL. Birmingham is by far one of my favorite places to be- the people, the food, the scenery- all of it is amazing! During my visit, I was able to spend a lovely Sunday afternoon with the Lewis family. They had just welcomed a new baby boy named Henry a short 7 days earlier and I was invited to capture the fun new family dynamic.
I first met this amazing family about 2 years ago when my best friend, Kate, got engaged to Maggies' brother. Through various wedding events and family gatherings, I've been able to get to know Mitchell, Maggie, and, of course, the ever-adorable Bradford. Bradford was just about the cutest baby I had ever seen and it is no surprise that he has now grown into the cutest toddler around. He has a ton of energy which made sitting still for a photo not super high on his to-do list, but we had some fun running around the house, playing trains, and I even tricked him into smiling for me a time or two. :)
The Lewises are lovely people and I'm so glad I get to know them for a long time. A huge congratulations on baby Henry, I am so exited for you all!
Get ready for some tiny baby cuteness, plus that Bradford really knows how to turn up the cheese. ;)
