Brave Mama-Jacksonville Maternity Photographer

I seriously have the best clients around. We had scheduled this maternity shoot earlier in the week when it looked like the weather would be great...as the week went on, the rain decided to pop up on picture day. The clouds loomed over all day but rain never came...that is until the minute she arrived for the shoot! I was trying to hide my complete stress-attack as I had planned mostly outside shots when she told me a little rain wouldn't stop her! Um, yes!!!! While it was coming down pretty hard we did some studio shots but then I grabbed 2 umbrellas and we hit the park next door. She never flinched...she just nailed every shot! She is amazingly beautiful and I am so excited to meet her daughter in a few weeks!!!

Celebrating Baby Owen-Jacksonville Family Photographer

Last weekend my Mom and I threw my sister a baby shower for her little Owen who is due in a few short weeks. We were on a tight budget so we opted to make a lot of the decorations ourselves. It was held at the beautiful Palencia Club and themed around the invitations created by the very talented Whimsy Whimsical. The cake was of course made by my favorite baker in the whole world, Love & Sugar Kisses. The goody bags on everyone's plate were filled with my sister's favorite candy, maple nut goodies!

Since I was hostess, I didn't take too many pictures during the shower but here are a few I took before everyone arrived. I'm a little sad that I don't have any more parties to plan for a while but really, really excited to be meeting my new nephew soon!

Newborns are not my specialty but oh how I have enjoyed having back to back to back little ones in my studio! Finally, a little girl!
