Baby Nora {Brevard County Newborn Photographer}

I love referrals. They are the best gift my clients can give. Jessica contacted me after Elena had shared her images from Harper's newborn session. It's such a great feeling when friends do this!

Jessica and Nick were so excited to be parents. The smiles on their faces just beamed. When I went to their home they were just so excited to have newborn pictures taken. Jessica and Nick were also doing what most new parents do, celebrating a poopy diaper! It was so great. I know as a mom, the strangest things from poopy diapers, to watching them do something so simple can bring us so much joy.

I always send out a session prep guide to my clients for newborn sessions. It helps calm any fears and prepares them for what to expect for the session. Jessica did such a great job following it. Nora, was such a sound sleeper the entire session. 

Since I had a string of baby boys, I was excited to have a little girl. So excited in fact that I made this awesome floral wreath for one of her prop shots. It came out so great. I love it!!! We were able to get beanbag shots, props shot and family shots. Nora rocked her session and I cannot wait to see her at her next milestone since she is an official Baby Plan Baby! :)

Whether you are welcoming your first baby, second baby or last baby, I want to capture their sweetness and preserve these memories for you to cherish for years to come. Want to learn more about my newborn sessions, contact me today. Look forward to speaking with you.

Meet Baby Cole {Brevard County Newborn Photographer}

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of photographing Baby Cole. He is welcomed into the world by his parents Ashley and Jim and his sweet big sister Avery. Avery was such a big girl and did so well for her shots with baby brother. A lot of times when you shoot young kids with a newborn they don't want anything to do with them and they actually can throw tantrums. Avery was a dream. She would give brother kisses and do just as we instructed her. She is going to be a great big sister.

Mom and Dad did awesome too. I mean after all they brought sweet Cole into this world. He is perfect in every single way. I am so happy their little family is doing great and this sweet boy completes it so well.

We were able to do family shots, sibling shots, a few beanbag poses and a couple prop shots. He loved being swaddled so we went with what he liked. Baby's safety and comfortableness is always my number one concern. I never try to risk a shot unless the baby gives me the ok. Look at these sweet images.

 Have a little one on the way and want to document their newborn stage? I would love to chat with you. I provide all the supplies you just provide the sweet baby. Let's plan your little one's first modeling gig today!

Custom Print Orders {Brevard County Photographer}

So late last year and earlier this year I mentioned how I wanted my clients to have tangible assets when working with me. I felt just giving you a digital copy of your images was a huge disservice to your experience. This was a HUGE risk for me to take. It seems that 90% of all photographers just give the digital files and short change themselves and their clients. We invest in these amazing cameras and education on posing and editing that we should do more than just give a digital image. These images are designed to be printed and enjoyed on our walls not just our social medial walls.

Fortunately, a lot of people liked this idea and have kept me very busy this year. That means a lot to me. When you are in a saturated market of talent, it is very easy for people to not see your vision and go elsewhere....so thank you!!!

I have also mentioned goals I am always working on. Blogging more has been one of them, I am getting better and another is showcasing the products people are ordering. I struggle with this one since I take the picture while wrapping it up and I don't want to ruin the surprise until they get it and then I get busy with 5 other things and never post it. Soooo here are a few orders that I have had the pleasure of creating and sending out.

 Looking to add custom prints to your walls? I sit down and work with you during the ordering process to help determine which sizes are right for you. I want you to hang your family portraits on your walls and I want to help. Let's chat!

Madison Grayce: A story of Hope {Brevard County Newborn Photographer}

This is one of the most touching sessions I have done to date. You may want to get some tissues before you sit down and read this.

Meet George and Megan. I met Megan at West Shore JR/SR High School in the 9th grade back in 2000....over 17 years ago. We had mutual friends and hung out a lot. I left the school the following year and she eventually moved to Japan since she was military. There she met George who was also a military family. They left Japan and landed back in Fl and their relationship blossomed and they wed. As many young couples, they dreamed of a family. They longed for it, but once they began to get serious they realized this dream was going to be a little harder for them.

Megan and George underwent the IVF process three times to try and conceive with no success. Those of you that have gone through this process know the struggle the faced here. Between the shots, the stress, the hormones, the financial strain and the glimmer of hope taken after each failed attempt, they never let go of their dream to have a family. As friends, I just saw a small glimmer of their struggle.

Since IVF did not work, they began to look for other alternatives for having a family. They looked into foster care and even adopting through foster care. Then they began to work with an agency to adopt. Last year they finished the last leg of the process. Again, like IVF, adopting is another process that takes a huge toll of you. But this past March they finally got a call. There was a mother expecting a child in Tampa and wanted to interview them. As Megan recalls it was the biggest interview of her life.

They were chosen and super excited to finally welcome a baby into their hearts and home. Their family was about to be complete. I will never forget when I read the message from Megan about newborn photos for their soon to be little girl. I was so excited for her. Having struggled to conceive myself, I knew the joy she must have felt to have her prayers answered. Their little girl was due in May.

Unfortunately due to some health risks the mother had, Madison Grayce came 9 weeks early. At 31 weeks 5 days Madison was delivered safely weighing a hefty 2lbs 11oz! A tiny miracle with a long road ahead. George and Megan finally had their little girl but they would still have to wait until Madison was healthy and strong to be released. They spend 29 days in NICU over in Tampa. Thankfully the Ronald Mcdonald house allowed them to stay there to avoid commuting. They were able to bond with their baby and watch her grow strong. Once she reached 4lbs she was able to go home.

When I went to their home, there were so many waves of emotion that filled their house. Happiness and joy just beamed from their faces as they looked at their sweet girl and held her. She was their ray of hope. She was their miracle. As Megan said: She is the answer to our 10 year wait...definitely work the wait! I couldn't agree more with that. I am so thankful to have been a part of this special time and to document sweet Madison. She is so precious and loved. It brings me so much joy knowing my work is providing them memories they will certainly cherish forever. This is a memory they will never forget. Congrats Megan and George, Madison is precious!!!
