Almost all of us have struggles in life. For those that say they have none, well, they struggle with the truth and honesty. Just sayin’! Some of our struggles are private and hidden, and others are out there for the world to see. Some struggles come and go, and others hang around, nagging us every day. (And, oh, do I have many!!) For Sarah, her struggle was to find herself, hidden under some extra weight. So in July of 2010, she had surgery to assist in that quest. Well, in the process of finding herself, she lost a lot of [...]

Lake City Portrait Photographer :: A New Sarah
Isleworth Portrait Photographer :: Luka Family
Rarely do people randomly find us online, since about 99% of all our clients come from direct referrals and we don’t advertise. However, the mom did find us online from Tampa and was drawn to our authentic style of capturing kids being kids and documenting not only what people look like, but who they are and the relationships around them. Mike met them out at Isleworth for a fun session with the family and grandparents. The morning grass was a little too wet and messy for the little ones, but we created some great images, nonetheless! What precious little girls [...]
Lake City Family Photographer :: Asa Turns One
Life can throw you a curve ball at any minute. We are not guaranteed next week or even tomorrow. All we have is right now, the very present moment in which we are living. And it should be appreciated and treasured. We should be present to the life and love that is around us. Curve balls are not necessarily bad things. They just are. They are there to keep us on our toes and aware in the game of life. Too many of us just go through the motions on a daily basis, often not truly seeing what’s right in [...]
Lake City Newborn Photographer :: Meet Molly Catherine
We first met Rob, Andrea & Lilla during our holiday mini sessions in 2010. What a beautiful family! We were thrilled when they asked us to document their newborn daughter, Molly, who came into the world in February as a leap-year baby. She obviously was holding out for something special, and her birthdate certainly qualifies. She has something else special in that Miss Lilla is her big sister. What a wonderful friendship these two have in store! The foundation of everything we do is capturing and documenting relationships. We want to capture what’s significant and sentimental. The relationships in this [...]
Orlando Newborn Photographer :: Baby Simon
Jill & Jonathan welcomed their firstborn son into the world in February. We were delighted to be able to document this amazing time for them. We were also there to capture the very creation of this family as Jill & Jonathan became husband & wife in 2010. You can read all about their love story here and see their wedding day here. We are always honored by the trust our couples and families place in us to preserve these memories. It’s especially meaningful to be able to tell the stores of our couples as their families grow.

Lake City Newborn Photographer :: Meet Baby Ruby
I honestly can’t tell you how excited I am and how completely honored we are to be able to be a part of this family for another year! Mike is literally giddy every time he knows he has a session with this most adorable family. Baby Ruby was brought into the world at the end of January to three (yes 3!) siblings under 4. That makes 4 under 4 To know this family is to know organized chaos, so to speak, but also to know complete love and acceptance. To know that each child has a place to be – [...]
Orlando Baby Photographer :: Baby Conley at 8 months
Last month we got to capture some great images of Baby Conley at 8 months. He is such an adorable child with such a great grin! He’s growing up so fast, as they all do. We don’t notice it as much since he is our neighbor and we see himpretty often. He is the baby of Jill & Cary, whose wedding we also documented. It been such an amazing experience to watch them become awesome parents. Jill is a fantastic mom, and Cary is a proud dad. He’s teaching Conley all the important things, like how to walk in boots [...]

Miss Joss turned one last October and had a fabulous shabby chic party with friends and family to celebrate. The details were amazing and the presentation was flawless.

You can see that session and all her other sessions here. At the time of Jocelyn’s party, she had another sister on the way. She is now a “big” sister!! She is so precious and we have enjoyed so much watching [...]
Lake City Newborn Photographer :: Shelby Tate
The circle of life. It’s a fact of life. People come and people go. Our time here is so short and so precious, and we never know when our last moments with someone will be. Time together should be treasured, remembered and captured. Not long after this family brought into the world a baby so dear, another one so dear was taken away – the circle of life…… Two lives to be celebrated for this family for very different reasons. One new life celebrated for what it will bring to the world and to others and the other life celebrated [...]

She was almost a Christmas present, but she decided to wait. This way, she has another fun day to celebrate the day after Christmas. She’s a smart one Baby Amelia arrived to loving and excited parents and a proud big brother on December 26, 2011. We were there not long after to document this amazing time for this family. We were there just the week before for their maternity session! When capturing moments like these for families, we want to answer the questions “How was I loved” and “What did that love look like?” We very much focus on the [...]
