Class of 2013... The Graduate... Palm Beach High School Senior Photographer

I really enjoyed meeting Kaylyn a few weeks ago for her cap and gown portraits for High School.  We had so much fun at the session (in my new studio.... thanks to tons of rain, which we eventually dodged to get an outside shot at the end!).... Her parents just wanted a "classic" cap and gown portrait... which we took... then we took a bunch of fun ones too!  Lots of laughter as we "perfected" the cap toss... overall a GREAT time!

Congrats Kaylyn... I know you will enjoy EVERY MINUTE at FSU! (Go Noles!).  Best Wishes in all of your future journies!

Sweet Baby K... 1 week old... Jupiter Newborn Photography Studio

A few weeks ago, I got to meet sweet baby K.  She was my very first baby in my NEW studio space (blog post about studio space, coming soon!).... and she was a dream to work with.  Such a gorgeous little babe and so sleepy and sweet.  We had a blast posing her in the new studio and I am so pleased with how her session turned out! Here are a few of my faves:

The D twins turn 3... Palm Beach Child Photographer

It was so much fun meeting the adorable (almost 3 year olds) J and A for their birthday session.  Not only are they cute as a button, but they have awesome personalities too!  Miss A is sweet and quiet and Mr. J is a bundle of fun energy!  I loved working with these two! 

Here are some of my favorites from the session! :)

Waiting for little sister... K's maternity session! Palm Beach Maternity Photographer

I had so much fun working with K and her sweet family to capture some fabulous maternity portraits just days before she delivered sweet princess #2.... can't wait to capture her newborn portraits!  We had a great time at the maternity session letting Miss S paint her belly... so much fun!

Party of 15+dog... Palm Beach Extended Family Photographer

When S first contacted me a month ago about setting up a session for her large, extended family who would all be vacationing in Palm Beach County, I was excited about capturing such a large group.  I've photographed extended families before, but it had been awhile.  I met her a few days before the shoot to drive around their community where her dad lived & find some fabulous spots... which we sure did!  I absolutely LOVED the way this many people coordinated themselves so perfectly.  S sent out a color scheme for everyone to stick within and everyone listened perfectly and it looks so great! It was a fun session!  And I loved using some fabulous furniture pieces from the awesome Colt & Coop supply and design! 

The J Family.... Jupiter Beach Portraits.... Palm Beach Family Photographer

I love working with families while they are vacationing down here in Palm Beach County..... they are always happy & relaxed - hey, who isn't when you are on vacation!  It was a pleasure meeting up with the J family a few weeks ago to capture some family portraits for them. 

 

Mommy & Me.... Jupiter child and family photographer

I love capturing connections.... ESPECIALLY connections between a momma and her little ones.... That amazing bond that only exists between them.  I had the pleasure of working with several mommas with their littles recently and I loved capturing this bond.  Here are a few of my favorites from my "Mommy and Me" mini-sessions. 

Salt, Sand, Surfers... GROM Styled Session... Jupiter Child Photographer

A few weeks ago, I mentioned to Tamlyn that I wanted to do a fun session... She started rattling off all of these ideas and kept throwing out the word "grom" - which I had never heard of before....So, I looked it up.... and a grom is basically an awesome young surfer.  So... I was totally on board for that!  Tamlyn's boys (Colt & Coop) are just the perfect little surfer models - totally grom.... and I knew my friend little Zaida would be a fab model too - love her fun curly hair... and I brought my girls along for the playdate as well! 

Here are some of my FAVORITE images (there are a LOT) from our fun grom-inspired surf shoot.... I just LOVED everything that Tamlyn created for this shoot.... if you haven't already, check her out at Colt & Coop Supply and Design for Photographers.... she is amazing!

A little family picnic... Jupiter Family Photographer

I so enjoyed  meeting up with the J family last weekend to capture some fun moments from their little famly picnic!  Mr. L, the adorable 2-year old, was SO much fun to photograph... he had such a great personality!  Loved our little picnic set up - simple & sweet... the vintage picnic basket from Colt & Coop Supply and Design for Photographers was the perfect touch!
