Brier + Brad : Orlando, Florida Wedding

September 23, 2016 by Jensey Leave a Comment

The weather this month has been pretty nuts. Every wedding day has had at least a shower or two and our sessions are constantly being rescheduled.

Brier and Brad’s wedding was no different. It was raining on our way in, but luckily stopped in time for their pre-ceremony portraits! By the time their dessert party came though, it was poooooouring. Like, Illuminations being delayed ~40 minutes bad! But lucky for us, these guys were just happy to be hanging out with their family and friends. No one complained that they were standing around in ponchos for an unknown amount of time. And Illuminations still happened. <3

This wedding came at a perfect time for us, because we were surrounded by people encouraging us about our adoption! Brier’s parents actually adopted her brothers from different countries. While we were waiting for Illuminations, the sweetest guest came up, gave me a huge hug, and told me about being adopted herself! This whole adoption has been wonderful, but we definitely have days where we’re feeling a little more scared and lonely. This was one of those days, and my faith cup just filled right back up. :)

Brier’s parents have always been big Disney fans. So much so that they named their only daughter after Briar Rose! I love love love love love that she walked down the aisle to “Once Upon a Dream” from Sleeping Beauty! <3

Kirsten + Walter : Disney Saratoga Springs Engagement Session

September 22, 2016 by Jensey Leave a Comment

Kirsten and Walter are from a small town in Florida and even though they went to high school together, they didn’t meet until years later. Walter was a month away from moving to Chicago when they met, but they knew they had something special, and it only took one year of a long distance relationship before Kirsten moved to Chicago as well. One year later and they missed the sunshine state way too much and knew it was time to come home. Walter proposed at Victoria and Albert’s, and we’re so excited for their wedding this weekend!! :)

These are a few of my favorites from their engagement session around Disney’s Saratoga Springs, a resort that’s extra special to these two. I loved the autumn-y feeling that some of these photos gave, and we had so much fun getting to know Kirsten and Walter around a resort that we don’t frequent too much. Wedding photos to come next! <3

Summer : Our Portrait Giveaway Winner!

September 21, 2016 by Jensey 1 Comment

Seeing as today is the last day of summer, it seems like the perfect time to share our session photos from our session with beautiful Summer! <3

Last summer, Nate and I had a portrait session giveaway. Summer had not one but TWO entries by her mom and aunt for her to win a shoot with us. They were both incredibly touching, but it was her Aunt Juliana’s that won us over.

Two year old Summer already battled pediatric liver cancer that had metastasized to her lungs. Summer had major surgery, a stem cell transplant and high intensity chemo, and is still always looking to play and find a way to be happy. Summer is still fighting away, and if you want to know more about her, you can read more on her Alex’s Lemonade Stand page here.

We returned to the Grand Floridian for Summer’s family session, which happens to be where we photographed her parents’ wedding, too. <3

My favorite part of the session was when Gina and Bob pulled out Summer’s Beads of Courage. I’d never heard of this organization, but they help children coping with serious illness record, tell, and own their story of courage. It’s impossible to look at this portrait of Summer and not feel overcome with emotion when you learn that each bead this two-year-old is wearing represents a type of hospital occurrence (like a needle stick, infusion, surgery, medication challenge, clinic visit, etc.)

#SummerStrong, indeed. <3

Summer’s session also included some friends, like her very best friend who happens to be the daughter of her mom’s very best friend. <3
