Ashley, Jerome, and Isabella, it was truly such a pleasure and we hope to see you again real soon! <3

Violet + Eli : Orlando Family Portrait Sesssion

March 24, 2016 by Jensey Leave a Comment

*You can see our last two sessions with this sweet family here and here!*

Violet was only one when we first photographed her, and now she’s this amazing, silly, charming big sister.

This was our second time meeting Eli, and the biggest thing these siblings have in common is that they become infinitely cuter with every session!

I can’t believe it’s been ~8 years since Cynthia and Shane’s wedding day. Talk about “Root Lifers!”

My favorite part of the session was realizing that Eli didn’t remember us from our last session; I can’t blame him, it was a while ago and he was younger! But I went to put them in place, and he looked at me completely freaked out. “How do you know our names?!” I reminded him that we played and took photos with them a couple years ago and he goes, “Oh, good. I was worried for a second!” *I* think he was confused because we didn’t re-introduce Nate as “Miss Bobbi!”

Maaaaaaybe it’s just us, but we think Eli almost looks a little like a young Joseph Gorden-Levitt!

One guess as to who taught them this! (Answer at the bottom of this post!)

May I just lament for one second that Violet was this tiny the first time we met her?!?!?

Smith Family : Celebration Florida Family Portrait Session

March 23, 2016 by Jensey Leave a Comment

The spring before my family moved to Celebration, Florida from Tennessee, I did an internship with the Walt Disney World College Program to help me decide whether I wanted to stay at school in Tennessee or move with the family to Florida. I mean let’s be honest, I kneeeeew I wanted to move to Orlando, but it was a good excuse to come work for Disney a little sooner. ;)

Before long I was unpacking my Celebration bedroom realizing this was now home! And sure enough, these were three of the faces I met first as a Celebration resident. :) This family lived right behind us and I was as old as Cole, the oldest brother, and Charlotte was going to be a freshman at Celebration High with my little sister. There’s really nothing that makes a new house feel like a home more than your little sister running around with her new best friend! And as it turned out, Charlotte’s family was also from Tennessee, and in even more of a “small world” moment, Charlotte’s brother even went to high school with my suite mates at UT Knoxville!

Anyway, Charlotte emailed us last year saying that her parents will soon be moving out of Celebration following her dad’s retirement but they wanted to surprise her mom with a family session for her birthday. So. Stinkin’. Sweet. Charlotte’s brothers are now married and there’s a new star of the family, little miss Morgan! It was so fun meeting the newest family members. :)

Pam, Hershel, Kip, Missy, Morgan, Cole, Johanna, and CHARLOTTE! We love y’all and wish you the best, neighbors! <3
