Spencer : Grand Floridian Family Session

April 17, 2015 by Jensey 1 Comment

Once upon a time, we photographed Katie and Jason’s wedding in Ohio!

Katie and I worked together in Fantasyland so she comes back to Orlando pretty often. This was Spencer’s second trip to Disney, and our first time meeting her! It took us quite a while to line up a date that worked for both of us, and even though I’m bummed the weather didn’t exactly work out in our favor, I love the photos we came away with. :)

Faaaaaaaavorites. :) Katie, I loved watching you as a momma!

Miss Spencer, we so loved meeting you, and hope to see you again next year! :)

Ellie + John Thomas : Downtown Winter Garden Family Portrait Session

April 3, 2015 by Jensey 5 Comments

Lately I’ve been in a state of constant shock how quickly time is flying by. I’ve been getting all sappy about our nephews growing so quickly, and Ellie and John Thomas’s photo shoot was no different.

Look at all the stages of Ellie we’ve been able to capture!

John Thomas, or “JT” as he prefers to be called now (*gulp!*) was the first baby we ever photographed! He was just 9 months old on our first session, so all I have to do is look at him to have a physical reminder of how long we’ve been photographers.

We photographed John Thomas’s sessions before we even had a blog, but I did manage to track this one down!!

See why this family coined the term “Root lifers?”

We love this family so, so much and it’s been so special to watch these two grow. We’ve done their sessions in Celebration and their family nursery, so this time, we shot around downtown Winter Garden. :)

We usually just photograph the kids, but Misty realized they haven’t had a family portrait of them since Ellie was born. Nate and I were more than happy to fix that! <3

These twoooooooooooooooo! <3

One of my favorites.

I could shoot this one allllllllll day!

The one thing about this family that never changes? Misty never, ever ages!

We ended their session the way we should end every session- Mom and Dad whispering to each other which kid is their favorite. ;) Misty, I hope you know how much these sessions mean to us!! Thank you for letting us capture your family once again. Until next time! <3

William Otis : Jacksonville Family Session

March 27, 2015 by Jensey 3 Comments

Brooke and my parents were best friends before we were born, so I’ve known Brooke my whole life. Her mom is a true aunt to me, and everyone in this family is so special to mine! We photographed Brooke and Kyle’s wedding years ago, back when I didn’t used to blog every wedding, so sadly I can’t link to it. :( Last year, we photographed Brooke’s mom’s wedding (see Aunt Martha’s wedding here!), and this year, we’ll photograph her little sister Katy’s wedding in Arizona.

I was about to blog Katy and Nick’s engagement session when I realize I never blogged the session we did with her nephew!

So world, meet William Otis. <3
