Jessica + Mike : Grand Floridian Engagement Session

May 24, 2017 by Jensey Leave a Comment

Jessica and Mike are getting married this summer in Ohio. While we won’t be there for the wedding, we were honored to photograph their engagement session around the Grand Floridian! Fun fact : Remember the family session we shot last year where the parents met as teenagers while vacationing at the Grand in high school? This is Jessica, Casey’s little sister. <3

Jessica has been staying at the Grand Floridian every year for the past *26* years!! Mike is now a part of the fun, so what better place to shoot their session than the Grand?!

The lighting that morning was perfect. Like… Perrrrrrfect. <3

So. Many. Favorites. <3

Jessica, you’re going to be such a stunning bride! <3

We ended the session meeting up with Jessica’s family and shooting a Mickey balloon release for her mother in heaven. It was a moment I won’t forget. <3

Jessica and Mike, thank you for letting us capture this season in your life!! <3

Bryan : Winter Garden Newborn Session Photographer

April 21, 2017 by Jensey Leave a Comment

Allyson and Jeff are first-time parents to the sweetest baby boy, Mr. Bryan. <3

We were so happy they welcomed us into their home for this special time! Bryan was such a good sport and I was beyond smitten with his nursery. It was like being in an RH Baby and Child catalog! <3

We’ve been preparing our home for someday baby Root for what feels like an eternity now and it was so fun seeing things I’ve been wanting for the baby being used. I felt like Ally and my browser histories must be verrrrry similar! :)

One of my favorites. Ally is such a good momma. <3

I can’t. <3

My other faaaaavorite!

And then we fell in love. With big sister Wendy!! <3

THE BEST!!! <3 Ally, Jeff, Wendy, and Bryan- Thank you so much for letting us capture this special time!! :)

Taylor + Michael + Dylan + Andersen : Orlando Family Session

April 18, 2017 by Jensey Leave a Comment

Once upon a time, we photographed Taylor and Michael’s engagement session on Michael’s family’s property, their wedding in the Bahamas (!!!!) and then their first family session when their oldest, Dylan arrived. Then we photographed them in Winter Garden when that baby turned into a spirited lil’ girl, and now when that spirited lil’ girl became a big sister. <3

Our “Root Lifers” are the heart and soul of why we do what we do, and why, somehow, we’re 11 years into a career we adore.

I’m so excited to share this sweet family session with you, which happens to take place on their family property, where we photographed their engagement session forever ago! :)

Their session started with their girls in adorable red dresses, but *spoiler alert*, that didn’t last long! ;)

Dylan decided the shoot was much more suited for a My Little Pony dress, and I can’t say I disagreed! ;)

So. Many. Favorites. Also, Dylan is a modern-day Pippi Longstocking and I’m obsessed. :)

Caaaaaan we talk about Andersen’s baby blues?!

You can tell these girls haaaaate their momma! ;)

We met sweet Riley years ago at their engagement session and were lucky enough to meet again just before she passed. I love these photos of Taylor with her best girl. <3
