Hallpants + Henrybear : Port Orleans Riverside Family Session

April 13, 2016 by Jensey 2 Comments

Ohhhh, these two bugs. If you’ve ever poked around this blog or my personal one, JenseyLoves, you’ve surely seen our cute nephews’ faces! If you’re new around here, meet “Hallpants“ and “Henry Bear,“ the sons of our best friends Nick and Jessie!

We are never without a camera when we’re spending time with this crew, but we hadn’t done an official “session” since Henry was a newborn. Shame on us!! We took them to Port Orleans Riverside before heading to play at the Magic Kingdom and photographed almost all of their session in this *one* pathway with amaaaaazing light.

My faaaaaaaaaavorite. <3

It was so hot out and these gentlemen were such good sports!

I can’t believe it’s been 13 years since Nick and I became friends while working at Dumbo in the Magic Kingdom! Who ever knew that cute boy at work would some day be one of my dearest friends and give me the two sweetest nephews I could imagine!

Jessie is the sweetest momma I know. She’s my Kate Middleton and I look up to her in every way possible. <3

Why do we call him “Hallpants?” I don’t know! Ever since Jessie was pregnant and knew they were having a son and naming him “Hall,” it’s sort of the only thing Nate and I have ever referred to him as! They’ve morphed it into “Hallman,” but he’ll always be Hallpants to meeeee!

Henry maaaaaaybe cut the shoot a bit short with this little move (Poor Jessie!) I love Hall’s face here, like, “Well, now you’ve done it, Henry!” Jessie, Nick, Hallpants, and Henry, we love y’all more than you know. Until next time! <3

Oh, how quickly life can wonderfully change in just a few short years! <3

This first one is one of my favorite family portraits ever!!

This was them just yesterday. Seriously. It feels like YESTERDAY!

Now Ashley and Jerome are the incredible parents to lucky Princess Isabella! <3

I never understood the whole eating babies thing until I became an aunt, and now I want to gobble alllllll the babies. <3

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!”
