Julie + Nate : Winter Park Engagement Session

December 19, 2016 by Jensey Leave a Comment

This Orlando teacher and West Virginian physician met in high school and reconnected years later. Their relationship so far has been full of airport visits, but they’re looking forward to Julie finally putting down roots here with Nate in Orlando next spring! Julie picked their session location, Rollins College, after browsing the archives of our blog. I’m so glad they did, and she even picked her dress for photos in front of my favorite ivy wall! :)

If we couldn’t love them more, Nate is the cousin of our favorite Root Lifers- The blog-famous Taylor family! <3

Thank you for the wonderful afternoon, y’all!! Happy wedding planning! :)

FAVORITE. <3

Alyssa + Austin : Winter Park Orlando Family Portrait Session

December 15, 2016 by Jensey 2 Comments

I can’t even believe it’s been 5 YEARS since our last session with these sweet Root Lifers. <3

Andrea and Brian were married ~7 years ago, and met us for a family session around Port Orleans Riverside with their sweet baby girl, Alyssa. This was my favorite family photo from that session…

And look at them now!!!!!!!!!!! <3

We met them at Rollins College Campus for these photos. My favorite part about their session was that Alyssa kept asking her mom when the “real photographer” was going to get there, lol. I don’t think she was expecting us to just play with them for an hour for their photos! :)

Stop. This. Train. <3

Alyssa was so incredibly sweet and spunky and truly stole our hearts. Our shoot began with Alyssa telling Mom a secret about us- Specifically, “That man is SO funny, Mom.”

This was our first time meeting sweet Austin!! :)

“Meatball Kiss” from Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs! <3

A little rock, paper, scissors break. <3

We also had a dance competition break, and Alyssa was NOT pleased that as a judge, I decided it was a tie. <3

That moment we knew our subjects were DONE!

Andrea, Brian, Alyssa, and Austin, we had TOO much fun. Thank you for everything, and we hope your “real” photographer finally showed up, lol! :)

Nicole + Michael : Walt Disney World Wedding Part II

Make sure you saw part one of this gorgeous day first! :)

I’m pretty sure if you look up “fairytale,” this should be the photo that pops up!

Who knew that becoming a wedding photographer would lead to so much time spent editing out droppings from Cinderella’s ponies? ;)

So. Many. Favorites. <3

Fiiiiiiiiiinally reunited with my favorite Orlando ballroom! :)

Maybe my favorite photo I’ve taken all year. <3

Nate’s version of the same moment!

Nicole brought a photo of her with Mickey and Minnie when she was a little girl! <3

Serious bow envy over here…

Charles Miles kept the dance floor packed and even threw in a little N’Sync Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays! :)

One of my favorite things about this job is going through Nate’s photos and seeing how *he* saw the day. This was one of my favorite photos from the night!! :)

Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd if I couldn’t love them more, their last dance was to Mariah’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You.” Life. MADE. <3

YOU GUYS. We had such a blast photographing your wedding- Thank you for the incredible honor. Now let’s be friends forever! ;)
