Palm Beach Family Photographer | {Vintage} Christmas Mini Sessions

This year for holiday portraits I wanted to do something different.  I wanted to incorporate a set into my holiday mini's and I went with a vintage {with a modern twist} set.  The mantel was the piece that tied it all together, big thanks to my brother Matt for building it.  Once it was built I aged it to give it the look I was going for.  Then I set it with some fun props and called it a day.

 

Let me start by saying the radar LIED!  There wasn't any green on the radar, although it was windy and had the feeling of rain... I made it through 5 sessions without more than a light sprinkle, but on my 6th it started to come down hard.  We had to throw the towel in at that point.  There is a strong possibility of having another mini session day so if you're interested please contact me asap.  This may be the last year I do mini's.

 

 

 

 

 


Palm Beach Photographer | Thanks for Giving... Give away....

So much has happened both in my personal and career life over the last year.  I'm extremely grateful to all the amazing friends, family, and clients who have seen me through.  Photography has helped to keep my mind off of more pressing issues in my life.  It's something I could do all day every day and never get sick of it.  It's such an honor to be a part of your life, photograph your memories, and watch your families grow.  The biggest compliment you can give me is to refer a friend to me and I'm about 80% word of mouth.  So for that, I thank you.

The month of November serves as two events.  First, it's Thanksgiving (of course!) and second, it's the birthday month of Mirrored Images.  This year I will be giving away a session to one lucky individual.  Send me your story, your triumph, and your blessings and I will read it and choose one lucky person to give a session to.  Nothing is off limits here.  Wedding, newborn, high school senior, boudoir, maternity, etc.  You tell me in your submission what you're interested in and if you win, it's yours.

All entries must be received by November 16th at midnight.  Please email your story to shootme@mirroredimages.net and include your name, age, location (must be willing to travel to Palm Beach County), session interested in, and the best contact number.  Your story will not be shared publicly so please don't hold back.  Tell me why you deserve this, tell me what you're grateful for, and tell me what obstacles you've overcome in your life.


Palm Beach Child Photographer | Ella {8 months + Holiday Session}

Miss Ella!  I photographed Ella as a newborn and at 3 months and now again at 8 months.  To save Ella from the pain of having her pictures taken again next month we also threw in some Holiday themed sets.  I love brainstorming with moms (and dads) on what to wear and what props to incorporate.  Ella is a total diva and deserved to be photographed as one.  The sun hat, scarf, and lacy skirt were screaming South Beach Baby and I love it!

I still have time slots available for my mini sessions, so hurry it up and book!

Palm Beach Photographer | Lisa + Remy

Lisa booked a pet session with me after hearing about my rescue pup being diagnosed with heart worm.  After a few rain checks we made it happen tonight.  We met in West Palm and I photographed Lisa with her adorable lil pup, Remy.  This was my first time photographing a session where the main subject was an animal and I've learned that pup's are much like babies and toddlers but more stubborn!  Haha despite the distractions at the park, Remy did a great job and Lisa was a great prop for Remy's session ;) .


Palm Beach Newborn Photographer | David {4 days... and 7 days old}

David is my new best friend.  After tonights session I am convinced that he'll always remember me.  Sunday I met the lil stinker and he didn't seem to like me.  But, when we met again tonight I'm 100% convinced we're BFFE's.  Sunday was a major meltdown.  Today, was another story.  Lets just say my laundry load is a large one ;).   I love him anyways and can't wait to watch him grow.  Ally and David you have an adorable lil man with a large personality.  You're doing a wonderful job as new parents!  Enough talk, lets see some pictures!!

With my custom design and photography skills you will have the best card on the mantel, for sure.

Palm Beach Maternity Photographer | Sam + Jared {Awaiting Baby}

Baby bump numero two for the weekend!  We headed to the coast for this session and after Hurricane Irene made her debut on Thursday, it was surprisingly {amazingly} beautiful there today.

I've known Jared for ... 10+ years {I'm not going to show my age....}  and when I found out him and Sam were expecting I gave them an offer they couldn't refuse for maternity pictures :)  Such a classy, beautiful couple and extremely easy to photograph.   They made it easy for me tonight, for sure.  I got to play in the tall beach grass I love so much {sometimes too much....} and they got to incorporate a few props into the session that have family meaning to them.

Big time thank you to my friend Sally who carried my heavy equipment tonight and last night.  I just don't have enough arms sometimes...

Now on to the pictures!

Palm Beach Maternity Photographer | Allyson + David {Awaiting Baby}

So I got an email from a lovely lady asking about maternity pictures, she booked me and after she found me on facebook I realized we went to middle school together.  Dumb me.... she knew this the whole time but I was pretty stoked that she found me!

Allyson and David are high school lovers, they married, and are expecting their first baby in a few short months.  David has been riding BMX for over 15 years so we took this session to the track, literally. :)  We were able to get the Okeeheelee BMX track all to ourselves and then moved to the other side of the lake for a few more shots before the rain rolled in.

Allyson and David purchased my belly to baby duo so be on the look out for little David's arrival.  Until then, check out the sneak peaks!!

Delray Beach FL Wedding Photographer | Mimi + Josue {Engaged}

Mimi was referred to me, through the wonderful word of mouth system.  Their wedding is 11/11/11 here in Palm Beach County and it's going to be a fun wedding, for sure.  This couple is super laid back, easy to get along with, and most important - so in l.o.v.e.  I caught so many candid shots of Josue pushing Mimi's hair out of her face, or staring into her eyes.  Sounds corny, but I swear it wasn't!  They're so sweet together.  We chose to photograph their session in the Morikami Gardens in Delray Beach.  Such a beautiful place, peaceful, and full of color.  We didn't make it far into the gardens because the heat was kickin' our tails, but we did get some great shots of them being in love :)

We went with a Chic/Geek theme which I thought was perfect because Josue is a gamer and into comic books and Mimi loves her geek!  So after a few fun themed shots we moved on to the more romantic, typical e-session shots.  I think they rocked it, they looked hot and of course in love!  Oh and her lashes, for real... I pay $5.99 a set to get lashes like that!  So jealous....
