Palm Beach Newborn Photography | Mason {4 days new}

Completely unbiased here, but Mason is the cutest baby I've photographed -- ever. He's my nephew and was born on Friday June 29th, 6lbs 12oz and 19 1/2 inches long. He's a little peanut! Long before Mason was even thought of, my brother had an idea of what he wanted his first borns pictures to be like. Matt works for PBCFR - Palm Beach County Fire Rescue (hopefully I will soon, too) and wanted to incorporate that into the session.

Congrats Matt and Lisa, you have a sweet baby boy <3


Palm Beach Newborn Photography | Emelie {10 days new}

So when I gave mom the low down on how to prepare for this session, she thought I was nuts. I can see where she thought that, because keeping a baby awake for an extended period of time is pretty nuts (especially when all mom wants to do is sleep!). But after the session mom was begging me to do nightly photo session of lil Emelie because she slept from 7pm to 12:30 am, ate and then she slept again until 6:30 am. I think it's safe to say I wore her out, but she was an excellent model!

Congrats on your beautiful little girl, Aritta. She's perfect.


Palm Beach Newborn Photography | Emma {5 days new}

Sweet, sweet Emma. She was born March 6th, making her 5 days new for our session (which was Sunday, on Sabrina's actual due date). Mom thought Emma was going to put up a fight, but after a good feed and some "shhhh" and head pats, Emma did just fine. She modeled my antique scale, new miniature wood bed (thanks to Mark!), a wire basket, and my pretty coral ruffle fabric. Grandma made a special request for a sleepy owl hat and after 3 crochet classes I finally got the hang of it and made it in time for Emma's arrival. It was a little big (ok, a lot big) but moms bobby pins came in handy and we made it work! She was perfect.

Thanks to mom and dad for allowing me to photograph such a big event in your lives. I can't wait to watch Emma grow!


Palm Beach Photographer | New Material

A few days ago I got this crazy idea that I should rebrand.  I say crazy because I literally JUST rebranded back in November.  I liked it at first, but I didn't feel like it went well with my personality or my style of shooting.  As I previously blogged about, I am relocating to Palm Beach next month and I felt that this would be a perfect time to change the look of everything.  I figured, I have to reorder everything to update the address and phone number so why not do it all!

I designed my logo and after enlisting in the help of a few good friends, we went with the color scheme and logo version you're seeing now!  Green and purple, dots and lines, and some sort of splotchy thing.  I feel like its fun, fresh, clean, modern, and definitely more my style!

Because I'm on a short time frame, with the move approaching in 19 days, I purchased a marketing kit from Go4ProPhotos that included all the templates you see below.  I spent the entire day plugging in my information, new colors & logo, and creating a kit for weddings and one for portraits.  Although it's a lot of polka dots, I really like it!  I can't wait to get it all printed and put together hard copies of my welcome kits.... and I can't wait to hear what everyone else  thinks of it.  So let 'er rip!  I want to know the good, bad, and the ugly!


Palm Beach Newborn Photographer | Baby Karigan {5 days new}

I had perfect timing with this trip to Florida.  Karigan was born just before I arrived in Palm Beach so at 5 days new we set up a newborn session for the lil lady.  She is so precious and loved.  She has an older sister and two older brothers, no doubt she'll be a spoiled lil thang.  We played with hats, headbands, boxes, and even some kitchen decor.  I'm looking forward to the next session with the whole family :)


Palm Beach Infant Photographer | Ella {3 months}

Ohhhhh this baby!  She smiles all day long and as soon as the camera comes out she's a diva!  No smiles, but we'll try for one next time.  We took Ella to the beach for her first outdoor photo session and then we went back to mom and dad's to finish the session in doors.  I just love her tutu!  Mom made Ellas headband which matched perfectly with the tutu.


Greenville Newborn Photographer | Lil' Gracie {4 days new}

What a day!  Miss Gracie definitely had us running on her schedule today.  After a while she gave in to the paparazzi and fell asleep.  Gracie was born on Memorial Day at 5:15 pm lbs 1 oz.  She sure gave her momma a hard time in the days leading up to her arrival, but she's absolutely perfect and as precious as they come.

I purchased these adorable hats from an awesome lady on Etsy.  She overnighted them to me so we'd have them in time for the session today.  Here's a link to her store!


March has been good!

I feel like I have a bunch of cheerleaders running around doing PR for me!  I've been very lucky this month and the hard work of my clients has not gone unnoticed.  If you have had or will have a session in March I will give you half off your next session. (Must be scheduled by May 31).  Just a way for me to say thank you to the great people I have been blessed to meet and photograph.

A promotion I am running now and will probably have for a while:  A client refers you to me and you book within 2 weeks of their session, you get $100 off the $250 session+cd package.

Get in touch with me asap if you plan to book in March... I am going on vacation March 27 to April 5th and I have a few more shoots this month before I go!

Thanks again!

RANDOM INFO

Need to get into shape before the big day?  I just started CrossFit.  It is an intense work out and if you take some time to google before and after images you will be pretty blown away.  Depending on your current size and goals after about 6 months you'll be ready to go.  Crossfit recommends you follow the 'Zone' diet... I have been on the diet 3 weeks and I have a lot more energy and I feel healthier.  It is an easy diet to follow, I can forward you information if you're interested.  www.crossfitgreer.com for more info on the work outs.


The blog!

I finally got around to making a blog and after several hours (and tantrums) I came up with a design that I was happy with.  But, don't be surprised if it changes often.

What to expect:

Along with facebook, our Photo Blog will include our favorite images from shoots.

You'll get the first peak at new promotions.

Company updates and news.

A HELP section (which will be us asking for your input.)

A heads up on up-coming shoots.

And much more :)

The web site has received great reviews and I hope that this blog serves as an aid to provide clients and potentials with as much info as they need.  Feel free to drop your comments - love is always welcome :)

As always - special thanks to Tanner @ TCWD for his patience and excellent work on the splash page and logo.  I told him I wanted something pretty and swirly and he did it!  Thanks to my clients that have been spreading the love and showing off their images.  BTW, I'm shocked that in a little over 4 weeks I was able to create a business from the ground up AND keep my sanity (while working a full time job and photographing on a fairly regular basis).  Whewww....

It's 1 AM and I've been up all day (and night) editing images and working on this blasted thing. Thanks for stopping by and feel free to bookmark us!
