Palm Beach Family Photography | Julian is TWO!
Julian and I went on a nature hunt in the wet lands. We looked for imaginary rabbits, "eww bugs" and secret birds in the trees. Mom and Dad came along for the journey too and brought their pet fish who was pretty shy when it came to camera time.
Julian & Crew were celebrating Julian's second year of life by showing off how much he has changed since he was an infant. He's full of life, energy, and is such a happy little guy. Michele and Chris, you're blessed to have an awesome kid and I'm glad I could be part of the memory making.
West Palm Beach Photographer | Maternity Photography
About a month ago I photographed my brother and his wife with their lil Mason on board and I just realized I never blogged about it. We photographed their maternity session at the Polo Fields in Wellington on a friend of Lisa's property. They were fantastic, we got to use Buttercup (their horse) as a prop and had full access to anything on the property. They were awesome, thanks again! So here it is:
West Palm Beach Photographer | Summer Lovin'
You show me love, I'll show you love. Sounds like a match made in heaven, huh? After a bit of down time, some mid day naps, and all nighter dates with me and handsome movie stars (okay... so I was watching movies, but I can dream right?) I decided I am going to dive head first into photography this summer. I'm enrolling in Fall classes and photography is going to be my lil love affair on the side until I reach my goal of being a Physician Assistant (5-6 years from now....)
Okay so here's the deal. You want free stuff? Well, I want to give you free stuff. There's no signing up, no contest, no rules. You talk to your friends who are going through moments that need memories (pictures) and you get a free session for yourself or to give to a loved one. It doesn't matter if it's a wedding, maternity, newborn, boudoir, engagement, trash the dress, singles profiles online, or whatever else you can come up with. If you think someone is in (or should be in) the market for a photographer you pass my info along and after the completion of their session you get one too! ANNNNND if that's not good enough, the friend you refer will get $75 off their session + a complimentary 10x13 print! Wooooooooo that's good stuff. You should get on face book and twitter and share the news so you can all start collecting on this madness.
Let do this!
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.
West Palm Beach Maternity Photography | Michelle + Doug {Awaiting Baby #3}
How gorgeous is this family? I can't wait to see what baby #3 looks like, Michelle's first two look like models!
After a rain reschedule we had beautiful weather yesterday for our session. Michelle wears pregnancy so well and is stunning to photograph. They're expecting May 11th, but my birthday is the 25th so maybe mom can hold off a few extra days ;) Kidding!
West Palm Beach Photography | The space!
Really, really, super, duper excited. My room mate is ah-may-zing for letting me take over her back room. I found a beautiful office set on Craigslist for an awesome price and I couldn't pass it up. This is the first time I've everrrrrr had my art hung on my walls. I don't know why it took me so long because it's beautiful! Canvas, mounted prints, metallic and lustre prints.... I love large prints!
Thank you my big brother Matt for helping me lift this incredibly heavy furniture and the road trip to Jupiter Farms to pick it up. I have so much space to work now, I love it.
See for yourself!
West Palm Beach Photographer | Jo {Just Because}
If I had to guess, I'd say 90% of my recent clients tell me "I'm not photogenic" or "I don't know how to pose" so it was no shocker when Jo told me the same. I think we, as women, need to give ourselves more credit! We're beautiful and amazing and I do my best to photograph that in each person. I made Jo do some funny poses to break the ice and it worked - because when she relaxed she was fabulous. I showed her a few images I had taken as we progressed through the session and she was blown away at how beautiful she looked. I hate to be the one to break it to you Jo, but you are beautiful. ;)
I enjoyed our session, you were an absolute pleasure to work with!
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 Family Photography | Amy + Aiden {And Toby too!}
Amy and Aiden came from Ft Lauderdale fully equipped with their pup Toby, a friend to help, and jackets to ward off the cold wind. Lil Aiden was a popsicle but was still a handsome fella. We only shot off a few before he was ready for the heated ride back home in moms car. We'll go for round two in the spring!
Palm Beach Photographer | Charles Jamieson Law
I've had several local businesses contact me lately about head shots for new marketing material and/or web sites. I guess everyones in the midst of rebranding (I'm always in the midst of it....) It's not something I specialize in, but I'm willing to photograph what a client requests if I'm capable of it. Regardless of the session type, I always try to create an image that matches my style. This isn't your typical blue background head shot, its better ;) (toot, toot) I think it shows a more contemporary and approachable head shot.
Mr. Jamieson is a family law attorney in West Palm Beach and has been practicing for over 28 years. Based on my encounter with Mr. Jamieson, he is passionate about his clients and believes in the service he provides. He was easy to get along with and was open to the suggestions I had.
Here's a single sneak peak:
