Mia – 1st Holy Communion [Lakeland children photography]

I mentioned yesterday that I forgot to blog about this beautiful girl from almost a year ago.  I just had to share before I moved on with the rest of the family sessions from the fall.  Hope you don’t mind!  Mia was getting ready for her 1st Holy Communion, so I met her and her […]

The ‘A’ Family [Treasure Island beach, family, children photography]

Here’s part two of my beach session posts.  I love, love this family! In May of last year I photographed this beautiful girl for her First Holy Communion.  In preparing the beach images for the blog, I realized I never blogged the communion images.  What?!  (Guess what will be on the blog tomorrow.) 😉 This […]

The ‘P’ Family [Treasure Island beach, family and children photography]

I was lucky to have the chance to meet two families out at the beach this fall.  I just love beach sessions…..so fun to get out of town and run around in the wind, sand and water.  This family was the first to meet me there one Saturday afternoon in September.    I love catching up […]

So handsome [Lakeland children photography]

Can I just say that I love photographing cute kids? 😉  And I really love photographing well dressed cute kids?!  This guy is one of my favorites.  I always love the outfits mom puts together for him.  This year was no exception.  His amazing mamma is a breast cancer survivor, so this year she decided […]

Siblings [Lakeland, Homeland family and children photography]

You may recognize these siblings from prior posts.  This little lady has been a member of our Little Miracles Collection and this was her final session in that plan.  {Tear!}  I just love watching tiny newborns grow into walking little toddlers with such cute personalities!  I definitely have felt that way about Miss L and […]

The M Family [Lakeland family and children photography]

The first time I met this family, child #3 was a newborn.  I just love it when a family gives me the privilege of photographing them year after year, and I get to watch the kids grow and mature in their looks and personalities.   Even up to the afternoon of this session, we couldn’t really […]

Isaac [Lakeland newborn & children photography]

Be prepared for image overload in this next post!  A dear friend of mine called me a few weeks ago asking if she could give a newborn session as a gift to her sweet sister who has just welcomed a little boy into her family.   Yes!  The last time I had photographed this pretty mama […]

Arielle [Lakeland portrait photography]

A few months ago I was out exploring new parts of Polk County with my family.  We found this great new location that I just knew would be an amazing spot for a photo shoot.  I could immediately envision how the images would look and what kind of lighting I wanted to try.  It has […]

Emalyn [Lakeland baby & children photography]

One night this week I met up with a couple photographer friends to do some “for fun” shooting.  One of the girls brought her beautiful baby girl, just shy of 3 months old.  That’s normally a hard age to photograph as they can’t quite sit up yet and you aren’t guaranteed a smile.  But Emalyn […]

Aaron & Renee [Treasure Island family and beach photographer]

By now, you all probably feel like you know this couple.  I posted about their first session with me here, in which we captured Aaron’s new ability to stand.  Their second session with me the next year (found here) was truly amazing because Aaron was walking!  For the past couple of years Renee has asked […]
