Ljubica's Baby Program 3 Month Update Session

Last month, I had the greatest time snapping photos for the newest addition to my Baby Program! Ljubica is a sweet little one, and I couldn’t be more excited to share her 3 month update photos. Take a look!

She was so happy the entire session, which was a real joy! Of course, we still had to make some time for feeding and diaper changing, but she was so good.

Ljubica just LOVES her elephant-themed room. Mom worked so hard to make it perfect, from the elephant quilt to all of her little stuffed animals. It all definitely paid off!

My favorite part of her nursery is the beautiful pink accent wall with Ljubica’s name on the wall. It’s such an elegant touch!

Baby Ljubica has one big brother, but he was at school during this session, and Dad was resting from an overnight shift. Mom is a teacher who was home on maternity leave, so we had all the time in the world to create beautiful images for the family!

We did, however, grab a super cute cameo of Ljubica and their dog, Ozzy! This fur ball was just the best around the baby. I could tell he already has accepted her into the “pack!”

Capturing the bond between mama and baby has to be my favorite part, though. Just look at this sweetness!

Baby Ljubica definitely won’t stay this little forever, so I’m thrilled that she’s a part of my Baby Program. We’ll document her most important milestones over the next half year in two more sessions. I can’t wait!

I had so much fun documenting Baby Ljubica’s 3 month update. It was such a joy to be with this family again. Thanks so much for taking part in my Baby Program!

Baby Ellie’s Pink Dress Mini Session

Last week, I shared photos from Baby Ellie’s One Year Milestone that turned out SO CUTE! This time, I wanted to highlight a mini session that Ellie’s mom Alex added to her Baby Program featuring a very special pink dress.

This dress is a hand-me-down from Ellie’s two big sisters, Kaylie and Emilie! Both daughters wore it when they were little, so it was super important for Alex to get some photos of Baby Ellie in it too!

I get so excited thinking of all three daughters in a row on their wall, each wearing this dress in turn. It’s such a cute idea!

As I mentioned before, this mini session was an add-on to Baby Ellie’s Baby Program. One reason why I love the Baby Program is that we can customize your program to meet your needs.

If the normal milestones aren’t quite enough, I offer options for mini session ad-ons like a maternity session or some with a special dress like this one!

This time, we went to a small local ranch with horses and chickens. It was such a cute spot! There were so many rustic backdrops, from an old horse trailer to a wooden fence. Ellie loved it!

Happy as ever, she ran around barefoot, interacting with the grass and animals. We kept her smiling and entertained with clapping games and a little bit of peek-a-boo.

Ellie is still discovering so many different things in the world around her. It was so much fun watching her as she tried to figure out what the different animals were.

We also made sure to get some awesome shots of mommy and baby together! Alex and Ellie are such a gorgeous pair as they posed in front of some bamboo.

Congratulations on your one year, Ellie! Even though our Baby Program is over, I know that this won’t be the last time we meet! I can’t wait to see you again and add more adorable photos to your gallery.

Lorelei's 3 Month Baby Program Update

Baby Lorelai and her loving family recently welcomed me into their Sebastian, Florida home for a special milestone photoshoot. Lorelai is growing up fast, and her Baby Program updates are so cute! Stay tuned for our six-month update!

While Lorelai was the focus of our session, I also took the liberty to photograph the other members of the family, too! Alison and Rick, along with their older children Jewel, Aidan, and Micah, simply glowed as we captured baby Lorelai's three-month-old milestones.

As devout Christians, the family understood the importance of cherishing every moment, especially in the wake of a family loss. But despite the bittersweet nature of the occasion, the family was easygoing and welcomed me into their home with open arms, allowing me to capture their precious moments in a natural, authentic way.

And oh, baby Lorelai! She was an absolute delight to photograph. At just three months old, she had already grown so much from her newborn days! Her chubby cheeks and bright eyes were a huge testament to her happy, healthy start in life.

This session happened around Christmastime last year, and I couldn’t have been more excited for the family! It was amazing to capture her first Christmas season, surrounded by her family's love and support.

From the moment I arrived, it was clear that this family was full of love and joy. My in-home sessions allow us to capture your family in their natural environment, all in the comfort of your own home. We were able to capture everything from quiet moments snuggling with baby Lorelai to the laughter of family life with multiple children.

My easygoing, documentary-style approach allowed us to capture every moment. Every family is unique, so I worked with Alison and Rick to make sure that this photo session captured the essence of their life at this current point in time. That way, our session felt true and authentic to them.

As parents, we know that time with our little ones is fleeting, and it's important to capture those precious moments before they’re gone. My Baby Program is designed to do just that. Not having many photos of my own kids when they were this small is one reason why I’m so passionate about capturing those precious moments.

If you’re an expecting mama looking for a way to treasure these moments forever, contact me today to learn more about my Baby Program! Then, we can start capturing your family's love in a way that you'll cherish for years to come, just like Baby Lorelai.

Happy three months, Baby Lorelai! I’m so happy that our home photo session turned out so beautifully. See you for your six-month update!

BABY ANIMAL SESSION SIGNUP!!!!!

Baby Animal Sessions are coming SOON!

We have two dates this year (click HERE to sign up):

Wednesday evening April 5th and
Saturday evening April 15th

We’re so excited to be partnering again with Sarah’s Party Animals - they truly are the best when it comes to animals and kiddos, and we have so much fun with our sessions every year! Sarah and Donna are bringing bunnies, chicks and ducklings to our sessions. We will be in Sebastian, Florida, at a field close to the highway exit. (You’ll be sent detailed directions and instructions after sign-up closer to our date.)

These are quick 15 minute sessions that focus on candid moments with your children and baby animals. While 15 minutes is quick, we can still get a few individual portraits as well as your children together. In the past we’ve had the whole family jump in photos, cousins and/or friends, and kids all ages from babies to teens. Everyone loves baby animals! (If you think your child might be nervous about the live animals, come prepared to jump in the photos with your child!)

Your session includes your favorite five edited high resolution digital images, and if you have trouble choosing, a gallery upgrade is also available! Your full gallery will be 25 images. If it’s easier to make two payments, just let me know and we’ll set that up.

Abby and I have been offering Baby Animal Sessions with Sarah’s Party Animals since 2018 (we did skip 2020), so when you sign up with us you know you’ve got the pros :-)

We hope to see you there!!!

Ellie’s Baby Dedication in Fellsmere, FL

Baby Ellie has been a shining star in my baby program series this year, which is why I was over the moon when her parents, Alex and Daniel, invited me to come photograph Ellie’s Baby Dedication at their church!

I was more than happy to add in an extra session to her plan so we could document such an important milestone for Ellie and her family.

The whole family even dressed up for the occasion! With the men in suits and ties and the ladies in gorgeous dresses, these photos are definitely extra special. Ellie herself looked angelic in a lacy white dress and matching headband.

The dedication happened near the end of the service, so I snuck into the back of the sanctuary when the time drew near.

The sanctuary was a little dark, especially because it was cloudy and rainy outside. Fortunately, the pastor let me use my flash, so I could get perfect lighting when I needed a little extra help.

When she saw me, Ellie’s face lit up like a bunch of fireworks! She was all smiles, grinning from ear to ear as the pastor held her and led the prayer. Then, in the presence of all, Ellie’s loved ones dedicated her to God.

From her brothers, Matteo, Ivan, and Danny, to her sisters, Kaylie and Emilie, to all of their extended family and church family, there was such a strong sense of unity and peace in the room, the kind that only comes from God.

This idea of the whole family together, wrapped around a common goal to care for their littlest melted my heart!! They love Baby Ellie so much.

After the service was over, we stayed a little longer and took some group pictures. Portraits are a must after such a special day, so I made sure to take a bunch of Ellie with each family member.

Ellie continued to be the center of attention all throughout the morning, and for good reason! I’m so in love with how these photos turned out, Alex and Daniel! It was such a treat to capture Ellie’s baby dedication. Thanks so much for letting me be a part of it!
