Hampton Flower Fields/ Jacksonville Family Photographer
The Hampton Flower Fields are located a little over an hour outside of Jacksonville (going towards Gainesville). These fields only bloom for a few weeks of the year end of April beginning of May. The roads are great traveling from Jacksonville, the fields easy to find and any fear of being alone in the fields is quickly erased as lots of people come to these fields.
It was a pleasure meeting this beautiful family. The entire family was so kind. I learned some tricks from this mom on what to do for my own family pictures. Plan a fun activity before and after the pictures. I understand when you are going to take pictures it takes lots of time and energy. There are decisions about what clothes and jewelry to wear, what props to bring and ensuring everyone’s schedule is free. There are so many factors that go into place to orchestrate family photos. Family photos don’t happen everyday so they are a special time.
One thing I never thought to do was to make the whole day a fun family day. This mom was able to find a U-Pick Blueberry farm to go to first. The farm was called Blu By U Blueberry Farm. Wasn’t that such a great idea to do a little activity first and then get photos taken? I also liked that the activity was pretty low key so no one got too tired. After photos, they went to grab some ice cream for a job well done. Their handsome little man went with the flow, had fun exploring the fields, and got to announce that he is going to be a big brother!

Jacksonville At Home Lifestyle Newborn Photos
I always consider it an honor to take pictures in someone’s home. Your home is where you are most vulnerable but also where you experience the most joy. It’s just wonderful when I am trusted with such a task. This sweet little babe has quite the arrival story. She’s actually a few weeks old in these picture because she was born prematurely. She’s the third child in this family and so very loved. This beautiful mama is incredible. I learned what she underwent to ensure the safe arrival of this little angel.
I love photographing babies right where they belong snuggled up to their mom. It’s amazing that this little person just arrived a few weeks ago but fits in so naturally with the family. To always remember what it feels like to have a newborn lying on your chest, listening and feeling your heartbeat is one of life’s sweetest moments.

Jacksonville Lifestyle Newborn Photography (Sneak Peak)
Here is a little sneak peak at a lifestyle newborn session. Mom already has her images but I have a few personal posts that I want to share first. Knowing that I have an adorable newborn to share I hope motivates me to share all the personal posts in the next few weeks. I feel like life keeps moving faster and faster and I just can’t keep up sometimes. Since I’m a behind with what I want to share I decided that I would share something rather than nothing. Counts for something right? Anyways, let’s talk about how darling this sweet little baby is. She is right where she belongs all snuggled up with mom. What I LOVE about lifestyle newborn photography is you can almost feel like your holding your sweet baby again. Those little ones change so fast in the first few weeks and months. I thought I wouldn’t have baby fever since I have a baby but I do because there is nothing like a newborn.
This has been my favorite post so far as what to wear for a newborn photography session. If you find an article that has some great suggestions on what to wear then please let me know. I have a pinterest board about what to wear for photo-sessions. I think the most important thing is to wear what makes you feel comfortable. Women’s bodies change so much during pregnancy and then immediately after labor. There are many sleepless nights, doctor’s visits and other things going on with a newborn. So, wear what makes you feel beautiful, where something a little loose and comfy. I like neutrals to keep the focus on the baby. The newborn phase is so beautiful though because you welcome a complete stranger into your lives so effortlessly and your heart just grows by adding a new member of the family. . Enjoy this sneak peak and in a few weeks I’ll share more. This babe is absolutely perfect.
