Anniversary Session/ Jacksonville Florida
This couple just celebrated their first anniversary and what better way than with an anniversary photo session. These were photographed at the Lubbock Arboretum. They brought a change of clothes. She showed me what she was wearing ahead of time so we were able to coordinate the scenery with their clothing a bit. I had them in the rose beds and poppies while she was wearing the red. I love how deliberately and carefully this couple chose their clothes and props. They looked perfect. They brought a chalkboard that said “I love you because you give me courage.” How true is that for couples. You marry someone who is going to make you better and give you confidence to do things. It was also so fun to take photos of a girl playing the guitar. She serenaded him! I loved watching them interact and be all lovey. We had a great time walking all around the arboretum and they were willing to pose for me as long as the sun was shining.
Family Photos/ Jacksonville, Florida
These family photos were taken in Ransom Canyon a little oasis outside of Lubbock, Texas. The father was actually out of town on business so the focus on this session was the six children. I had heard that photographing large families was a piece of cake. Well, if they are anything like this family then it’s true. The kids were not only so well behaved but they were just so loving toward each other. They took care of each other. They carried each other, they were concerned about each other and they truly loved being together. I learned that the oldest began learning guitar from his father, then he self taught himself and is now teaching his sister. Do you remember when I talked about how I always wanted an older brother in this session? Well, the photos of the oldest brother teaching the oldest sister how to play guitar also reconfirm that wish for me.
I mentioned to the mom that it would be fun to bring things that were special to each of the kids to make the session more personal. They did a great job and I just learned so much more about the children. There was a dog named Christmas, the kids are musically talented with the guitar and the trombone and a favorite play dress was worn that had gotten soiled at the fair (and not by dirt)! I had mom take a few solo portraits as well. I can’t believe she has six kids– she looks so young. I had to be so selective with which photos to share because with six kids there were a lot of photos to choose from. Please enjoy.

Lifestyle Newborn Session/ Jacksonville Florida
I think I’m in love with lifestyle newborn photography. Actually, I love anything to do with newborns. Both of my children had posed newborn photos done so venturing into the road of lifestyle newborns is such a fun change. You see the newborn in their home and the family interacting with the newborn. I love it. This amazing family was the one that permitted me to be at their baby’s birth. Doesn’t mom just look incredible? We chatted before hand about what the family should wear to the newborn session and if you follow me on pinterest you can see a what to wear in family pictures guide. I liked what I found on this photographer’s blog for newborns. Basically we wanted to keep the color palette neutral so as to keep the focus on the newborn. This little guy had clothes on for part of the session but he was also in his birthday suit for a good part of the session. I like things fresh and simple.
To see more of this precious newborn continue after the jump.
