Jacksonville, FL Maternity Photographer {Sherina | Bump}

You know those sessions you walk away from and just drive home in a fog because it was that amazing? Yeah, this was that kind of session. The entire time it felt like a dream. This gorgeous family was flawless. The kiddoes were adorable and mom and dad were just so amazingly in love that you could feel it in the air. It was one of my favorite sessions to date. I was so excited when they showed up and I saw their adorable coordinated outfits. I knew at that moment, magic was going to happen! And it did! We were able to not only get some maternity photos, but also included tons with the family, and also the kiddoes by themselves. A completely well rounded session, indeed!

We shot at one of my favorite locations on the St. Johns River in Arlington. The weather was just phenomenal that evening, though a bit hot. However, the sky decided to put on a show, and we captured some of my favorite silhouette bump images. Divine! Sherina looked like a goddess in her gorgeous dresses. I just can’t even say how in love with these images I am. I hope you enjoy them as well.

Jacksonville, FL Newborn Photographer {Rosemary | 6 Days New}

I always love photographing newborns, its my favorite type of session. This little one came into my studio and I just fell in love. She was just the most adorable, sweetest, little baby girl. She never woke, she never cried, she was just perfection. Mom and dad, you can tell, are just head over heels in love. And who wouldn’t be? I mean, look at that sweet little face. And those cheeks. So squishy! She may have cranked the baby fever up a notch. Who am I kidding? She DEFINITELY cranked the baby fever up.

This sweet girl was one of my youngest newborns of 2015. At just 6 days new, she was still super sleepy, moldable, and a perfect little squish. We got so many poses and set ups, I’m just not even sure where to begin. We started with family shots, and even got a couple with grandma, who was in town visiting. Then we did a couple shots with dad’s military helmet, mom’s sheet music, and some of Rosemary’s hot air balloons that her mama hand made for her nursery. I absolutely LOVE when clients bring things with them to their sessions. It just makes a session that much more unique and tailored to that individual family.

I’m sure you guys don’t want to hear me blab on though, I know you came here for the pictures. So, without further ado, meet Rosemary.

If you are looking for a Jacksonville, FL Newborn Photographer I hope you keep me in mind. I would love to work with you. amanda.dennette@gmail.com

Jacksonville, FL Senior Photographer {Daisy c/o 2016}

Okay, I’m gonna be honest, I can’t find a single shot in this session that I don’t love. I had such a hard time going through the images to find ones to cut, and just ended up not being able to. Sure, there were the few duplicates, but for the most part, I ended up loving every. single. shot.

This is Daisy. Her mama is my hair stylist and is amazing. If you are a past client, please don’t judge her work by my normal “work hair.” If you’ve shot with me, you know, I look a hot mess. But its because I know I’m going to be getting down and grundgy during our shoot so my hair is usually up in its messy bun. With flyaways. And sweat. But when Daisy’s awesome mama does my hair I feel all amazing and beautiful. Plus, she’s super awesome to boot. If you need a new hair stylist, let me know and I’ll give you her info. Like I said, amazing.

Anyway, where was I? Oh, yes, these images. I just can’t choose. All amazing. Daisy is gorgeous. The evening was gorgeous. And it was just magical. Perfect session. I think it was just the perfect way to end a summer before senior year.

Congratulations Daisy! You are a rockstar! I hope you have the best year ever and one day, I hope you look back at these images from your senior year, and remember what a wonderful young woman you were. You have a very bright future ahead of you! I can’t wait to see what you do next! <3 <3 <3

I honestly would LOVE to do more seniors so if you are looking for a senior photographer here in Jacksonville, FL or any of the surrounding areas, I would LOVE to work with you. Please message me! Senior sessions are SO fun. And so gorgeous.

Jacksonville Beach, FL Engagement Photographer {A Beachy Engagement}

This gorgeous little family and I met up at Hanna Park a few weeks back for an absolutely beautiful engagement/family session. You may recognize the littlest guy here as I just photographed him with his newest stepsister a few months ago. When his mom contacted me and asked to do an engagement session, I was tickled pink. I love engagement sessions, and when you put engagement and the beach together, magic can happen. And magic did happen, I think.

I absolutely love shooting at Hanna Park and was super excited when mom, Jammie, decided on it as her spot for their engagement and family photos. When they showed up, I was so excited. They all looked gorgeous in their coordinating outfits. They chose more formal wear instead of the typical beach casual, and I love the juxtaposition of that. It totally worked.

We ended up shooting a few posed shots, and then I just let the happy couple enjoy some time together on the beach. I definitely love the real connection that I captured of these two lovebirds, and this family together. I think candids/lifestyle is my favorite.

Check out for yourself.

Jacksonville, FL Family Photographer {Grandma and Me on the Beach}

One of my favorite clients messaged me a few weeks back with an idea her mother in law had asked her about. Her mother in law was coming to visit the grandkids and wanted to do a Grandma and Me session. Well, you guys know how I love Mommy and Me sessions, so I was all for this. Grandma just wanted to get a couple shots of her and her grandchildren, and great grandma and her great grandchildren. We planned for an evening on the beach.

Then Florida weather happened and it rained all week, while they were visiting. There wasn’t an evening that week that it didn’t pour. So, we decided to just do the session in the am, instead of sunset, and just go with it. That’s one thing I love about my clients. They are all so chill and just roll with whatever needs to happen.

So we met up one morning at the beach. It was bright, it was hot, but we made it work. I love the look of these images. They are so bright and cheerful, to me. I hope you guys love them just as much!

Enjoy! and if you are interested in a Jacksonville, FL Family Photographer I’d love to work with you!
