Jacksonville, FL Family Photographer {Holiday Greenery Mini Session}

Well the holiday greenery mini sessions have come and went already! I can’t believe that another year is almost gone already. I swear time is flying by faster and faster each year. Here’s just a few images from the sessions I’m able to show.

Jacksonville, FL Family Photographer {Galy Family | Beach Session}

I first met this absolutely stunning family at their youngest littles newborn session. At that point, I had only done a few lifestyle newborn sessions, and their newborn session turned me to the full love of lifestyle. I had such a wonderful time capturing their life in those early days with baby Weston so when mom contacted me for a beach family session to celebrate Weston’s first birthday I was totally down with it. It took us FOREVER to get to the session though. It rained and poured each and every day we scheduled and rescheduled. I think we rescheduled 5 times, at least, before we were able to actually do the session. But OH what a blessing it was to wait. The weather this evening was absolutely spectacular and we got some of my favorite images of all time.
This gorgeous momma is also a photographer, which is sometimes quite intimidating when I photograph other photographers, but she is such a pleasure to work with! She knew exactly what she wanted and after she told me, relaxed and just let me get it done. And I think the photos speak for themselves because they are so gorgeous.

Enjoy the images!

Jacksonville, FL Family Photographer {Smith Family | Sunrise at the Beach}

When this momma contacted me to book her session, she said the words sunrise and I immediately was like “ummm” because if you know me, you know that mornings are not my thing. I much prefer to sleep the day away and stay up all night. However, once we talked and she explained that her sweet little twins preferred the mornings and she really wanted to get some great canvas images, I understood and happily scheduled her session.
The day dawned, well, not really yet, and I headed to the beach. Y’all, it was still pitch black out. I had a minor panic attack moment that maybe the sun wouldn’t come up and we’d be taking photos in the dark, but then calmed as I pulled up to the beach and saw the very first rays peeking over the horizon.

And y’all, this session is now one of my all time favorites. We got SO much variety. We got the very earliest of light all the way to full sunlight. We went from sweet soft pastels, to bright vivid colors, and I am just in love with this gallery. We spent the morning laughing and playing (and maybe a little yawning on my part.) Since we weren’t on a deadline with the sun going down we even got to take a good break so the twins could warm up and relax a bit more.

I hope you enjoy looking at their gallery as much as I did shooting it. If you would like to book a session with a Jacksonville, FL Family Photographer I hope you keep me in mind! Amanda.dennette@gmail.com

Enjoy!
