Surfer Girl Fashion Editorial – Neptune Beach

Oct 19, 2018

Jacksonville models and bloggers Chey and Chawn are gorgeous (duh!) but my favorite thing about these two is that special twin connection they have. As they put it, they were born with their best friend, which makes me wish soooo badly that I had a sister! They are so...

Blue and Sunny Maternity Photos in New Smyrna Beach

Artistic, Natural Maternity Photos at Home

Sep 13, 2018

I love photographing families at home. It feels like you get to tell their story more fully. Kids are relaxed and excited to show you all around, everyone is more relaxed and settled because this is their own peaceful space. And in the case of Becky’s family (she runs...
