Evangeline's Baby Animal Mini Session at Hunny's Funny Farm

Capturing milestone moments is always a joy, and I had the pleasure of photographing the adorable Evangeline for her 2-year photos at Hunny's Funny Farm in Vero Beach.

This session was not only perfect for Evangeline’s milestone but also filled with heartwarming moments that reflect the charm and joy of childhood. Thanks for joining me!

Evangeline’s family has been long-time clients, and it was wonderful to see them again. They are a Swedish-American family, and my first session with them was for Evangeline's big sister’s 2-year photos.

This year, I had my Baby Animal Mini Sessions at Hunny's Funny Farm, which was just what we needed to celebrate Evangeline’s milestone.

She looked absolutely precious in her cute outfit. I love her knitted “straw” hat and pinafore-style dress! The egg basket props also added a charming touch to the photos.

One of the highlights of the session was seeing Evangeline’s siblings work together to make her smile. Their interactions and efforts to bring out her laughter created authentic moments that were a joy to capture.

Despite the challenges that can come with photographing young children, Evangeline’s session was smooth and enjoyable. The farm setting provided plenty of opportunities for candid and playful shots, which are often the most cherished.

Evangeline’s mom, Shima, plans to share these beautiful photos on social media, print them for their home, and gift them to friends and family. It’s a wonderful way to celebrate and share this special milestone with loved ones.

I am grateful to Evangeline’s family for choosing me to capture these precious moments once again. It’s always an honor to be part of their journey and to document their growing memories. Thank you for trusting me with these important milestones!

For those interested in booking a Baby Animal Mini Session or any other photography session, please let me know! I look forward to creating more beautiful memories with you and your family.

Schmidt Family Mini Session at Riverside Park in Vero Beach, FL

It's always a joy to welcome back the Schmidt family for another mini photo session. This time, I had the pleasure of capturing Timothy, Sarahi, their enthusiastic son Elijah at Riverside Park. Timothy's mom was also able to join us! Here are a few of our amazing photos:

The most heartwarming aspect of being a family photographer is witnessing the growth of little ones like Elijah. Each session with the Schmidts offers a new chapter in their family story, and it's been incredible to see Elijah transform over the years. He’s still as cute as a button!

This year, the Schmidts chose a chic yet comfortable style: neutral whites and creams with tasteful blue accents. Their outfits perfectly complemented the natural backdrop of Riverside Park, adding an elegant yet cozy feel to the photos.

I personally adore Riverside Park for its lush greenery and majestic oak trees. It’s a haven for children like Elijah, who revel in climbing the sturdy oak limbs and balancing on the entwined roots. The park's natural charm always adds a playful and spirited vibe to our sessions.

There’s also a pretty impressive playground here for the kids to burn off some steam after the photoshoot. And if the oak trees aren’t your vibe, there’s also a gazebo with scenic views of the river.

From candid moments to loving embraces, this mini session was brimming with fun and affection. Whether we were chasing the light through the leaves or capturing quiet moments of family bonding, every snapshot tells a story of joy and togetherness.

A heartfelt thanks to the Schmidt family for once again choosing me to document these precious moments. It’s a privilege to be a part of your family's journey and to help preserve these memories for years to come.

Beach Mini Session with the Carkovic Family

On a glorious day in October, the Carkovic family joined me for my Beach Mini Sessions at Riomar Beach in Vero Beach. I absolutely loved seeing them again! Their vibrant energy and deep familial bond, made this experience truly unforgettable. Here are some of the stunning images!

Erin and Alekos are the pillars of this lovely family. While Alekos is flying across the country as a pilot, Erin holds down the fort and homeschools the kiddos. They have three: Ace, Calix, and little Matilda (fondly called Tilly).

I can’t thank the Carkovics enough that they’ve trusted me to document their family on numerous occasions. From a Year in the Life to Tilly’s adorable Baby Program sessions, I’ve also had the pleasure of taking so many mini sessions for them. It’s always a blast!

This time, we went to the shores of Riomar Beach, which was the perfect place to show off the amazing bond of this family. The sand, water, and sky always hold so much opportunity.

With its vast, open spaces, the beach can often be a challenge with young children. However, Erin kept the little ones engaged and relatively "contained." She brought along baskets that not only added a whimsical element to the photos but also served as a playful distraction for Ace, Calix, and Tilly. Genius!

Mini sessions last only 15 minutes, so we had to work fast to capture all of the memories that Erin wanted. It can be pretty tricky to work on a time crunch with young kiddos, but we managed to get some really sweet shots along the way.

As I clicked away, we focused on bringing their connection to life. After a couple of quick portraits, we hit the sand to make some waves.

I live for the candid moments. This family was so full of impromptu laughter and playful chases along the water's edge. These are the moments where true love shines through, turning a photograph into a treasure trove of memories.

As the session drew to a close, I felt a profound sense of gratitude for being able to capture these fleeting moments for the Carkovic family. The Carkovics are a reminder that family isn’t just an important thing, it’s everything.

In the end, we walked away with a collection of beautiful, vibrant photographs that encapsulated the essence of the Carkovic family. And as their photographer and friend, I am honored to be a part of their journey.
