When you have a Day in the Life Session with me, a slideshow video is included in your session price. I choose approximately 100 of the best images to tell the story of the day. I highly encourage purchasing a book as well - children love looking at the images from our day together, and it is a very special keepsake for parents, too. High resolution digital images and wall art are also available for purchase.
Sit back and enjoy this video from a homeschool family in Florida with eight children, puppies and hobby farm animals. Some of the images can also be seen in these blog posts: Part One, Part Two and Part Three.
Contact me to book your session! Limited weekday and Saturday sessions are available. Read more here.
Homeschool Family Day in the Life Session, Part 3
Remember this Florida homeschool family? Here is Part 1 and Part 2 of their pictures. Life and travel happened, and my poor blog is one of the first to get neglected. But if you haven't seen the previous posts, you'll want to hop back and read them first! I got to spend a day with a homeschool family in Florida where mom and dad are raising eight kids in an idyllic countryside setting.
You probably know I have six kids - three boys and three girls myself, and I love the life (and craziness) kids bring. Especially boys. This family has six boys (although the older two were gone most of the day working), and two girls. Not super noisy - in fact I find large families often learn to work together in a harmonious way - you have to! Kids learn to watch out for each other, and every one has chores and tasks to help manage the home life.
These images are a collection from the afternoon homeschooling and indoor chores. It's amazing to think how much these puppies have grown since our April Day in the Life Session. You can't see it as clearly with children - although you can in babies. I am a huge advocate in documenting these fleeting months and years the littles are little.
If you are ready to make a documentary of your own family's life, don't hesitate to contact me! I find the all day ones more meaningful, but we can always do a shorter morning or afternoon Day in the Life Session, too. (More info on full Day in the Life Sessions here.)
Next up - a video from this session!
Homeschool Family Day in the Life Session, Part 2
If you missed Part One of the S family Day in the Life, click here, and read that first.
As the high school biology fetal pig dissection class was wrapping up in the kitchen, I followed their 6-year old daughter and 7-year old son to the woodsy area of the backyard. Swoon! This area was beyond gorgeous! I felt like I was making portraits instead of documenting their ordinary day. Such lucky children to have this as their playground! Can you believe their mad tree climbing skills?
Exploration and playtime was only interrupted because of a picnic lunch outside. All but the oldest two boys (who were at work) gathered around the picnic table for prayer, fellowship and meal. There is so much life and love in this family!
Their mama dog had thirteen puppies in March! There was quite the campaign going on about keeping a few of them ;-) Can't blame the kids! The puppies were the cutest!!!
Ummm... How many kids are swinging from the same rope in that tree?
I think, hands down, this was the best homeschool science class, P.E., lunch and recess ever! Stay tuned, next up is more homeschool lessons.
Mermaid Photo Session in Vero Beach
MERMAIDS!!!!
When I saw a picture of my friend's girls' mermaid tails last year, I knew we needed to do a Mermaid Photo Session. These tails are AMAZING!! When wearing them, the girls really feel like beautiful mermaids, and what fun is that?! For them, for moms and for the photographer, too!
It makes for gorgeous images.
My four-year old is obsessed with mermaids. If you ask her what she wants to be when she grows up, she'll tell you: "A Mermaid."
Her birthday is coming up next one. Can you guess what her birthday gift will be?
If you guessed a mermaid tail and a photo session, you guessed right :-)
In the fall 2018 I will have Mermaid Photo Sessions available in Vero Beach, Fort Pierce and Sebastian!
(And if you're interested in a mermaid photo session in the next few weeks, let me know! You're welcome to join us when we do our trial session.)
One Year Cake Smash
This sweet girl is turning one very soon!!! In honor of her birthday we did a Cake Smash Photo Session, and got the cutest photos of her!
I can't believe she woke up from her nap this happy, and ready for anything. First time having cake, too! Little O just seems like the most easy-going and happy baby!
Working with little ones is so much fun - yet so unpredictable, you never know what they'll do. These sessions are always full of laughter (and sometimes some tears, too). Little O did great! She loved her frosting (wasn't so sure about the cake itself), and didn't mind the stranger with the big camera coming into her space :-)
Happy First Birthday, Sweet Little One! And Happy Mother's Day to mama, too! Your gallery is ready today, yay!!!
