S Family {Viera Maternity Photographer}
It’s always a little nerve wracking when a fellow photographer asks you to shoot her family/maternity photos. It’s even more nerve wracking when you are both wanting sunny backlit images and then Florida decides to stop having sunny evenings for the entire month of July. We were sad when the clouds rolled in yet again on the evening of our shoot (which had already been rained out multiple times). The rain JUST barely held off for us on this night. BUT! I’m still in love with this cloudy day session! I love the character and depth the clouds gave to these photos. But what I love even more is the obvious joy and love in this beautiful family, as they await the arrival of their second son. <3 Thanks for allowing me to capture these moments for you, M!
E Family {Melbourne Beach, FL – Family Photographer}
I was so happy to get to squeeze in a session during this family’s beach vacation! We were so lucky to get such a beautiful evening. Their gorgeous girls were the perfect little models. Love this family!!
P Family at Cocoa Beach {Melbourne Family Photographer}
This was my first time photographing a dog. I had no idea how to get his attention! But we made it work. 
So glad I was able to capture these memories for this family before they leave Florida’s sunny beaches for cooler weather!
T Family at Cocoa Beach {Viera Family Photographer}
I absolutely loved this beach session. What’s not to love?? Gorgeous family, beautiful sunlight, and some of the most cooperative kids ever. I mean, you know you’ve hit the jackpot when it’s the kids at the session telling you, “Can you take one of me with my baby brother? Can we take another one?” It was so much fun. Lots to share, so I’ll stop blabbing.
Q Family {Cocoa Beach Family Photographer}
When I had my own family photoshoot back in March, I stressed about how to dress all 6 people in my family. This mom had to dress 9. And she rocked it!
Quick story about this family. Right after I had my 4th baby, I was very sleep deprived and feeling overwhelmed about the task of taking care of a newborn, a monkey of a 2 year old, and keeping 5 and 6 year old boys entertained AND getting their school work done. It felt like a daunting task. In those early post partum weeks, an article in the local paper came out about this mom of 7 and how she keeps it together. My dad brought it over for me to read, and handed it to me saying, “If she can do it, you can do it.” It was sweet of him. Except I totally took it in the opposite way that he intended. I was like, “Oh my gosh, she can take care of SEVEN and I can’t handle FOUR! I’m a FAILURE!!!!!!!!!” Oh post partum hormones. I don’t miss you.
Anyway, don’t worry, I’ve got this now. 
Four ain’t no thang. (Just kidding, four is hard. But it’s not. But it is…)
This family was lovely to work with and I’m so glad I got to meet them before they moved away! Momma Q, you are a rockstar!!
Rainy Day Family Session {Cocoa Beach Family Photographer}
We had already cancelled once because of weather. He had ONE day off of work to get this session done. They had booked in advance. And then in rained. And rained and rained and didn’t stop for the whole session. But these guys were TROOPERS and decided to make the most of it. There’s a first time for everything, and shooting one handed while holding an umbrella with my other hand was a first for me during this shoot! But we made it happen and I’m so happy with what we got! I hope this family looks back on these with a smile!
