Ava Lynn | Central Florida Newborn Photographer

I’d like to take a moment and introduce Ava Lynn.  Ava joined her family right in the nick of time on December 21st.  Luckily for mom, dad and her big brother, she arrived a few days prior to Christmas, letting this family enjoy her arrival as a true holiday blessing (not to mention, they all made it home in time for santa’s arrival).

I have been dying to meet Ava for a few months now!  Her mom confessed early on that they were expecting their second child and I couldn’t wait to find out if they’d be having a boy or girl.  I knew regardless of the gender this little one would be in good hands. Her parents are awesome and she has such a fun big brother!  I’ve throughly enjoyed working with this family over the past year and a half and look forward to seeing them a few more times this year.

To S & J – thank you for giving me the opportunity to join you during the first year of Ava’s life.  I’m very much looking forward to watching her grow up and even more so I’m excited to watch how Nicklaus grows into the big brother role.  I hope you enjoy this sneak peek as much as I do.  XO – J

Shana and Barrett | Central Florida Engagement and Wedding Photography

As the holiday’s passed and my “break” came to a close, I had a  fun opportunity to work with a friend of mine from college.  Shana and I have known each other for years and share many mutual friends from our college days.  She’s an awesome girl, but what was truly fun about this session was seeing her interact one on one with, her fiance, Barrett.  I loved every minute of working with these two.  They have a cool eclectic style that I absolutely love and their genuine playfulness is completely adorable.  When we began brainstorming for the session, Shana shared with me a special piece of their engagement that became somewhat of an inspiration for the session.  When Barrett proposed he gave her a card that said everything perfectly: ” Beside You, Next to You….Near You.”

I wish them all the best as they begin their lives side by side and as near as two individuals can be.   Thank you both for the opportunity to share in this small piece of your engagement and cheers to many years of happiness
XO – J
