Clayton James | 1st Birthday Portraits

Vintage Aviation Themed 1st Birthday Portraits

This cutie is making his second appearance on the blog in honor of his First Birthday! This session was particularly special because this little guy is my godson, Clayton James! You may remember him from his last session at Dubois Park! Clayton has literally grown in front of my camera. I have so many favorite photos from his first year but this session takes the cake!

His vintage aviation themed 1st birthday portraits came out better than I could have anticipated! His momma choose a vintage aviation theme because she herself has worked very hard towards her pilot's license! Once she got her hands on a children's Carbon Cub plane this session was off to an amazing start! It was such a perfect theme and I am so excited to share his 1st birthday portraits!!

Clayton, thank you for always being such a happy ham on and off camera! I can't believe what a handsome and sweet little guy you've become. May you always know how much you are loved! Happy 1st of many!

Happy First Birthday Clayton James! Rina loves you!

Lifestyle Palm Beach High School Senior Portraits on Worth Avenue, Palm Beach

Meet Cassie and Madeline, best friends from Nashville, Tennessee! These gorgeous ladies came to visit Palm Beach for their senior trip. During their time in the area we captured their high school senior portraits! Their session took place in some of my favorite spots all over Palm Beach Island.

These Palm Beach high school senior portraits are filled with colorful tropical scenes and fun joy-filled laugher! Cassie and Madeline were so fun to work with and I am excited to share their session!

We began their session at The Royal Poinciana Plaza on Palm Beach Island. This ivy wall is amazing!

Then we made our way to Sprinkles for an ice cream break! 

Next, it was time for some portraits in a garden in Palm Beach! Then we headed to Worth Avenue!  Madeline and Cassie, you girls are gorgeous! 

We finished our session on the beach as the sun was setting! The sky was a soft, pale pink and the teal water made the perfect contrast.  Some of my favorite shots of Cassie! And Madeline!  Best friends forever.

Family Vacation Portraits in Palm Beach

Family Vacation Portraits in Palm Beach

If there is one thing I love it's capturing gorgeous families while enjoying their vacation! Capturing family memories is such an honor to me because these are the moments my clients will look back on and the photos I capture will become precious, tangible memories they will hold onto for many years to come.

These past few years I have noticed vacation photos are becoming more and more popular! Last year alone we captured over a half a dozen family vacation sessions! This year we are hoping to exceed last year and we are off to a great start!

On January 20th, 2018, we had the honor of capturing these family vacation portraits in Palm Beach, Florida. This was our first session of the year! It was a very cloudy and windy day but the lighting was gorgeous! Early that day there was a Trump protest but by the afternoon there was hardly anyone on the beach!

It was such a pleasure working with this sweet family! We hope they enjoy their family portraits for many years to come!

Engagement at the Breakers Palm Beach

On Saturday the 23rd of September, Andrew and I had the pleasure of capturing Katie and Ryan's engagement at the Breakers Palm Beach! Their session was filled with elegant scenes on this gorgeous day! These two high school sweethearts will be tying the knot on May 19th, 2018 at the Breakers West! We are so excited to document their gorgeous day!

Katie & Ryan, thank you for choosing us to be your wedding photographers! We are looking forward to your wedding day and hope you enjoy your engagement photos!

We began our session on the lush green golf course at the Breakers! Look at those happy smiles! 

Then we walked over to the courtyard and captured a few portraits in front of the fountain!  The light was SO DREAMY!! 

Then we did a few more in front of the grand fountain in front of the Breakers Palm Beach resort because their engagement at the Breakers Palm Beach wouldn't be complete without a few shots in this amazing spot! 

Then we headed to the beach right before sunset. Ryan gave Katie his great grandmother's gorgeous heirloom ring! It is incredible!! 

The beach was so dreamy that evening. A few rain clouds were coming in creating a soft sky and cool breeze! Katie's, Lilly Pulitzer dress was flowing so perfectly in the wind! I love how you can almost feel the breeze flowing and their sweet love!
