Emily's Palm Beach Lifestyle Maternity Photos
Emily's Palm Beach Lifestyle Maternity Photos
Since the first day of preschool, Emily and I have been best friends. We were there for each other on those scary first days of school, throughout middle and high school mission trips, on each others wedding days and now as we set into a new seasons of life.
After Emily married the love of her life in July of 2015, she and her husband moved to Texas. Even though we don't live in the same city anymore, we still get to see each other two or three times a year and when we are together it's like nothing has changed. During her time in town for the holidays, we decided to capture a few maternity photos on Palm Beach Island!
Emily's maternity session took place on the dreamy seashore of Palm Beach Island. Her lifestyle maternity shoot was a simply perfect reflection of my best friend in her favorite place--Palm Beach.
This is such an exciting season and I feel so blessed to walk through these sweet moment with her. I cannot wait to welcome little Owen Hitchcock to this world in April 2017! Here are a few of my favorite photos from her session.

Kirsten + Alex | Breezy North Palm Beach Engagement
A Breezy North Palm Beach Engagement
On Saturday, November 12th, Andrew and I had the pleasure of capturing Kirsten and Alex's North Palm Beach engagement photos along with their adorable goldendoodle, Ziggy. Their session was so simple but absolutely stunning! Their pup Ziggy joined for many of their portaits and was unbelievely well behaved! He even stood still long enough for me to capture Kirsten's engagement ring on the tip of his nose!
Kirsten and Alex have been together for 5 years! The first two years were long distance and Alex did not have a car at the time so he used to take the Greyhound bus to see Kirsten every weekend! In October of 2013, they moved to Florida together and have been living in the Sunshine State ever since! On September 17th, Alex proposed at the top of the Jupiter Lighthouse! Kirsten was completely surprised but the surprises did stop there! Afterwards, they went to his parents' house to share the news and to Kirsten's surprise her mom and step dad were there all the way from Ohio!
Kirsten & Alex, thank you for allowing Andrew and I the pleasure of being a part of this memorable season! We can't wait to capture your wedding day in Febuary of 2018!
Alexis + John | Romantic Wedding Anniversary
A Romantic Wedding Anniversary at Riverbend Park in Jupiter, Florida
On Tuesday, October 18th, 2016 I had the pleasure of capturing Alexis and John's one-year wedding anniversary portraits. Exactly one year ago from this day they promised forever. So in honor of their vows they decided to get back into their wedding attire and have a memorable first anniversary styled portrait shoot!
The location of this anniversary session was the breathtaking Riverbend Park in Jupiter, Florida. In this dreamy park, you will find a terrain unlike any other in South Florida. This park is filled with flowing rivers, unique trees, and Spanish moss!! When the sun sets in this park it is nothing short of magical. The most glorious golden light was reflecting onto wheat-like fields creating an amazing scene.
When Alexis first contacted me to capture their anniversary portraits I was beyond thrilled! And when I heard what she had in mind I was over the moon! We immediately began chatting about ideas and as a result, we came up with the most dreamy and romantic wedding anniversary shoot ever!
John and I have known each other since we were in grade school! We grew up going to the same church and were a part of the same youth group. When John started bringing Alexis to church I remember thinking how cute they were together! Fast forward to today, they have been together for four years and I am so happy for them!
Alexis & John, thank you so much for allowing me the pleasure of capturing your anniversary portraits! It was such an honor to capture this special time in your life. Here's to many more beautiful years to come!

Lindsay + Gyles | Tropical Beach Wedding in Bonita Springs, FL
A Breezy Tropical Beach Wedding at The Club at Barefoot Beach in Bonita Springs, Florida
On Saturday, October 8th, 2016 Andrew and I had the pleasure of traveling to the West coast of Florida for Gyles & Lindsay's tropical beach wedding at the Club at Barefoot Beach in Bonita Springs, Florida. This tropical beach wedding was an eye-catching array of vibrant colors and breezy, beachy vibes. The bridesmaids wore bright pink strapless gowns and the groomsmen wore white button-down shirts with light khaki slacks. Bright pink parasols and streamers filled the ceremony scene as the stunning couple made their way down the aisle as husband and wife for the first time!
Every detail came together so perfectly to bring the tropical theme to life. The Club at Barefoot Beach was the perfect beach front venue and the staff was amazing! It was our first time capturing a wedding in Bonita Springs, Florida, so it was a delightful change of scenery! We also had the chance to work with some amazing local vendors! They graciously welcomed us 'out-of -towners' and were a pleasure to work with!
Lindsay was a special bride because she has been in three other weddings we have captured. She was a bridesmaid in Brittany & Josh's wedding is 2014, Danielle and John's wedding in 2015 and Rochelle & Scott's wedding earlier this year! Plus she will also be in her sister Lauren's wedding in July of 2017! This whole wedding felt like a family reunion for us! All three of our previous couples were there with their families so it was quite wonderful to see them all!
Lindsay & Gyles, thank you so much for allowing Andrew and I the pleasure of capturing your amazing wedding day! So honored to have been a part of your big day! We wish many years of happiness!
These bouquets by Signature Florals were amazing! So this creative pose was all Andrew's idea! Rochelle & Scott who you may remember from their wedding at the Addison earlier this year! Three of my brides in one photo! Love these ladies!
