Home-Birth Photography in Wellington FL

Home-birth Photography in Wellington FL.  What a privilege to be able to capture an event as intimate as childbirth! Every single time I photograph birth I am reminded of how great our God is and what a true miracle and gift human life is ♥ I relive this experience over and over again with each opportunity :-)

Maternity Portraiture at Amazing Births in Boca Raton

Pregnancy is one of the most thrilling experiences that a woman can go through.  It is filled with so many new sensations, cravings, sicknesses & emotions.  The little bibs, booties and onesies are so little and cute, all of the toys and nursery furniture is so exciting to shop for.  All the while, the parent's hearts are being filled with so many hopes and dreams for this teeny tiny baby that is being weaved inside of mommy's womb.  What a precious gift from God!  I had the opportunity to photograph this lovely couple who is expecting their first baby.  The excitement is so apparent! They really opened up to me and allowed me to capture their essence and love for each other.  I had a blast working with them!!

Relationship Photography

Prior to approaching a photo session, I always ask myself how I could capture the essence & personality of people that I might not know very well.  I know it has a lot to do with their comfort level and ability to open up under the pressure to perform in front of the camera and while some people are more natural at this then others, it is still my task to draw this out of the most shy people.

I aim to not only capture the personality of my subjects but also the relationship between multiple family members.  I would consider this to be relationship photography that aims to freeze the love in a family for a moment in time & capture it on film.  It is the loving embrace, the kiss, the sweet gaze, the laughter & real smiles...it is about who they are and what they share with one another.  It is what I consider to be my particular style.  It is fun and loving and sweet! It is the challenge that I give myself prior to each session.

Relationship photography is what I do!  I love photographing pregnant couples, newborns & families for this very reason and also because it encumbers who I am.  I can relate to a pregnant new mom & her anticipation to see & hold her precious baby, I can also relate to the aches, pains and anxiety associated with the whole ordeal...trust me, I've been there and done that four times so it is nothing new to me!  I can relate to the mom of a newborn with the lack of sleep & range of emotions, but also the ultimate and indescribable joy that comes with each precious bundle of joy!!  I know what it means to be a mom and heck I even homeschool my fabulous four, so I know exactly what goes into parenting and discipline and unconditional love.  I bring my personal experience to the table when dealing with my clients, I bring my knowledge & love for babies/children and passion for the art of photography to every single job that I am entrusted with.  I want to create memories that my clients will truly love and treasure for many many years to come!

Maternity Yoga at Amazing Births w/Cecile

I had the opportunity to photograph Cecile Lanao's maternity yoga class a few weeks ago.  It was so calm and relaxing in that room...these mom's & mom's-to-be were very relaxed and super flexible! It definitely looks like a great way to prepare for birth! Allie created a youtube video of the shots.  Check it out and contact the center for more information!

Newborn Photography in Boca Raton

I had the pleasure of photographing this fun loving family for their maternity photography session at Amazing Births and Beyond in Boca Raton, FL, so after their baby girl was born we were all very excited to get some photos done.  At 1-month-old healthy baby Lila is weighing in at 7 pounds.  She was born early (34 weeks gestation) and yet her lungs were fully mature and she was perfectly fine! She entered the world into her loving daddy's arms at home!

Okay, since I'm on a blogging roll right now, I figured I'd write another one because who knows when I'll be back to update it right?! hehehe!! Well, I figured it was appropriate to add a blog for the photo business as well yah know ;-) Well, I have been super busy lately between homeschooling, Moriah's soccer practices, homeschool group activities, gym, and normal homelife that I have kind of put off some of the things that I have been needing to do for the business.  This weekend I will be working on designing some new business cards (since my old ones are a bit outdated).  I also have several clients to contact (1 maternity, 1 newborn) in regards to photographing them for the Amazing Births & Beyond display project that I need to start working on ASAP!!  It is very exciting for me to know that once I finish all of these sessions that I will have my photography work on display for all to see ;-)  It is truly a blessing to be able to do what I really love professionally and without conflict to the other thing that I love very much - homeschooling my babies!!
