Jennifer and Michael ~ Watercolor, FL Maternity Session

Woot! -- Blog number 2 in one week... This is a world record for me! Is someone out there recording this? 

Also, while we are on the topic of world records, I've met my own personal record of doing more than one maternity session a year. Big stuff, I know ;) This year seems to have a few more baby-booming beauties calling me up for sessions. Hooray! Keep - em - coming! Each maternity session opens my eyes to new ideas and ways to celebrate the most incredible chapter in a couple's lives. 

Meet Jennifer and Michael (below), an easygoing couple with the most infectious laughter & the cutest little baby bump around. Our maternity session took place a couple of weeks ago in Watercolor, Florida on a soft-lit cool spring day. Surrounding us were colorful varieties of flowers, flowing water, and the occasional clan of bicyclists.  

Jennifer came with a few ideas for incorporating personalization into her session. Some of them included, a custom chalkboard sign, which read "Oh, boy!" (#favorite), another was a pair of his first shoes, and then a large cardboard letter "M" to represent his name. 

Special thanks to our coordinating crew, Jami (Jennifer's sister) and her mother for their constant jokes, ideas, and support throughout our session. Just like their new addition will be, their session turned out perfectly sweet and just right in every way.

Vanessa&Brittany | Block Party Fashion Shoot

Something different... 

Wow, where do I start with this session... First of all, I met Vanessa Jay (blonde) a few months ago at a bridal shower for one of my very best friends. The theme of the bridal shower was to dress "pinup" for the night. I'm being honest when I say, we all knocked it out of the park with our pinup styles... but one girl in particular, Vanessa, stood out to me with her confident nature and her exquisitely bold pinup style. She fit the look to a tee, hands down! Naturally, I begged Vanessa to model with me for fun sometime to showcase her zany style and beauty. Thankfully, she was all about it and introduced me to one of her best friends and style soul sisters, Brittany Wade who matched up perfectly with Vanessa with her beauty, confidence, and dark contrasting wavy locks. Our shoot was soley for the purpose of creating something beautiful with our talents and to share our creative outlets in a free spirited, open minded way. We just went with it and trusted our ideas all along the way. 

The location: For months, I've been driving by these teal apartments reminiscent of an old vintage motel in Ft. Walton Beach, Florida. The colorful walls & old school 70's block party feel to the place has been calling my name. Vanessa&Brittany's looks were perfect for something old school and edgy to fit the scene. Side note: The girls fit so well together, I have now combined their names semi-permanently ;) 

Before checking out the images, I beg you view our "behind the scenes" footage shot by my darling friend, Ashley Ferrell, with some of the final images included to show start to finish! The footage will give you a very unique perspective to see just how the scene looked and what we turned it into. So very grateful for all of these ladies and our team effort & not to mention the finished product that everyone helped to create. Enjoy! 

And for the results... Well, they were smashingly gorgeous, as expected!
