These beautiful girls came to see us for a snow session and braved the cold and inches and inches of snow. I think we were all a little frozen by the end of the session but it was totally worth it. I can’t wait for their full sessions this spring, and here’s hoping it is […]

We’ve done, summer, fall and now snow with Daytona and it is hard […]

As I sit here listening to the sleet and wind outside my living room window and read article after article about the blizzard that is happening I am reminded of Danielle & Jordan’s cold wedding day earlier this month. Though I can say with certainty that none of us expected there to be snow for […]

You might recognize this sweet girl from a pool session we did with her this summer. (That session was much warmer and sunnier weather!) Though her fall session was on a chilly overcast October day, we can’t complain about how gorgeous the fall colors were! They were incredible. Brooklyn is such a beautiful girl inside […]
