The Heinecke Family | Orlando Portrait Photographer

When we bought our first house just before our wedding early last year, we had no idea what to expect from our neighborhood. We drove around it a few times before buying, but the only thing we knew about our neighbors was that "they are nice" (said the previous home-owners). "They are nice" really doesn't do justice to our incredible neighbors. They are ALL more than just "nice." They welcomed us with open arms not only into the neighborhood, but into their homes and lives. We have become so close with each of them; particularly this incredible family. The Heinecke's are like family to us now, and we can't even fathom ever moving away from this neighborhood and being away from them and their three beautiful children. 

Beautiful twins <3 

The Quinones' Family! | Orlando Family Photographer

I had the best time with this amazing family of four! I absolutely love how they heard about us because it just shows how powerful word of mouth can be. One of our past grooms was getting his hair cut and started talking with the woman next to him. He mentioned that he's a newlywed, started showing her some of the photos we took, and next thing I know I'm getting a call from her! :) Love it!

The kids, Natalie and Jr., were so much fun to photograph. They were as sweet as can be and basically made the session I envisioned come to life! I spoke with the mom beforehand and we brainstormed on session ideas. Once we decided on the field, plane and antique doll, the rest just followed easily. I just couldn't believe that it turned out just like I envisioned, so needless to say, I was thrilled with the outcome!

Enjoy the sneak peek! <3 

 

Mini-Session: Taylor

Taylor's mini-session went perfectly! She is at a great age, and she has so much spunk! I love how outgoing and free-spoken she is..and can we talk about how beautiful her freckles are? I adore freckles, and Taylor has just the perfect amount on that cute little face!

Enjoy!

Mini-Session: Cooper

Our first mini-session event was a complete success! The weather was to die for, the families were outstanding, and well...that's pretty much all a photographer could ever ask for!

Meet the Cooper kids! They are such beautiful kids and very easy to work with. I absolutely loved taking their photos. :) Enjoy their sneak peek!

Introducing Layla Grace

Mary and Chris have finally welcomed the sweetest baby girl into this world; Layla Grace. To view their maternity session and my story about them, click here.

If you know Mary and Chris, you know that they were born to be together and to have a family. They are such happy people, and Layla is lucky to have parents like them. Of the many years that I have known Mary, I was never able to meet her mom. Luckily she was there for this session because now I know exactly where Mary gets her amazing personality! They have the same contagious laugh, the same sense of fulfillment in life, and I just know that Layla will be just like them.

Unfortunately Chris wasn't able to be there for the infant session (too bad the father's don't get paternity leave right??), but I will make sure to get photos of him and his baby girl soon enough. Until then, enjoy their sneak peak!
