San Marco Maternity Session {Epping Forest Yacht Club}

Back towards the end of March, I was contacted by this sweet mom-to-be who wanted both newborn and maternity photos. Her vision for her custom session was a formal garden location to go with this beautiful white dress she had bought, and I found the perfect spot at Epping Forest Yacht Club in Jacksonville, FL.

This is the couple’s first child and they wanted someone to help them capture and celebrate this special milestone in their lives. Pregnancy does crazy things to a woman’s body, but this is an opportunity to help expecting moms feel beautiful and the center of attention one last time before the new baby joins the family, and also a time to celebrate the relationship of the parents, as well. These were just a few of my favorites. They received a gallery of over 50 images (some in Black and White), and elected to purchase the entire gallery of images.

We took some time at the very end of the evening for them to just enjoy the sunset. I put on a long zoom lens and just stepped out of their space to allow them to enjoy each other more. The end of the evening is a great time to get these, once guys (especially) have a chance to loosen up a bit in front of the camera.

I cherish this time together with expecting parents, as it gives us a chance to get to know one another prior to me potentially working with their newborn. If you’d like to commission me to photograph your maternity or newborn session, please feel free to reach out using this contact form or calling me at 904.868.0732 (and please leave a message if I’m not available). I look forward to hearing from you!

Mom and Me Minis

{Jacksonville, Florida}

Mother’s Day is around the corner, and in my experience with moms, most of the time it’s “US” behind the camera and not in front of it. I know it’s awkward and different, and we could pick apart a million little things we’re not happy with about ourselves – giving us plenty of excuses to NOT have our photograph taken . . . but our children LOVE us and would likely love to have a photo of just the two of you together proudly displayed on a shelf in their room, that one day, they can take with them when they head out the door to college or get their own place.jacksonville family photographer mom child 1

So, in honor of Mother’s Day, and my strong belief that moms belong in front of the camera once in a while, too, I’m holding two evenings of “Mom and Me” Minis this May. I want everyone to be able to participate, so drop hints to your husband that THIS is what you’d like more than anything, and we’ll make it happen.

Sessions are designed for mom and up to three children who are 6 months of age and older, and will be approximately 15 minutes long. They will be held in a woodsy location in the Jacksonville area (more details will follow once booked). Please don’t stress about going out and shopping for new outfits. These are designed to be a happy and fun experience

Little Brady | 10 Days New {Fleming Island Newborn Photographer}

Little Brady came to my studio when he was just 10 days new. He brought along with him his mommy, daddy and his great aunt (daddy’s aunt). I so enjoyed hearing the story of how Brady’s parents met after being set up by Brady’s great aunt! I love that they brought along the special woman who paved the way for Brady to make his grand entrance into this world and their hearts! Brady was one of my last remaining Sweet and Simple Sessions, so we captured all of his images in under two hours. Brady was a great sleeper until he woke up! Once he was awake, he was not interested in going back to sleep. But whether sleeping or awake, Brady was content and so sweet. In fact, he gave us several oh-so-sweet little smiles. Those little lips of his, I just loved them! It is often the smallest details that make me swoon.

Some of my favorite images from Brady’s session are the more relaxed and natural poses where he is snuggling a little teddy bear. The sweet bear bonnet and matching bear are by one of my favorite vendors, Devoted Knits. There is something so sweet about a brand new baby snuggling a little bear just his size!

Lastly, we were able to get some gorgeous images of Brady with his beautiful mama. Amy is just glowing with love for her brand new babe, and it really shines through in the images.

These were just a few of the over 30 images I showed Brady’s mom during their Viewing Appointment. Although the Sweet and Simple Session is no longer available, you can give me a call today at 904.868.0732, email at info@aprilpeebles.com, or check out this link for more information on my newborn sessions and help on deciding if I’m the right photographer for you and your family. There’s also a link above for Pricing and Contact that you can use instead.

I work with so many talented vendors to achieve the looks I desire in my newborn images. For Brady’s session the cream and green bonnet, as well as the grey backdrop were also by Devoted Knits. The red and blue cap is by Adorable Props. The tan wrap is by Dolly Priss.
