Little Ben | 5 Days New | Saint Johns Lifestyle Newborn Portraits

documentary newborn photography

One of my most favorite types of sessions is documentary or lifestyle. This family trusted me to come into their perfectly-imperfect home that they just moved into a few weeks prior to their newest baby being born, and capture images of them being “them.” Was their toddler anything but a toddler? Nope. Was their home immaculate? Nope. The wonderful thing about hiring a professional photographer to come into your home is that I know how to capture real life and keep it beautiful.

I spent about 3 hours with this family of four, capturing beautiful images that will be cherished forever, and hiding the “mess.” These newborn sessions do not cost any more money than a regular newborn session, even though I travel to you. It just depends on the style of photography you want to have to remember your newborn’s first days. I don’t bring my posing props here, and I use what is on hand at your home. I like to go into the nursery, or mom and dad’s room as I did here, along with the family room. Which style do you prefer more? This one, or the posed studio look which can be seen here?

Modern and Fun Tween Sessions

Jacksonville FL Best Friend PicturesSo, I had this crazy idea not too long ago, about how children between the ages of 10-14 really don’t have a lot of portraits (outside of the necessary, boring school photos) of themselves. Girls especially, are battling self-confidence issues and I want to help fight that battle against negativity. I brought these girls out to a little hidden location and had a photo shoot with them. These were all best friends, of course . . . but along with a few group shots, I also captured individual shots of them, showing off their personality, along with a bit of finishing touches in editing software . . . there is minimal retouching on the girls – a little dab of teeth whitening, some under-eye shadows lessened . . . acne removed, if any . . . and there you go. I’m not tucking chins, thinning arms and waistlines. These girls are beautiful, and they should be celebrated. In fact, I ask moms not to put any makeup on them, unless it’s a tad of mascara or lip gloss, but even that isn’t necessary.

Wehner School of Dance Modern Kids Portraits

These girls know each other from Wehner’s School of Dance and the Arts and have been best friends for years – as in, before they even started school – and now the oldest is in 7th grade; while the others are in 5-6 grades. I love being able to celebrate friendships like this.

Children-Kids-Friendship-PicturesIf you’d like your Tween (typically between the ages of 10-14, but can be younger) to participate in a fun photo session like this one, please reach out by either calling me at 904.868.0732 or by filling out this contact form (or the one above you that mentions pricing and contact on the menu bar). These sessions are special and will be $150 for one girl. Her BFF is welcome to come along and be in a few as well, and keep her company but this session is for ONE person. I do also offer “birthday sessions” for a fun twist on tween birthday parties. 🙂

Caroline | 8 Days New {Jacksonville Beaches Newborn Photographer}

Jacksonville Beach Newborn Session

I had so much fun with Caroline, her mom, and her grandma when they came into my studio a few months ago. She was tiny, and quite a sleeper, so it allowed us to do multiple setups. I love the neutral tones that we chose for her. They went well with her fair skin . . . and can yo believe that full head of dark, gorgeous hair? gah!

Sweet Newborn Fleming Island Florida

With Caroline’s grandma in town (mom’s mom), how could we not get a three-generation photo of these lovely girls? I love how chill Caroline was here. Most babies love to be all curled up when they’re naked, but not Caroline. She loved just letting her arms and legs hang where they fell!Newborn and Parent Posed Image

And then this blanket . . . a long time ago, Caroline’s daddy was a little boy. He used this blanket back then. It was made for him by his grandmother (so this sweet baby’s great-grandmother) who is no longer living. This was a special photo request and was to be a gift for HIS mom. Heirloom Blanket with Newborn Baby Image

These were just a few of the over 50 images I handed over to Caroline’s mom after their Viewing Appointment. 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.
