Hot Summer Days and Loving Families..

Stephanie contacted me about pictures for August, family pictures, a boy 'almost 7' and a gal only '19 months'....Give you, I love Florida...it is my favorite place to call home, but August + family + photography session = a possible hot mess.  Especially when it is your first beach shoot.  So, I suggested to move it up, she gladly did and we opted for an early morning shoot.  Well, I may be the only one who feels this but, it has been UNBEARABLY HOT for an early June shoot.  Regardless, we met at Honeymoon Island.  And of course, I was drenched in sweat thinking, 'how do these kids not notice we are running around in a sauna?!'  They did great, and lots of beach exploration, digging, bird/boat watching happened as I wiped the sweat of my brow and tried my best to capture it...here are a few I edited.  Have a great Monday!



'Miss Jessie, did you know that you can hear the ocean in this shell?...'  'Aww, you are just the cutest, but please don't call me 'Miss'' I feel old.

Emily had no problems showing the boat passing by the shell she discovered!
This is my favorite (the mom and me pic), Emily was so cute with her lil pigtails.

About Me

There is so much joy and love in life, its not always perfect but its there. At any opportunity that comes my way, at any stage of life I feel blessed to be able to capture it. Capturing your lives as they are now touches me. It shows strength through trials, love for family, joy for celebration, the beauty of growth and the fun in just everyday relationships. With that being said, I love what I do and have a blast doing it! Visit my website www.jessieophotography.com
