Little Emily

Sorry it has been a bit since my last post. We moved and life got a little crazy but we are all settled in now and loving it. AND I am thrilled to be bringing you this post from my brand-spankin-new iMAC. It is going to make my life so much easier so just buckle up. 

Anyway, I can’t wait to share this adorable little girl with you. Emily just turned one last weekend so we thought it would be fun to do a little photo shoot. She is darling, so open wide for a huge dose of cute…

I love when kids study my camera and try to figure it all out, so precious…

clearly daddy’s little girl…

what a DOLL!

my fave for last…

happy birthday emily!

Mona & Co.

Mona and I have worked together for almost two years now and on Monday I had the opportunity to spend some time with her and her darling family for a shoot in Palm Beach.

Here are just a few of my favorites from the session.

Mona & Jorge are just totally smitten with each other, it’s very cute.

Sophie is totally adorable!

So is her lil bro Joseph!

Fave shot of the day below, Joseph taking some of his first solo steps. Look how proud he is!

Thanks Mona for letting me in on such a beautiful time in your life.

The Mackey Boys

This week is going to be full of new shoots to post! I am so excited about each and every one but I am going to try to make the next few posts a little abbreviated so you can see all of them without taking too much of your time. 

Yesterday I had the joy of being invited to photograph four very handsome little boys that I first met last year for their family shoot.  Caleb, Josiah, Levi & Silas met my friend Kelley and I at a little creek behind our church to do a fun shoot to celebrate Levi’s second birthday. The boys had fun catching minnows and climbing trees and Kelley and I had fun photographing them!

It was hard to decide which shots to post but this will hopefully give you a snapshot of their charm. Enjoy!

The Megathlins

This shoot was a long time comin’ but it was totally worth the wait.

Shelly and I have been friends since college and we’ve been talking about doing a session for a while, well today was finally the day. She and her hubby Dave have two adorable kiddos, Emma & Jacob, that I have been excited to photograph for what feels like ever!

We were a little nervous about where we would shoot considering the 85% chance of rain- so we decided on a place that held some nostalgic value for Dave (and also a bridge to shoot under if the rain came down).

I love finding new backdrops and this place was full of them. I had such a great time just romping around and I even managed to snap a few fun shots…

So meet the Megathlins.

You can see why their children are so beautiful…

Jacob is pure gorgeous.

And Emma, at a whole 4 years old, has got some serious style!

She totally worked the old blanket I pulled out of my closet for this shoot!

Oh and these kids are melt-your-heart sweet too!

and because sandy hands and feet get me every time…

kids. beach. love.

Thanks Shell for makin it happen. Love you guys!

New Website

This is a big day for me.

Jessica Lorren Photography now has a website to call her own.  It has been a long time coming but now it’s here and I am just giddy.

I owe a huge thanks to all of the amazing people I have had the opportunity to work with over the past year.  I love each of you.

So turn on your speakers, take a look, let me know what you think!

Here’s where you click -> www.JessicaLorren.com

Oh and here is a recent fave shot from my adventures…

Brand-new:Rylen Wade Baker

This is the moment we’ve all been waiting for…haha or maybe just me.

Rylen Wade Baker is finally here and this morning he had his very first photoshoot with Jessica Lorren Photography. Most of you reading this will know why this little dude is so special but if you’re new around here you can catch up on Rylen on his mommy’s blog or view previous Baker shoots like Kelly’s Belly pics or baby shower pics right here on my blog. Anyway- he is so precious and many prayers have brought him here healthy and handsome. He had a bit of a tummy ache for our shoot this morning but I think we still did alright.

 

You guys are going to have to forgive us for this one but his mommy is my biggest fan!

rylen- you are already so loved little guy and I know this is the beginning of a beautful friendship.

a little hero

For those of you who have been keeping up with me lately, I recently shared that I have joined The Littlest Heroes Project and that I would be doing my first hero shoot very soon.

Well here’s how it went…I met the Anselmo Family at Coral Cove park in Jupiter which is a family fave because of the rocky beach, subtle dunes, and playground. The moment I arrived, I was warmly greeted with a big hug from Ana and introduced to her daughter, Savannah. The first thing I noticed about Savannah was her adorable style. I then learned that she has a shoe and handbag fetish at the age of two and that her mom has no idea where she picked that up! In talking with Ana, I discovered that Savannah is not only an amazing child full of strength and bravery but that she has been blessed with two parents who have the positivity and love to tackle anything. I won’t get into all of the details of what makes Savannah a hero because you can read them on her mom’s blog.  But I will tell you that she has battled more in her two years than most people do in a lifetime yet she is still is full of that childlike joy we all wish we held onto. So here are a few of the shots that we captured, I hope you like them.

 

check out the handbag and boots…

Looks like she knows how to have a good time.

Just enjoying the finer things in life like fresh flowers with loved ones,

and oreo cookies!

She has the most adorable expressions, dont ya think?

So here’s to my first little hero and her beautiful family!

The Siggins

We love The Siggins! Chris and Kim and their 4 kiddos are incredibly dear to us. After Dave and I got engaged, the first decision we made was that Chris Siggins would do our wedding. Literally 30 minutes after I said yes. We just love him that much. And Kim…let me tell you is the sweetest yet most hilarious pastor’s wife I have ever met! They both have masters degrees in family counseling and a passion for restoring and strengtening families. They have three strapping boys and one little girlie who fits in just perfectly. This family is going to do big things…just wait! 

Caleb is the oldest,  and a very cool kid with an awesome smile!

Zach is the silly handsome one with the adorable dimples!

And Gabriel….just watch out girls.

Baby Kylie who took so many good pics, I had a hard time narrowing it down.

Little men.

And the little lady doing her own thing.

They were all great sports at 8 am. So thanks guys!

PS: Thanks again to Grassy Waters Preserve!

The Reynolds

This has been a crazy-busy week but after a very productive Saturday I am pleased to present to you…(drumroll please?)…the blog previews from tonight’s shoot with The Reynolds Family. YAY. Jason and Ashley of http://ashleyandjason.com/wordpress/ are somewhat new in town and hail from the big ol’ state of Texas. So when it came time to photograph their darling family, the beach was a great choice to show all those folk back home what they’re missin! We had alot of fun and great weather at Coral Cove. They have three little girlies who are just absolute dolls. See for yourself:

That is Lilly, the big sissy and the first kid ever to say “cheeseburger” when I took their picture.

This is Sydney, quite possibly the easiest child to photograph, ever.

And most recently, Abby, born on October 3rd.  So sweet…

And the two parents behind it all.

As you can see, Jason is outnumbered. (but I think he’s ok with it)

 It’s true what they say, “Girls just wanna have fun”…

So Reynolds…Hope you love them and thanks for inviting me to capture this precious stage!

Babes

I have fallen so deeply in love with photography this past year that naturally, I have started looking for ways to just bless others with the gift of memories. I have a few exciting things on the line that I will be sharing with you soon but my first opportunity was this past week. I was invited to come and photograph the adorable babes of Martin County’s teen parent program. It was a great way to kick off the Christmas Season. So I have posted just a few to give you a glimpse of joy! Ho, Ho, Ho

These siblings were so darn cute that I had to make a little collage.

Merry Christmas!
