Melissa, James, and Their 6 Month Old

Today may be Super Bowl Sunday with the big football game on but we have a future baseball star on the blog! Jason was there when Melissa and James were married and photographed their son’s newborn session as well. Their little boy just turned 6 months and Jason was excited to see their family again! Aunt Amanda was there for a few “My Auntie is the Best” pictures too. Thanks for coming over, and it won’t be long until it is time to smash a cake!

Nikki and Nathan’s Newborn

Nikki and Nathan’s newborn (I love alliteration!) was just a few days old when Jason went to his house for a session. The poor little guy wasn’t feeling his best that day but he got lots of love and cuddles from his mom and dad. Jason said they were a terrific family and so in love with their little boy. Thanks for having Jason there to photograph your new baby! The newborn stage goes by way too quickly.

This picture makes me laugh! A dog’s gotta do what a dog does – and come on, the smells coming from there have to be so new and interesting to him!

Sara and Brian’s Newborn Baby Girl

We are so happy for Sara and Brian! Jason photographed their wedding two years ago and they were blessed with a beautiful baby girl just before the new year. Seeing their daughter was a bittersweet reminder of how quickly that newborn phase is over. Our 3 month old looked so huge next to their newborn! I hope these pictures capture this precious time for Sara and Brian. Congratulations on your adorable little girl! We can’t wait until we get together again!

Thank You 2011!

2011 was such a fantastic year for us! Thanks to everyone who welcomed us into your lives and allowed us to share in your most special memories. Last year we made a collage of weddings. This year we welcomed our new baby into the family so we are doing something different and sharing a collage of all of the newborns of 2011! You can see highlights from weddings, sessions, and events of 2011 in the highlights albums we created on our Facebook page.

We hope all of you enjoy your New Year’s Eve celebrations and all the best for a terrific 2012!

Jason met Emily, Shane, and their son for a family session at the University of Tampa. Their little boy is 9 months old and looked very cute in his knit sweater. Dad enjoyed meeting all of them and said they were a great family. Thanks to Emily and Shane for getting up early to have your session with Jason!

9 Month Christmas Portrait Session: Ruth and Jared’s Daughter

Jason Angelini — Mon, 19 Dec 2011 05:54:50 +0000

Ruth and Jared have a beautiful little girl who is now 9 months old! Jason has photographed Ruth’s maternity session and he met Ruth and Jared’s daughter for a 3 month session. For the 9 month session Jason went to the family’s new house and took Christmas pictures of Ruth, Jared, and their baby girl. She had beautiful smiles and was absolutely precious! I think it is awesome that she ended the session by eating a leaf. That is what being a baby is all about! Thanks to Ruth and Jared for having us capture these memories for you. Merry Christmas!

Sophie, Thomas, and Their Two Sons

Jason met Sophie and Thomas’s oldest son for his first birthday and photographed their family again when their son turned two. With kids, time goes by quickly and he is now three years old and a big brother! Little brother joined their family just a few days before Jason went to their house for a session. He took some newborn pictures of little brother and three year pictures of big brother. They ended the night with the boys joining Thomas on his Harley which I think is so cute! Congratulations on your new baby boy Sophie, Thomas, and big brother!

Shelly and Chris’s Two Boys

Jason Angelini — Sun, 18 Dec 2011 17:31:07 +0000

Shelly and Chris’s oldest son has changed so much since Jason last saw him a year ago. Last year he still looked like a baby but now he looked much older and bigger! He is two years old and now a big brother! Shelly and Chris have a second son who is 6 months old. Jason was happy to meet him and see the whole family again. It was a fun session and the boys are adorable!

Merry Times this Christmas Season

Every year we have a Christmas party and invite all of our past and present clients as a thanks for allowing us to be part of your lives. Every year we have so much fun and this year was no exception! Thanks so much to everyone who joined us. We enjoyed a yummy holiday dinner from Catering by the Family. There were Christmas crafts and activities for the kids. Santa even came by and took pictures with everyone! Before he left he read ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas and lead a sing-a-long of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. We had a terrific time and felt the Christmas spirit as we celebrated the season with everyone. Merry Christmas!

The instructions on this tree say it can grow to be 40-80 feet tall! We are going to try to plant it and see what happens:

We had elves helping the kids with coloring pages, letters to Santa, and other Christmas crafts such as picture frames and ornaments:

Every year the hot chocolate station is a huge hit! We have whipped cream, marshmallows, and chocolate chips as toppings:

I didn’t do my Christmas baking yet but the desserts from the store were still yummy:

Balloon twisting and face painting!

Instead of reindeer and Christmas trees, the boys asked for lightsabers and swords:

Santa arrives! The kids looked so amazed and excited:

Darth Maul meets Luke Skywalker:

As my friend Wendy said, nothing says Christmas like Darth Maul!

A pretty elf with her elf hat:

Yummy (and messy!) food:

The Darth Mauls and their lightsabers:

Pictures with Santa are always a blast! Some kids are really happy to be with Santa, some are really NOT happy, and some could care less Here are some smiles to start off with:

Just hanging with Santa:

And then the classic Santa crying pictures! In this one, I love how she is checking him out and not liking what she sees:

Bet you can’t guess where her mom is standing:

1 out of 2 isn’t too bad!

Matching Santa hats:

More pictures with Santa:

Santa and Rudolph:

Santa isn’t just for kids!

Santa reading “‘Twas the Night Before Christmas” to the kids:

When the story was done, this little girl walked up to Santa and asked him to read it to her again. So sweet!

Thanks again to everyone who joined us, and Merry Christmas!

Michele brought her baby girl over for one month pictures and some Christmas pictures too. She was such a sweet little baby! Her expressions were really cute too. The ruffly Santa bloomers Michele brought for her were adorable! Jason enjoyed meeting them and is excited to see Michele’s daughter again at her next session!
