Awwww! Meet Jess! She is my fabulous assistant this year! She and her hubby moved to St Pete from San Fran last fall and the lovely Gina of Babe Crafted hooked us up! We were instant friends and I am so happy to have her in my life. Her positivity and creativity has been such a godsend. Having her with me for the double header weekend when I learned the news about my sister’s cancer…having her with me for the double header when I had the flu….seriously guys teamwork makes the dream work. Anyway she had just found out they were expecting when we met! it has been such a joy to be there during her pregnancy and I was so honored to capture her maternity portraits. 

That good ole summer rain caused us to pick an indoor location and we couldn’t have had a better spot with Fancy Free. She loved the rich boho vibe and they were so happy to let us include their first born Mr. Frank, the french bulldog. HE SMILES! I wanted to steal him and that adorable bow tie! We were so excited to use their whicker peacock chairs and they even had a mini one that we put Frankie on! It was so much fun to photograph this growing family and I am happy to share that their little babe Ryan was born 2 weeks ago, even though today is his due date! I cannot wait to meet him and see what an amazing mom Jess is. Congratulations to the Frederick’s!
