Ella's Beautiful Baby Session ~ Jacksonville FL Child Photographer

I can't believe it has almost been two years since I first met Ella!  I photographed her every three months her first year of life and even had the pleasure of photographing her first birthday party!  It has been almost a year since I have seen her last and boy she has grown!  With her second birthday right around the corner she is full of energy and only has two speeds.... go and... go  : )    This age can be one of the most challenging to capture, but the reward of getting those perfect shots feels so good!   I should also note that Ella won my Beautiful Baby contest a few months ago...  It is obvious why, she is absolutely precious!

I know it has been a while... Here is a little update about what I have been up to!!

In May we celebrated Candace and Matt's son, Tyler, second Heavently Birthday... I had the honor of making the invite... :o) We had an awesome day...

This weekend coming up is Alivia's first birthday!! She loves Elmo so we had a mini photo shoot with Dorothy the Goldfish and created this super cute Elmo themed invite for her birthday bash!

For fathers Day Candace wanted to do something special for Matt, who is a Bakery Manager at Publix.... How cute does Maddy look cooking up some I love Daddy cookies!?

Kristi asked me to create a banner for her new Etsy site... She creates the cutest little crochet animals and baby stuff etc.... Check out her site at CrochetByKristi.etsy.com

So that inspired me to create my own too!! Check out mine at KelliCarpenter.etsy.com

Here is a new mermaid painting I did recently!

Maddy Turns One!!!

This past year has flown by... It is hard to believe that one year ago today Maddy was born. It was such a scary day! Maddy arrived really early and so much was unknown when she was born. Now a year later she has grown into a gorgeous little girl and fills our lives with so much joy. It has been amazing to witness her growing. I remember the first time I saw her, held her, the first time she laughed then crawled and now she will be walking soon. Every time she does something new I look at Candace, her Mom, with such amazement because it is so awesome to see her changing everyday. As I said bye to Maddy tonight I hugged her and teared up, just still not believing she is here. These past few years have been quite a roller coaster ride, but we wouldn't trade the memories, the happy and the sad, for a minute! Life is so precious...

So Happy First Birthday Maddy! I love you!! Aunt Kelli
