We here at C. R Newman Photography just absolutely adore Lindsey!!! {And were so happy to finally meet Dave after all these years!} Clint and I first photographed Lindsey about 5 years ago in our makeshift studio when we were "hobbiest" photographers. Things have come a long way since then but its always so amazing to see and photograph the people who were among the first to stand in front of our camera! Lindsey is no longer living in Florida as the military has a way of moving people around, but when she told me they would be coming down for vacation and wanted to do a maternity shoot with us I was thrilled!! She was absolutely glowing and Dave was the perfect husband :) I love the variety of images we captured during this session. Lindsey requested "whimsical" and according to her "we nailed it!" - SCORE! I can't wait to meet the little guy when he makes his appearance in a few shorts months :) Congrats to this wonderful couple! We love you!

Meet the Saito family!!! This family is just adorable and they toughed out some pretty intense conditions at the beach during their session. Family sessions with a two-month-old and a two-year-old can be challenging in and of itself, but to add to it we had gusting winds and quickly dropping temperatures throughout the shoot. I loved their energy and enthusiasm though, they kept pushing forward through it all! In addition to shooting photos of the entire family, one of my favorite additions to every family session is to get photos of mommies and daddies with their little ones. Nothing says LOVE like a kiss and a hug from a child :) I like to just let families {play} and we get some really cute candid shots! A special thanks goes out to MY momma for coming along on this shoot to help out with the lights because I knew it would be so windy! <3
This maternity session was very special for me as I had the joy and privilage of photographing my oldest and dearest friend. Brandi and I met freshman year of highschool playing soccer {and having 4 out of 6 classes together!} and have been best friends ever since :) When I found out that Brandi and Trent were expecting a little bundle of joy I was through the moon! "I HAVE to shoot your maternity photos!" were the first words out of my mouth {after "OH MY GOSH!!!!! YAY!" - of course}. I couldn't be happier for these two and know that they will make the best parents. Baby Landon is one lucky little guy to have them as his parents, role models, friends, supporters, and most of all soccer instructors ;) haha but in all seriousness, congrats you guys. I love you both!
Meet the Armstrong family!!! I just loved photographing them!! They were absolutely open to any idea I had and these kids were amazing! Chloe smiled on cue and Ty gave his signature "model stare" and I can't resist the adorable brother/sister kiss going on! {Not so sure they wanted to see mommy and daddy kiss though} I love when a family is open to my creative ideas and isn't afraid to try something new. A lot of times family photographs come off looking a bit "plain Jane" but you won't find that here! I like action shots, candid "caught in the moment" shots, and most definitely the love and bond of parents and children captured in real time. Thanks for a great shoot guys! Looking forward to seeing you again soon for your generation session with the whole gang! :)
Turok at three months old!!! This is why I absolutely LOVE shooting "watch me grow" sessions because we get to do stuff like this!! His daddy held him in the same pose for his newborn photos and we did it again in black and white for three months-its amazing to see him grow. Three months is {to be honest} a very hard age to photograph. He isn't quite able to sit yet, but he doesn't want to lay down and be still. It is an in between stage that requires a lot of patience {right mom and dad!?!} and a lot of persistence to get the shot! Turok is still as cute as ever though, and just look at him in that bow tie! Come on-who can resist a little man in a bow tie :) Great seeing you guys again!
Sienna, otherwise known as, little Miss Personality! The last time I photographed Sienna she was 6 months old...now she is a year and a half and is still full of the same joy and has the best smile and expressions! I just love watching kids grow up in front of my camera :) The best part of this session, besides how incredibly adorable she is {of course} is the love that this family has for her! Grandma and Grandpa came along, as well as mom, and they all just adore this precious child. I love to see true love <3 Grandpa ran around with Sienna chasing him and she just laughed and laughed and laughed. Makes for some priceless photos and memories. Thanks for another great session guys!
Meet Turok!!! This little bundle of joy was three weeks old when I photographed him which is typically much older than you'd want to shoot newbie photos...but he pleasantly surprised me by doing AMAZING!! I haven't had the opportunity to shoot newborn photos in a while so was very excited to be shooting Turok just a few weeks after doing maternity photos for mom and dad! We knew going into it that black and white would be our main focus, but wanted to throw in some outdoor natural light, gorgeous Florida color in the end! After a quick rain break {which turned out to be useful for a quick feeding break as well} we were able to get outside for a few wide awake photos. Turok has amazing wide eyes and they seemed to stare right through me. One of the photos from this session is one of my favorite photos I've ever taken. When dad held Turok in his arm, Turok reached down and held onto his daddy's finger...my heart melted in this magical moment. I loved that I was able to deliver these images just in time for his first father's day! :) I can't wait to watch Turok grow up in front of my camera...see ya'll in a few months!
Oh my, oh my!!!! How much fun was this session!?! Jessica is a chef/baker, cook book writer, and food blogger who came to me in need of updated photos for her blog :) She is so talented and so sweet!! I loved being invited into this wonderful family's home for these photos-and I loved that they were all on board to make a HUGE mess in the kitchen! These 9 month old twins were too cute and had me giggling the whole time. While one had both hands in the {eggless} cookie dough, the other had a fist full of chocolate chips! Needless to say they were having a great time too! While I was there I was able to snap a few photos of the twins in the front garden and a family photo in front of their adorable house.

We love the Robinson family, and I ADORE these photos from their beach session!!! Last year we had the honor of photographing Joanna's maternity session and also Zachary's newborn session-almost one year later they came back to us for family photos right before Zachary turned O.N.E!! :) Joanna and I discussed {in detail haha} what colors work best at the beach and how to color coordinate a family's wardrobe for a session- I gotta say, she did one heck of a job! They are all beautiful and we had a great night at the beach. A big thanks goes out to her sister who was there to assist in making Zachary smile by running in and out of the scene over and over....and over....and over...!!! I hope ya'll enjoy these photos as much as I do!
Last year we did Blake's newborn session-he was just as cute as can be! And now he has turned ONE and we got together to photograph him again :) Mom, Andrea, worked hard behind me dancing and singing to get Blake to smile and laugh. He had moments of pure excitement and that was my cue to click, click, click! I love these photos of him looking so joyful and full of life. They brought along some fun props too-great job guys!! Happy birthday to Blake and thanks for letting me be a part of his journey through life!
Oh, the Evans family!!! I just love these little girlies :) Oldest daughter, Emma, has a piece of my heart-thats for sure! I had the honor of being her nanny for a short while last year and she is one that is easy to love. It was great being able to catch up with the whole family during their photo shoot. They are all so easy going and free spirited-I think the photos definitely capture their true essence. Sisterly love at its finest <3
How beautiful is this family! These kids have the most gorgeous eyes-and they get it from their momma {can't you tell}!!! I loved this location because we had two completely different scenes to work with. We started off with some country rustic-I like to call those kids "the travelers" :) I've been wanting to use that trunk for a long time and they fit perfectly along side it. We finished off the session on the beach as the sun went down....I adore how Becky dressed everyone, they look so darn cute! What a gorgeous sunset we had. I love having the privilege of photographing another photographer's family!
The Boyette's decided they wanted to do their Christmas photos on the beach...with a little bit of a twist! With Kristi came to me with the idea of bringing a tree and presents I was thrilled. I loved how creative and unique it was! Then she told me she wanted to build a sand snowman and I thought...oh boy, that is going to be a challenge {but fun!} Unfortunately I was unable to attend this session as I wasn't feeling well, but Clint took over and he nailed it! I love these photos, and this family. Merry Christmas everyone!
Meet the Hutchinson family!!! What a great group of people :) And proof that even if you don't want to have your picture taken, you can still end up having a fun time! {Right, David?} Even little Wilf {yes, the dog} had a good time! :) The boys were full of energy and smiled and laughed the whole time, despite being worn out from an earlier soccer match and having the bugs come out near the end of the session! I love these images because it actually looks like FALL in Florida! Who would have known we had that season, if even for a brief period of time! You guys were awesome-it was great meeting you all!
We headed to Indian Rocks Beach a few weeks ago to shoot the Robertson gang! Finally (for once!) we didn't have to fight any rain, wind or bugs- we just had perfect weather and a perfect sunset! We had the opportunity to visit with this wonderful family before we started shooting; it was great to catch up with you guys! Our main goal for this evening's session was to capture the entire family looking great in one photo since they were all vacationing together-a feat that was failed last summer due to immediate downpour. I'd say we succeeded with flying colors! :) Of course shooting individual photos of these adorable kiddies and making sure mom and dad got some cute photos was on the agenda too! Hope you guys are adjusting to real life again-can't wait to catch up again soon!
Meet the Blanton family!!! A family full of energy and love! I gotta say, these boys were probably the most 'smiley' kids I've ever photographed-and I have my husband to thank for the giggles during the session as he stood behind me and acted silly to make them laugh! Everyone was so natural in front of the camera, making this session a breeze! They laughed and interacted with each other so gracefully which produced some amazing shots of them looking adorable!! Thanks for a great time guys! We hope to see you again :)
Joanna, Tim and Alex are expecting a new addition any day now!! The count down has begun :) What an adorable little family, right?? I loved the outfits that Joanna picked out for everone, take note everyone-this is a great color scheme for photo shoots! This session flew by with ease and I was so impressed with how amazing little Alex was at taking direction and smiling on cue, he was a pleasure to photograph (and mom and dad were not so bad themselves)! We can't wait to meet baby Zachary when we do his newborn photos in a few weeks!
Sweet little Sienna, the cutest chick around! I just died when I saw the outfit that Sienna's mom and grandmother had picked out for her, it just doesn't get any more adorable!! She wasn't too happy being outside in the heat, or being placed on hard cement (even though her puppy was close by!) so we decided to go ahead and move in side for our last look with her. And wallah! She was so happy wearing the outfit, even though it was a hat and socks in the middle of Florida's April! Playing with the booties and watching everyone behind me making her grin and laugh made for some undeniably cute shots of the world's cutest baby chick :) Thank you for welcoming us into your beautiful house, we loved meeting all of you!
Meet Blake!! The cutest little puppy dog ever :) Getting ready for Blake's session, Clint and I wanted to try some completely new "newborn" tactics since it had been a little while since we shot a newbie. Looking through these now I am very happy with the results! It also helps that Blake is off the charts CUTE! We started the session with him naked, and 2 minutes in he decided to poop on our white blanket...that was the cue for us to take some pictures of Blake's older brother Brandon while we got Blake back settled again! He and his older brother were real troopers during their session as we tried many different looks with both of them! Here are a few of them!!
We had the most beautiful weather this weekend, didn't we?? Perfect for shooting this wonderful little family!!! Little Brennon and Thor were so full of energy, it was just a good time watching them run around and play! Ann Marie told me that they wouldn't last long during our photo session but we were determined to capture some amazing images of their true energy and love of life :) These photos were taken just north of Brooksville; an adorable little getaway positioned on top of one of the highest hills in Florida!
Last weekend my family came up to Brooksville to visit. They wanted to take a look at our new studio and we also took advantage of the time here to take some family photos. What started off as a simple family session, soon turned into portraits, headshots, fashion photos and this AMAZING SKY! So needless to say we had a lot of fun, taking a lot of photos! Its fun (and sweaty) being photographer and subject at the same time!
Look at this little Christmas cutie, Bryson! This little one loved to stand so we took advantage of that with this first photo, I love how 'bright eyed and bushy tailed' he looks! Clint and I experimented with some new lighting and styling techniques during this shoot and we are so happy with the results! I feel very much in the Christmas spirit after looking at all these photos in one place...I wonder what Santa will be bringing me this year!? :)
