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!

I am loving watching this little man grow up in front of my camera. I have had the opportunity to shoot his momma's maternity session and then him as a newborn, at 3 months and now 6 months. He is so advanced for his age and is sitting like a pro and wanting to start walking! By 9 months Turok is going to be standing on his own-what a strong and dedicated little dude! I was so excited to do be able to use not only the studio in our new house but also the back yard and rock wall for his session! He looked like he was right in the midst of the jungle in his lion costume with all his animal buddies around him. I loved that Heather and Eddie brought a fun concept to this session! Thanks for another great shoot guys! :)
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! :)
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. Don't forget to check out Jessica's blog here: www.thenovicechefblog.com
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!
What a sweet and loving family this is!!! I am so happy that we finally were able to schedule a session after months of talking and planning :) I am happy to have met this wonderful crew. It was absolutely freezing outside but these kids hung in there! Little Miss was just amazing....she posed her little booty off and didn't stop smiling for the whole session. I was incredibly impressed with not only her smiling abilities, but also her kindness to me and her little brother. And we can certainly thank the Heavens for a beautiful sky and sunset!
Skylar is ONE!! We have photographed this gorgeous little angel many times over the past year. We had the privilage of shooting her newborn photos, 6 month, 9 month {with her siblings!} and one year photos! She is just {absolutely stunning} and it has been so great watching her grow throughout her first year of life. I can remember sitting in front of a heater with her last year as we got her ready for her newborn session-this year I had to crawl around on the floor chasing her as she explored and scooted around the set. Amazing :) Skylar was a little afraid of the cake at first...Lauren and I had to force her to try it before she realized, "Hey, this is sugar!!" I'm so happy to be sharing C. R Newman Photography's very first "cake smash" session-we couldn't have been given a more beautiful model!
Its always a unique experience being able to photograph your own family, and these four are no strangers to being in front of my camera! Clint and I have had the privilege of photographing Shelby, Brian, Colt and Brantley numerous times over the past few years. From Christmas pictures and family portraits, to newborn and one-year-old sessions...we've been a part of it all!! For this session, they decked themselves out in flannel and kicked off their shoes for a lake front photo shoot! The cool fall air had decided to turn the leaves on the property from green to yellow and red-I love the look of cool autumn air in these images! We love you guys!
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!
Oh, my Isabella :) I just love her so much!!! I am beyond thrilled to have my niece back in Florida so I can squeeze her, love her, and take beautiful pictures of her!! My sister brought this brilliant and adorable idea to me to shoot Bella reading her favorite books in an open field for her three-year-old photo shoot. And I gotta admit, I'm mighty jealous of her wardrobe styling-how amazing is that head band!? Bella did so great in the field despite the grass being incredibly pokey and itchy (for all of us)! I love how these photos turned out :)
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!
Its been quite some time since we shot at the beach (and we live in Florida!?)...so its always fun to experience beautiful sunsets, the sound of the waves, oh-and the massive storms that like to hit the coast every evening during the summer! After waiting out a thunderstorm in the car for the first 45min of our session, we were finally able to brave the beach as the wind did wonderful things to these girls hair ;) haha! As the night progressed, we noticed that it was getting calmer out and the sky was beginning to part. By the end of our session the sky had completed erupted in gorgeous orange, yellow and red as the sun sank down into the horizon. We never would have guessed that we would capture a sunset so beautiful given the conditions when we started..but hey, thats the joy of being a photographer! Sometimes you never know what will lie ahead of you-its the special moments like these that really make it all worth it. Besides the beauty of our world, the beauty of these little girls is undeniable! Big brown eyes, full lips and gorgeous tan skin- Summer and Frank did a great job :)
Goodness gracious-I can't believe it!! Our nephew just turned O.N.E!!! Wasn't he just born!?! It is amazing how time files! When Shelby told me that she had the perfect outfit (consisting of a Wrangler diaper cover) picked out, I knew that Brantley was going to look beyond adorable! And he certainly was, even though he refuses to look directly at us for his picture! ;) We even got to play with some awesome animals!! Love this little man <3
Look at these two little dancing stars!!!!! First, my little munchkin :) This is Isabella, my adorable three year old niece who just moved back to Florida after spending the past year in UTAH! I am beyond excited to have her back in my arms :) Bella and my sister made the loooong (week long) drive from Utah to Florida and their first stop was our home! We went to the beach and played in the sand and water, goofed off at the house, and then had a fun photo shoot in our new in-house studio. Bella was so great in front of the camera, doing everything Clint and I asked her to do. Typically kids have the "camera curse," immediately stiffening up or crying when in front of the camera and bright lights but Bella was a real super star! Just look how stinkin' cute she is- a natural! Next, meet Tristen....from the Brooksville dance academy! She was just so sweet, and had a very sweet moms as well! She is going to be an amazing shining star at her recital in a couple of weeks!
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!
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!
I cannot say enough wonderful things about this family. They have so much energy and joy and it is just absolutely contagious! I have received the pleasure of spending time with the Evans family lately as a nanny for their oldest daughter, Emma. When they asked us to do their family photos this year I was both thrilled and a bit nervous! We really had to knock it out of the park with this one or I would have some awkward work days (just kidding, ha ha!). In the days leading up to their session, Emma and I talked about the shoot quite a bit, picked out outfits for her to wear, and discussed poses and even did runway walks (she wants to be a model)! It was a ton of fun! I am so happy with the portraits that we got of the girls; their true essence is captured wonderfully.
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!? :)
