St Augustine Family Photographer | Jacksonville Family Photographer : Felicity is 9
I can not believe today my 5th born child is 9 years old. Felicity Agnes was born at home on this day. I woke up at 3 am feeling 'crampy' and knew this must be the time. I did not wake anyone but got up and walked around. I decided to call my midwife, Sharon, at Fruitful Vine . She had been at birth all night and said she would head my way because my labors were fast.
My midwife arrived around 6:30 am. She told me I was "complete" but left me alone because oddly for me I had not urge to push. I hung out in the tub, then walked and walked the neighborhood.
My other children were all up puking it was so sad to hear them. The sweet birth assistant Tanya was taking care of their needs.
This went on for almost 4 hrs I recall. Then Sharon had me lay on my left side and pull my right leg up ....well that got her in position. I began to feel the urge to push. She was born quickly "facial presentation to the left"She was born at 10:42 am and was 9 pounds 8 oz and 22 1/2 inches long.
Her first year was rough, she was very high needs and colicy. I learned when she was a year she had Sensory Processing Disorder. Anyone with a SPD child knows what I mean I have two actually.
She has always been homeschooled. She is now very active in academy soccer (her thing) locally and just started violin lessons . However this week she fractured her wrist so that is all on hold.
Here is a slide show of various photos from various cameras (not all professional of course)
St Augustine Photographer | Jacksonville Photographer: Surfing At St Augustine Beach
We are so blessed to live in such a beautiful place. My big kids are longing to surf without wetsuits.....Still warmer than most parts of the country today. Yet my younger kids still get in the ocean year round.
I decided upon hearing from my oldest daughter that there was "east swell" to head out with my kids and hopefully take a few surf action photos.
The water is pretty cold right now! But it was a beautiful day and the surf was pretty narly !
St Augustine Photographer |March For Life St Augustine 2015
On January 17, 2015 I participated in the local March for Life and was asked to photograph the event. My family has been helping and participating in the local March for Life St Augustine since it began here in 2007. We are active in our parish at the Cathedral basilica of St Augustine.
The local newspaper used to cover the March however this year not a word !
Same goes for the local news they showed up after it was over at the town square . Reporting s 'low' turn out. As you will see in the 200 plus photos I have posted ( I took over 500) the March was HUGE. Stretching all the way south on San Marco Avenue to the beginning of St George Street all the way north to the Mission grounds, where it began.
I did also include photos of the VERY FEW Pro choice protesters because I believe in honest accurate reports.
We had people from Miami and the panhandle . IT was a peaceful March. Here is the link and also a slideshow.

St Augustine Photographer | Jacksonville Photographer : Ariano Family
This family is always so much fun. I have been blessed to know them for several years now. I met mom at our local Big Latch On in Jacksonville, where I was also photographing the breastfeeding event.
Two years ago I was Doula at Teo's home birth, which I also captured with my camera. Since then I have taken photos for birthdays and even her parents photos.
This was a dreary, drizzling day in St Augustine, but we still managed to get some great photos. Even though the winds by the water really picked up.
