Sophie ~ 2018 Senior

Published on March 14, 2017March 14, 2017 by jennifer Rupprecht PhotographyLeave a comment

I want to introduce everyone to Sophie. She is a current senior majoring in Creative Writing at Osceola County School for the Arts. She is very fascinated with people’s stories and love to write. Her favorite types of writing are memoirs and creative fiction. I find this very cool. She is a girl after my own heart. I love telling a story with a camera and she loves writing the stories down. She is hoping for a career in the medical field and hopes to study at Vanderbilt University. She loves to do competitive speech and debate, writing and art, which might give you insight to our locations for her shoot. She also loves to drive her car.

For Sophie’s session she said that she likes going to the Orlando Art Museum so it was on our list. Then she found some street art in Orlando that we decided to check out. I had her bring her notebook that she likes to write in with her since creative writing is what she is majoring in at Osceola County School for the Arts. While we were taking pictures around some of the street art we found around town she said she also loves coffee shops. So last minute we decided to stop by a little coffee shop called Market on South! It was such a cute little coffee shop where they have lots of plants and herbs growing outside. It was a fun place to sit down and learn things about Sophie and finding how much she really loves her little sister who is 5 years old and how alike her sister is with my daughter. We then headed over to the Art museum and the Museum of American Art. Over all a very fun afternoon! Thank you Sophie for allowing me to do your pictures.

Valentine’s Day Mini Sessions

Published on February 6, 2017 by jennifer Rupprecht PhotographyLeave a comment

First off I want to start out by saying that you to the Mann Family, the Wright Family, and the Schunk Family for participating in my first mini session of the year! I had so much fun with this session from finding and coming up with cute ideas for the set up to the actual day and getting to hang out with these beautiful girls and boy (thank you Lucas)!!

The day ended up being a beautiful Florida day. A little windy at times but nothing we couldn’t work with. I had so much fun meeting Evelyn and her mom Lisa. Evelyn was a natural in front of the camera and we were able to just have so much fun. I love when I do sessions hearing the stories and learning a little bit about everyone I am photographing. Evelyn happens to be the youngest of 3 kids she has an older brother and sister and I can only imagine the fun they have together if they have half the fun we had together!!

Next up was the Wright kiddos, Addy and Lucas! These 2 are just the cutest Addy is 3 and Lucas is 8 months. I had such a blast with them Addy is such a sweet big sister and we were even able to get a smile out of Lucas. Back story on him and his smile he is always smiling all the time. When ever I see this boy he is always smiling well on Saturday he decided to play shy in front of the camera it took him a few minutes then we got the smiles out of him that we all know and love. Thank you Addy and Lucas for being such good sports in front of the camera I love watching you grow up!

And last but not least we have Julie! She is just to sweet she is also 3 and just loves to have fun. She would much rather being running around having a good time and playing with bubbles then standing or sitting in one spot which I love. She made me work and it was a fun type of work so thank you Julia. I also want to give a quick shout out to her mama Nicole who made the banners for my Mini Session! She runs PaperPuff Design and does a wonderful job I haven’t been disappointed yet. If you are looking for banners or cake toppers check her out!!

So Julie, Addy, and my daughter Taylor are also friends and so while they were all three together we were able to capture a couple of cute pictures of the girls!!

BFY Colton Turns 1

HAPPY 1ST BIRTHDAY Colton James. It is so hard to believe that you are 1 already. I might be a little bias because you are my nephew but you have turned into such a handsome little boy!!! When I did your newborn pictures a year ago you were such a sweet model for me.

We had so much fun shooting your 1 year pictures. Your momma had lots of outfits and hats even though you did not want to wear your hats I was able to capture some before you got them off. We had so much fun doing your cake smash and bath pictures were so fun. You weren’t so sure about the cake smash and you are just like your mother you made very little mess. Thank you to your mom for letting me use you as my model for my Baby First Year Session!!!!

BFY Steven Turns 9 Months

Published on January 26, 2017January 30, 2017 by jennifer Rupprecht PhotographyLeave a comment

It is hard to believe that Steven is 9 months old already but we got together the day after Christmas to document this major milestone in the first year of his life! I love working with the Sherer family they volunteered to help me out in June when I was doing 4th of July themed mini sessions! Linda asked if we could do an updated family photo this session for her wall and it was fun to look back at how much the Sherer family has grown but also how much I have grown in the last 6 months.

Steven has also grown so much in the last 6 months! He is all over the place which is always so fun to watch. He loves the grass and as much as we tried to get him to look at me he just really wanted to play with the grass…don’t worry Linda the struggle is real. When we did my daughters one year shoot she was more into eating the grass then she was into trying the cake. I can’t wait to shoot Steven’s one year shoot and I hope that I get to continue helping capture this fun family as they grow!!!

I also want to give a quick shout out to PaperPuff Designs for the monster banner she always makes great and quality banners for me!!! If you are interested in hiring her she is on Etsy!!!!

Lucas’ Baptism

Published on January 25, 2017January 24, 2017 by jennifer Rupprecht PhotographyLeave a comment

I was so honored and blessed when my friend Maria asked if I would photograph her son’s baptism. I said yes and I was excited and yet nervous all at the same time because I didn’t want to miss anything for her and I know how hard it is you want pictures as a parent but it is hard to do when you are part of the ceremony. I had a so much fun and felt truly blessed to witness a church family excepting a little one into their family saying that they would help raise him to know the lord.

This just so happen to be the week right before Christmas so they did a manger scene that they asked the Wright family to be a part of so I was happy to capture some of those moments along with some group shots after wards down by the lake next to Asbury United Methodist Church in Maitland Florida. Thank you again Maria your family is truly blessed and I am so blessed that you have been put in my families life!

Curry Family Mini

I have to quickly say that the Hensel Phelps company is a wonderful company and I am so happy that my husband and our family gets to be a part of this wonderful company and family. Here is another Hensel Phelps family and what a sweet family they were. Their girls Elana and Emma were just the cutest. I have learned with my two that this age is the hardest to get everyone to look in the same direction at the same time, but the girls did a wonderful job.

We headed out to Twin Oaks Conservation area, Inedelmis asked about a Christmas setting, so I brought some ornaments and we were able to find a little pine tree to hang them and on and I think it made for a great back drop and the girls loved playing with the ornaments. This was a little later in the morning so the sun was kind of harsh and not a lot of shade at this park but I think that we were able to get some great pictures anyways. Thank you again Curry family for letting me work for you and hope that I get to work for you more in the future!

Barrett Family Mini

How cute is this family of 3. As usual I always love to meet new families. The Barrett family is another wonderful Hensel Phelps family. I always feel like when I come across a HP family I feel like we could be come instant friends because they know exactly what life is like especially one who is on the same project as my husband.

For the Barrett’s mini session we went up to Lake Baldwin Park which was the perfect setting for this family session. Logan was just the cutest and he worked for M&M’s ssshhh don’t tell Logan but I sometimes work for M&Ms too! We had fun seeing the airplanes flying over head and check to see if there were any alligators in the water. We had so much fun getting some great shots of this family and I hope to get to work with them again in the future.

Dillman Holiday Mini

So I have been a little behind on blogging with the Holiday’s. The Holiday’s kind of swept in really quick and with sessions and family time we got super busy, but now that the holiday’s and travel are done for a bit it is time to catch up on the blog.

We will start out with the Dillman family. Jacqueline Dillman and her son Ryan along with her Dad met up at to do some fall pictures. Ryan is a spit fire which isn’t a bad thing. He was on the go and loving playing in the dirt and the leaves just like any little boy wants to do. We were able to get some good pictures. He especially liked when we would have him run. Jacqueline is pregnant with her rainbow baby so we thought it would be fun to also get some fun pictures with her and Ryan. Over all I say with a 2-year-old it was a success!

BFY Colton 9 Months

Wow little boy you need to slow down it is hard to believe that you are 9 months almost 10 months already. You are getting way to big way to fast I love getting to watch you grow up. The fact that we are closer is making it even better. Colton is another little one that I have gotten to take pictures of since he was a newborn. Both of us have grown so much in the last 9 months and still have a lot of growing yet to do. It is hard to believe the next time I photograph him, he will be a year which is crazy to me. He is one of the most handsome boys I know but I might be a little biases since he is my nephew.

We decided to try some pictures in side with a rocker that is my parents and I believe came from one of my grandparents houses I believe my moms parents. Anyways my parents have a beautiful fireplace so it worked perfect for the setting. We then headed out because it was a beautiful warm November day. The leave have started to change colors and fall so it was the perfect fall setting and Colton loved just crawling every where. I am sad your first year is almost over but we have all enjoyed every minute of it so far!

Smith Family Kiddos

Published on November 27, 2016November 27, 2016 by jennifer Rupprecht PhotographyLeave a comment

So I took a trip home to Indiana a couple of weeks ago and it was such a wonderful trip full of a lot of cute kiddos and fun colors. Since I knew that I was going to be home I decided to see if anyone wanted to do pictures while I was there because I knew it would be perfect with all the colors and Theresa volunteered her kids. I tried getting the whole family in front of the camera but no such luck. They have the best kids around there are 7 of them, Madison, Mackenzie, Jackson, William, Alex, Hayden, and we can’t forget little Isabela! I have know there mommy since High School she was a thrower on the Track Team my dad was the head coach for and then for a year we were on the same team when I was a freshman and she was a Senior. That was the year we were really good probably because of the awesome Freshman class ;).

We did our mini session over at the home of Abraham Lincoln, Lincoln Boyhood National Park. I love go on walks there! There is even a working farm during the summer season. The leaves were perfect. They changed colors just as I had asked them too and many had fallen on the ground just as I had asked them to lol so thank you trees for following directions. The session was perfect and the kids did awesome and I heard there was Ice Cream after! Here are a few of the shots from their beautiful fall session. Enjoy and thank you Smith kids for hanging out with me!
