Colton Turns 6 Months

Published on by jennifer Rupprecht PhotographyLeave a comment

It is hard to believe that this little man turned 6 Months.  It seems like just yesterday I was meeting him for the first time.

Colton is the youngest of 4 kids.  He has two wonderful parents and I think that he looks a little like both of them.  While in Indiana Colton and his family (who happen to be my sister, nieces, and nephew) were visiting his Grandparents who live out in the middle of nowhere.  It made for the perfect background for some 6 months pictures.  He still isn’t really sitting on his own but that didn’t stop us from being able to get some super cute pictures.  This little boy has the best smile and the prettiest eyes I just can never get enough of him!  I hope that you enjoy him as much as I do!!!

Welcome Baby Talia

Published on by jennifer Rupprecht Photography1 Comment

Welcome to the world baby Talia!  This little girl is just so beautiful I could not get enough of her.  She is just so tiny and sweet.  Talia was 10 days new when I captured her.  Her tiny little hands and feet made me kind of miss those days.

I went to their home up in Lake Nona and they had a perfect window that let in enough natural light that we were able to do all the photos in the comfort of their home.  Talia was perfect when it came to letting me play with her.  She slept for most of her shoot even when her big brother came in and wanted to play.  She has so much love around her with her parents and brother.

Talia has a beautiful caterpillar that her parents got her from Israel that has the alphabet on it.  Before coming to Orlando Rosy, her husband Deen, and son Kaiden lived for 2 years abroad in Israel where her husband was working on a project at an Intel plant.  They found out they were pregnant while still over there so they wanted their newest member to have a keepsake from there.  I think this is perfect one that she will have forever.

Welcome Baby Lucas

Please welcome baby Lucas who was born on June 6th.  He was welcomed into this world by mom Maria, dad Steven, and big sister Addy.  You can already tell at just 1 month old this little boy is very loved by a lot of people.

I met Maria around April at a playdate I was very new to town and I was running way late and she stayed and hung out for a while and our girls got to know each other.  Theybecame quick friends and now my daughter Taylor always ask when she is going to see her friend Addy again.  I hope that our sons will also become close friends as they grow older.

I went over to Maria and Steven’s house to do the newborn pictures and they had a nice bright little bedroom in the front of the house perfect for natural light pictures.   We tried to sneak a few pictures in outside while the sun was behind what we thought was rain clouds, but just as we got outside and started snapping pictures the sun came out and made it just unbelievable hot.  We successfully got some in but we were able to grab some real beauties once we moved inside.  Since Lucas was almost 1 month old at the time of pictures he was  awake the whole time.  Can you blame him though he didn’t want to miss out on the party.

We were able to grab some great shots of him with his big sister Addy who just loves her little brother to death.  I heard a lot of can I hold him, yep that line sounds very familiar to me I heard it a lot with my own daughter.  Addy loved to give hugs (or as I always put it choke holds) to her brother and lots and lots of kisses.  You can already tell these two are going to have so much fun growing up together.

The love between a mother and son!
Sibling bond is everlasting
Daddy’s arms are the best place to rest.

July 4th Mini Sessions

Published on by jennifer Rupprecht PhotographyLeave a comment

So we have been living in St. Cloud for about 4 months now and I have already gotten to know some wonderful people.  I decided that I would like to try doing some mini sessions for some of the families that I had met.  I didn’t know if any of them would actually say yes or think I was just some crazy person.  But to my surprise and excitement they said did say yes.  So I decided to set up a couple of different settings in my backyard with an Independence Day theme, because I have a old wooden fence that I actually kind of like.  (if it wasn’t falling over I would beg for my husband to keep it)  While doing these session I found out that it gets very hot and humid very early in Florida but for the most part the kids did great!

 

Ready for Baby Number 2

Published on by jennifer Rupprecht PhotographyLeave a comment

I had the pleasure of knowing Rosy for a few years now.  We met when we both lived in Chandler Arizona, our husbands both work for the same company Hensel Phelps.  For two years we both lived literally in two different countries.  Rosy, Dean, and their son Kaiden moved to Israel, while my husband, myself, and our daughter moved to California.  Rosy and I kept in touch the whole time and when she announced that she was expecting baby number 2 I  couldn’t be more excited for her.  Then I found out we would both be relocating to Orlando Florida!  We were excited to be back together again.

Starting up this Photography business has been in the works for a while and I thought who better to be a model for a maternity session then Rosy and her family.  She looks so good right now and is patiently waiting for her daughter to arrive.

I found this beautiful location close to home called Chisholm Regional Park.  It is a beautiful wooded park with moss hanging from the trees.  I am a sucker for moss hanging from the trees I just love that look.  It is also located on a lake and so it gives you that beach ocean side feel if you want, a woodsy feel, or even a wide open field.  Just so much to choose from.  We were able to capture some beautiful pictures with my favorite being of their son Kaiden taking their picture he is a pro already.

Kian and Elle

I met Kian and Elle (well maybe it was just Kian at first) through their mommy Kristin.  Kristin is a mom I met in Castro Valley, California.  Just like my friend Leslie, Kristin and I quickly became good friends.  We were able to vent to each other and exchange war stories when it came to our kids.  It’s always nice to know you are not alone in this thing called parenting.

Kristin was wanting to try and get some headshots of her daughter Elle.  Well after quickly realizing Elle was not going to sit down and smile at the camera for me, lol, I started chasing her around in her environment.  Luck for us I was able to get some of her looking at the camera.  This was only my second photo shoot and so I am still very green with these photos but I think I got a few good ones.  Oh and we can’t forget big brother Kian he wanted in on the photo shoot as well.  Thank you Kristin for letting me come over and spend sometime capturing Ella and Kian!

Elle has such beautiful red hair I absolutely love it!
Kian is always full of such wonderful energy, and look at those curls!

The Foster Family

I had asked my friend Leslie if I could use her family as models and I am so glad that she said yes.  I met Leslie and her family 2 years ago, a couple of months after my husband and I moved our little family from Phoenix, Arizona to Castro Valley, California.  At the time I did not think it was a great move but after meeting Leslie and a few other moms I soon realized it was a great idea.  Leslie’s son Grant and my daughter Taylor just like their momma’s became instant friends.

Leslie and her husband Jon are realtors and run their own business and after the birth of their daughter Nora, needed an updated family picture.  Which I was happy to help them with.

Thank you Leslie, Jon, Grant, and Nora for not only being patient models for a green Photographer but for also be such wonderful Friends to my family  and myself.  We miss you all dearly.

 

First blog post

So I was blessed to be gifted a new camera at Christmas and was so excited I couldn’t wait to put it to use.  I have always been in to taking photos especially once my children were born.  I spent 10 years working in Television in the news business.  During that time I was able to become a Multimedia Journalist and I got the opportunity to tell many different types of stories.  My favorite were always the ones that told someone’s personal story of either heartbreak or triumph.  I found that I truly loved being a storyteller.  Well when my daughter was born I decided to become a stay at home mom but I never lost interest in listening to other people’s stories.  Once I got this camera I thought how cool would it be to help document other people’s stories or milestones just as I was doing with my own family.  So I decided to do this photography business as a side to help keep me a little busier then I am already.   I hope that you would entrust me tell your story.  Thank you for taking some time to read about me.
