Sam + Daughters | St. Augustine Family Photographer

Sam is my Fiance's mom's boyfriend. When my future MIL called me about surprising Sam with a session for his girls (who were visiting for Christmas) I was so thrilled! Boy did I get lucky with this beautiful family- When I showed up at his Salt Run property here in St. Augustine, I was met by 3 GORGEOUS girls. Since this was a surprise shoot, they were all scrambling through their suitcases for something to wear besides the flannels and jackets they packed for the trip. After figuring out wardrobe, we headed out to his dock for family photos that were long over due. We laughed, joked, and I even captured a few super-model-like walks as we walked the long dock (I think I died laughing when I saw one in particular, see bottom pic). Such a fun family and perfect weather! Enjoy! xo, -A

Heather + Vinny + Alex | St. Augustine Family Photographer

Heather and I go way back (can't believe it's been 7 years!) to St. Augustine High, so I was excited when she contacted me to do her holiday portraits with her boyfriend Vinny and amazing son, Alex. We met up downtown at the Lightner Museum courtyard amongst the well manicured landscape with thousands of white Christmas lights (that eventually turned on for us).  Alex immediately borrowed some pennies to make a few wishes in the fountain before photos and wished out loud something about the "United States of America......" and I thought that was so cute! He also was loving all the flags in the area wanting to look at them. He's a smart one! We rolled in the grass, wished on pennies, and enjoyed the sights downtown had to offer! Hope you enjoy this fun shoot with this super sweet family. -Xo Ashley

Holiday Mini-Sessions!! | St. Augustine Photographer

I think it's safe to say that ANP's 1st Holiday Mini-Session-marathon was a success!! It was amazing seeing old friends, meeting new ones, and kicking off a good start to the Holiday season :) Below are some of my favorites from the shoots! My next Mini's are this weekend 12/10 & 12/11. I still have a few spots on Sunday, 12/11 if there is any last minute interest! Thank you to all who came out.  Xo -A
