Welcome to the World Baby Beckett – Gainesville, Fl Birth Photography

01.17.16

There are many memorable days and moments in my career that are absolutely amazing and this day was no exception. It is such an honor to be invited into such private moments to capture some of the most special times in a person’s life.

I was so excited when I got the call last week from Beckett’s Mom letting me know that he was coming and coming soon. There is something to be said about waiting to get that call to rush to the hospital when a mother goes into labor.

On Friday morning (1/15/16), I got that call (or rather text. haha) so, off to North Florida Regional in Gainesville, Fl I went. I arrived about 10 minutes after Amber (Mom) and baby B’s 3 Big Sisters. From the moment I walked in the room and met them all, I knew that he was a lucky little boy. 3 excited sisters and one absolutely Beautiful and strong Mommy. His whole story is amazing.

After many hours, with Beckett taking his sweet time (We figure he was waiting for Dr. Amy Million to come on shift so he can be born with the same ob as all of his Big Sisters. haha) he arrived. I will never forget his sweet voice with that first cry that comes from his first breaths of life. There is nothing else like witnessing a baby being born. Mr. Beckett weighed in at 7 lbs 3 oz and 20 inches long with fuzzy blond hair. Mommy and big sisters are absolutely in love. I think you’ll agree as you can see the love in these images. Please enjoy.

A gift for him or a gift for you? Glamour and Boudoir Photographer

01.06.16

Valentine’s Day is only a month away!! Have you figured out what to give your significant other? Or just simply want a day of pampering and fun with some glamorous images of yourself? Who says you can’t? Well, this is the perfect time to take advantage of this deal! Half the price of a full session making it sooo affordable!

Our goal for these sessions are to show you just how beautiful you are and to capture this special moment in time for you. You can choose between classy boudoir or glamour images or a mixture of both.

The sessions will be held in a beautiful suite in Lake City, Fl. When you first arrive, you’ll talk to our hair and makeup artists about the kind of look you’d like (as little or as much makeup as you like!) and then they’ll get to work. Once they’ve glamified you, we’ll begin shooting your fabulous images! After the shoot is over, make a night of it now that you’re all dolled up…. go out on a date with that special someone or have a night on the town with your girlfriends and listen to them all compliment you! Or even better… have you and your girls book time slots back to back and get ready together and boost each other up through your sessions.

Each session will include Full Hair & Makeup (by Jessica Johnson of Roots Hair Studio), Wardrobe Consultaion if you like, 1 Mini Accordion Album (You can see an example here) and 6 images of your choice from the session with print rights up to 8″x12″. If you’d like to purchase any additional images at your image selection appointment, they are $15 per additional image to cover the extra editing time.

These slots are limited and first come first serve requiring a $75 reservation fee to book your time (which goes towards your session cost). Contact Esta at esta@capturedmemoriesbyesta.com or call (386) 623-0111

Not in a rush to get your images by Valentines but, think you and your girls would love to schedule another day. We’ll be happy to offer the same offer in the future. Can be between 5-7 women in your party.

*I respect women’s privacy. Therefore Boudoir images are not shared publicly. Your images are your own and you can dictate what I can and can not use if you would like to allow any images used for my marketing purposes. These are for your eyes only unless you say otherwise.

**This bulk pricing offer good for this January 17-18, 2016 Boudoir Marathon only.

Alex & Kali – Couples Photographer – Lake City, Fl

12.14.15

In case you’ve noticed, this blog post has the same girl in it. This is the second half of our session that day with these two lovebirds, Alex & Kali. I just can’t get over how adorable they are together. We went from this random spot on the side of the road (where some may have seen us since it’s a busy road to his grandparents house for all that beautiful holiday fun.) I had to share their half too… how could I not? I’m so in love with how they turned out! Please enjoy some of their favorite images from their session.

Baby Harper – 6 months old – Lake City, Fl Children’s Photographer

11.09.15

Miss Harper just turned 6 months and what better way to celebrate the moment than capturing her adorable self and making sure to create beautiful memories! 😉 I couldn’t wait to share these with you now that they are ready to go to their new home.

As a backstory, in a couple images, you will see her with an awesome vintage typewriter and camera. These are special heirlooms… items that were her late great and great great grandpa’s. Her Mommy and Daddy wanted to add some pieces of them to make sure a part of them was with her. <3

Also, you’ll see her with the American Flag and some of her families military items. This baby comes from a long line of family members including her parents who have served our country. I was honored to be able to make these images a reality for them. Thank you to all of you who have given so much of yourselves to help keep this country free. There are not enough words to express how thankful I truly am.

Hope you enjoy all of this cuteness as much as I have. <3
