This sweet family of five recently brought me their new addition Clara for her newborn photography sessions. She joined their family just before Christmas and what an absolutely precious gift! I don’t think I have ever seen a prouder big brother or sister and sibling photos with this crew were a dream! Here are a few favorites from their Traditional Newborn session at the Sweet Serendipity studio.

Cake Smash Photography in Gainesville, FL :: Everly | One Year

Jaime — Sun, 31 Jan 2021 00:55:03 +0000

Everly’s Custom Cake smash session at the Sweet Serendipity studio was everything that I could have dreamed of. Not only is she a gorgeous baby but she LOVED making a mess of her cake! (See photo evidence below!)

We started with some photos of her family outdoors in the picturesque Haile Village Center, then headed inside the studio for her smash cake session. I just love when families upgrade to a Custom Cake Smash session and allow me to get creative with the decor. Everly’s family chose an off-white backdrop and a palette of light pinks, peach and ivory for her balloon arch by Sweet Serendipity Photography. Sandy Sweets provided the cake complete with the flower toppers.

Newborn Mini Sessions- Gavin :: Simply Swaddled Session

Jaime — Tue, 17 Mar 2020 15:58:00 +0000

The addition of the Simply Swaddled by Sweet Serendipity newborn mini session has brought so many adorable “older” babies into the studio for a newborn portrait session. I have been amazed at just how many fun facial expressions I have been able to capture during these mini sessions! Most babies are awake at the beginning of the session and then drift off to sleep once swaddled for a variety of images in this short session. Here are just a few of many favorites from Gavin’s session. He was right around the one month mark during his Simply Swaddled session.

Jaime Swanson is the photographer and owner of Sweet Serendipity Photography. Jaime is a mother of four and has been photographing newborns in the North Central Florida area for over twelve years.
