    About the Artist:
    My style is relaxed. For children, I want you to look at a picture from one of our sessions and remember all the stages of their uniqueness, even when they are too big for you to choose their outfits, comb the "rat's nests" out of their hair (complete with princess rats, mommy rats, and daddy rats, according to my daughters), or let you chauffeur them around town because, amazingly, they can drive themselves. For new mothers and couples getting married, I want you to remember that expectant happiness, that knowledge that you're entering a new stage of your life, and you can't wait.

    I look forward to meeting you and capturing memories with you.

    -Katherine Espano

One year | Jacksonville family photographer

I was scanning through some of my recent posts and realized I haven’t yet blogged Miss P’s one-year portraits from before the new year. I couldn’t let this cute baby face slip by, so here are the pictures. It’s always a pleasure working with the C family and watching P grow.

I love this traditional Indian outfit she’s wearing. Isn’t it gorgeous?

They brought their dog this time, and she’s so sweet. It’s easy to tell she’s a dog that’s good with babies.

The wonder of cake…:)

Morning fun | Jacksonville family photographer

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday and New Year! I’m catching up on blogging a few sessions from before the holidays. This family is so sweet and and full of happy energy. I photographed little P for his newborn portraits, and it was fun to see how much he’s grown. He’s quite the little boy now.

This was a mini session, but we were able to squeeze in a couple pictures of miss A at the end. Look at those beautiful eyes and smile!

I photographed little M for his newborn portraits (and before that, maternity pictures), and I couldn’t believe it was already time for his one-year portraits. The year has gone by so fast. Our first attempt at the session was thwarted by fierce winds, but it was a gorgeous day when we successfully met up at the beach in Ponte Vedra. The T family is always a lot of fun, and I had a great time with them. M is such a cute little boy and already full of personality.

I love the light here, and how he’s so interested in the starfish. The world is such a magical place at this age.


These are the kinds of moments to look back on and smile.





Before moving to this area, I didn’t really think much about the beach amazingly enough. But now that I’ve lived here for so many years, I realize how lucky we are. This picture is what living near the beach is all about.

Baby at 6 months | Jacksonville family photographer

I photographed sweet Miss S as a newborn, and it was a pleasure to see how much she’s grown for her 6-month portraits. We were rained out of the session right after we finished the family pictures, but when we met on a different day to finish the individual portraits of S, the weather was perfect. N family, it was great seeing you all again!

I love the dreamy light in this one, and S is so serene.

Look at those lovely eyes.

S’s mom knows just the game to make her little one laugh.

Her tongue is so adorable!

Florida driftwood | Jacksonville family photographer

The H family wanted beach portraits, but something a little out of the ordinary. This beach has such character and beauty, and was the perfect choice for them. The H family is full of warmth and adventure, and I had a great time exploring this nook of beach with them.

In this image, I love how his arms mimic the shape of the branches, and how he’s just having fun and being himself.

This child has the spirit of adventure in her. Before bringing the girl over to the driftwood for her portraits, I asked her mother if her daughter minded bugs and warned her they were “large.” The bugs scurried away, and after a little coaxing, Miss E ventured on the branch. My own girls would have run screaming. They can’t even stand the sight of ants. Not only did this girl agree to be on the driftwood, but she also gave the sweetest smiles. Later, her mother told me in an aside that I hadn’t been kidding about the big bugs. They’re not the kind we see everyday, that’s for sure!

This image is just right for a black and white.

This picture says it all for family.
