From "I Do" to Baby No. 2 – Amanda + Mike’s Sunset Family Session at Fort Zachary

Some stories come full circle in the most beautiful way.
I had the absolute joy of photographing Amanda + Mike’s wedding back in 2017, and this month, I got to see their love story evolve yet again—this time during a family session at Fort Zachary Taylor Historic State Park. Now a sweet family of three (with little Ava leading the way), they’re getting ready to welcome baby number two into their lives. And the best part? The gender is still a surprise!
As a Key West photographer, there’s something incredibly special about reconnecting with past couples—especially during such meaningful life chapters. This Key West pregnancy and family session was soaked in that golden Key West glow, made even more magical by a soft reopening at Fort Zach that meant we practically had the entire place to ourselves. No crowds, just laughter, love, and soft ocean breezes.
Ava was full of energy and curiosity, running through the sandy trails and cuddling close with her mom and dad as the sun dipped lower into the horizon. You could feel the warmth between them—the kind of love that grows deeper with time. Capturing moments like these is why I became a Key West wedding photographer in the first place. It’s not just about the wedding day. It’s about the chapters that follow.
This session was filled with tender belly kisses, barefoot walks, and a glowing mama-to-be wrapped in soft light and love. Amanda radiated grace and strength, while Mike beamed with pride as he held his girls close.
If you’re planning a family session in Key West, or looking for a Key West photographer who can capture not only your milestones but the quiet in-between moments—I'm here for it all. From “I do” to “we’re expecting,” I’m honored to document every step.
