Lena Hyde Photography: The Studio Journal » Baby and Children's Portrait Photographer, Palm Beach, Florida

I photographed these rockstars brothers today at CityPlace, and they were the best! Mom and dad came and helped out so much to get those “real” smiles and to make the shoot super fun for us. Such a cool family~

I have way too many favorites of these stunning twins and their little sister…they were a dream to work with too, so happy and easy going. With those qualities and their mama’s great sense of style, a successful shoot is pretty much guaranteed. Thank you, awesome B. family!

I haven’t seen Evie and Wade since last year and wow, they are SO big and adorable! I have been shooting these twins since they were teeny and I enjoy seeing them grow and change, while always remaining connected to each other. This time, their personalities were quite unmistakeable and I think it shows in the images…I can’t wait to see them again next time!

I am so happy this little man came by the studio for portraits. Four months old is such a fun age and I do not see many babies between newborn and six months, so I enjoyed our time together. Lawson is a very fun guy….I have the silliest photo of him, but I am waiting to post that one because I want his mama to be the first to see it. I will share it here soon ….

Two more girls who I have been photographing since they were newborns, Christina and Allison are pretty used to me by now. I love how Christina always calls me “Lena Hyde” when we talk…she says, “Hey, Lena Hyde! Do you want to go outside?” or “Come see my room, Lena Hyde!” Her mom says she even does that when I am not there, when they talk about the photos on the walls…so funny!

Forgive my absence from the blog. I have been traveling and shooting like mad for the past week. It’s that time of year…

I had two shoots with these cousins…back to back with a few in between! I have worked with Miss Stella before when she was tiny, and today she showed me some of her walking abilities. Love how the big boys are so sweet with her!

I cannot remember the last time I had an only child shoot, what a snap! I always love working with Kyle…he is such a sweet little boy and so laid back. This time, we had to work around the rain showers…lucky for us we were able to get a ton of great shots around the neighborhood, which has the most spectacular old oak trees shading the road.
