meet the willcoxon’s…

October 7 2011

Ok this blog post has been a long time coming. If you’ve been coming to my blog since June of 2008 you might remember Jaimee and Sean from their blog debut. Well, you might remember them from their behind the scenes video we did from their wedding. It was probably one of my most watched videos of all time with almost 7,000 views!! Everywhere I go I swear someone comes up to me and tells me how great a job we did shooting their wedding or how much they loved their wedding. Lastly chances are if you’re a Mazzone bride/groom (especially Saratoga National) you’ve crossed paths with Sean since he’s the big man on the Mazzone compound(s). Anyway, I can’t tell you how happy I was when Jaimee and Sean asked me to photograph their family! I’ve been itching to capture and blog about them for a while now! Their first child Sean David just turned one and this is the first time I got to meet him other than following Jaimee’s facebook of course. He’s super handsome and has mad style! Their newest is the adorable 2 week old little baby girl Penelope. I’m sure the stylish Jaimee is going to have a blast dressing little Penelope for a long time! They have a perfect and beautiful family and I’m honored to have been asked back to capture it. Jaimee and Sean, thank you for everything. I enjoy photographing you guys. Let’s not wait so long next time ;)

Peace,
JP

June 2008 I posted their engagement session. Just a fun fact but Jaimee and Sean were the first ever “bling shot” you can read about that here.

Then in April of 2009 they tied the knot and also set the bar high for Hall of Springs weddings that followed.. You can see that here.

Now 2 plus years later I present the Willcoxon’s

Sean David is a handsome little guy..

All they do is smile..

Little Miss Penelope!

love this guy.

We all know where he gets his spikes from ;)

How precious?

I think big brother is happy to have a lil sis!

Keep smiling… your family is beautiful.

a couple more.

I’ll end with this super cute image!!

    Awwwww the last one is adorable!!! Totally like “mommmmm… I don’t want to anymore!”
    It’s hard being that cute huh James? I agree, his style is adorable. Nice work mom :)
    Beautiful hair and eyes too. The first pic is like “WHY am I being pulled over officer???”
    Yay! Enjoy your little man!

  2. Tara (09.26.11) 

    Too cute! I love the varying facial expressions. I am not sure which I like better him sitting on the side rail of the car with his “Yes, I AM the man” expession or the last “Get out of my fac, I am done with you” expression.

  3. Aimee (09.26.11) 

    For all the parents wondering how to get their kid so stylin’, I can definitely tell you the shirt and vest are from babyGap, seeing as I work there lol. Great pics, kid is adorable!

  4. marianne (09.26.11) 

    That is one gorgeous baby, so stinkin’ cute. I love the curly hair and those eyes, just beautiful! Enjoy this time with him, it goes by so fast.

  5. Theresa (09.26.11) 

    Were any of these pic’s used in an advertisement for “baby gap’ ? Well, they should be ! He’s so sweet and has great “style’ . Beautiful .

September 9 2011

Where do I start here? Well our relationship with Dania and John goes way back to 2003. I believe that was the year we did their engagement photos. Then what came next? Duh, the wedding. October 1st 2004 these two tied the knot and we were there. After the wedding Dania and John always kept in touch. I’d usually email with Dania a couple times a year. Cut to the summer of 2008 Dania wanted me to capture their family. I think their daughter Kennedy was just around a year at that time. In the meanwhile Dania was always a fan of photography and I recommended a camera and lens for John to get her as a gift. That’s when it all started for Dania, she realized she loved photography and thats what she wanted to do. I think I have that all right. After that Kidography by Dania was born. So Dania’s thing is kids, babies, families and maternity stuff. I’m a fan of her work and you should be too. I refer a lot of this type of photography her way that I simply can’t take on because I’m confident she’ll deliver. Anyway Dania and I were having coffee as we do quite often and she mentioned it was time for an updated family session now that McKenna is in the picture and walking. She wanted a sunset session in the field and told me she was into lots of backlight and all that. So after I believe 4 attempts due to weather we finally got it done. I’m thrilled with the images. Their daughters are so cute and photogenic, even if McKenna made me work for it ;) Thanks again to you both! I’m honored you both continue to ask me back to document your lives. It means a lot because I know since 2008 you’ve met and become friends with a lot of other talented people out there. Looking forward to out next coffee date (after wedding season).

Peace,
JP

Oct 1 2004… sorry about the heavy border but I couldn’t find a larger image. I had to dig deep and the high res images are archived in another location. :)

August 2008

We’ll set off with a b&w.. Although I feel this was very much a colorful session..

I love that everyone is doing their own thing…

I teased this one on my facebook I just love the color.

Kennedy..

His girls love him..

Look at McKenna giving me the pffft whatever face!

This might be my fav of them all.. Its just real.

Dania and her bean.

Wardrobe change (for the mini’s)

love her..

I had a few of just the two of them alone but this one made the cut. I assume as a parent there is always something going on in the background. I love that John is watching McKenna over my shoulder and Kennedy decided it was time to dance. Your family is beautiful.

    Sooooooo cute! I totally remember Kennedy, and what a cutie she is as well as McKenna! Love the names!!! Well, now I wasn’t at this shoot, but to say that McKenna made JP work for this makes me laugh because YOU WOULD NOT KNOW it to look at these pics. They’re both smiling, laughing, playing. Beautiful beautiful family!!!!!!! Dania I’m so used to seeing your name on the blog or fb, good to put a name back to the face for one of the blog-all-stars :)

  2. Dania Bagyi (09.9.11) 

    There aren’t enough words to express my thanks for the gift you have given us in these images…the way I feel looking at these is exactly why I went into this business. :)

  3. Joe Elario (09.9.11) 

    funny…. what were two great smiles (pre wed office visit) have become four bigger ones.

  4. JP Elario (09.9.11) 

    thanks girish! it’s all about the angle you catch the light at. it’s something i can’t describe but once i see it in camera i know i got it. i hope that makes sense.

  5. Girish (09.9.11) 

    What great pictures, perfect. Love the kids enjoying their time.
    Gorgeous light there.

    Can you share how do you shoot against light specially in the earlier pictures on this post.

    Do you have a video on it, would be great to see one.

  6. Cara Olsen (09.9.11) 

    Beautiful!

  7. Ashley Brown (09.9.11)
