February 25, 2010 – 1:43 pm

In fact, I’m pretty sure Lila (now two) was the same age then as her little brother is now (7 months) when we first met on the beach. This time they traveled all the way from Sarasota for our session together at Centennial Park in downtown Fort Myers. Suffice it to say, by the time they arrived little Lila was ready to go-go-go and that she did! I must remember to thank her for saving me a trip to the gym.  haha :P

Thanks Lila, Andy, Mommy (and of course Grand-Mommy too!) – it was so nice to spend the morning with you all once again. I’m looking forward to showing you all of the lovely Mommy and me moments we captured together real soon!lifexpressions photography family portrait session, fort myers florida, on location photographer, naples beach photographer, naples newborn photography, sibling portraits, sanibel beach portraits

Sneak Peek { Sydney & Sienna } | Naples Family Portraits In The Secret Garden

February 5, 2010 – 4:14 pm

lifeXpressions photography family portraits in the secret gardenToday’s sneak peek features a very special family I’ve had the pleasure of working with for several years now. It’s always such a joy to see them each year and see how much the girls have grown and changed. I know Mom is just on pins and needles waiting to see all the beautiful photos we captured that day so I’m hoping this little sneak peek will tide her over until I get their custom slideshow ready. ;)

Pssst Between you and me…I think she’s going to have a tough time narrowing down her favorites. These are two seriously adorable little ladies!

Sneak Peek { Paxton } | Naples Baby Portraits

January 25, 2010 – 7:50 am

Anyone remember these little guys? Maybe from Austin’s newborn session? Or Mason’s newborn session? Or maybe it was their session last year? Okay, my memory gets bad sometimes too but I’m willing to bet you remember the post I made showcasing their family titled: Prayers for a very special family. It wasn’t more than a few days after their Maternity session last September that their whole world was turned upside down when they learned their unborn child had only half of a heart.lifexpressions photography family portrait session, fort myers florida, on location photographer, naples beach photographer, naples newborn photography, sibling portraits, sanibel beach portraits

To learn more about their incredible journey and the amazing little man I’m about to share with you, you’ll have to hop over to their family blog, The Wild, Wild, Wests. There’s simply no way I can do justice to their story but I will tell you this, having known this family for about four years now I know, without a doubt, that if anyone has the faith, strength, love, and devotion to weather the storm and end up on top it is them!

Without further ado, allow me to introduce Paxton David West…lifexpressions photography family portrait session, fort myers florida, on location photographer, naples beach photographer, naples newborn photography, sibling portraits, sanibel beach portraits

Jaden, Camryn & Taylor | Top-Secret, Undercover, Hush-Hush Family Session at the Secret Garden

January 5, 2010 – 9:11 am

lifeXpressions photography secret garden family portraitsUndercover sessions, could it be I’ve discovered the next big trend in portrait photography? haha Probably not. Mom did warn me prior to the session that Camryn (2 yrs old), while totally adorable, truly hates to be photographed. It’s actually quite common at that age but with a some patience I can usually coax out a little of the child’s unique personality. Nope. Not this time, Camryn meant business! I’d pulled out every trick in the book and the little cutie just wasn’t having it. So I did the only thing I could think of, I called off the session. Yep.

Okay, not really. What I did was ask Mom and Dad to forget about me for a while and just go play with their kids in the beautiful garden. I made no attempt to pick up my camera or go near them. Then, having forgotten the stranger with the big camera the children went about their morning playing and having a fantastic time with Mommy & Daddy. That’s when I took the opportunity to get sneaky and started creaping through the trees to capture them playing together.

Clearly I need to better devlop my undercover techniques since they did eventually spot me. Of course, by that time they were all having too much fun to care. :) lifexpressions photography family portraits in the secret garden of naples

Jaden, you are just way too cute little man! And Camryn, those big baby blues and CURLS!! What a beauty!

lifexpressions photography family portrait session, fort myers florida, on location photographer, naples beach photographer, naples newborn photography, sibling portraits, sanibel beach portraitsI know I’ve said it before but I really do enjoy watching these families grow. I think it’s even more special when they don’t actually live in Florida but still come to see me regularly for updated sessions. The last time I’d photographed this family Jaden was 3 and Camryn was just a little baby. This year they welcomed Taylor to the family, she looks a lot like her sister at did at that age, so sweet!lifexpressions photography family portrait session, fort myers florida, on location photographer, naples beach photographer, naples newborn photography, sibling portraits, sanibel beach portraitsI have to say, I’m quite eager to see how much they grow and change by our next session together. I’m betting I won’t be required to do undercover work anymore but I’m pretty sure we’ll have a great time regardless!  See you all soon!!
