Sneak Peek { Connie & Alex } | Naples Beach Mother and Child Portraits

I have to tell you, I am having so much fun with the Mother and Child mini session promotion. These sessions are packed full of ‘feel good’ images for me, this session was certainly no exception. I spent much of my editing time smiling ear to ear enjoying watching mother and son play together and really connect which can often be difficult to capture just because us ‘Moms’ have a hard time relaxing in front of the camera. Likely because we’re so used to being behind the scenes which is precisely why I felt the Mother and Child mini sessions were so important to begin with! Time passes all too quickly, it’s important to take the time to document and remember these special moments.

Back to Connie & Alex, I don’t think even my most loyal blog readers will recognize this handsome young man. I once proclaimed Alex the poster child for lifeXpressions his sweet smile and outrageous expressions have been melting my heart since the summer of 2006, let me tell ya, Alex has certainly grown but his personality is as lively as ever! No surprise really, you only need to spend five minutes with his beautiful and loving mommy to understand why Alex is as playful and charming as he is.

For those interested, I do still have just a few available dates in March for the Mother and Child mini sessions! If interested you’ll need to call our studio soon, this offer expires April 1, 2009.

Sneak Peek { Louise & Liam } Naples Beach Mother and Child Portraits

I was quite honored to have the opportunity to photograph Louise and Liam once again. You may recognize Louise and Liam from the image of mine featuring them in The Big Book of Babies. In fact, I do believe Liam’s mommy is the only Mommy of mine to have been included in the book. Perhaps they publishers saw that same unspoken love and affection for her son that I see when I watch them play together. Liam is such a sweet, gentle soul. He takes a little bit to warm up to strangers but once you’ve earned his trust it’s all laughter and pure boy energy from there on out. Ya know, I’m not sure who was more worn out after our session together; Leslie, Liam, or ME!

Holy cow, that boy can fly! And as you can see he loved every second of it! This little cutie is only a year old and just overflowing with personality! Of course it’s really no surprise, Mom and Dad are equally charming. What a fun family to photograph. I have so many favorites it was hard to pick just a few for the blog!

Sneak Peek { Kaitlyn & Kenzie } – Sanibel Island Family Photography

It was certainly beautiful on Sanibel today, I couldn’t help but pull out the camera and snap off a few shots before my clients arrived. I think the planets aligned just perfectly for this family. When I arrived on the island it was hot and oh so bright. Just look at that big beautiful blue sky surrounding the old Sanibel Lighthouse….

The sun managed to make it’s way behind a few clouds as I was shooting which opened up a rare opportunity for me to capture a few shots of the family with the old lighthouse in the background. Normally the sun is right next to the lighthouse and much to bright to be suitable for portraits (unless of course I was working with a team of assistants and had those portable strobes I’ve been eying *hint*hint*). ;) Today I had the pleasure of working with a very a lovely family vacationing all the way from Canada. While we were chatting I learned that tomorrow is actually Mom’s birthday!! So, happy birthday Mom! I hope you enjoy this little sneak peek into our session, the girls were delightful! I can’t wait to share the rest of the images with you all! :)

Sneak Peek {Dominic} – Naples Beach Child Photography

Just one more sneak peek this weekend then I’m going to turn in because I’ve got an insane amount of editing to do this week in an effort to get everyone their proofs in time for the holiday delivery. :shock:

You all need to search the blog for Dominic and you’ll likely find posts dating back to when this little fella was only 6 months old and barely able to sit up on his own. Now, as we got together for his 4 year session it’s clear that there is no slowing this little man down! His sweet baby sis, Brianna has just as much energy to burn. Their spunk, energy and need to explore certainly keep me on my toes but I wouldn’t have it any other way! Just look at how sweet they are, it melts my heart.

Sneak Peek, Logan

The beach at sunset + handsome young man + rockin’ tunes being played while I’m shooting =  one totally inspiring creative high for me!! Thanks for such a fabulous session Logan!

Just one more, we had to stand in the rain for this series. Mom holding my reflector over my head to shield the camera. *giggle* Seems to be the way these evening sessions go this time of year. That’s ok with me though, I just love those stormy blue skies behind him. Yeah, I think it was worth it.

Featured Session: Naples Beach Family Session

Let’s call this a trial run of a possible new feature to the innerXpressions blog. My goal is to be able to share more than just an image or two but rather to give blog viewers a real taste of what a lifeXpressions session is like. Personally, I prefer the quality of the slideshows I create for my clients for long-term enjoyment since the color accuracy is more realistic and the images don’t move quite so rapidly but this little animated ‘snip’ is pretty adorable in it’s own right. :)

I posted a few images from this little guy’s session on the blog toward the end of July and, well, since the whole family is just so darned cute anyway I decided they would be the perfect family to kick us off. Please feel free to leave your thoughts on the video and the concept of future ‘featured sessions’. I am always open to feedback! Now I must get ready for a special evening out with my guy. Have a wonderful weekend everyone!
