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

March 2, 2009 – 11:57 pm

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.

January 13, 2009 – 6:22 pm

I recently had the pleasure of spending a little quality time with one very adorable family in beautiful Estero. I have to tell ya, there was a little bit of deja vu going on that day. I’ve had the pleasure of photographing this charming family several times now our very first session together was back in the summer of 2006 when little Sydney was just about the same age her baby sister is today. Go ahead, have a peek for yourself, it’s so much fun seeing how they’ve changed from one session to the next. Here’s Sweet Sydney in July 2006, I can’t help but wonder if little Sienna will have those same gorgeous curls Sydney has now the next time I see them?

Sneak Peek { Wade & Jake } – Naples Child Photography

November 18, 2008 – 1:07 pm

With this post I am officially ‘sneak peeking’ the last of the holiday sessions and all sessions with guaranteed holiday delivery will be online before the end of the day. Unfortunately I did not have the opportunity to sneak peek all of the lovely children I’ve photographed during the fast paced holiday portrait season but I do plan to continue sharing images from those sessions in the coming weeks. So, if you’d hoped to catch a glimpse of your session on the blog – stay tuned – we’re not done yet!! :)

Now, let me introduce to you Wade & Jake of Naples. This is my second year photographing these two adorable young men and I do believe, aside from one little toy-in-river mishap which I will not go into today :???: , we had a wonderfully fun session together. I’m going to bet that first image becomes a favorite for big brother Wade. He sorta looked at me like I’d lost my mind when I asked him if he wanted to climb the tree. Once he got up there he decided that it was a pretty cool place to hang out and kept asking to go back up the big tree the rest of the morning. I don’t know how well you can tell on the web sized image but little Jake is pointed up at his big brother in the shot because he wanted to go up there with him. *giggle* So cute!

Ok, so the last sneak peek of the season was a big one, I just couldn’t help myself! Oh and um, Mom, *giggle* better you than me! There is no way I could pick a favorite. Looks like you’ve got some tough decisions to make. Hey, don’t blame me, it’s not my fault your children are so adorable! :lol:

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

November 13, 2008 – 3:56 pm

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! :)

Proof Update for the {Slices of Life} Mini Sessions | Sneak Peek Jaiden & Eliana

November 12, 2008 – 2:47 pm

First, a quick status update for my Slices of Life mini session clients who are patiently awaiting their proofs. All Slices of Life proofs will be online Friday November 14th. Clients will be notified through email just as soon as the galleries are active with complete instructions on viewing and ordering. :)

Now for the fun stuff…I just have to sneak peek a few of Jaiden & Eliana. It seems like only yesterday little Eli was a sweet newborn all snuggled up in Daddy’s arms. Look at her now, growing up so quickly! At 2 years old she looks exactly like her big sister looked when we first met more than 3 years ago. Clearly good looks run in the family!

Sneak Peek {Dominic} – Naples Beach Child Photography

November 9, 2008 – 11:23 pm

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.

Featured Session: { Avery, 3 yrs }

October 30, 2008 – 8:37 pm

Yippee! Another featured session slideshow!! Why? Well, partly because I have guilt over being such a bad blog poster recently but mostly just because she is way too cute and I just couldn’t decide on ‘a few’ favorites for the blog. I’ve had the honor of photographing Avery 3 times now, in fact, her adorable smile happens to be one of the first images on the main website. I know it doesn’t seem possible, but I do believe she gets cuter every.single.time we meet! Kudos to Avery’s Mom & Nana for their amazing sense of style yet again. I’m thinking maybe I should put you two on the payroll as client stylists, you ladies are awesome!! :grin:
