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!

 

Sum…sum…summertime!

Well alright - now this is what summer is all about! Oh and yes, Rebecca is just as much fun as she appears to be in pictures. :) We had a little time to chat between clothing changes and I have to tell you, I am seriously impressed with this little lady, she has a heart of pure gold. She seems so much more grown up that I remember ten being. Thanks for humoring me Rebecca, I told you you’d look awesome in the dress! :)

Mom, keep your eyes on your inbox…proofs are coming your way VERY soon!!

chem·is·try {Naples Beach Maternity Photography}

 

Let’s examine that word a bit more, shall we?

 

chem·is·try: n.

1. The elements of a complex entity and their dynamic interrelation.

2. Mutual attraction or sympathy; rapport.

 

Yep, that pretty much sums up my session with Ben & Jennifer…so much chemistry and affection for each other…this little one is already blessed to be coming home to such loving parents. I am on pins and needles waiting for their newborn session!

I’ve got just one more comment before I call it a night…

Jennifer my dear, you’re lucky I don’t share my client’s email addresses on the blog. I’m willing to bet your email would soon be flooded with messages from women who are very jealous of how amazing you look in your little white bikini. Dang, most of us can’t pull off that look when we’re not pregnant! You are just stunning girl! My hats off to you for staying in such amazing shape through your pregnancy!

 

 

 

Munchin’ on Sand on Naples Beach

Just going to pop in and post one or two, really quickly. I’m a little backed up and bouncing off walls just thinking of everything I need to do but my computer doesn’t move as quickly as my brain does so instead of crossing things off here I sit, waiting, working, waiting, working, waiting. Oye! I really need to find a way be in two places at once…seriously. It would make life so much easier! ha ha

So, I’m sharing a quick one today, this little guy is Adrian. He recently visited the Naples area for his first birthday. Now obviously he brought the family along with him, but I’ll share more of them later. Mom swears up and down this little guy wasn’t enjoying the beach at all in the days prior to our session. In fact, if I remember correctly there was mention of tears and meltdowns as soon as the toes hit the sand. Well, let’s just say that was NOT the case when I arrived that day. In fact, I’d say this little man thought the sand was de·li·cious! *snicker*

This is one of those shots that when you first look at it you can’t help but to giggle out loud. You know, the kind of giggle that sneaks up on you and makes you snort when you laugh. Yea, that kind of funny!

Ok, just one more because he’s so stinkin’ cute! I need a caption for this one. Something that reads, “Who me? I didn’t eat the sand, honest!”
