Sneak Peek {Tonya} - Fort Myers Maternity Portraits

November 7, 2008 – 8:06 pm

Greetings all! I promised this Mom to be a sneak peek before the arrival of her baby and considering the fact that she was 38 (yes, T-H-I-R-T-Y-E-I-G-H-T!! ) weeks pregnant during our session I knew that would be a tough promise to keep but one that she would surely treasure as she made her way to labor and delivery.

Allow me to introduce to you Tonya, 38 weeks pregnant with her little bundle of love and scheduled to deliver this coming Monday. Woohoo!! How exciting! Tonya, you are one truly beautiful lady, inside and out, in short - you ROCK Momma!! :grin: I can’t wait to meet the new arrival!

Sneak Peek {Berklie & Family} - Estero Family Portraits

November 3, 2008 – 11:14 pm

Just a quick sneak peek tonight. I promised Berklie’s Mommy I would share some images from our session together asap and well, it’s holiday season so unfortunately asap wasn’t as ‘asap‘ as I’d hoped it would be. Rest assured Mom, I’ve got some fantastic images for you guys. In spite of the heat, humidity and a toddlers innate ability to run like lightening the second their little feet touch the ground. *giggle*

Here’s a little taste of what’s to come, your proofs will be ready very soon!! Thanks for being so patient with me!

Isn’t she just the cutest?! :grin:

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:

Shhhhh, Sneak Peek on the down low…

October 26, 2008 – 10:10 pm

Is that how the cool kids say it? Okay, I freely admit I haven’t been a ‘cool kid’ in quite a few years but what I do know is that I have one very excited Meema and Mommy waiting for this sneak peek that also happens to be a surprise for a certain unsuspecting Daddy waiting back home in the Big Apple. Ya see, Mom and Dad are both brilliant artists in N.Y.C. - yeah no pressure there :lol: Mommy is hoping to surprise Daddy with some wonderful photos of their adorable little man for the holidays. So….can ya keep a secret?? Great, I thought so! :D

Without further ado I introduce to you one most adorable little guys I’ve met thus far. His name is Luther and he has the such a sweet gentle soul you can’t help but fall in love with him instantly. :)

Don’t ya just love that last one? I think he’s practicing for trick or treat time! ;)

Rain or Shine…

October 25, 2008 – 10:36 pm

The Slices of Life Mini Sessions will go on - and by golly we’ll have fun doing it! Ya gotta love a well prepared Dad! Kudos to Lilly’s Daddy for having the foresight to bring along some fun rain gear and the laid back attitude to make it all just ‘work’ regardless! Lilly’s Mommy is out of town at the moment and I know just how hard it is to be away from your little one so I’m hoping this sneak peek will bring a smile to her face.

I have many more families and photos to share and I promise, more sneak peeks from the Slices of Life sessions very soon! This unusually icky weather backed up my sessions just a tad and I’ve got an early start on the beach tomorrow so this photographer must take time to recharge her batteries before a crazy busy week. However, I do want to take a moment to say thank you to all the wonderful families who made their way out in the rain and humidity to keep me company today, you are all AMAZING, thank you from the bottom of my heart. Stay tuned for your sneak peeks…..

Nite all!

Sneak Peek: Welcome Marlee

October 15, 2008 – 7:06 am

I’m going to sneak this peek bright and early because I happen to know there is a certain Aunt on her way to Florida today who has been stalking the blog waiting for these. I just couldn’t let her come to Florida without giving her a little time to prepare herself for the incredible cuteness she’s about to see face to face. I mean little Marlee is like pure sugar, so sweet she makes your teeth ache but whatever you do you just can’t get enough of her. :razz:

Kisses for Marlee from her big brother Maddox. {awww} Maddox is two and man is he quick, thank goodness my trigger finger was pretty quick too!

Peek-a-boo I See You!

It really shouldn’t surprise me that Marlee is as amazing as she is. I mean I’ve been photographing this family for more than two years now and it’s easy to see beauty and sweetness are in their genes. Go ahead, see for yourself: September ‘06 {Maternity Session}, November ‘07 {Maddox turns ONE}, August ‘08 {Waiting for Marlee}

Love and Romance on Fort Myers Beach

October 6, 2008 – 4:50 pm

This family was really a joy to work with in so many ways. Their lively personalities and the love they share for each other was evident the day of our session and I think that feeling is certainly shining through in the images captured that day. With their oldest daughter graduating from high school this year and Mom and Dad renewing their voes on the beach the very next day this was certainly a memorable time in their lives and I feel quite honored that they picked me to capture the moments and help them preserve these memories.
