Flipper made a cameo appearance during this family’s Sanibel Island portrait session! It’s not uncommon to catch a glimpse of the graceful dolphins swimming just off the shore during a session, however, capturing them with the camera can be a little bit trickier. Imagine my excitement when I saw that I was able to capture this moment for them. Notice Mom’s hand holding her son’s little foot while they watch the dolphin? So sweet!

I promised to come back and add some more shots from this family’s session today so here we go…
Little William was a serious explorer the day of our session, he seemed to really enjoy taking in all the new textures and sights around him. Can’t say that I blame him, Sanibel Island is a pretty cool place to explore.

Sorry to cut this post so short but it appears that lightening just struck down my neighbor’s tree which probably means I should get off the computer.
