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! :)

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.

Sum…sum…summertime!

September 3, 2008 – 4:57 pm

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!!

Munchin’ on Sand on Naples Beach

August 29, 2008 – 1:59 pm

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!”

July 14, 2008 – 5:19 pm

One fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish…this bunch of cuties had the most adorable coordinated clothing. I’ve really got to hand it to Mom, she totally outdid herself! Ahhh, I wish I had time to share more but it’s after 5:00 pm and I’ve got to go pick up my own little monkeys.

July 1, 2008 – 5:09 pm

I’ve only got a moment before my own little ones remind me that my work day ended 45 minutes ago and this is their time. ha ha ha So I will be very quick posting this sneak peek for a special client. I’ve had to pleasure of photographing these little ones several years in a row now. Each time I see them we have more fun together than the last - sparkling little personalities growing in this family. :)

One Tough Cookie…

April 4, 2008 – 5:41 pm

Meet sweet little Lila - awe, isn’t she a beauty!? Lila was visiting Naples (with her Mommy & Daddy of course). The morning of the session she welcomed me, almost immediately, with a big smile. So I thought to myself, “Self - this is going to be a breeze!” Ha - famous last words! It seemed as though the sight of the camera made that sweet smile disappear. I’d put the camera down, she’d laugh and giggle, I’d pick it up and get this -

Oh yes, it is a perfectly beautiful expression but I knew she had this really cute smile hiding in there and I was determined to catch it. Especially considering the fact that they had traveled to the area and would be heading home soon. At one point Mom leaned over and said, “Grandpa’s going to meet us here, he always makes her laugh.” Well, Grandpa arrived alright - with reinforcements!

Mom emailed this photo to me after our session, do you see the line of people trying to elicit a smile from this one little girl?? Let’s count them shall we? 1..2..3..4..5..6.. I lost count! Surely this crowd could find Lila’s elusive smile and make her giggle with delight.

Picture Day for Lila

Yeah, that’s me, elbows in the dirt, bottom in the air.What a flattering pose eh? Note to self: Must refrain from sticking my fanny in the air in front of clients. Not my best angle to be sure! With her own personal entertainment crew at hand, surely Lila would smile now…

Nope. Not a chance.

So what do you think? Did I ever catch Lila’s sweet smile for Mom and Dad?

Ha, of course I did silly! Was there ever any doubt?
