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!”

Sneak Peek, Dominic, Isabella, & P.J. visit Naples (Naples Beach Photography)

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.

Sneak Peek, Timmy, Davey, & Sarah

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. :)

Enjoy!

One Tough Cookie…

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?

Sneak Peek, Katherine & Matthew

I happen to know that the Mommy has been waiting very patiently for her sneak peek so I wanted to pop it up real quick before I call it a night. These two are just so adorable – my biggest challenge is deciding which to showcase on the blog. Mr. & Mrs. B , you’ve got your work cut out for you! ha ha ha

Sneak Peek, Beach Day

I’d take a beach day over a snow day ANYday! Just looking at these makes me want to grab the kids and head for the sand. I’ll share a bunch today, this was an extended family session with three adorable children between the two families.

Sneak Peek, Maddox

With the holiday sessions completed, it’s time to lock myself in the office with my ex-large cappuccino, freshly loaded ipod, and a little bit of extra padding for the ‘ol desk chair so I can edit those sessions and get them online for you all.

Before I close up shop tonight I wanted to share little Maddox with you all…

He certainly has grown since the first time I photographed him! Handsome as ever isn’t he?! I had hoped to have his proofs online tonight but considering that it’s almost midnight I think it’s pretty safe to assume I didn’t get as far as I’d planned. So, this little sneak peek is for Maddox’s Mommy & Daddy, hoping it will bring a smile to their faces while they wait for me to put the finishing touches on their proofs.
