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! :)

Proof Update for the {Slices of Life} Mini Sessions | Sneak Peek Jaiden & Eliana

First, a quick status update for my Slices of Life mini session clients who are patiently awaiting their proofs. All Slices of Life proofs will be online Friday November 14th. Clients will be notified through email just as soon as the galleries are active with complete instructions on viewing and ordering. :)

Now for the fun stuff…I just have to sneak peek a few of Jaiden & Eliana. It seems like only yesterday little Eli was a sweet newborn all snuggled up in Daddy’s arms. Look at her now, growing up so quickly! At 2 years old she looks exactly like her big sister looked when we first met more than 3 years ago. Clearly good looks run in the family!

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 {Tonya} – Fort Myers Maternity Portraits

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

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:

Trick or Treat!!

Since I haven’t shared any photos of my own kids in what feels like for-ev-er I thought it might be fun to pop in quickly and share a few of them all dressed up for Trick or Treating.

This year Nick was a United States Soldier which Rob loved since this gave him a chance to tell Nick stories about his time in the Army and all about what an excellent marksmen he was ‘back in the day’. I was informed tonight that I am completely clueless on the various ways a solider stands so the pose/stance whatever ya call it is thanks to Daddy. *giggle*

As for Miss Olivia { my little mini me } well, she was no mere ballerina, oh no that would never do, she was a ballerina PRINCESS. Don’t you just love how meek and humble my little girl is? *giggle* At one point a wonderful candy-hander-outer (I didn’t check wikipedia but I’m pretty sure that’s the technical term) commented that she looked like a beautiful little queen. To which I replied, “It’s hard enough catering to the demands of a princess – don’t give her any ideas!” :grin:

Alright, Just two more of my littlest angels. Thanks for humoring a proud Mommy. I swear it’s like pulling teeth to get a real smile out of these two, they know all my tricks by now. :P

Featured Session: { Avery, 3 yrs }

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:
