Sneak Peek { Riley & Family } - Estero Family Portraits

This most adorable young family has been patiently waiting for their proofs while we wrap up the holiday sessions. I’m hoping they enjoy this little sneak peek as it’s only a very small sampling of all the adorable images to come. Little Riley was such a joy to photograph! Mom mentioned before the session that Riley is very expressive and even though she’s not talking she speaks volumes with her facial expressions. Well, she was certainly not kidding about that!! I’ve been giggling my way through the images and finding it hard to pick just a few for the blog, I can only imagine how challenging it’s going to be for Mom & Dad to pick favorites.

Sneak Peek { Wade & Jake } - Naples Child Photography

With this post I am officially ’sneak peeking’ the last of the holiday sessions and all sessions with guaranteed holiday delivery will be online before the end of the day. Unfortunately I did not have the opportunity to sneak peek all of the lovely children I’ve photographed during the fast paced holiday portrait season but I do plan to continue sharing images from those sessions in the coming weeks. So, if you’d hoped to catch a glimpse of your session on the blog - stay tuned - we’re not done yet!! :)

Now, let me introduce to you Wade & Jake of Naples. This is my second year photographing these two adorable young men and I do believe, aside from one little toy-in-river mishap which I will not go into today :???: , we had a wonderfully fun session together. I’m going to bet that first image becomes a favorite for big brother Wade. He sorta looked at me like I’d lost my mind when I asked him if he wanted to climb the tree. Once he got up there he decided that it was a pretty cool place to hang out and kept asking to go back up the big tree the rest of the morning. I don’t know how well you can tell on the web sized image but little Jake is pointed up at his big brother in the shot because he wanted to go up there with him. *giggle* So cute!

Ok, so the last sneak peek of the season was a big one, I just couldn’t help myself! Oh and um, Mom, *giggle* better you than me! There is no way I could pick a favorite. Looks like you’ve got some tough decisions to make. Hey, don’t blame me, it’s not my fault your children are so adorable! :lol:

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 {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

Sneak Peek, Sydney & Sienna

[sub·lime]: 1. impressing the mind with a sense of grandeur or power;

inspiring awe, veneration

2. supreme or outstanding

Actually ’sublime’ is Nick’s latest favorite word, I’m just going to borrow it for a little while because I cannot think of a more perfect word to describe these adorable young ladies!
(Cliff notes: Nick is my 7 yr old.)
This face totally cracks me up. Yep, I’d have to say that expression is just sublime!

Lovely little Lauren

She’s a tough nut to crack but once you get her going everything flows so beautifully. This is my second opportunity to photograph Miss Lauren. I can’t wait to visit them in March when they welcome the new baby. (Yep, there is still something in that water around here!)

Personality - This kid has a fabulous personality!
