Sneak Peek { Judson & Paisley } | Fort Myers Newborn Photographer

February 17, 2009 – 7:58 pm

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, one of my all time favorite parts of this ‘job’ is the people, the families that have chosen me to document those special moments in their lives time and time again. I’m posting tonight to introduce one of my newest JOY Babies, Judson. Big sister Paisley just recently graduated from JOY program herself, she was always such a charmer during each of our sessions together so of course I am eagerly anticipating the next year with her baby brother!

Paisley’s turning two next month so of course I had to capture a few photos of the birthday girl! Don’t you just love her dress!? Besides being totally cute, the dress also holds a lot of sentimental meaning for Paisley’s Mom since she wore it herself at the same age. What a brilliant idea to bring it out during our session together!

They say one of the things that sets the professional photographer apart from the hobbiest is the ability to recreate an image at any time. Largely because the professional photographer shoots with intent. The images captured are not meerly lucky shots. If asked, the photographer can recreate an image because he (or she!) has an understanding of the fundimental elements of lighting and composition required to make it happen. This is not to say that every image captured can be reproduced, obviously there are other factors to take into consideration, but in a controlled environment it should be a fairly simple task to accomplish. Are you wondering why I brought this up in the middle of a Judson’s newborn photographs? Apart from the fact that I am often asked to recreate images for clients based on something they fell in love with in my portfolio, Judson’s Mommy also hoped I’d be able to recreate an image I took of  Paisley as a newborn almost 2 years ago. Considering I hadn’t seen the exact image she wanted in quite some time I was really pleased with how similar they are. Hopefully Mom will be happy with the results too! :)

January 13, 2009 – 6:22 pm

I recently had the pleasure of spending a little quality time with one very adorable family in beautiful Estero. I have to tell ya, there was a little bit of deja vu going on that day. I’ve had the pleasure of photographing this charming family several times now our very first session together was back in the summer of 2006 when little Sydney was just about the same age her baby sister is today. Go ahead, have a peek for yourself, it’s so much fun seeing how they’ve changed from one session to the next. Here’s Sweet Sydney in July 2006, I can’t help but wonder if little Sienna will have those same gorgeous curls Sydney has now the next time I see them?

Sneak Peek { Alexia } – Naples Newborn Photography

January 6, 2009 – 7:56 am

One of my favorite things about being an on location photographer is the challenge that comes from walking into a new home for the first time, assessing the lighting, the decor and of course the parents and being able to incorporate who they are into the session itself. Mom and Dad have such a playful fun relationship I truly enjoyed getting to know them a bit and watching them together. I’d like to introduce to you their new bundle of sweetness, Alexia. 10 days old and lifeXpressions first 2009 newborn! Isn’t she just perfect?!

Shortly after I arrived at their Naples home for their maternity session I learned that Dad is a doctor and a musician and that music is a pretty big part of their lives. I think the stream of guitars and the music room upstairs was my first clue, some days I can be very perceptive. *giggle* Seeing all of the instruments immediately set my brain in motion wondering how I could incorporate their love of music into their portraits. At times it was a bit of a challenge but we did manage to capture it in both sessions, hopefully Mom and Dad will agree with me that it was worth the effort! :)

Holy cow, that boy can fly! And as you can see he loved every second of it! This little cutie is only a year old and just overflowing with personality! Of course it’s really no surprise, Mom and Dad are equally charming. What a fun family to photograph. I have so many favorites it was hard to pick just a few for the blog!

Sneak Peek { Hayden } – Fort Myers Newborn Photographer

November 26, 2008 – 8:02 am

I’m going to post Just one more sneak peek before I take off for a R&R with my family at the Magic Kingdom. :

I just could not sneak away without giving this family a little peek to hold them over through the Thanksgiving holiday. I’m thinking perhaps little Hayden is destine to become a great explorer, you see, sleep was the last thing on this little guy’s mind the day of our session. That’s okay though, he was super cute regardless! Thanks for being so patient Mom & Dad, I promise, lots of good things to come upon my return.

Have a safe and happy holiday everyone! :grin:

Sneak Peek { Riley & Family } – Estero Family Portraits

November 25, 2008 – 1:53 pm

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.
