Last Friday, we hopped on a boat and headed to North Captiva Island, Florida for Lynn and Kirk's beach wedding.  If you are looking for a private beach location for your wedding, North Captiva Island Club Resort definitely offers that!  What a beautiful place for an tropical Florida wedding. Lynn and Kirk couldn't have been any cuter of a couple, so sweet...the camera definitely loved them!  They had a beach ceremony and beachside cocktail hour before heading to the Island Club for a poolside reception.  We did sneak out of the reception to take their sunset portraits.  We had a beautiful...

I'm just getting back to Wyoming from another trip to Florida and it is time to get this sneak peek up of this couple's wedding photography! Emily and Quincy tied the knot on a beautiful Saturday afternoon in April, on the beach, at Sanibel Harbour Marriott Resort and Spa.  This couple was so sweet together, I truly enjoyed photographing their outside wedding and working with them to create some great wedding photos. And I really love Emily's color scheme...ORANGE!  Perfect pop of color for a beach wedding. :) Congratulations Emily and Quincy...more coming soon!

This couple made my job easy! Not only are they so incredible sweet together, they look like Barbie and Ken, but they were super comfortable posing in front of the camera for their engagement shoot. I photographed them last month when I was back in Florida. We covered a lot of grounds in the River District of Fort Myers, FL capturing their engagement pictures.  And we lucked out with some awesome natural lighting, thank you clouds! :) It was hard to narrow down my favorites engagement photos to put up here, so warning..there's a lot! Congratulations, Jianna and Matt...looking forward to your...

I just got back from Florida, photographing Jill and Craig's beach wedding at Sanibel Harbour.  March weddings in Florida at the beach = perfection!  :) LOVE this time of year!  The icing on the cake for me was this super sweet couple.  From day one they have been wonderful to work with and get to know.  On their wedding day, they were so relaxed and went with the flow on everything, which in turn made their day nice (no stress! or at least I saw none! ;) ). So here is a little sneak peek of their beach wedding day...enjoy! Congratulations Jill and Craig!  I enjoyed photographing your...

This little guy was absolutely adorable to photograph.  It did take a little convincing, a lot of bribery, and a smidge of trickery (hee, hee) to get him to agree to taking some photos (wait a minute, my husband's the same way...hmmmm), but in the end I feel as though we both won. :)  I got some cute kid portraits and he had a little fun (or at least I hope he did! haha). The weather is a bit chilly right now in January here in Wyoming, so we did opt for the studio on this particular day.  Thus, since we were in my studio, we had perfect lighting and the weather was ideal! ;-)  (The benefit...

If you know me, you know that I absolutely love the 6-9 month stage for baby pictures...they are sitting up, maybe crawling a little, but definitely not running yet! Plus it is a great age to venture outside with them and get some outdoor baby portraits. I loved photographing this sweet little munchkin...who has the most beautiful blue eyes!  We took photos of this baby girl and her family portraits near Cody and Powell, Wyoming off Chief Joseph Scenic Hwy.  Then ended with a few studio portraits here in Baby A's little cow costume, adorbs!  Although I'm not sure how much she enjoyed her little...

It's 2015 already!  Christmas is over :( and I'm seeing not much point to the snow anymore, haha!  But since it is here, I might as well stay warm inside and catch up on a little blogging. I'll start with this girl, my niece, who I've been photographing for 10+ years now, who still loves to challenge me when it comes to taking her pictures!  Haha...it has always been her idea vs. mine (she wins 90% of the time). :) She was our first official visitor out here in Wyoming and she got to stay with us for a couple weeks.  In addition to crafts, exploring, and four-wheeling, I talked her into doing...

I just got back from Florida, photographing this gorgeous wedding at the Estero Country Club at the Vines.  I do love winter weddings in Florida, such perfect weather and Jodi and Russell's wedding was no exception.  They did a First Look, which was great because we were able to utilize A LOT of the scenic grounds around the country club before the ceremony and a few more after.  :) Here's a sneak peek of a few of their portraits... Congratulations Jodi and Russell...more to come soon! Cheers, Alison

I was so humbled and honored to receive once again "Wedding Photographer of the Year" as well as "Commercial Photographer of the Year" with the Professional Photographers of Southwest Florida and "Outstanding Service Award" with the Florida Professional Photographers.  This was my last year with the PPSWF and FPP since I've moved out west, so I'm happy to go out with a bang!  I told my husband I should get a REALLY big bonus now from my boss (yours truly) and my office Christmas party (consisting of me, the cat, and the dog) is going to be epic, Haha... He's not amused and probably really worried. ...

There's a blizzard going on outside my window, letting me know that fall is long over!  But I'm still going to post these fall engagement photos, too pretty not to share.  :)  Last month I had the opportunity to photograph this beautiful couple off Chief Joseph Scenic Highway (I can see why it's called that, it has become one of my favorite locations!).  Since I've been in Florida most of my photography career, I believe this is my first ever engagement session in the fall.  I love autumn and the changing of colors!  It made for a perfect backdrop for this lovely couple. So here are a few of my favorites......
