As usual another year has flown by so quickly!  So in an effort to do something "year end-ish" I journeyed back through the images of people we had the opportunity to photograph in 2012.  This has been the most fun year YET!  I truly want to thank you all for your business, loyalty, friendship and artistic freedom!  I love my job so much and you have all given me such an amazing year.   I look forward to serving you this next year! So here is just a small collection of 2012.  And in the words of Benjamin Franklin.  "Be at war with your vices; at peace with your neighbors, and let every...

Finally getting a full blog up on a wedding instead of just a sneak peek!  And I just had to get this one up here...beautiful couple, beautiful day! Sarah and Brandon tied the knot at The Edison Restaurant.  I have never photographed a wedding at this location before, but definitely hope I do again!   I loved the atmosphere, old Fort Myers feel mixed with Thomas Edison memorabilia.  And then you add in TR Designs who did a fabulous job on the decorations and wedding planning.   If you know me, you know I am a sucker for feathers and Todd used lots!  Swoon! :) The ceremony was outside...

This year has been so fun...and one big reason why is that I have had the opportunity to see so much growth in my dear sweet clients!  From beautiful couples tying the knot, to others having babies, to this gorgeous family and seeing their little ones grow a year older.  And now, even as I write this, I realize these two cutie pies are probably looking even older (I'm a little late on getting this blog post up, no surprise there!). We've been able to join Gillian and her family on vacation on Captiva Island for two years in a row now to take some family portraits.  Always a pleasure and always...

Sarah and Brandon have tied the knot!  And what a beautiful wedding it was at The Edison Restaurant.  There are more photos to come, but wanted to get a little peek up here especially since the holiday craziness has started and I haven't had time to blog much. Congratulations Sarah and Brandon!

I just got back last week from the beautiful city of Birmingham, Alabama.  Since my sister lives there, I do frequent the city and have always wanted to shoot a wedding there.  I fell in love with all the numerous locations for photo ops! So here is a little sneak peek from Alex and Ryan's wedding.  They were such a fun couple, they kept me laughing most of the day!  I'll post more about their gorgeous wedding later, but here's a quick peek. Congratulations Alex and Ryan!

I was able to go visit my dear college friend up in North Carolina last month and meet her 9 month old baby boy for the first time.  It was so fun, he was such a little ham! So as much as I love Florida and the beaches, I have to say the state of NC is quite lovely!  I really enjoyed my time up there and was able to take their family portraits in their own backyard.  Yes, I know what you are thinking, you'd like to rent out their backyard for your family portraits...well that can be arranged! Haha :) And to the 'S' family...love and miss you all! Love baby feet!!!!

I love this family!!!  Not only are they wonderful and sweet friends, but they are quite stylish and a blast to photograph!  And it was the first shoot in a long time where I didn't have to dance around and act like a clown trying to get youngsters attention, haha. ;) I told them I want to use their portraits as a great example of what you can wear.  While not being too matchy-matchy, they coordinated well, each with their own personal style.  Love it!  Some food for thought as you start planning your holiday portrait session.  Call me and we can discuss!

Here's a quick peek of last weekend's wedding up in Iowa!  I absolutely love the Midwest in the summer time and even though they've been having a HOT summer, it was a beautiful 83 degrees on Stacy and Matt's wedding day.  More of this wedding soon, but for now here are a few images we took at the Hoover Prairie before the reception.... Congratulations Stacy and Matt!!! :)

Senior season is in full swing!  We took Samantha's portraits a little while back and what a perfect model with an amazing smile (I'm super envious of her dimple!!).  We covered a good bit of downtown Fort Myers, which always makes for a great backdrop.  And I even convinced her to pick a dance pose in the middle of the street, such a great sport. ;)

The weekend is here!  I can't believe how fast this summer is flying by and my goal of catching up on blogging isn't happening! Ahh!  But is has been nice to catch up on editing, albums and cleaning my office :)  Before I take off for the weekend I have to post this little sugar plum's portrait up here.  Payton was an angel to photograph, slept perfectly...such a poser! Have a fabulous weekend! :) Alison
