Family Photographer

So my beautiful friend, Leann who I've known since high school (which was just a few years ago, or so...yikes!) is getting married...to Jeremy, who she met in high school!  YAY!  I'm so pumped for this wedding, they are such a sweet couple! We headed to Koreshan State Park to take their engagement and family photos with Jeremy's two adorable kiddos.  :)  The only instructions I was given before our session began was from Leann who said she would NOT do any "Baywatch Running" photos.  So that dates back to another mutual friend's wedding when I made the bridal party do the "Baywatch Run" for (what...

I can't get over how cute these two little kiddos are!  And they were so sweet with each other for the whole shoot, I'm sure they never ever fight! ;)  Here are a few of the photos that made me smile...

And once again...I'm a little late on posting these portraits.  :-/  I enjoyed meeting this family very much.  Both the parents work in creative fields which made it really fun knowing they had a creative eye too.   In fact, Gretchen is an amazing painter..check her out: http://www.pawpalettes.com/home . As I was looking through these I realized one of the locations is no more.  The new restaurant, Firestone, has painted the brick wall.  Crazy how downtown Fort Myers keeps changing, but it really looks great!

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...

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...

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!

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
