There is nothing like a beach wedding...love them!  This one was especially fun because this sweet couple did a morning ceremony on the beach at the beautiful Casa Ybel Resort on Sanibel Island.  It was definitely a cool morning for Florida, but beautiful nonetheless!  And I have to add that this couple is the live version of Barbie and Ken :-)  To Jessica and Matt - Congratulations!!! It was a pleasure to be part of your amazing day!  Cheers!

Before my brother headed over to Germany to serve in the Army there for 2 years, I got to take pictures of him and his lovely girlfriend.  I hadn't taken photos at the River District in a while, so I thought it would be fun to walk around and see what was new.   I just love downtown Fort Myers...everywhere you turn another get spot!

Here we are again at Koreshan State Park, a great location for photos!  And once again, what a sweet family!  One really great thing about location sessions is the freedom the kids have to run around and explore, giving me tons of opportunity to snap away :-) They loved climbing the tree, running around, sitting by the water...and on top of it they didn't mind shooting a few smiles my way to capture! And to the dear Cook family - I loved photographing you all, you are such a sweet family!

I went to High School with Brittany and Zeke and now (many years later!) here they are with two adorable boys!  I had the priviledge of photographing their first son, Bryson when he was a baby and wow has time flown, he's grown so much! Both boys were full of smiles and energy, so of course it was a blast capturing all those faces and expressions! Here is Owen's presidential wave! This was the cutest thing ever! Bryson's parents told me that he is really in to being a construction worker.  He plays this all day long, has his "work boots," walkie talkie, etc! So I decided to build him a little...

Lillian is now 6 months old! I love the 6-8 month ages, they are so cute and chubby! :-) Here are a few of my favorite photos from the shoot. We chose to do it at my studio along with a few outside locations close by. I have to add that Lillian's mother made the adorable flower hat as well as a few other outfits...she's so creative!

I'm a little behind on keeping up with my blog...but it is only because I have had so many events and portraits to shoot!  Crazy busy season has begun, and I love it! Except for not having the time to put all these photos up!  Anyway, I had the pleasure of photographing this sweet couple's wedding a little over a month ago.  I photographed her sister's wedding about two years ago and it was so fun seeing the whole family again.  As you can see Melissa is an absolutely gorgeous bride.  Their wedding was at Sanibel Harbour Resort, which added some great views!  Melissa and Chad, I wish you all the best...

Melissa called me to let me know her family was going to be on vacation at South Seas Resort on Capitva Island.  She wanted to get some family portraits taken while they were there.  We planned an early morning shoot there on the beach and what a gorgeous morning! The kids had fun walking around the beach, exploring, looking for shells and dodging waves! I absolutely love being at the beach and I'm rarely there early in the morning, so this was fun to play with sunrise and early morning lighting in addition to photographing such a lovely family! As you plan your family holiday portraits, and your...
