This sweet little angel totally made my day!  I had the opportunity to photograph this newborn at 8 days old (or should I say 8 days new?).  And from putting on her first tutu throughout the entire shoot she was a the perfect model! Typically with babies at this age, we plan to do all sleeping poses and those are usually my favorite, but....I think this one is my favorite. :) See what I mean?  Such a poser already! {swooning!} This one cracks me up...so much tulle with those little, tiny baby feet! Congratulations to Lavery's mommy and daddy!  Your little girl is absolutely...

This was a beautiful and intimate wedding I photographed last week.  Karly and Brandon tied the knot on Cove Beach at the Sanibel Harbour Marriott Resort and Spa.  And before they jumped onto the Sanibel Princess Cruise for their reception, we were able to go to some of my favorite spots on the property for some great bridal portraits! Here's just a sneak peek of their day.... Congratulations Karly and Brandon! Happy Honeymooning!

Here's a little sneak peek of Chris and Dana's wedding that took place at the Plantation Golf and Country Club.  Dana had expressed their desires for a fun day, a true celebration.  They opted for a First Look and saw each other before the ceremony. I don't think this February day could have been any more beautiful with such an amazing couple, their bridal party and all their family and friends!  And I absolutely love the backdrops The Plantation provides... Congratulations Dana and Chris!  All the best to you as you begin your lives together, cheers! Vendor Love: Wedding Venue - The Plantation...

This wedding was so fun for me.  From my first conversation with Natalie, I was so thrilled with the emphasis she placed on her wedding photographs.  She wanted artistic wedding portraits and gave me free reign (yay!).  So as we planned out the day, we packed in plenty of time to cover all the stylish photos I had in mind.  Natalie and Walter were so easy to photograph, not only because they were so in love, but also because they were so comfortable in front of the camera and posed perfectly with ease. :) I love all the unique details Natalie included.  Her gorgeous engagement ring, a ruby...

Bright colors for a beach wedding = my favorite!  I love the color palette Virginia chose for her wedding, coral and teal...gorgeous!  Virginia and Jesse planned their destination wedding (for them!) to be at Diamondhead Beach Resort and Spa on Fort Myer Beach.  Great location, great staff and as always a perfect sunset over the water! This first photo is one of my all-time favorites. :)   Congratulations Virginia and Jesse!  We absolutely loved being a part of your wedding day! Cheers, Alison :)

This was a special wedding for me to kick off my first wedding of 2014!  Our lovely friends, Carissa and John, got married last week at The Quarry in Naples, Florida.  Even though it ended up being a bit wet and rainy, it was still such a beautiful day.  They got married under the breezeway overlooking palm trees and water.  You have to love those fantastic Naples landscapes. Congratulations Carissa and John, so excited for you two! Here's a little sneak peek... Just a little fun with this one...since they are both police officers ;)

I'm excited to show off these engagement portraits we took last month at Koreshan State Park in Estero.  Love how they turned out!  Beautiful day, beautiful location, and beautiful couple! I've enjoyed getting to know Christie and Randy, how they met and especially loved their engagement story (which included an elaborate day long scavenger hunt, Christie's best friend flying down and of course a "yes"!).  I'm positive their wedding day will be very special.  Can't wait for their big day!

So maybe 6 years ago I photographed my friends, Chris and Kim, at the beach, just the two of them (first photo below).  And here we are again, back at the beach plus two very adorable little girls!  It's fun to see how much can change...even just looking back over this year.  Speaking of, where on earth did 2013 go?! Just before Christmas we headed out to Lighthouse Beach on Sanibel Island for a sunset photoshoot.  These two little girls kept me laughing and having such a great time.  While one little girl is much more dainty and delicate, not really interested in getting sandy, wet or dirty...the...

This wedding was super special for me...not only did I get to photograph my sister-in-law, Courtney's wedding, but I also was honored to be one of her bridesmaids.  I have to add that it was a fun break from the beach, getting to photograph a wedding in Ohio in the winter time.  They tied the knot in a beautiful, quaint church in the middle of historic Milan. Here's a quick little sneak peek of their wedding...more to come soon. Congratulations Courtney and Kyle, so excited for you both as you start your lives together!  Oh, and I hear Southwest Florida is a great place to honeymoon! ;) ...

It has been a crazy few weeks of all shooting and no blogging!  Phew! This wedding I'm definitely partial to since I had my own wedding at the White Orchid.  Such a beautiful setting, an old historic home on the river with tons of different photo ops! ;)  So here is a little sneak peek of Monica and Tyler's gorgeous wedding. Congratulations...you two had such a fabulous wedding and I'm excited to share the rest of your wedding photography with you soon!
