I photographed Tabitha and Bill's engagement portraits at Lighthouse Beach on Sanibel Island...at sunrise!  Such a sweet and fun couple, props to them both for getting up early!  I don't often get to shoot in the early morning hours (mainly because my bed discourages it ;) ), but I must say how pretty the sunrise on the beach is...so fresh and new. I'm so pumped to photograph their wedding next month...congratulations Tabitha and Bill!

Who would have thought that in the middle of a Florida summer you could have a really nice (not too humid) wedding on the beach?!  This is exactly what we got for Katie and Nathan's day and despite the rainy week, we had a nice 2-3 hour window of no rain- all during the ceremony and picture time! Yay!  So here is just a few photos from their wedding. Congratulations Katie and Nathan!  So excited for you and really hope you guys move down here one day! ;)

It's July 15!  And I haven't blogged anything in a while, yikes!  Usually my summers are a great time to catch up, but not this one. ;)Leann and Jeremy's beautiful wedding was last month.  They tied the knot at The Village Church at Shell Point.  Shell Point has such gorgeous scenic views...great place for photographs. :)This wedding was an extra special one for me, I've known both Leann and Jeremy since high school and it was awesome seeing these two get married!  Here's to a lifetime of love and happiness (and lots of kids??! just teasing!) for you both! CreditsFlorist:...

I'm thoroughly impressed with Samantha for getting her beautiful family ready for family portraits on the beach for an early morning session...while on vacation!  I'm a bit of a stickler when it comes to the beach and lighting, it has to be early (like sunrise early) or sunset!  Luckily, this day we had a bit of a cloudy start so it gave us little more time. Their little girl was adorable, such a little angel!  It is always fun to follow a toddler around on the beach and see what they will do and how they'll react to the sand and water.  :)

I have that itch again (not from a fire ant!)...I'm ready to go on a trip and explore!  I'm currently sitting at my computer editing and retouching projects and off to the side I have my husband's laptop with Pinterest up while I search for photos of where to go next. :)  I've already calculated the cost and when would be the cheapest time to fly, the big question is where...?  Not really where I want to go, because I want to go everywhere, but where can I convince my husband we should go? ;)   He takes a lot of convincing, so I've taken to texting him photos everyday of various options. So...

Here is a little series of portraits from my last three sessions with this lovely family.  We started out with a Christmas maternity session at Koreshan State Park.  A couple months later I got a few quick shots at the hospital after Baby Girl #2 was born!  A week after that, beautiful baby Elise came in for her portraits and then when she was two months we got the whole family together (or at least at my studio at the same time :) ). I absolutely love seeing families grow...just six years ago we were taking their engagement portraits and here they are now with two gorgeous girls.  Congratulations...

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...

We took a little break from beach sessions to capture Amanda and Anthony's engagement portraits in downtown Fort Myers.  I just love how versatile the River District can be.  And this smoking hot couple was a blast to work with...so photogenic and easy-going! Congratulations Amanda and Anthony...your upcoming wedding(s) are going to be amazing, I'm positive of that. :)  Cheers!
