outside family photos

I finally got the results back from the competition I entered last month with my local photography guild back in Florida.   I’ve enjoyed being a part of the local SWFL chapter (Professional Photographers of Southwest Florida) of the PPA and FPP for the past 4 or 5 years. This year I served as the Vice President and Program Director, but now with my move to Wyoming, I will be stepping down. Being a part of this group has helped me in all areas of my photography business...but being a part of the competitions we held 3 times a year, definitely helped with me with my skill level. It also allowed...

Christmas is 89 days away!  Which means I get to start decorating next month (yes, I decorate super early!!!).  Which also means it is time to start thinking about your family portraits for the holidays! I just took some photos of my niece with all the fall foliage out here in Wyoming and Montana...so if you want those beautiful fall colors in your family portraits, RIGHT NOW is a great time!  If you want a snowy theme family photo, I have a feeling we only have to wait a week or two. ;)  We can also do studio portraits if you want to keep it inside. Having trouble figuring out what to wear? ...

So my husband and I have officially moved to northwest Wyoming!  I've been out here about a month, getting us moved into our new place and getting the lay of the land.  I must say, I'm in love.  It's amazing to walk out my front door and be surrounded by mountains.  A little different than Florida. ;) (My husband and me in our front yard) (Our dog Baylie isn't too excited about the scarf I made her wear, but despite that she does like it out here...my cat is another story) I got a chance to announce it on my facebook page, but didn't get to blog anything on here.  These past couple months...

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.  :)

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!

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...
