professional photographer fort myers

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!

Finally getting a full blog up on a wedding instead of just a sneak peek!  And I just had to get this one up here...beautiful couple, beautiful day! Sarah and Brandon tied the knot at The Edison Restaurant.  I have never photographed a wedding at this location before, but definitely hope I do again!   I loved the atmosphere, old Fort Myers feel mixed with Thomas Edison memorabilia.  And then you add in TR Designs who did a fabulous job on the decorations and wedding planning.   If you know me, you know I am a sucker for feathers and Todd used lots!  Swoon! :) The ceremony was outside...

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

I'm currently working on Liz and Ryan's wedding albums...their wedding was at the beautiful Resort at Marina Village.  Their wedding was such a fun affair, Liz and Ryan are not only a gorgeous couple but they are so sweet together!  The day went smoothly, we did a majority of the wedding photos before the ceremony which gave us some extra time to venture around the property and give them plenty of variety.  One of my all time favorite photos came from this wedding...the two of them with Ryan's dad's classic car.  Congratulations and Happy Anniversary Liz and Ryan!

I can't believe it is already Friday afternoon!  It has been another crazy week of editing, shoots and album design...and none of my projects are quite blog ready.  So before I start packing up my equipment for the weekend, I felt the need to put something up here!   I think I will introduce you to my little helper.  She's technically my husband's dog, Baylie, but ever since we started dating, Baylie prefers me :)  She follows me around everywhere, sits smack dab next to me (even while my husband is on the other end of the couch begging her to come sit by him!) and gives kisses away a bit too freely...

Here's Rachel and Willie...or should I say Barbie and Ken? Such a beautiful couple, we had so much fun in downtown Fort Myers capturing these images. I loved the props Rachel brought too...since her husband is a baseball player it seemed appropriate to include some baseball gloves and ball.  And the frame with there special dates...I love this idea whether you include it in a photo or not!  She told me she saw the idea on Pinterest. Mind you I have been holding out for a long time on not joining Pinterest only because everyone tells me that they spend hours on there...I don't have hours to do that! ...

Here's to a week all about LOVE! All of my photoshoots this week have been couples - ranging from boyfriend/girlfriend, engaged, married for 8+ years and married for 50 years (awesome!).  I thought it was fitting that they all happened to have their sittings the week of Valentine's Day.  And in between shoots, I finished up this gorgeous couples print order and once again realized I haven't posted any from their sitting (not surprising, right?! Haha, I'm trying to blog more!). Anyway...here they are! Such an awesome couple, and I'm totally jealous of her super-sweet southern accent (would it be weird...

I have to post a few of these!  My niece, who should be the easiest subject for me to photograph, always makes me work the hardest!  When she was here for her last visit I begged her to let me take a few photos in her owl hat she got for Christmas.  I also bought her the fur vest, but she politely declined the gift! Haha...I guess we don't have the exact same taste!  At least I got her to wear it for a few photos (and yes, I did try to squeeze myself into the vest because I LOVE IT, it didn't work though...).  She's also been losing her teeth, so we naturally had to capture a few toothless...

I had the pleasure of photographing Kathleen and James wedding this past November at Colonial Country Club in Fort Myers.  I loved all the ideas Kathleen told me she was incorporating in her wedding...so artistic and creative!  The wedding day was perfect, everything went smoothly and the weather was ideal.  You have to love Florida in November, my favorite month! Enjoy their images...and congratulations Kathleen and James! Starting off...some of Kathleen's items.  Did you know most brides spend just as much time finding the right shoes as they do their dress (or if you are like me, spent...
