Fort Myers photographer | Family time!

I spent the majority of the day on the computer editing ( A SUPER CUTE SESSION FOR a STORE SIGN), and trying to figure out more about blogging (which I had NO success with). I am now tucked in bed with a bowl of caramel popcorn, one kid rubbing my feet and one kid brushing my hair, watching an old movie calked Stargate....yep, life is very good!  :)  Hope you are enjoying your Monday evening!

Fort Myers Photographer | Colin and Maddy

Last weekend we had the pleasure of meeting this adorable couple!

 

They have had an absolutely whirlwind couple of weeks!  Including finishing school, getting married in Utah, coming to Florida for a east coast reception and moving!  All things that cause large amounts of stress but this couple was so much fun to be with and the love they share was radiant!  Colin was a one man show at times and kept the crown entertained and his beautiful bride beamed with her love for him! 

 

 

We were invited to the home of Colin's parents for a reception.  What an ideal location for an outdoor wedding reception.  Everything was beautiful, the food was great including the mini cupcakes from  Cupcakes in Paradise.  ( www.cupcakesinparadise.com) They were mini, so I had to try all the flavors!  My favorite was French toast!  WOW!!!! I also loved the Snickerdoodle, the red velvet, the mango, the honey....well, lets just say I did not taste one I did not like!  If you need cupcakes, this is the place!  Not to mention...its by the beach:)!

   

 

While we swept the bride and groom off to do pictures by the river, the guests were able to sit back and enjoy live music by Mike Imbasciani.  He was absolutely incredible!  He is an amazing  17 yr old musician who plays blues and classic rock.  Check him out at www.mikeimbasciani.com.

 After Colin finished his entertaining(he did juggling and dancing) we took off for the beach to do a few more shots before the couple headed to Orlando that night to board a plane at 8 am!!  They were beat...but it didn't stop them from laughing, playing, smiling and having a good time!

 

I love what I do!  I love being a part of amazing moments!  It allows me to experience new love and reminds me of  my own once new love and how it has grown!  Life is good!

Wishing Colin and Maddy a happy, successful, love filled future! 

 

Fort Myers Photographer | DONE! I'm a blogger!

I am so excited to have finally gotten this off my to do list and onto my doing/done list!  However, I am technically challenged so please bear with me as I try to work out any issues and learn my way around this new medium!  :)

Fort Myers photographer | Pets!

     Pets are amazing!  They love unconditionally and without question.  We let them into our families and into our hearts and then we are no longer complete without them!  That being said, I have never ventured into the niche of pet photography beyond my own two pets...Oreo and Rolo....

Even with my own pets, I had to enlist the help of my kids to get pets dressed, posed and paying attention.  The kids did a great job and even took the photo below.  They were so excited that I was using it on my new blog!  :)

A few weeks ago I was asked for the first time if I would be willing to try to do family photos with a dog.  I am usually always willing to try new and exciting things and I think the pictures turned out very cute and so did the client.  Here is what I got....

I figured I had done it and done ok and that was that, but then someone else booked a session for family photos with their dog!  Pets are just like kids I photo...wiggly, excitable, and willing to behave for treats!   I am excited to try again and hope this client is just as in love with her photos of her family!  I'll post next week and let you be the judge...:)

Fort Myers Photographer | M&M One Year Old Shoot

I feel it is fitting to use a One Year old birthday shoot to celebrate the birth of my new blog!  As a photographer, I try to keep up with the latest trends in business and blogging is the one thing I had not yet ventured into.  Thanks to my good friend Tiffany over at www.stylestealsandstilettos.com, I have finally got my own blog! 
So, on to the main attraction... Ms. M and Mr. M.!

Obviously we had to do the cake smash last..but it was worth the wait!  These two little gnomes LOVED getting into it!  It was worth it for them too I think!  :)

So to start this session we had a few outfit changes.  The twins were not too impressed with changing clothes, but they both totally rocked the outfits! 

Of course we did some Easter outfits too!  Loved how these turned out!  These smiles are priceless!  If I remember correctly, it was Daddy who got these smiles to come! 

I loved this whole session so it was hard to pick just these few pictures to post but these were some of my favorites!  I'm so happy to have been a part of this moment in their lives!!!  :)
