Ft Myers lifestyle family photographer / Gainesville weekend

Well, here I sit in the beautiful smokey mountains just breathing in the amazing majestic beauty! I'm actually in a rocker on a porch overlooking the mountains and not a thing in sight besides gods natural beauty! It is breathtaking and I am so happy to have my camera by my side. I've tried out some landscape photography and love learning new things! I am awaiting the wedding I will photo this weekend. I AM IN HEAVEN!!! 

But this is a photo blog so I have some photos to blog taken from my last trip to Gainesville for my nephew's baptism. I love when I have new models!! I love doing my sweet niece but I overheard her saying this to my daughter after one session... " I'm so glad she's done! Smiling makes my face hurt!!!" Lol... But her smile is so sweet it lights up the camera!

So, I let her have a rest for her sweet face and shoot these family photos from the baptism...

                                                                      Cousins!

The view from the hammock!

More models!  I also got to photo my other brothers family! My newest niece skylar:).

Fort Myers photographer - Vacation- Destination weddings

Next weekend my neice is getting married in Tennessee. It's my first destination wedding and I am so excited!! We decided to take a little extra time since it's a long drive and take some fun family time as well! My kids have no idea of all we have in store and I am bursting with excitement! I know this is a photography post and I will be blogging the wedding but before then I hope to include some great vacation photos as well. The beach is most definatly my happy place, but my love for the mountains is almost as great! On another personal note, I just found out I will be stopping Gainesville on my way home to do newborn photos for my newest neice! Welcome Lillian!!!!:)

Wildflowers

Last weekend we took a trip north to Gainesville. The beauty of the simple wildflowers on the roadsides awed me. I pulled over to take a few pictures. I was trying to hurry since we were on the side of the road which made my kids happy! They said it was the fastest photo shoot ever! Lol... 

Fort Myers Child Photographer | Laura-Marie

Ok, so yes, kids are defiantly my favorite to photograph, maybe. :)  LOL!  If you are following my blog you will know why this is funny and not think I am just crazy, which I am most of the time, but that really was a joke.  I think I'm funny even if no one else does!  :)  I even laugh at myself.  Out loud sometimes too!  But....I have a mama who is anxiously awaiting these pictures so onto the main attraction...Miley and T.J.

 

 These kids were soooo cute and so patient with me!  We had a lot of fun looking for gators, playing tag, dressing up and telling secrets! Its what life is all about!!!!!

 

 

 

 OH. MY. GOODNESS!  I just absolutely love this one!  Her face is just perfect!!!!

 

 I had to include this one because it was just too funny!  T.J. was a riot with his looks!

 

 

Oh those eyes!! 

I love capturing life's little moments.  They are what are truly important and make us the people we will become!  It was fun to step inside these moments for just a bit and see the love these siblings have for each other!

Fort Myers Photographer | High School Senior | Tyler

So, I have decided, I defiantly think maybe doing High School Senior sessions might be my favorite type of session!  :)

 

 

 I absolutely loved this guy's smile!  I'd say he is so cute but that probably doesn't suit a graduating senior.  Tyler was super fun and easy to work with...he even wore a fedora because I asked him too...I didn't post it because he REALLY didn't want to wear it!  LOL

 

 

 

Tyler was a trooper to put up with all my requests. but I think they turned out great!  I love that he brought his guitar and thought the pics with him and his music were both moody and tranquil!  He is off to college soon and I wish him the best for his future!  Thanks Tyler ( and his mom) for letting me document this milestone of your life!  :)

Fort Myers Family Photographer | Lindsey, Jesse and Pup

Finally, I told life to just hang on while I get some stuff done!  So, here ya go Lindsey.  Thanks for you patience, I hope it was worth the wait!  :)

 

 

 

 

 

There was a whole lot of kissing, hugging and hand holding going on during this session!  It was clear to see the feelings these two shared with each other and their new puppy!  Not only is she a cutie, she was super well trained! 

 

 

Golf anyone?  Please?  Please?  Please?  Ill get your ball for you!

 

There is something about this one that I just LOVE! 

 

And there you have it...THE END!
