At Last!

Okay…I have been a terrible blogger, with a capital T!  Life moves so quickly and days turn into weeks before my eyes.  I have months and months of fantastic work to post, but what’s sparked my interest in posting this particular post is my bride, Christina.  She and her husband Bobby booked me almost 2 years ago now for their Orlando wedding.  In the months to come, to their frustration, their wedding date and location changed NUMEROUS times…they finally threw up their hands, ran off to Vegas and tied the knot. However, Christina really wanted some beautiful portraits of she and Bobby.  The images posted below are just a few from our session here in Naples.  At last…they are finally married, we finally coordinated a time to photograph this adorable couple and FINALLY we’ve put a blog post!

Happy Birthday Alyssa!

We are officially hosting Photo Parties!  This was our first party and the girls had a blast.  The only one who had more fun than the girls was our new puppy, Brody, who was smothered with love!

I never get tired of shooting at The La Playa Resort in Naples.  This was a beautiful wedding and the bride and groom could not have been nicer.

Senior Session

It is hard to believe that this beauty is only a senior in high school!  She was a natural in front of the camera and we had fun shooting “in studio” and around town.  The only thing more photogenic than Taylor was her sweet little Yorkie…

Meredith & Michael

This engagement session was really fun.  These two are so sweet and absolutely in love with each other which is truly a joy for me to photograph.  Meredith has been incredibly patient with me while I’ve been editing and turning these images around for her.  I hope once she sees the body of work so will think it was worth the wait!  I am lucky enough to be photographing this couple again on their wedding day in July and Meredith I promise I’ll be faster the next session for you!

Renna Beach Session

These kids did a fabulous job during their beach session!  They were super well behaved and seemed to enjoy themselves running around on the beach and playing with each other.  I LOVED watching the dynamics between all three siblings.  This lucky little sister has two wonderful brothers who really watch over and protect her.

The Tenzca Family

This wonderful family had a beach session early one morning a few weeks back.  The kids were such troopers meeting me at 7AM!  The only tricky aspect of this shoot was hiding the cast on dad’s arm…word is that he has a hell of a golf swing.

 



Schmitt Family Beach Session

It was incredibly windy the evening of the Schmitt’s beach session.  So much so that at one point, I remember seeing the mother & father huddled up in a corner behind me while I was photographing the girls.  But for what they had to endure by the wind, it was paid back to them by the sunset!   You couldn’t have asked for a more spectacular evening… those sun beans shining through the clouds were breath-taking…and they have the photos to prove it.
