When the ceremony is over and party has begun, the first dance is often the only alone time couples may have with each other for the whole day. This is a favorite moment for me to photograph couples because the photos feel capture the intimacy. This is when we can see the couple whispering or [...]

This mother & son team were such a pleasure to photograph and watch their interaction. How can you not love a child who asks his mother dance simply out of the blue? Gina used to vacation down here in the Naples/Marco area when she was a little girl, and she was fulfilling a promise to [...]

Hands down, this image from The La Playa is one of my recent favorites. The story behind this photo is that Alison and Greg wanted to do some pictures before their ceremony in order for them to be able to enjoy their post-ceremony, cocktail hour with their guests. We set up a “first look” for [...]

In some ways, the Brits have it all over us Americans. For starters, they do not spend years wasting time and money on their elections because they keep it all within the family. The Royal Family that is. Who wouldn’t want Prince William to be head of their country some day! I’m in my mid-30’s and even [...]

Okay people…If you haven’t started thinking about your holiday cards by now, you are well behind the curve. Now, I am not one who loves celebrating Christmas year round and in fact, still cannot understand how ‘Ye Olde Christmas Shoppe’ is able to stay in business January through November. However, the family holiday card takes time. There [...]

I am lucky that in my job, I am able to visually see and document how kids grow and change from year-to-year. I photographed The Pearls for the first time last year for their holiday card, and so it is really fun for me to have the chance to create something new for them again this year. [...]

This wonderful family was photographed yesterday morning here in the studio. The goal was to capture the brothers together and individually with each of their parents. I love so many of the photos of the children interacting with their parents. These are the images that seem very intimate to me. It’s as if I am getting to see a glimpse inside [...]

Any couple who dances their first dance to Journey is A-OK in my book. This wedding took place last week at The Naples Grande. It rained all day long so unfortunately their beach ceremony was moved inside the hotel. Kelly & Jon took the change of venue in stride and as a result we were able to take [...]

Last night the staff of Heather Donlan Photography hosted a party to celebrate the opening of our new studio and gallery in Old Naples, FL. Personally, I love any excuse to throw (or go to) a party. After months of renovating our new space, it did not take much arm-twisting to host,(as my father described), one [...]

My dear friend and fellow photographer, Becca Eiland, is due to have her third child. It was my pleasure to have the opportunity to photograph she and her growing family this past week. So, early Sunday morning, Becca and family loaded up from Miami and came over to my Naples studio. All together we had four girls [...]
