Today is mass editing day! Trying to get to quite a bit of editing that is piling up, but…in between editing, just wanted to throw a few photos up here from some of my latest shoots. These two sisters are such adorable subjects! While the little one was having a bit of a rough day, the older hammed it up! Seriously so cute!
Yes…towards the end of the shoot, it was getting pretty tragic for someone! Such huge crocodile tears!
Last weekend this amazing wedding took place. And despite the chilly cold front that brought some intense winds, we were still able to get some fabulous photos of this gorgeous couple! Congratulations you two! More to come soon 
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 if I tried out a southern accent?!)!
Starting off with my favorite 
And ending on one of my favorites…I love it when the man can make her smile!
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 smiles
My trick with her is to let her come up with her own poses… they are always very interesting and creative (below I believe we have confused, cold and mad)
And when we finished her photoshoot that was “way too long” in her opinion, she decided she was going to be the photographer and I would be her subject. So we tried a few, she had some hilarious ideas…all of them entailed me posing with her bird and bear.
To my dear sweet niece…you make me smile!
Baby Joseph is now 6 months old! I’d have to say 6-7 months is probably my most favorite age to photograph for babies. They can sit up, but not run away! And Joseph was such a ham to photograph. I will probably not show these photos to the hubs in fear of him getting baby fever, haha! Anyway…here is some of Joseph’s awesomeness. Get ready to “awwww” over this precious little guy!
(and yes, Joseph is ready for Easter!)
So I’m gearing up today for a busy wedding month. Yay, go marriage! My wedding tomorrow is at the lovely Plantation Golf and Country Club in Fort Myers. I was looking at some weddings I did last year there and I realized I never blogged about Jenna and Kyle’s amazing wedding day (oh no!)! This wedding was spectacular! It was all in the DETAILS! Jenna’s mom is uber talented (I know it isn’t a word, but ‘very’ doesn’t cut it!). I wanted to hire her to help me with my wedding…and I did steal their aisle runner idea, LOVE!
Jenna and Kyle were hilarious, at one point as I was posing them and taking the photos, I heard one of them complaining about the mega garlic/onion breath of the other. Haha…oh my! But they also wrote their own beautiful vows that could make any tear up a bit, so sweet.
One more quick note…they choreographed their own first dance, wow! It was amazing! I was told Jenna used to be a dancer for the Orlando Magic, go figure!
It always starts out so nice…. then BAM, you have a face full of cake
Congratulations Jenna and Kyle! It was such a pleasure photographing your wedding, cheers!
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 more time finding the shoes!)? Just a fun fact and I had to point out Kathleen’s shoes…love them! She was a stunning bride!
This is my absolute fav…I just love it!
And now on to Happily Ever After…
It is already the end of 2011! And before I close out the year I wanted to end on a quick sneak peek of a truly lovely wedding I photographed earlier this week. Carey and John have such a sweet story and I enjoyed learning about them and how they met. Congratulations to you both! And Happy New Year to everyone! I pray everyone will have a wonderful new year! Cheers and stayed tuned for some new and exciting changes coming up in 2012. Cheers!
I feel old. This wonderful young man I can actually remember when he was a baby. He has always been my dear friend’s little brother…and now he has grown up! Where does the time go? I fear there may be many more posts like this, haha! Anyway, it was a joy to do Joshua’s senior photos. I had a lot of fun and Josh..well he was super patient. I can’t imagine that taking senior photos is many guys highlights, but I’m excited he hung in there until the end! We covered a lot of ground in the River District (which by the way is decorated for Christmas already, yay!!) and then finished up in my studio. Such a handsome young man, but more importantly I was so impressed with what a mature person he has become, so grounded in his faith. The necklace he sported was something he got when he was on a missions trip to Haiti. I love seeing this next generation pouring themselves into other people. Congratulations Josh, all the best as you finish up high school!
I just realized I haven’t blogged any weddings in a LONG time! We’ve had so many this year and I always feel that when I blog I need to write a little something about their day…and if you follow my blog you know writing isn’t my strong point This wedding was back in May and was the start of 7 weddings we had in less than 5 weeks. It was a busy, but very fun month. We started in Fort Myers, went up to Pennsylvania, back down to Sanibel and Captiva, Fort Myers Beach, then Key West and then ended back at Fort Myers Beach for the last few.
So back to Jennifer and Josh…what a sweet couple! The ceremony and reception took place at Plantation Golf and Country Club. I love this property, the inside has such a classy elegant feel and the outside is beautiful greens, woods, etc. Never a shortage of great backgrounds. And the bridal party was a blast (and great sports despite the heat!) as they played around on the golf carts. What a great start to a new life…congratulations Jennifer and Josh! I wish you many years of happiness!
