Baby Adams Adoption Fundraiser

Thrilled to support my friend Jenna and her husband, Bryson, as they raise funds to adopt a baby! Believe it or not, domestic adoption costs can range between $45,000- $75,000+. Although I did not have money to donate to their fund, I did have time and talent and offered to do mini sessions in Jenna’s parent’s back yard for their network of friends. We raised $1,000!

Sharing sneak peeks of some of our fav images from the six families who helped with the cause. Learn more about the Baby Adams Adoption fundraiser here.

Bonita Springs Family Photography | PRICE FAMILY

Sharing the Price family memories during a recent morning on Barefoot Beach in Bonita Springs, FL. Alisa and I have been "Insta-friends" for a while and Kevin and I are connected through the FGCU Alumni Association, so I was looking forward to photographing their beautiful kiddos and Tyler's first birthday cake smash! We had great time together and my favorite part was the mini boom box Kevin and Alisa brought on the beach for Tyler and Myla to dance! In all my years of photographing that was the first time I've ever had that happen and I appreciated it because Matt is so into tunes and brings our music with us every where we go! 

Here's a peek at a few of our fav images... Happy 1st Birthday Tyler!!!!

Pak/Kim Girls | Fort Myers Family Photographer

Love, love, love this family!! We did an early Mother's Day shoot for Sujin while her sister was in town to celebrate Baby Layla's 6 month milestone. What a cutie this little girl is... From her hip wardrobe to her amazing locks, Baby Layla has some style! I'm sure it doesn't help to be from such a chic family of ladies!  Here's a peek at a few of our favs from their session:

Twins: Blair & Patrick I Fort Myers Family Photography

Congrats to Ammi and Max on winning our "Pin It to Win It" promotion! Ammi pinned Summer inspiration items to a Pinterest board that was entered into a drawing for a free photo session.  How cool is that!!?!?!?!  We LOVE Pinterest! Ammi was soooo easy going and excited to have a family photography session to capture her growing twins.

We waited until Blair and Patrick turned 7 months and were sitting up.  Poor Blair had a bug during our shoot and ended up with a fever shortly following our session (you could never tell by the photos below).  They are the CUTEST babies!!!

Hard to believe it's already Fall! Thank you to everyone that participated in the the contest!!! Enjoy a sneak peek at highlights from our time with the gorgeous Meadows family...

Elijah {6 months} I Fort Myers Child Photographer I Fort Myers, FL

Excited to share our latest lifestyle session of the Butcher family in May. Jaime and her husband, Matt, welcomed me into their home to capture portraits of their six month old son Elijah. I immediately hit it off with Jaime as soon as I spotted her in polka dots (my favorite pattern)!! Loved her style and ideas, turns out she is an interior designer! Here's a peek at Elijah- enjoy!

Meet Emma I One Month Photos I Nashville, TN

Pamper yourself, Emma! Your aunt Molly is visiting and there are about to be loads and loads of photo opportunities!

Visiting at your one month mark made for a few challenging attempts to capture the "newborn" images your mom and grandma were lusting after. Once we got into the groove and adjusted our expectations (newborns are much easier to capture sleeping) we did just fine.  You are AMAZING and I am elated I got to spend a week with you at the beginning of your life. 

I always knew you’d be a great mom someday, Hannah. Celebrating the incredible mom you are to Emma and the wonderful aunt you are to Lillian this Mother's Day. 

"All you need is Love"... "You are my Sunshine"... "Emma" and "Made in Nashville, TN".  Such a beautiful space for Emma Louise Lovejoy to grow. Love how all the details came together in Emma's nursery.

We can't get too far into this blog post without a photo for Jake... Enter the soccer ball and blanket made by Laura, Jake's mom.

What did the fox say? She probably could not stop talking about the super cute hat, tale, and booties you are wearing in the photos below made by our mom, Carolyn. Oh my goodness you are ADORABLE!!!!

Love, love, love the photo below. Emma reminds me of Hannah as a baby on the bed.


One more hat made by my mom for Emma- pretty in pink! I can't wait to see you again, Emma! And Lillian is counting down the days to meet you! 

Hot Air Balloon One Year Session I Molly & Matt Photo

I must say I've been wanting to try to create a hot air balloon prop for a session for quite some time. It seemed simple enough and I already purchased an extra large red balloon on clearance at JC Penny around Christmas time.  I collected the rest of my supplies at JoAnn Fabrics which included a basket for the anchor piece, a small basket for the upper section to hold the balloon, 4 wooden dowels, and green chevron fabric. 

The star of my session was one year old Garrett. Adorable as can be! The creation was not baby proof and I will need to do some maintenance if I plan on using it again. It did hold up long enough to capture these cute shots. Maybe I'll do newborn next time!

Thanks for stopping by!!

Love,

Molly

FORT MYERS FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER | Riley + Cole + Ella

It's beginning to look alot like Christmas... Here's a few of our fav pics from a recent session with Riley (almost one 1!), Cole, and Ella at South Seas Resort on Captiva, FL. We grabbed a few fun shots in the Scoops and Slices candy store at the resort then headed to the beach for a beautiful sunset! 

Happy Birthday Kaylee!

The best thing about photographing this little family is they are game to try just about any location or idea I propose.  I got lost one day on MLK and had to make a U-turn down a street and discovered a convenience store with a really cool Coco-Cola mural on the side. I kept that spot in the back of my mind hoping I would one day have the opportunity to shoot there.  I filled an empty Coke bottle with bubblegum and we ventured to the "sketchy" convenience store for some really fun images with Kaylee and her parents. It was so worth it! Kaylee, now two, is used to me following her around with my big camera. Her mom is Lil's teacher at school and this is our third photo sesh together! 

Pennington Family I Southwest Florida Family Photographer I Sanibel, FL

I met up with the Pennington family on Sanibel to capture their son's first birthday milestone earlier this month. Brooke went to high school with us and was a referral from another high school friend that has been following our work from Atlanta (thank you, Eleanor) where the Pennington's reside. We love word of mouth advertising! 

I am in love with so many photos from their session. I remember from high school having the same birthday as Brooke (March 31) AND we also have another thing in common! We both have Boston Terriers (or “BTs” as Brooke calls the breed)! Atticus made an appearance in many of the photos with Brooke, Jeff, and Baby John. We had gorgeous lighting, a beautiful setting, and colorful wardrobe choices! All of my favorite details for amazing pictures. And don’t forget the adorable John in a little boat as the sun was setting on Sanibel. LOVE IT!!!
