Returning to Bonita Beach, FL for a serene maternity session with the Defebo family. Megan was STUNNING and we had a blast with her 2.5 year old daughter, Athena. We can’t wait for you to meet your little one on the way. Congratulations!
I enjoyed my time with the Duran Family for a maternity photo session on Sanibel Island! Here’s is a sneak peek before their newest family member arrives this summer!
Congratulations to Carrie and Wes on Baby #3! Practicing 6 feet of social distancing, we met just as Florida opened the beaches back up. We are excited to see your family of boys multiply! Such a fun bunch that always keeps me on my toes. I was thrilled when Carrie asked to have her maternity photos on Fort Myers Beach. I know salty sunsets are their fav family activity!!

Congrats to Beth and Jake on their second baby on the way! Always a joy to photograph this family!
Just a year ago I was blogging Athena and Scott's wedding photos (click here to see!!!) and now they are expecting a little one in July! So excited for to these two! Of course I had to take her maternity portraits while she was visiting Fort Myers. We started on McGregor Blvd. near the famous GOD IS LOVE sign and followed the light as many of my sessions do and ended at FSW. My beautiful friend of so many years rocked the shoot with her bohemian style and amazing baby bump. Glowing at 33 weeks, Athena will endure the anticipation a few weeks longer... Best of all her and Scott do not know the gender yet of there little one!!
Behind the camera with Athena!!! So excited for you!!

Yet another maternity session!!!
It seems everyone is expecting... including my gorgeous friend, Asha. Due in February, I met up with her and Sean (daddy-to-be) for sunrise portraits on the island. I must say the couple was brave smiling and giggling their way through the 48 degree weather (cold for Florida!!!). You can tell these two are soooo in love and are counting the days until they meet their little one. Also a photographer, Asha was glowing in front of the camera and was stunning among the sunrise, sea grapes and sandy beach of Sanibel. Here's a sneak peek at their baby bump session:
You might recognize these two from the first wedding we ever photographed back in 2012!! Three years later, Chiara is expecting! Baby Sophia is set to arrive early February. We are excited to meet her and had a blast capturing capturing your last few weeks as a family of two. Here's a sneak peek at their old Florida inspired maternity session..
I had the honor of attending (with camera) the Thompson's baby shower at the White Orchid on December 7th. The shower had over 60 guests and almost reminded me of a wedding. The details were amazing! Jaimee and Craig are expecting twins (Jude & Eiselee) in March 2015, a boy and a girl. The committee of Debbie Strachan, Meredith Strachan, Holly Crider, Kelly Lean, Aime Rowland, Shavon Chester, Beth Browder, and Alyssa Duffy did not disappoint as hostesses. So thoughtful and planned, the shower had nautical items from Jaimee's Pinterest boards through out the house, a DIY onsie making station, a block designing table, and an area to create bow ties for Jude and hair bows for Eiselee. Guests sipped cocktails from fun mason jars as they perused the gift display table (lucky babies!!) and left books for the twins at the entrance of the shower. The celebration even had it's own hashtag #thompsontwins2015. Jaimee and I are close Instagram friends so I thought that was very fitting! Just a beautiful day all around... This couple has so many loving family & friends counting down the days to the arrival of the twins. Congratulations and we can't wait to meet Jude & Eiselee!
Elated to share Kim and Mark's recent maternity session at Koreshan State Park on the blog this week. The couple has waited a LONG time to be EXPECTING and I was so excited to capture this special time in their lives. Baby Bocelli will arrive in December. I will say it's a BOY but the name is still a secret... We had a blast together and Mark is always good for laughs. Kim wanted a few shots including the adorable shoes and belly + ring photo below.
Fell in love with this spot and the beautiful light that we captured. Also loved Kim's choice of clothing for the entire session. She looked radiant and all belly!
Sanibel Lighthouse Beach, Florida
Congratulations to these two! After a LONG wait they are expecting AND we could not be any more excited for them!! I've known Janska (Jessica) for a few years and was honored when she asked me to take her photos at 28 weeks. A few rain drops, a couple toddler tantrums (Lil was my assistant for the evening), and hundred bug bites later... their maternity session hits the blog! Enjoy a peek at our favorites.
I traveled north this past weekend to meet up with my old college friend, Jenny, and her husband, Joe, for some destination maternity photos on Boca Grande, FL. I had my sights on Banyan Street and knew I wanted to use my wide angle lens to capture the beauty of the trees. We hit the beach just after sunrise, stumbled upon a fun peace wreath on a colorful door, and explored a local church for stunning images of these two. Can't wait for the arrival of Baby Benitz in a few weeks!
Special thank you to Lisa Cotto for styling Jenny for our session. Clothing from Green Street Boutique in Bonita Springs, FL.
Congrats Jenny!
Congratulations to Sujin and Brian on their upcoming arrival of Baby Pak!!!! Matt, Lil, and I enjoyed their shower and had the opportunity to capture a few baby bump photos while we were in attendance. Sujin is just glowing!
So excited for Mile, Lesly, and Miss Victoria to welcome a baby BOY on the way! T-minus two weeks till we meet the little man! Here's a sneak peek at their riverside family session at the Snell Park this past weekend.
Congratulations to Stacy and Shon on their upcoming arrival of baby Camden. I photographed Stacy's GORGEOUS maternity photos at the White Orchid in Fort Myers before her chic baby shower hosted by her Aunt, Doreen. Here's a sneak peek...
The Chabin's are expecting! Amanda is looking gorgeous & radiant as she awaits the arrival of her son later this April. We met up at Barefoot Beach in Bonita Springs for the couple's maternity photos. I took them on a little adventure (#callsecurity) as we made our way (#wrongway) to the sunset that evening. Here's a look at Amanda's baby bump (#sneakpeek)...
Expecting parents, Tony + Meghan Falcon, are looking forward to meeting their daughter, Lucy, in early April 2014. We captured Meghan's GORGEOUS baby bump at LOVE BOAT Ice Cream which made for a colorful and fun back drop for maternity portraits. Here's a peek at a few of our favorites:
I traveled to Atlanta for my sister’s baby shower last weekend and had the opportunity to take maternity photos of her cute belly at just 28 weeks! We had harsh conditions, a temperature of just 27 degrees!!! Very cold for a Floridian! Luckily we stumbled upon a fun antique store to warm up. We shopped and we laughed as I captured Hannah’s beauty and mother-to-be radiance among the treasures and trinkets in Marietta, GA. She had her shower with friends and family that afternoon and we took a few more photos after the party as the sun set and the temperature began to drop again. A special thank you to Emily, Hannah’s sister-in-law, for chasing the sun and finding the perfect spot for the shoot!
We can't wait to meet Hannah and Jake's baby in April (#expectingemma). So excited for you guys!
Drum roll please... Tristin Thomson Silvashy is here !! All BOY at 10lbs, 9oz, and 22 inches. The Silvashy family welcomed him into the world on December 22nd, 2013. We met up just before the Florida State Seminoles won the National Championship and I captured a few adorable shots of Tristin and Sam in their FSU shirts. Tristin's dad is a rugby player and also happens to be a personal trainer so we photographed him with Ron's ball and weight. Here's a peek... Congratulations Rhiannon and Ron!
And a few favs from just before Tristin's arrival in November...
