Sanibel Family Photography | Pennington Family 2015

I've lost count on how many times I've photographed this Atlanta based family during their beach vacations to Sanibel. Brooke is so easy to work with and it's been a pleasure to watch her little ones (Thomas and John) grow. This session did not disappoint much like all the other beautiful family portraits I've captured for the Pennington's through the years. Here's a sneak peek at a few of my favorite...

Sanibel Family Photography | The Brown Family

Have you every opened an e-mail that made you smile? Of course you have... and I did too when I read about Josh and his family traveling to Southwest Florida on the quest for the ideal photographer to capture his family for a beach shoot. Definitely spoiled, Josh's sister is a photographer in Nashville so he had in mind what he was looking for- a photographer talented in composition, lighting, and posing. Let me clarify on the posing, not the stiff white shirt kind of photographs on the beach, but rather the lifestyle portraits we love to snap. So giving of the compliments before our camera even clicked, I can't wait for Josh and Heidi to see their gallery of photos!

Such a beautiful family, we captured so many memories of the travels to Florida from Ohio... Here are a few of our favorites:

Expecting: Asha + Sean I Sanibel, Florida I Maternity Photographer

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:

Amanda + Peter I Sanibel Engagement

... a giddy in LOVE couple, an ADORABLE toddler, and GORGEOUS light, what more could a photographer ask for?  Maybe a well coordinated family? This blog post has that too!!!  So many amazing images to share from Amanda, Peter, and Cullen's recent sunset photo session at the Sanibel Lighthouse Beach. Amanda was a referral from my Tanglewood Elementary friends (Thank you Kitty and Marisa) and wanted family and engagement photos to use for a Save the Date for their wedding in 2015. Wearing their wedding colors, Amanda and Peter dressed in teal and silver grey- such a stunning combo for beach photos. Congratulations to these two! Enjoy your sneak peek...

McMullen FamilyI Southwest Florida Family Photographer I Sanibel, FL

Like alot of familes we photograph on Sanibel, Libby and her family have been vacationing on the beautiful island for years. She contacted us to capture a few memories on their trip this year and we went back and forth on clothing choices and sunset locations. They stayed at one of our favorite locations to shoot on Sanibel, Casa Ybel and we headed to Captiva for the sunset. Greyson, their 2 year old son, was so expressive and fun. Here's a sneak peek at some of our favorites... 

 


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!!!

Mama Narwhale I Southwest Florida Maternity Photographer I Sanibel, FL

I was really excited when Sarah contacted me to do her maternity photos. I felt honored because I was totally in LOVE with her engagement and wedding photos AND the style of photography that she admires. Our session was an add on to her spring break trip to SWFL for her baby shower in late February. At just 28 weeks, she had the cutest bump and was as radiant as can be. The lighting that we got as the sun rose was absolutely stunning.  Here are a few of my favorites from the shoot...

 

 



 

 

 


 

Frederic Family I Southwest Florida Family Photographer I Sanibel, FL

Love the setting on these photos for the Frederic Family session. We met at Casa Ybel on Sanibel Island. Katie suggested the location- perfect scenery with lush foliage and a gorgeous beach. I had no doubt that Katie would have the family color coordinated. I've always admired her taste in fashion. 

Katie and I have stayed in touch since high school and have even managed a few girls nights out (WITH WINE) away from our hubbys and babies.  It was great to capture their family in action and keep up with Landon! Check out a few of my favorites below...
