Hello Tristin I Fort Myers Newborn Photographer I Fort Myers, FL

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...

fORT MYERS FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER | The Kim/Pak Family

One of the best things about doing portrait photography is truely the people you get to capture. The laughter, the smiles, the love and relationships within a family. Bona, our dear friend, was down visiting for Thanksgiving and arranged a photo shoot for her and her sister, Sujin, and their mom, Rosa. Bona's mom had been wanting photos for quite some time so they were really excited to have us behind the camera. We fit the photos into their busy schedule before Rosa rushed off to her restaurant, Origami, and Sujin to NAMI.

We got what we were looking for with every session: emotion, laughter, fun, FASHION, and most of a snapshot in time of who these ladies have become and just how special they are to each other. I think we nailed it! 


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! 

FORT MYERS FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER | Romine Family

It's almost Thanksgiving so I thought I'd share a family I'm thankful for working with...  

The Romine family came to us as a referral from another client, Tessa LeSage (thank you!!!). They were looking for a local photographer to work with, as they have been traveling to the other coast for the past few years to get their family photos taken.  Could I be the lucky local photographer to fulfill their "artsy fartsy" style? It turns out I was and Jonathan, Megan, and Ava were so easy to work with and had a fun color scheme amongst the beauty of Koreshan State Park. Sharing highlights from their session this week!

Have a great holiday and thank you for all of our clients for your love this past year!




Rock the Shot I Sanibel Bicycle Family

Totally in love with this session and this shot!  It's artsy, creative, and so this family.  This is the second time I have photographed them and we have become really great friends. They knew they wanted something out of the ordinary so we decided to rent bicycles on Sanibel Island, Florida. Tessa put together a primary color clothing pallette for her family and even managed to rent bikes to match- all planned! This shot was an opening on the bike path that I wanted to grab and when I walked out to look in I saw the word BIKE on the side walk- how perfect! I took several images and really ended up liking this one with them out of focus. I included a shot below of how low I ended up going to get the perspective I wanted. Not the normal family portrait at all but it will make a cool canvas in their house! I processed it using Lightroom and Nik Software.

Blooming Family I Southwest Florida Family Photographer I Fort Myers, FL

Lisa or "Blooming Mommy" and I met while attending college years ago and ended up taking our child birth class together back in 2010 before her Bella and my Lil were born. Now three years later, Lisa and her husband Junior have a family of four with little brother Isaiah added to the mix! Over the last several years we've kept in touch and I was so excited when she asked me to take her family photos. We had to reschedule a few times because of the rain and our busy lives but we finally picked an early Sunday morning to meet up at Lakes Park before Junior headed to a Bucs game (a fav family past time).  Enjoy a sneak peek at a few of my fav images from the session! Did I mention that they are one the sweetest familes ever...

 

Lundbohm Family I Southwest Florida Family Photographer I Fort Myers, FL

I had such a great time photographing the lovely Lundbohm family. Last time I worked with Sabrina, we were capturing Ellie's one year photos. At our session on Sunday, Weston had just celebrated his fourth birthday. Our little ones are growing up so fast! Sabrina has already started talking about another date this Fall to freeze time! 

Hello Baby I Fort Myers Newborn Photographer I Fort Myers, FL

Meet baby Madison...

Amy and Scott welcomed this little bundle of joy into their world on August 3th, 2013. Baby M could be a model baby for her mom's shopping habit on Etsy! Amy selected many cute outfits for our portrait session including a mermaid tail and top, a butterfly ensemble as well as a peach ruffle romper for Madison. My favorite thing about lifestyle newborn photography is capturing the wonder and amazement of new parents. Memories of this time frame often become fuzzy for new parents and that is precisely why I feel these types of shoots are so important. Here are some of my favorite images from our time together...

 






 

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!!!

 

 

 
 

 

 

 

Riley {7 months} I Southwest Florida Child Photographer I Fort Myers, FL

Always a sweet treat to photograph milestones in the same family. I did Riley's newborn photos earlier this Spring as well as Danielle's wedding (Justin's sister) in March.  I had to laugh because I noticed Stephanie's Facebook update that day read: "Rain, rain go away, it's picture day." Shooting in Florida is so unpredictable during the summer; the morning of our session it was super cloudy and to projected rain. We decided just to go for it and work around the weather. Thank goodness for the pavilions at Lakes Park for keeping my props and camera equipment dry between showers! I think we did really well considering the conditions and Riley was smilely as she could be and ADORABLE to boot!!


 



Pomeroy Family I Southwest Florida Family Photographer I Fort Myers Beach, FL

Welcome to Florida, Pomeroy Family!!

 Such a sweet family with gorgeous girls!! Caty was a joy to work with AND I loved their choice of colors for the session. Here's a sneak peek of their family vacation in Southwest Florida... 

I dared Audrey to throw oranges at me and she did!!! It made for a cute shot and luckily she missed! 


Caty davels in photography is her spare time and I wanted to make sure to get her in front of the camera with her girls since she is usually the one taking the photos...

Loved the colors in this session... Here is a color swatch from their family photo:


Such a great combo!



Tiny toes...

My mom made the mermaid tail last year and this seemed like the perfect session to incorporate it into. Riley certainly loved it and was the star of the beach!!! 

Valerie + Jesse ♥ Aubree I Southwest Florida Family Photographer I Fort Myers, FL

Thank you to Valerie & Jesse for inviting me to capture their little family! Their daughter, Aubree, just reached the six month milestone. She was facinated with my camera and was not shy about keeping eye contact with me the whole time. 

Valerie wanted color in this session, and she got it! The flowers were in bloom and served as a gorgeous backdrop for the session. And oh my goodness, V + J's love for one another is evident in the photos below... These two are adorable!

 

Schmidt Sisters I Southwest Florida Family Photographer I Fort Myers, FL

 

Here's a sneak peek at the Schmidt Family session from this past weekend... I'm in love with so many of the images from our time together. It was hard to pick just a few!

 

And a few more that make me smile...

And last but not least, we ended our session in the library with a few quick snapshots of the girls exploring their favorites books! 

LeSage Family I Southwest Florida Family Photographer I Fort Myers, FL

Shaing some of our favorite images from the recent photo session in Downtown Fort Myers with Tessa, Colin, Penelope, & Miles.  The weather was surprisingly cold for March, but everyone still had smiles! It was a pleasure working with the LeSage family, especially since we have so many friends in common, it was probably just a matter of time before we connected =)!

 

Including a color palette (below) featuring the colors they selected for their outfits. Tessa worked hard to coordinate 4 people and even adapted to the cold weather with running to Old Navy at the last minute to look for jackets that would match. Love the combination of green, lavender, coral, and denim!
