Welcome Brody I Southwest Florida Family Photographer I Fort Myers, FL

I have some pretty strong roots with the Black girls. Katie and I met in 8th grade after I moved to Fort Myers. I can recall our sleepovers and talking about boys and kissing; twenty years later, we are now talking about bottles and babies! Katie and Jake are beautiful together. I walked out of their bungalow after our session feeling giddy that my friend from so long ago has truely married the love of her life and now they have an amazing baby. Brody is so handsome and precious. I can't wait to share these images with the Bristow family and friends!!! Enjoy...



 In love with this blanket that Jake's mom made!!

Addison is so proud of her little cousin... 


This boy is sooooooo handsome!! 

And no newborn session would be complete without a little posing inspiration from Pinterest... Sharing the PG version (LOL). 

 

Happy Fall!

 

I enjoyed the sound of football while I was editing this weekend and indulged in my first Pumpkin Spice Latte of the season. Fall is upon us and you know what that means...  Lots of returning faces and new friends to photograph! We have four newborns, eight+ families, four 1 year birthdays, three mama’s expecting, and two weddings on the calendar for this Fall! It’s going to be busy and we love it! I don’t think we can squeeze any more in- wow!

We will be offering 30 min. sessions on October 6th and October 20th for those that would like portraits in time for the holidays. This is a shorter version of our regular sessions. These spots are reserved for our returning clients and are NOW open to new faces! Just a few spots open… Email hellomollyandmatt@gmail.com for more information.  


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! 

Taran I Southwest Florida Senior Photographer I Fort Myers, FL

Meet Taran, a Class of 2014 senior attending Fort Myers High School.  Matt and I toured downtown Fort Myers with her and were reminded of our "Greenie" roots! Taran had so many playful outfits for our locations ideas. We had such a fun evening photographing Taran and she even offered up her babysitting services for Lil at the end of our session! A special thank you to her mom, Dana, for selecting us to capture this milestone. Our blog post is packed with her GORGEOUS portraits so sit back and enjoy. 

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... 

 


Baby Harper I Southwest Florida Family Photographer I Naples, FL

I have to start by thanking April, Nick's mom, for being the BEST baby wrangler I have ever worked with. We had prior history working together when I photographed Nick's sister, Lindsey and her twins. I showed up at the beach at 7 A.M. and was greeted by April with toys in tow ready to make Harper smile and giggle. Harper was as CUTE as can be but proved to be a little bit of a challenge for the experienced baby wrangler (April) and myself. As the sun rose, her smile finally surfaced and we were able to capture this adorable family in true fashion (#chevron).  I was excited to work with Shea for a couple reasons... We have been Instagram friends for the past year and I have been in love with Harper's cheeks almost as much as my own's daughters! I also knew she had impecable style, hence the chevron skirt and Harper's adorable hair bows.  Here is a peek of a few of my favorite images from the session...

 




 

Expecting Charlotte I Southwest Florida Maternity Photographer I Fort Myers, FL

Congratulations to Sara & Ben who will be expecting Baby Charlotte in October! Sara is a long time friend from high school and we recently reconnected after she moved into our neighborhood.  Their house provided the perfect backdrop to capture family sunset photos before their family of 3 becomes 4. Oliver is going to be a great big brother!



RYAN + CLAY I Southwest Florida Wedding Photographer I Edison Ford Winter Estates, Fort Myers, FL

Married at the Edison & Ford Winter Estates in Fort Myers, Ryan and Clay had a gorgeous ceremony in front of the historic banyan tree with a small group of their friends and family on June 15, 2013.  It was a honor to be a part of their special day and we enjoyed capturing their portraits among the historic homes, romantic gardens, and spectacular river view. 

 

 

So in love...  

Ryan was stunning!

 



 

 

I see a baby bump...

Expecting Lucas I Southwest Florida Maternity Photographer I Fort Myers, FL

I met up with Lupe and her son, Ethan, in early May at Koreshan State Park to capture her baby bump just a few weeks prior to her due date (June 3, 2013) for her second son, Lucas.  We hit if off right away and found out we have a lot in common. Love when I meet new clients that feel like old friends.

Lupe arranged the session to capture these moments as a gift to her husband for Father’s Day. We were on the brink of summer heat at the time and she did an amazing job looking beautiful while still juggling having her son along for the photos.  We’ve all been there with toddler in tow, sometimes they are cooperative and other times they like to run the show. Ethan did great and I thoroughly enjoyed capturing him with my camera.  I hopefully will get to meet Lucas one day soon!

Here’s a synopsis of our shoot… Enjoy!

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! 

Sarah + Chris {engaged} I Southwest Florida Wedding Photographer I Fort Myers, FL

Meet Sarah & Chris and a few simple ingredients for the perfect engagement shoot... 

The outdoors (Koreshan State Park to be exact), Roxy- their adorable Boxer, Chris' beloved truck, and a gorgeous evening on St. Patty's Day set the scene for these two to be the photographed celebrating their upcoming Wisconsin wedding in the Fall. Sarah was so easy to work with a very laid back.  She knew she wanted to have Roxy in a Save-the-Date photo and incorporate Chris' truck in a few shots. The casual couple was a referral from another friend (Caitie & Erik) and actually participated in the Engagement Giveaway (thank you!) last month. Matt and I had a great time working with them and shooting at Koreshan (photographer favorite in SWFL) for the first time! Here are just a few of our favorite shots from the evening.

 

 

 

These two are adorable! 



 

 

 



 

 

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!

 

 

 

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...
