I am still playing catch-up with the blog. I met up with this beautiful family earlier in the year. It was a gorgeous day for a photo session, especially for this family, who had escaped to Siesta Key’s white sandy beaches from their own white stuff, just the colder variety.
This year, I’ve been blessed to help document many visiting families’ vacations. Capturing families, especially extended families, when on vacation is a little different than a typical family session. They tend to be more carefree allowing for the love and connections to really shine through. The “S” family was certainly no exception.
Still playing catch-up after a busy fall and early winter. Meet the “S” family. It is such a refreshing delight to see true, happiness and contentment. The “S” family celebrated a long holiday together, grandchildren playing in the sand with grandparents, children splashing in the water with mom and dad, and really, just Living and loving life. Thanks for the opportunity to help document your memories. Here are some of their favorites, with a few of my favorites thrown in.
I met up with Marcie, Russ and little Mason at the Ritz Carlton Beach Club just as a cool front was moving through the area. It was a little windy, but the skies were stunning and so full of amazing color. There’s nothing quite like a sunset over the Gulf. Despite Mason not feeling well, we were able to capture these beautiful images. It truly was a pleasure photographing this family. Thank you for rolling with the punches, staying calm, and making the experience a positive one!
This family is one of the first “strangers” I ever photographed while Kelly and Bobby were pregnant with Taylor and I look forward to their sessions each and every year. I have had the extreme pleasure of helping to document each year in their family’s life including Taylor’s first Christmas , and second Christmas . I am thrilled I get to watch Taylor grow up into the smart, adorable, sweet little girl! This family truly is special.
Last night, while working off the wakefulness my dinner iced- tea caused, I realized I never blogged this gorgeous family beach session. I have known Vilma since High School, but haven’t seen her in at least a decade. It was great to catch up with her and her gorgeous family while they were vacationing in Sarasota.
I couldn’t wait to post just one sneak peek of GiGi. There will be more to come, but in the mean time, check out this beautiful baby girl!
I absolutely love to watch a baby grow. Davis is one of my baby plan babies. You may remember his sweet face from last fall when DAVIS was just three months old. Well, this little guy has grown a lot since then, and he is full of personality. His eyes, and dimples, and big, two-tooth smile can certainly work some magic on me. He is sure to be a real heart-breaker. Thanks Jamie and Spencer, it was great to spend an early morning at the beach with your family. Until next time…
I am often a part of milestone celebrations for babies and young children, both professionally and personally. Seems though, as we get older, those milestones tend to be less celebrated and almost dreaded. I was fortunate enough to celebrate Mary and her big milestone birthday this year. Her one wish – a photo session celebrating some of her biggest gifts, her family. Her prized Yellow Submarine even made an appearance in some of the images. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your memories.
They say that the Third time is the charm. Well, it was certainly true in this case. This was our third trip to the beach, in attempt to capture the “F” family. We were completely rained out the first two times by the infamous Florida summer afternoon thunderstorms. We weren’t risking it this time and went for a sunrise portrait session instead. Getting three children under three and a teen-ager out the door for anything is a challenge, but getting to a portrait session with clean, happy children is monumental! I think your efforts paid off. Enjoy your sneak peek!
