Koreshan State Park | Jessica Anders | Bohemian Maternity Shoot

Posted in: Conceptual | Family | Portraits | Women

Jessica is a modelmayhem.com model (MM#1310085) who contacted me with an idea for a TF (time for) shoot I would probably not get a chance again to shoot: she was pregnant. I do very little maternity shoots, and when I do, most mommies-to-be don’t dare go as far as what I wanted Jessica to do. It’s very refreshing having someone so open to running with a great vibe and idea. I’m going to try and get my new mommies-to-be to be a bit more adventurous so we can get some beautiful images that will be uniquely theirs. I have been shooting at Koreshan State Park a lot lately, so each time I go there I have to make the images different, meaning if I am at a particular location often, I never take the same images for each new session. I’ll work with what I have, but each session should always be unique to each of my clients. I had a great time with Jessica, shooting with just a very basic kit, my camera and a 35mm f/1.8 (for you gear heads). I think we made some killer images with the sun being our awesome backlight and hair light! More photos after the jump!

Wiggins Pass State Park | Harris Family Christmas Shoot & Maggie Ann turns 2!

Posted in: Family | Portraits

I have known Jessica since I was 16 and in high school, she was one of the leaders of the book club I joined and I later met Kurt a few years later when I started my new position at Collier County – I never put two and two together and that they were married until months after I met Kurt! (This was when MySpace was still popular). A few years after they were married they had a beautiful baby girl and I was honored to be the one to document her first year. It’s still so strange to me walking into a friend/client’s home and seeing MY images on THEIR walls along side other wonderful snapshots of their daily lives. It makes me all warm and fuzzy inside. Maggie Ann turned two yesterday, and my has she grown so big!! Such a sweet girl. We had so much fun playing in the sand and watering plants all morning at a new location I never shot at before: Delnor Wiggins Pass State Park. I’m surprised it was pretty busy for being 8AM! Enjoy how sweet this family is after the jump!

Isn’t this just the sweetest family?

Naples Beach Hotel & Golf Club Beach Access | The Engler Family

Posted in: Family | Portraits

I have reschedule the Englers 5 times in the past two months because of weather, Lindsey and I were starting to think we’ll NEVER have a good weather photo day – then I rescheduled her for the 6th time – this time moving her session up to a Thursday, and lo and behold – it was ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!!! YAY!! The Englers are returning clients, and they love their images, even if each and every time -but this session – the weather had not cooperated. It was like out of a story book: it would be either too cold, too windy, too rainy, or way too hot. Thursday was “just right” for some fun family photos. Enjoy!


Aren’t they all so cute??
