    Holiday Sessions 2013 {Florida Keys Family Photographer}

    Every year around the end of October, I start offering shorter sessions for a reduced price.  I do this to allow families to update their holiday photos for cards or gifts.  This year, I photographed almost 30 families in about 5 weeks.  It was busy, but I enjoyed it alot.  I got to see toddlers that I hadn’t seen since their newborn sessions and families I hadn’t seen since the year before.  I tried to get a picture from each session for the slideshow below.  Check them out below.

    Blair & Michael {Duck Key Wedding Photographer}

    When Blair contacted me about capturing her wedding with Michael earlier this year, I jumped at the opportunity.  I knew she’d be a gorgeous, fun bride and that the wedding ceremony would be beautiful.  Nestled in the backyard of a private residence in Duck Key, Blair and Michael said their “I Dos” in an intimate ceremony before heading next door to Michael’s parent’s backyard for a awesome reception.  The ceremony was beautiful and the reception was filled with lots of people who obviously love these two very much.  We took a brief party break to get some shots at various locations throughout Duck Key before returning for the “First Dance” and a few toasts.  I’m honored to have been a part of this special day.

    Relax – {Florida Keys Wedding Photographer}

    Last weekend I had the opportunity to photograph the beautiful home wedding of Candice and Casey.  Candice and Casey are from the middle of the state and decided on a wedding/honeymoon combo in the Florida Keys with family and close friends.  Though there was more than a 50% chance of rain in the forecast for most of the day, the weather cleared and held off for for a gorgeous ceremony between these two ladies.  The ceremony took place at a private, rented residence right on the Atlantic Ocean and included a brief sand ceremony.  Immediately following the ceremony, we took some quick family pictures utilizing the beautiful floral arrangement provided by Flowers by J&J along with the arbor provided by Mile Marker Party Rentals.  On our way to the reception dinner at Cabana Breezes, we took some pictures at Sunset Park on Key Colony Beach.  Here are a few of my favorites from the evening.  Congratulations Candice and Casey!

    The “F” Family {Florida Keys Family Photographer}

    Periodically I’m contacted by families that have come in from out of town for a reunion of sorts and would like to get some updated family photos.  I’m a sucker for these sessions because as the smaller families are created and grow, the opportunity for full family photos with gramma and grampas becomes more difficult.  I encourage any family to get pictures as often as the whole family can be together, and sometimes this means getting them done while on vacation.  The “F” family of 12 came from all over the country and was full of spunk (and Nick’s….I think there were 4 of them).  Gramma and Grampa wanted some full family shots as well as some of just the grandkids and their families as well.  Since they were staying at Hawks Cay, we used the resort for our landscape.  What a beautiful facility for a wonderful family.  If you’re coming to town and your whole family will be together, think about getting some updated family photos while you’re here.

    Miss P {Florida Keys Newborn Photographer}

    I’ve been anxiously awaiting the arrival of Miss. P because I haven’t had a little girl newborn in a while (lots of little boys).  I’ve known P’s mom and dad for years so I knew they’d be up for anything I wanted to try.  P’s daddy is a pilot so we were able to throw in some airplane themed shots with some props mommy brought.  Isn’t she adorable in the shots below?  Mommy also didn’t want too much pink so we stuck to the more gender neutral colors.  I love the shots we got and can’t wait to watch Miss P grow up.
