    Holiday Session 2015 {Florida Keys Family Photographer}

    Each year around the end of October, I start offering shorter family sessions for a reduced price.  The sessions are about 20 minutes which is a little more manageable for everyone around the holidays.  I do this to allow families to update their holiday photos for cards or gifts.  This year, I started these mini sessions at the beginning of October in hopes of avoiding some of the November wind (and sometimes rain) that we get down here.  I photographed more than 30 families in about 6 weeks.  It was certainly a busy time, but I enjoyed it alot.   I tried to get a picture from each session for the slideshow below.  Which is your favorite?

    Best of Marathon {Marathon Photographer}

    I was honored to be selected as one of the 3 finalists for the “2015 Best of Marathon,” and so grateful to receive the “Best Photographer” award at last night’s presentation. During the past 10 years of photographing in the Keys, I have discovered how rewarding, fulfilling, and fun it is to capture those special moments of some very special families. From behind the camera I’ve witnessed the nerves of engagements, the exchange of vows, met and photographed newborns, and enjoyed growing families. I appreciate those of you who took the time to vote for me. Thank you, Marathon, for allowing me to capture your special times!

    Reunion of sorts {Marathon Family Photographer}

    One of my favorite sessions to photograph are those where family members meet from all over the country and want to capture the moment of togetherness.  We get photos of parents with kids, grandparents with grandkids, individual familes, cousins, sisters, brothers and anything else we can think of while we move along.  This was one of those sessions.  6 adults and 3 kids made for a fun group.  We captured everything they hoped and even ended the session with a few sunset colors.  Speaking of colors, I’m loving the coral in these!

    Upcycled {Florida Keys Children’s Photographer}

    Looking back over these from last week and I’m really loving the way they turned out. The vintage outfits belonged to baby’s momma so I wanted the session to feel aged or upcycled a bit.  Since Mom didn’t grow up down here, we didn’t want a beach or palm tree type setting.  We spent some time in a field and after getting pretty warm decided to head back to the house.  You can see that the baby really warmed up once she was in a familiar environment.
