    Nodarse Kids {Marathon Family Photographer}

    It’s been a few years since I’ve taken photos of these two and this time there were no parents or pug puppies in the pictures.  I can’t believe how old these 2 look all of a sudden.  Kids, especially boys in their teenage years, aren’t typically wild about photo sessions so we try to make them as quick, relaxed and painless as possible.   We tried a new local location for these.  I loved the wooden walkway!  Next time, I’m hoping Mom, Dad and the pups will come too.

    The Jasovic Family {Florida Keys Family Photographer}

    I absolutely love getting to meet the different families that come into town and want to get family photos.  This small family came from Illinois and were staying at a local campground with their twins.  Originally they were going to bring their pup, so I brought my eldest son along in case I needed him to hold a leash.  It turns out the pup didn’t make the photo session so my kiddo didn’t need to make the trip, but I’m glad he did.  The little bond he formed with the twins was so cute.  He had them cracking up!  He even got to put them in their carseats and take selfies with them.  When he heard they’d be coming back next year, he said, “that’s awesome!”  I can’t wait to see how much they’ve grown in a year.

    Tingler Vacation Rental {Marathon Photographer}

    While the majority of my photography involves kids or families, every now and then I get the opportunity to photograph homes/resorts and their various landscapes.  Since I don’t need to worry about squinty eyes for these pictures, I can wait and pick the picture perfect outdoor lighting for these.  Don’t you just love the view from and of this pool? I wanted to jump in!

    This is a vacation rental by owner right here in Marathon, within walking distance of Sombrero Beach.

    The Johnson Family {Marathon Family Photographer}

    The Johnson family arrived from several different states for the holidays and were interested in a reunion family photo.  With 3 kids under the age of 4 (2 under 2 years), I brought in one of my assistants to help.  Originally, we were going to do the session at Sombrero Beach, but when we arrived there were so many people that we couldn’t find a spot.  In all the years I’ve been doing this, THAT was a first for me.  So, we opted to change venues and quickly adjusted locations.  After we got a few posed group photos and some photos of the individual families, we let the kids run around on the beach a bit while I captured some candid shots.

    1st Birthday Smash {Marathon Children’s Photographer}

    I can’t believe I missed wishing this little girlie a Happy 1st Birthday.  When she came to visit for her 6 month photos, I was amazed at how happy she was.  And, even though Mom and Dad had to work for these 1st Birthday smiles, she was still a dream.  It’ll be fun to watch her grow.
