    Best of Marathon – 2018 {Marathon, FL Photographer}

    Thank you! Thank you! Thank you again! I am honored to have been voted as Best Photographer in this year’s Best of Marathon awards.

    The last 13 years of photographing in Marathon have truly been special to me. I’ve enjoyed capturing many very special moments for some very special families. From engagements and the exchange of vows to squishy newborns, graduations and growing families, thank you for continuing to let us capture it all. Thank you also to my amazing assistant (Ginger Sayer) who, in addition to being the best dog whisperer, tambourine player and sunglass holder, does a fantastic job making sure this small business keeps running. Thank you to the Marathon Rotary Club and The Weekly Newspapersfor hosting this fun event last night.

    Starkey Family {Marathon, FL Family Photographer}

    So fun to see friends from high school all grown up and with a family. I photographed the older brother 4 years ago and got to meet the little guy this weekend!  We did get the parents in a few shots, but those will have to wait for sharing.

    Best of Marathon – 2017 {Marathon, FL Photographer}

    Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I am honored to have been voted as Best Photographer in this year’s Best of Marathon awards.

    During the past 12 years of photographing in Marathon, I have enjoyed capturing the very 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 squishy newborns, and enjoyed growing families. Thank you also to my amazing assistant (Ginger Sayer) who, in addition to being the best dog whisperer, tambourine player and sunglass holder, makes sure all the wheels of the business keep turning. Thank you to the Marathon Rotary Club and The Weekly Newspapers for hosting the event.

    I appreciate all of you who took the time to vote for me and, as a thank you, I’d like to provide a session to a family, business or individual that could use it. Do you know someone that could use a free session? Please send me a private message with their information and I’ll take it from there.

    Mattie {Florida Keys Senior Photographer}

    This session had a little bit of everything.  Mattie isn’t a local Marathon High School senior but she and her family spend a considerable time down in Marathon so they wanted some family photos, best friend photos and a few senior photos on the beach.  No problem at all!  We started with a few of the sisters while we waited for the rest of the family to get ready.  Then got the family photos taken care of and dismissed a few to head to dinner.  We ended with some fun senior photos (including some with Mattie’s best friend) and a few of her sister and her sister’s best friend.  The weather was perfect for these, especially considering it’s August!  It was warm, but could’ve been so much worse.

    Reef {Marathon Children’s Photographer}

    Mr. Man is graduating from Pre-K and heading to the big boy school next year.  Mom had some fun ideas for photos that she plans to duplicate SEVERAL years from now when he’s a senior in high school so she wanted a quick session for him.  Isn’t his shirt cute? These were taken at Tranquility Bay in Marathon where the weather cooperated 100%.  I love when that happens!  The weather, combined with the personality of this little pistol made this session a lot of fun.  We actually took several more photos than we intended (even some family photos), but when you have Dad and Mom around too, what’s a photographer to do?  Oops!

    Noah {Marathon Senior Photographer}

    What a cool young man.  I almost wrote “kid.”  He’s not a kid though.  Noah is a member of the Marathon High School class of 2017 and will head off to school in Michigan this fall.  Though he started out as a bit of a shy guy at the beginning of the session, I felt like by the end of it, he was actually enjoying the sesssion a little.  He probably wouldn’t admit it to his mom, but I think he actually had fun.  Gasp!  Good luck, Noah!  I’m sure you’ll do great things.

    Location – Sombrero Beach –  Marathon, FL

  • Newborns

    Baby A {Marathon Newborn Photographer}

    I don’t make a habit of posting newborn sessions.  Not because they aren’t the cutest and squishiest little things, but because it’s such a special time to the family that I don’t need to be the one putting the baby out on the internet.  I typically ask the family if they’d like for me to post something to Facebook and if they do, I’ll post one or two.  Admittedly, I haven’t always handled newborn sessions this way, but it is how I do things now.  I also don’t post the baby’s name unless the family is ok with it.

    This session with this little girl was almost a breeze.  Newborn sessions are never easy, but she was a dream to work with.  Isn’t she a doll?

    Carolina {Marathon Senior Photographer}

    This is a busy time of year for our seniors in town.  Announcements are starting to go out letting everyone know that our seniors are graduating.  Plans are being made for graduation, graduation parties and then on to the BIG PLANS.  I always like doing senior photos and listening to their plans for the future.  I have no doubt that this young woman will succeed in whatever she decides to do.  We needed to reschedule once because of rain and the session ended up being super windy, but it was fun nonetheless.
