    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!

    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?

    The B Family {Florida Keys Family Photographer}

    So. Much.  Fun.  The B’s were a somewhat last minute session that just happened to work out perfectly.  We photographed Mom, Dad and daughters and add the in-laws in for some pictures as well.  It’s always nice to get grandparent and grandkid photos any opportunity you have.  After we did some posed family photos, we did have an opportunity to do a few candid shots of the girls too.  Dad has his hands full with these beauties for sure!

    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.

    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.

    Best of Marathon 2016 – Thank You! {Marathon, FL Photographer}

    I am honored to have been voted as Best Photographer for the 5th year in a row during this year’s Best of Marathon awards. During the past 11 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. I appreciate all of you who took the time to vote for me. Thank you also to my amazing assistant (Shuga) 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. Now, who’s ready for some Fall Photos at the Fall Harvest on October 9th?

    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!
