    Konrath {Marathon Family Photographer}

    There aren’t words in a blog post that can accurately describe how much this family means to me.  I’ve done 2 sets of senior pictures and a few sets of family pictures but these were definitely the most fun (as you can surely tell from a few pictures).

    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.

    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.

    Holiday Sessions 2016 {Marathon Family Photographer}

    This year, at the beginning of October, I started offering shorter family sessions for a reduced price.  The sessions were about 20 minutes which proved very manageable for several of my younger friends (kids and husbands ;-)) with all of the other hustle and bustle around the holidays.  I’ve done this for the past several years as a way for families to update their holiday photos for cards or gifts.  We photographed more than 30 families in about 8 weeks this year.  It was certainly a busy time, but we enjoyed it alot.   Which is your favorite?

    Miller Family {Marathon Family Photographer}

    Just before Christmas, I had the opportunity to photograph the Miller family.  Mom, Dad, the two daughters and their husbands all in town for the holidays so what better time to update the family photos?  I’ve known this family for more than 30 years but hadn’t seen the girls in a long time.  It was so nice to see everyone and I love that the girls organized the shoot to make sure they keep updated family photos.

    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?

    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.

    Holiday Sessions 2012 {Florida Keys Family Photographer}

    As a way to help families update their family pictures for holiday cards or gifts, I offered a few days of holiday mini sessions.  These were only offered on specific days and at specific locations but allowed for a quick session at a reduced rate.  I photographed more than 20 families and all received their digital files in time for ordering.  Here are a few from the various sessions.
