The Liepshutz Family {Marathon Family Photographer}
I had another opportunity to meet a fun new family. This family came “all the way” from the Orlando area for a quick stay at Tranquility Bay. The photos were a surprise to the dad and son and the weather didn’t completely cooperate, but we made the most of it and got some great shots. You almost can’t tell it was blowing about 25 straight into the beach area of the hotel. 🙂

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!

Stephens Pack {Marathon Family Photographer}
As the kids get older and have families of their own, it becomes harder to grab them all in one place at one time. This year, the annual Marathon Seafood Festival brought one of my favorite families together. Capt. Art and his 3 kids were all in 1 place at one time (after taking a break from manning the beer booth) just long enough for some quick pictures. These are black and white conversions of some of my favorites. We didn’t have too much time (places to go, people to see) but I’m so glad they made the effort.

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).

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.

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.

The Perry Family {Marathon, FL Photographer}
I first met the Perry family from South Dakota in 2014. The family comes to Hawks Cay every 2 years and while they’re here, they get updated family photos. 5 different families from 4 different states make up this fun group of 14. This year, rather than doing the shots at the resort, we moved over to the area by the villas so we could switch the scenery up a bit. We did some posed large group family shots, then some shots of the individual smaller families before we did some candids of the grandkids. It was great to be able to see how much the kids had grown. They tell me they’ll be back in 2018. I hope so!

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?
