    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.

    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.

    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?

    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?

    Best of Marathon {Marathon Photographer}

    Screen Shot 2014-09-07 at 1.16.50 PM

    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!

    Reunion of sorts {Marathon Family Photographer}

    One of my favorite sessions to photograph are those where family members meet from all over the country and want to capture the moment of togetherness.  We get photos of parents with kids, grandparents with grandkids, individual familes, cousins, sisters, brothers and anything else we can think of while we move along.  This was one of those sessions.  6 adults and 3 kids made for a fun group.  We captured everything they hoped and even ended the session with a few sunset colors.  Speaking of colors, I’m loving the coral in these!
