capturing the proposal | sarasota's modern wedding photographer

he asked and she said yes! all during their family portrait session out on longboat key. it was such a treat to see this family again coming all the way from arizona for their "forced family fun" vacation :) what a load of fun this crew is! so truly i was honored & thrilled when i heard about the great big surprise. we typically do not get "the proposal" documented with photos... so i think this is awesome that joe documented their story and included his bent knee proposal :)
congratulations karin & joe... wishing you a lifetime of happy moments together.
cheers!

first day of school | sarasota bradenton childrens photographer

i know my blog has been a little idle lately... not because it has slowed down in any way as we say goodbye to summer... but rather i couldn't keep up with life's speed. i've been working on a back log of album designs and print orders... still had quite a few shots this month... all while ending summer vacation with my boys. so thank you to everyone patiently and anxiously waiting for their sneak peeks... they are coming. in the meantime, here are my guys on their first day of school... we had a very wet morning and decided to take our first day of school shots when we returned home. they were (insert sarcasm here) thrilled.

meet lawson | sarasota newborn photographer

baby lawson arrived on the 4th of july with fireworks and celebration... what a way to come into the world :) lawson's mommy was my middle guy's kindergarten teacher this past school year. so it was pretty special to shane and his classmates to see mrs. a's belly grow throughout the year. shane was so excited to see the photos when i came home from the shoot - he was blushing with a grin from ear to ear :)
congratulations tera & jason

conner is 6 months old | sarasota newport childrens photographer

one of the best perks of my job is getting to know some awesome families... and this one is pretty sweet. it truly is an honor to be apart of a growing family and to capture the memories that unfold. i had the pleasure of capturing this lil guy while he was still growing in his momma's tummy... and then when he was only one day old... and now again at 6 months with such spirit and personality. thank you randy & adrienne for trusting me with these precious moments.
