Fort Myers, Florida, Sanibel, Captiva, Boca Grande, Estero Island, Marco Island, Southwest Florida Photographers.

 

 

Living in Southwest Florida one of  the many attractions are our beaches.

It is the place where families often gather for vacation.

When you think of it, it is also an opportune time to capture those memories.

 

Just off the West Coast of Florida between Sarasota and Naples are some of this states’ best islands.

Boca Grande, Upper and Lower Captiva, Sanibel, Estero Island and Marco.

All are quite quaint with different personalities.

Each one unique and some of our favorite spots for photos.

requesting a Generational Session.

We suggested Light House Beach on Sanibel Island.

We used the Sanibel Causeway as a backdrop

as well as the approaching luminous clouds framed by the lush vegetation.

No matter the conditions, Sandy can always capture a little magic.

This is the blessing of having a talented artist as a business partner.

Below are some photos from that day.

 

Creating “ART” from life is our goal with every portrait.

Time stops for no one but there are moments that

can be caught and will live on to cherish forever.

 

Planning a photo session might be something to consider for your next family vacation.

Today,  as I was working at my desk, I reached for a pen and picked up a crayola.   I chuckled to myself and thought yes, more evidence that I am a Grandmother as McKenzie and Blaise seem to leave behind little reminders that touch my soul.

There is nothing like a grandchild that can put a smile on your face, a lump in your throat and a warm feeling in your heart.

In a matter of moments these precious babies can trash a clean house like little cyclones.  I remember when we corrected our children for doing the same, now we sit back and are enamored with their creativity and play.   When the nail salon gives  a less than perfect manicure I am disappointed but when Mckenzie paints my nails, I proudly display my red and purple fingers with every smudge and smile.

I believe Grandparents day may rate right up there with Christmas.  I’m not sure what we are supposed to do on that day, nor the proper protocol for celebrating, but never the less, any moment spent with a grandchild is the greatest gift on earth.

May your day be beautiful and blessed, may your clean home be noisy &  messed, may spider man action figures trip you at the door, while lost princess Tiara’s keep you searching for more.  May your bed be filled with giggles, snuggles, tickles, and hugs and when they leave may your heart long for the soon return of those little bugs.
