Fort Myers Naples Maternity Photography at Beach
When Alice first met us at Parent Child Expo this past June at Germain Arena where we have been doing an annual photographic art display for the past 8 years, she was very much pregnant with her third child and had asked us to do a maternity photoshoot at Fort Myers Beach. She was only a few weeks away from her expected due date. We were very much surprised she was that far along and normally our schedule doesn’t allow such quick scheduling. In most cases the idea time to capture maternity photos are between 28 and 32 weeks. This is because of water retention that causes puffiness and swelling in face and feet.
Alice was a different scenario, she looked amazing and didn’t have the usual swelling. She wanted something on the beach and loved our art work of families and children on display. “Your work is different and looks like paintings” she told us. Yes, that is a common statement and one we strive for in each session. Personal art for each client’s home!
Here are some of the images we produced that evening with her family.

Alice has since had her sweet daughter and a newborn blog is sure to follow. 😉

Fort Myers, Florida SandBar New Born Photographers and Portrait Artists
Nothing melts our hearts more
than newborn babies. They are perfect in every way.
We consider it a special blessing when we can photograph someone
as precious as Rafael.
Rafeal brought his big brother, Davee along today. These are a few
photos that are simply oozing with sweetness.

We found this poem that seems appropriate for Rafeal and David.
Because I have a brother I will always have a friend.
Big Brother, my little eyes are watching all you say and do
When I grow up big & tall, I want to be like you
My little ears are listening to everything you say
I am learning how to grow up & be just like you someday.
So be careful how you teach me to be the person that you are
You will always be my first best friend & the brightest shining star.
As many of you know, Barb and I are members of our local professional photography guild here in Southwest Florida. Last night was our first Print Competition of the Year and we each entered six images.
We were so excited to have Merited on 7 out of the 12 entered, and three of those received placement awards!
It is our goal to continue to perfect our craft by entering images into local, state, and international competitions. We are eager to hear the judges’ critiques and are able to learn and grow from them.

Fort Myers, Newborn Baby Photographer
WELCOMES A SWEET BABY JAXEN!
SandBar Photography had the pleasure to photograph this sweet baby boy this past week. Welcome Baby Jaxen!
This little guy had the sweetest disposition. As a newborn photographer in the Ft Myers, Florida area you really can tell the difference in each newborn’s personality.
Some already have their own minds made up of how the session is going to go, and fight going off to sleep.
It is with much patience that Barb handles the newborns as she has the warm hands and a grandma’s touch.
Jaxen didn’t want to go to sleep at first but with a full belly and such snuggly warm blankets he gave it up. 😉
The photograph with the baby and the football is always a daddy’s favorite.
while Mommy’s find the adorable little elf hat irresistible.
Congratulations to Amanda and Joe ! Thank You for choosing SandBar Photography as your family historians to document him in portraits.
Baby Jaxen , it will be our pleasure to watch you little guy grow. 😉
