The Taylors {Sarasota Family Photographer}

For Wendy Taylor's family portrait shoot, she wanted to go somewhere country and rustic. After talking with many people about a great place to use, I finally came upon the horse stables at Myakka Valley Ranches. With the old wooden barn, beautiful and friendly horses, and open land as far as you can see, there couldn't have been a more perfect location for this session! Their daughter Irely had such a cute personality and was really fun to chase around as she gathered as many sticks as she could! lol :) I really hope to work with this young country family again. Though it was difficult to narrow them down, I managed to pick out a few of my favorites to share...

Harley Kane-Hartnett {Sarasota Pet Photographer}

While visiting the Kane-Hartnett's home recently to shoot for an ad campaign, I was quickly lured in to shooting their pup when they discovered I also do pet photography! I wanted to share a few of the shots I got of Harley, a very sweet Black Lab/Chow mix.

Jan Small {Sarasota Headshot Photographer}

It was an absolute pleasure to work with Jan Small. After contacting me, we built a great relationship through email over the course of a few weeks, so by the time we finally met in person I felt as though we were old friends. She's an amazing woman and artist, from whom I have already learned a lot. We spent a beautiful afternoon in Towles Court, Sarasota's artist colony, probably talking and sharing stories more than shooting... Even so, we were able to capture many beautiful images of her genuine smile and lively spirit. Here I posted a few of my favorites.
