Carrie's Beachy Baby Bump {Sarasota Maternity Photographer}

Carrie has a perfect baby-bump belly. And I mean perfect! She is just glowing with love and beauty, and totally rocked her session at South Lido beach. Her husband Eric was great at making her laugh, and it was just so easy to connect with the fun and laid-back energy that they share. Eric so perfectly completed his outfit with some charcoal TOMS, which were so cool that a few too many red ants came to check 'em out! "Pain for beauty!" my mum would always say ;)
The weather was so beautiful; it was just at the end of a storm... When we arrived, it was still drizzling, but quickly cleared up and left us with a warm breeze, glistening seagrass and a sky that you'd only see in movies. The result? Gorgeous images of an amazing couple, with a perfect baby bump, in a breathtaking setting.  If I do say so myself :)

 "G" for Griffin!

Aiden Turns Two! {Sarasota Toddler Photographer}

I was absolutely thrilled when Vanessa told me that her and Mark were making a visit to Sarasota with their "big boy" Aiden. This was their first visit back since they moved to Louisiana when Aiden was only a tiny little guy. I had the privilege of shooting his newborn session, and then their first session as a family, shortly before they moved away. This visit was Aiden's first time back to his place of birth and he felt right at home at the beach! He's absolutely fascinated with the water and attempted to jump in whenever he could! Not being satisfied with a mere "foot in the water," he wanted IN. Finally, towards the end of our shoot, we let him get his wish :) Such a brave little dude and an awesome swimmer, he is! Vanessa said that he's not happy until he is in NECK deep! Hahah. I had such a blast chasing around this gorgeous little monkey and capturing his new little "2 year old" attitude ;)  Thanks so much Vanessa and Mark, it was so awesome seeing you again!!
