The holidays are upon us!

Mucho photos to come but here are just a few teasers from two of our Holiday Family sessions.

Please to enjoy...

Here is a super-sneak peek!

Amy & Harry recently had an intimate ceremony with just their daughters and best friends in attendance. It was a sweet simple ceremony that came from the heart.

Gwen, their close friend, even acted as officiant, and husband Bruce was the flower-girl wrangler... a busier position than you'd expect :)

Hannah was hilarious during the ceremony... and I'm pretty sure she'll get over the mushy stuff in a few years.












One of the fuzzier guests.









Your full online gallery will be up soon!

Here are some of the lovely gals at last months photo program! What a crop of cuties.

Last month Matt and I did a seminar for the Professional Photographers Guild of Southwest Florida, PPSWF, in beautiful downtown Fort Meyers. It featured improvised lighting on location, in studio, as well as, during the typical crazy hours for Florida sunlight.

It was so sweet of you guys to bring us down and it's always a pleasure to see the fab-ooo-lus Nocera ladies and hang with you guys.
And we can't believe you gave us an amazing Larson reflector, sweet schwag!!! Much love y'all.

Enjoy the pics, and be sure to have the gals contact us!

Cheers,
M&K

Just look at that little smile if you don't believe me... and boy did he give me a workout at his one-year shoot!

Here is just a little nibble... more to follow.

Little cousin Xavier stopped by too!













Ahhhhh, out takes. This makes me laugh hysterically!

It's pretty obvious Ethan here is going to be a showman of some kind (I'm betting on magician or professional krumper), as soon as we arrived with the lights and cameras he turned on the charm... even an hour after his bedtime!

The very sweet Katrina & Russell came all the way from Chicago to do their family beach session, and we even managed to get 10 minutes of not raining. Sigh... Florida. But even with the cloudy skies we managed to get a little sunlight from Ethan.

And the soft light actually helped make some beautiful soft images with a very classic feel. I'm so in love with the photos of him & Katrina together. Her expression is classic "mom love." The kind of love that kisses very sandy faces and wiggling wet babies.

We hope you love them as much as we do.

Cheers,
M&K


Doesn't he look like he should be saying "Ta-Da!"






















So sweet!

Isabella is our first official Christmas Card shoot of the year! And her mom brought in the cutest dresses for it, love the vibrant color. And wouldn't you just die to have hair like Isabella's?

Yep it's getting to be that time again already when we start getting bookings for family and children's sessions. Each year we get more and more families contacting us as part of the unofficial "battle for the best Christmas Card" contest. :-)

So far we're winning! We've heard reports from far and wide that our Christmas Cards outshine all the others on the refrigerator, a high honor indeed for us photographers! Call us sooner rather than later, it looks like it's going to be a nutty year!

Enjoy the sneak peek Lisa & Isabella, you were just lovely to photograph my dear.

Cheers,
Krystal

But what would you expect from a boy named Ayden? It means "little fire" so we of course had to do a fiery little newborn session for him.

His first session he wasn't having none of it! (see hilarious collage below) So two days later we had him back in the studio and got some seriously cute photos with him & his happy parents.

Enjoy! And congrats on adding this little guy to the family.
Krystal




Wow. This just says it all. :)












Look at that tiny little mitt! Isn't he so cute?
