Stand Still & Life Will Come To You

Sometimes if we stand still long enough, life will come to us, not always, but when things are just right, it is a a natural treat.

On this familys' portrait session on a Sanibel beach standing still for this young girl Navi gave her the opportunity to have her portrait taken with this usually camera shy white heron.

Wising you the best in natural treats.

The Pirate Ghost Cloud

While taking family portraiture on Sanibel & Captiva I often tell the true pirate history of these Islands.

On Sanibel & Captiva there were 2 pirates that lived here - Gasbar on Captiva and Ceasar on Sanibel.
Their treasure cashes have yet to be discovered.

Well I got home from this wonderful families portrait session and looked at their images and low and behold in the background of theirs sons images, taken right when I was telling them about the pirates history, was a pirates scull and cross bones in the clouds in the sky behind him. I just thought this was amazing! See the images below and let me know what you think!
Here is a link to some local Sanibel & Captiva pirate history.

Casa Rio Estate Images

I am always excited when I get to create images of a home for McMurray & Nette VIP Realty Group, Inc.
Mike and Trevor work the way I love to work, giving 100 percent of themselves to achieving their clients vision and goals.

The "Casa Rio Estate" is "FOR SALE"- It is quite an amazing home built in 1926 by inventor CW Stribley who perfected the process of making Wax Paper. It has a circular protected docking area that goes out to the river which the first dredge was created and used for. This beautiful historically preserved estate is right next to the Henry Ford estate on McGregor Boulevard, looking out over the Caloosahatchee River. If you would like to read more about the Casa Rios' history you can find an article at this link: Casa Rio










It's a New Day!


I am soooo happy to be writing this blog today!

Having run my own web-design and marketing company for five years I had no idea that it would take three years to find the time to create this website.




I have been happily busy, meeting great people
from all around the country and world.

My clients are great people that live here in SW Florida or come here to visit Florida, and while here they give me the privilege of documenting their families with portraiture. I will add some of my destination wedding adventures to future blog posts.
