Sarasota Bradenton Baby and Child Photographer » Custom newborn, baby, child and senior photography

..makes me a bad blogger   I have been hard at work behind the scenes, making changes and adding a few things. I will share it all very soon! In the meantime…..here is a little 4 week old peanut that won my heart. He was not up for his usual nap….but his very patient parents made getting some cozy images a piece of cake.

This young man recently received his First Communion and I was thrilled to capture these very special images for him and his family. He did such an amazing job! I was impressed by his endurance through the sweltering summer heat- in a suit no less- and my insane need to capture every little detail. Thanks “M” family, for allowing me to capture this special milestone in your sons life!  

Addy and I recently had the pleasure of spending the day with my beautiful and talented photographer friend, Jennifer and her gorgeous daughters. They came all the way down from Tampa to have a girls day out!  Our girls all have names that sart with the letter “A” and they are around the same age!  How cute is that? It was a match made in heaven, and they pretty much ran the show once we arrived at the beautiful Selby Gardens in Sarasota. Despite seeing a 100  6 foot corn snake emerge from the tree right next to the one our girls were playing in, we had a blast. It was quite comical as Jenn and I chased the girls around with our cameras, laughing all the while at what typical PK’s (photographer’s kids) they are!  Black box in front of lady’s face must mean….to run away as fast as you can! Well, we had a great time anyway, and sometimes it’s cool to just be in the moment and enjoy the kids being kids. And that is pretty much what we did

I am all about simplicity these days, and as much as I love adorning my walls with huge prints of my children, it can sometimes be a bit overhwleming  with all those fabulous print and frame options (yes, even for me!). Well, we have finally found a solution and are thrilled to now offer standout mounts in our fine art collection. Prints are mounted on a thick black lightweight backing that gives a contemporary, finished look to unframed images. Available on select print sizes in ¾” and 1½” thicknesses. The edges are textured in black craquelure and holes are included on the back of the mounts for easy hanging.  If you find framing, matting and color options a daunting task, then these gorgeous mounts are for you!  Pictured below is a 24×36  ¾” thick mount. The image itself was printed on our beautiful pearl paper.  Pearl paper yeilds a high quality gloss with a pearl-like appearance (making for a challenging product shot!) and are a great option for senior and children portraits. (Images of the 1½” mounts coming soon)  

The Williams household has been a busy one lately, with a potty training puppy, crazy schedules and summer on the horizon. The school year coming to a close tends to add its own amount of stress as we try to find activities to keep the kids busy and out of trouble throughout the summer. I was so happy to take a little break from it all and spend some time with my wonderful friend,  Andrea of Andrea Brogle Photography. We met about a year ago over the Internet and became fast friends, chatting at least once a week. She is one talented lady and I was so excited to finaly meet her face to face during her quick visit to Florida last week. We both share a great love of photographing sweet little newborns. If you are ever in the greater Chicago area and need a photographer, you have to look her up!  Her work is amazing! You can check out her blog here http://andreabrogle.com/ .
