Thankfulness.

I have been blessed with some really great shooting opportunities lately. Although I have been a busy little bee, I have loved meeting up with every single person and getting to photograph them! My month started out with a lovely little family photo-shoot in the park. Then I went on to do a beautiful boudoir session! Most recently I was invited to partake in an evening with Culinary Rocker Johnny Ciao (Go ahead, check his website out!). He is an extraordinary man!! He has been a chef for many stars and musicians and couldn't be more humble and intriguing. The event was held at the Sidney and Berne Davis Art Center in downtown Ft. Myers. All the proceeds that were raised for the night are going to the art center- which is a historical landmark to this community. It was a privilege to spend the evening at the event, and I even got to donate a portrait package in their silent auction to help raise money! It was truly a great experience.





Moving right along~ The day before Thanksgiving I met up with Britney and Chad downtown for their Engagement session. We had a wonderful morning talking about wedding plans, how they met (they're high school sweethearts) {love} and laughing with Chad climbing trees. I am ecstatic about sharing their wedding day with them! I know it be a great day full of their family and all of the love that they have for each other. They rock! Here are just a few favorites from their engagement session, taken with love:

Fall Family Photos
It's officially fall, which means it's officially my favorite time of year. 
Speaking of favorites...we met up today with Jen, Matt and little Willa at the park. The morning was nothing short of laughter and love with this family whom I just adore!

1-2-3- Triplets
Apparently, I have been attracting multiples lately...and I love it! I met up with the triplets and their parents at a park in Davie, Fl. It was rainy all day, but cleared up in the afternoon for this shoot. The kids had us all laughing, and it was a pleasure to be apart of their family- if only for an hour! Here are just a few from the shoot. 

Taken with Love and Laughter.

Expecting. Not 2 feet, but 4.

I met Milina a few months ago, as she was a bridesmaid for her friend Stacey's wedding {see March post}. Now her and her husband, Preston are expecting...Twins! We met at a park in Punta Gorda- where they were married. We were blessed with beautiful weather and a great setting. These two are such a sweet couple- and I am so elated for them to be parents. I am truly looking forward to capturing the twins when they arrive in a few months.

With so much love, and good health to the Heisler's~


Happy Birthday Bella

Bella and her parents met my assistant and I at the park for a morning shoot. It was a pleasure getting to capture this momentous occasion: Bella's turning 1! Bella and I share the same birthday, which I think is pretty cool. She's such a sweetheart and I wish her the very happiest of birthdays.

6 Months old already?

Ok, so I have been a bad blogger. I have been surrounding myself with all kinds of cuteness lately! Little Nadia is 6 months old; and I'm sure her parents will agree, where has the time gone? It seems like it was just yesterday, when Jenna and Omar met me at the park to do their maternity shoot, and then not to soon after, to meet their newborn baby. Now this little beauty is already 6 months old, showing her great personality! Her 1st birthday is quickly approaching....so be ready for it mom and dad!

With love to baby Nadia, and her parents~

Lindsay and Andy are Engaged...
What happens when you go downtown, with perfect lighting, and a couple that is so incredibly in love?
You get a picture like this:



When I first met these two, I knew that photographing them was going to be nothing short from wonderful- they are so much fun to be around and look great together! Even though it was more than a little warm, (thanks, Andy for being a good sport) I hope you will be able to see that this is another couple that is meant to be.

Downtown Engagement Shoot:
Rachel and Steve

Steve and Rachel are nothing short of an adorable couple! We walked all around downtown Ft. Myers talking about their relationship, how it came about, and life in general. You can see by the way they look at each other that they just adore one another- and that's one of the many things that I love about doing this. 
Here are just a few of the shoot- to see more, go to my Facebook Page: Taken With Love Photography, and feel free to "like" it!

Congrats Rachel and Steve- I am so excited for the big day!

Congratulations to another happy couple!

Although this post was far over-due I had to give a proper congratulations to Dan and Kristin Gomez! We spent the early afternoon photographing Kristin and her bridesmaids getting ready, witnessed a beautiful ceremony, and was apart of a grand celebration! Their friend's and family definitely were as excited as I was to be at their wedding to help them celebrate the beginning of the rest of their lives. All the love, happiness, and laughter that life can bring to you two.

A beautiful day for a beautiful couple

A few months ago Stacey, Jarrod and I did their engagement shoot at the Naples pier. All it took was to see how much in love they were to get me all the more excited to be apart of their wedding in such a big way. 
Surrounded by such great friends and family, they said their vows to one another as I captured their special day with so much love! Here are a couple photos- to see a whole album  visit my Facebook page: Taken With Love Photography (and become a fan)! 
Congratulations again you two! May you always be as happy as you were on this day.

Welcome 2011
I had a truly wonderful 2010! I met some amazing couples, families and individuals and captured their special moments. With anticipation I welcome 2011 with excitement for all of those I have yet to meet (but will) and will be able to take their photographs with much love. 

I started January first off right by taking these family portraits! The day was beautiful and this family knows how to pose! See more on my Facebook page: Taken With Love Photography.

Cheers to the New Year~
