Family Photography | Naples, FL ~ Holiday Sessions

I don't really remember the time betwen Thanksgiving and New Year's Eve... My head was in the washer machine the whole time, running around, staying up late editing, completing orders, client sessions, shooting, and making things happen! All this, with a deadline! I tried to keep the Christmas deadline of editing last photos, but that came and went and the new year almost knocked on my door with an added pressure...

Fortunately, that's a fantastic problem to have and I am blessed and grateful for the work! Keep it coming! I've never felt more fulfilled...

The Holiday mini sessions were a hit this year and, with more luck, I'll continue the tradition next year with the promise of starting earlier than this year! I was happy to photograph the Franchino family and the Aybar family this year for their annual holiday cards...

The Franchino kids were a breeze to work with... Four gorgeous faces, laid back attitudes, supermodel confidences... Add an awesome blue antique truck to the mix and you got yourself one happy photographer!

The second family I photographed for their holiday cards is the Aybar family...One reason we were thankful for last year was the fact that we became very good friends with these guys... They are so much fun and so nice that we want to be around them all the time. If for nothing else, but to lose belly fat... Cause when around them, you laugh so hard, your stomach shrinks. I'm not kidding. If you met them, you'd knew what I mean.

We met at the Pelican Bay community park one fine late morning and took a few shots...

The parents. You probably remember them from their Trash the dress shoot not too long ago.

If you received the Franchino's or the Aybar's cards, you are lucky to have them as friends! They are wonderful people and I'm happy to have them in my life!
