When Alli reached out to book a family session a few months ago, we were so excited to connect with her in sunny Southwest Florida!  Alli’s friend Taylor had shared our name after we had the privilege of photographing her destination engagement session in Naples last winter, and we could not have been more grateful for her referral!  Alli and her husband were traveling down to spend some time with her parents, and we couldn’t wait to capture her beautiful family at the beach!

We met on an absolutely gorgeous evening at one of our favorite locations: Lowdermilk Park.  Not only does it boast palm trees along the shoreline and sugar-white sand, but its tiki huts are some of our favorite features as they provide the perfect pop of tropical ambiance to the photos.  It was such an honor to document this session as Alli and her husband introduced their nine-month-old son to the beach for the very first time.  It was certainly a magical evening to experience as a first, and a complete delight to be a part of this sweet moment!  He was the happiest little guy with the cutest smiles, and we were beyond thrilled to capture his announcement that he will be a big brother!

We could not be more excited for Alli’s parents as they anticipate the arrival of another adorable grandbaby!  We hope that they have a wonderful family time and that they will enjoy many more memories at the beach in the years to come.  Documenting families as they spend time together in Florida is such a joy, and we know how much it will mean to this growing family to have these moments to look back on.  We hope that these images are a sweet reminder of this beautiful season of life!
