We will never forget the first time we visited Barefoot Beach in Bonita Springs, Florida.  From the moment we stepped onto its stunning sandy shoreline, we completely fell in love!  We knew it would be the perfect place for destination portrait sessions and were so excited to connect with Jessie’s beautiful family at the beach!

We met on an absolutely gorgeous evening and set off to explore for portraits.  This family was so much fun, and we had a blast capturing each of their relationships!  They were happy to be on vacation and had travelled from chilly Chicago to the warm sunshine of Southwest Florida.  They were also celebrating Jessie’s mother-in-law’s birthday, and it was such a gift to capture this season of life for them! It is one of our greatest joys to be able to document multiple generations vacationing together, allowing them to look back on cherished memories for years to come.

It is such an honor to receive kind words after sessions, and Jessie’s family’s response meant the world to us!  “We just wanted to say thank you again for the amazing session tonight! We got into the car and our mom said “this has been the best birthday I ever had” and both mom and dad were tearing up watching you take photos of us kids. Thank you for helping us capture these memories!” and “I have no words. You are literally magic! I’m gonna need you to follow us around everywhere and make us look this good! These are incredible and we are so so grateful!!” and “Thank you so much! You’ll be our first call when we are back here!”  We are beyond grateful for the families we serve, and we hope they enjoyed every minute of their time together in the sunshine state!
