welcome to my fun new photography blog and site! yes, this is more than a blog, it's my new site, too! since this is the first stop for most of you anyway, and sharing new pictures is tons of fun (especially when they are this big!), i'm rolling the site and the blog together into one streamlined package.
i am a photographer based in fort myers, florida. i specialize in on location lifestyle and portrait photography for babies, children, and families. here you can see some of my latest pictures, find out more about family sessions (check that "about" menu, go for a stroll down memory lane, or check out an online gallery of some of my favorites. please note that this blog is best viewed at a minimum resolution of 1024 pixels across (standard on today's laptops).
are you on facebook? stop by and visit me there too!
if you are interested in receiving my blog posts via email, scroll down to the very bottom of the page, where you will see a big brown footer area with lots of links. there's a place for you to type in your email address: put it in, and every time i post, you'll be one of the first to know!
so, please make yourself at home. enjoy the images. leave a note. contact me! it's great to have you here.
I keep hearing about the snow and cold up north, so figured I’d share some near Christmas pictures with y’all. Don’t hate us, please…. this is just our compensation for surviving July and August. And maybe September.
I’m trying something new with the pictures here: to see them, click on a thumbnail and it’ll pop out. You can navigate through with your arrow keys or hover over the right or left of the image and click next. I believe my feed reader buddies will just see the thumbnails, so you will need to actually visit the blog to see the big versions. I’d love to know what you think of this: does it enhance or detract from the blog viewing experience?
Thanks to Wayne Toshikazu for the inspiration. Happy New Year to all of you!
greta, smitten photography - i loooooove the layout!! i saw something similar on fred egan's blog, and i was like, how the heck?! i love being able to use the arrow keys to navigate. love the pics too! our christmas weather was similar - it was in the high 70's here and everyone was in shorts. just two days before that, it was FREEZING. we don't have separate seasons here... we have "sprumfalter" or something :P happy new year robin!!
Rabia - I prefer the old style. Clicking on individual pictures is too much work for a busy (or in my case, lazy!) person. :D
Happy New Year!
Cindy - Hey! I like it both ways... I am no help at all. I will say it is pretty cool, BUT i like being able to just check you on my reader too. I am a faithful stalker, so seeing the little pictures will MAKE me come see the BIG pictures!
Rabia - ps: i'm still waiting for that top ten photos of 2008 post! ;)
Jamie Burnett - Great Images, they look sooo happy! Merry Christmas!
ohana photographers - ya know while i was reading the description, i was thinking "i'm not going to like it," but i like it! the thumbnails aren't so small you can't enjoy the pics. me likey! hope you had an awesome new years!!
I have the honor of being the photographer for the second year in a row for MOPS of New Hope. If you’re not aware, MOPS stands for Mothers of Preschoolers, and this is an awesome group, which brings moms together for fun and community. If you have little ones at home, you know how very much we need both of those!
We did this fundraiser for the first time ever last year, and it was a lot of fun (tiring, too, but mostly fun). Session coupons are $15 each–all of that money goes directly to support the local MOPS group. Each family has a 15 minute session (if you weren’t there last year, let me assure you, you can get a lot of shots in 15 minutes!) and receives a free 8×10 as a thank you gift from the MOPS group. We are selling prints and a portion of the proceeds from those sales will also go directly to the local group. Oh, maybe I should mention that we’ll be all about “play” this year… think bubbles, balls, wagons, trikes!
This shoot is open to the public. For more information, details, and to buy tickets, please do not contact me. I’m just the girl with the camera. All that kind of information is available by going to the MOPS of New Hope website. What I can do for you, though, is show you some pictures from last year. Enjoy!
I will close by mentioning that due to the work involved in this project (last year was 70 families in two days), I will not be scheduling family sessions in the second half of February through mid March. So if you are contemplating a family session for the first quarter, please go ahead and contact me now!
Melissa - Hi Robin! Love the new site! I am also a mom, photographer and part of a mom's club in michigan. I love the idea of doing a fundraiser for the group.
robin cornett - The kids' Christmas Eve service last night... first year we've had candles at that service! Thankfully, no one set the building on fire.
Betsy - Merry Christmas and btw, I LOVE your blog. LOVE IT!!!!!
Meet Krissy, who is just awesome (she actually works with my husband, lucky him!), and her family who came down to visit. Instead of heading to the beach for typical Florida pictures, we headed inland for some fun country pictures. It was a kind of novel experience, taking pictures of people who moved their heads when I asked them to, and always always always looked at the camera! They are wonderful people and it was fun to get to hang out with them.
Look, this is Krissy. She rocks.
Krissy’s sweet parents:
Krissy’s brother and his wife.
Krissy and her brother and his wife (in case you couldn’t tell):
I think this last one is my personal favorite from the session. It’s just kind of sassy. Kind of like Krissy.
For the past couple of weeks, I have spent quite a bit of my spare time at my daughters’ ballet studio, Dance Bochette, taking pictures of the classes as they finished preparing for their Holiday Show, which was yesterday. It was a lot of fun to watch the girls practice the moves and dances they’ve been studying all fall and I think their hard work really paid off yesterday. I’m still going through those pictures, but I wanted to share the slideshow I put together for them with you as well.
Rabia - isaac loved this! he watched it five times. now he wants to do "silly gymnastics like this [bends over, hands on floor, one leg raised], be in the show and have aunt robin take pictures!" good thing i signed him up for gymnastics this winter!
miss mimi, otoh, decided she wanted to look at a book about mexico. :P
stacey brown - So that was totally wonderful...... Beautiful photography! Now, how to I get the pictures to have and to hold?
robin cornett - If you click on the little shopping cart icon under the slideshow, it will take you to the online proofing gallery. Moms can email me from there to ask for the access code. :)
And you can tell Isaac that Aunt Robin will be more than happy to take lots of pictures of him in March!
Robin Brown - Dear Robin (used to be a boy's name),
A wonderful study of children learning, nicely presented.
And though I am related to three of them, the dancers are just beautiful.
Well done!
Robin
