look! (Jan)

(categories)a beach|families

So, last week, I had this delightful family session where everyone was a grownup (or close enough to count). Mainly, that meant that they all listened and did what I asked them, except when they weren’t, which happened more often than you might think. We laughed a lot; at least, I did! I love seeing the other end of the family spectrum–this group includes newlyweds, a college grad starting an exciting job, a high school grad heading for college, and one last high school student to stay home and enjoy being an only child for a little while. I look at how my children are growing and learning and I can’t wait until they are at these ages, so that I can be as proud of them as Jan and Kevin (understandably) are. Well, I can wait, because I don’t want them to be old enough to date and stuff like that, but I know you know what I mean!

look! (Alana)

(categories)a beach|families

I had the opportunity this week to revisit Alana and her family… last year I visited them at home. I love getting the chance to see how these babies grow and change, and how the family as a whole grows together. It’s also a lot of fun to visit different places, too! I had a really wonderful time with these guys, despite the heat and the looming storm (both standards for Florida in June!).  You will be happy to know that these children are as sweet as they are beautiful–I got big hugs at the end of the evening. That, my friends, is a win in my book.

look! (Lindsay)

(categories)a beach|families

Last week, I had the fun opportunity to spend an evening at the beach with Lindsay Lee, a Sarasota based photographer, and her family. It was great to explore the beach, check out the animals and vegetation (those are called nicker beans, Lindsay, and they use them to make worry beads!), and chat about our businesses. Since we are both mommas who are usually holding the camera, instead of being in the picture, I enjoyed getting to put her on the other side of the camera for once! Thanks so much for coming down, Lindsay!

Check out Lindsay’s baby images on her blog–I really wish I had some of these of my own!

Salvage: performance

(categories)dance

Right before my trip to Italy, I shared a couple of promotional images I’d shot for Salvage, a collaborative performance happening in downtown Fort Myers. The (first, I hope) performance of Salvage was last Friday, and it was energetic and stunning. I had the privilege of attending the dress rehearsal to capture images there. Since the performance was an open floor in a large room (the Art Center used to be the post office, back when federal buildings were built to be beautiful), shooting at the final dress was fantastic, because I could circle around the entire stage without worrying about getting in anyone’s way or disrupting the performance. Visually, the show was a rare treat (and a huge change from sunny beaches!): the combination of the dancers’ movements and the lighting was just really beautiful.

I wanted to share a few of my favorite images here with you, but you can see more of them at the Dance Bochette website.

(If you are wondering, a special floor was built for the performance, but my eye was really captured by the dancers’ reflections in the marble floor of the art center. Really beautiful!) The concept and choreography for the show was by Alyce Bochette; the lighting was by Stuart Brown; the show also featured original poetry by Jim Brock and video by Rodney Woolsey.

traveling in Tuscany

(categories)traveling

Just this month, I had the opportunity to take the trip of a lifetime with my father, my uncle, and his daughter–a little father/daughter trip–to the Tuscany region. Yes, the one in Italy! The last time I’d ever traveled outside of the US, it was a kinder, gentler world and therefore I’ve never even had a passport. So this spring, I was working on logistics like getting one of those and figuring out how to maximize the photographic opportunity of a lifetime. Packing clothes was kind of secondary! My awesome cousin worked super hard on the real logistics of the trip and she did an incredible job. Everything went really smoothly, except perhaps for actually driving from point A to point B, which I think couldn’t have gone much better than it actually did. We’ll just say that road markings in Italy are a bit different than they are here in the States and leave it at that. But the views on the drives were spectacular.

We started in Florence, or Firenze (that one took me a while to figure out, I’ll be honest), and then wandered through the countryside visiting smaller towns like Montalcino, Lucca, Chiusi, and Cortona. Everything was incredibly beautiful, and I really felt like I was inside an art book. I made a quick pass through my pictures and wanted to blog just a few.

A field of grapevines in Tuscany:

Grapevine at a small winery outside Montalcino (left) and the morning view from our hotel there:

The same morning view, just looking a slightly different direction:

A crazy sun halo in Chiusi:

Broken column in ancient Rome (plus some poppies–all over Tuscany, I totally fell in love with them!):

I think this is the Ponte Garibaldi in Rome (we were standing on the Ponte Sisto):

If you made it this far, thanks for reading about how I spent my “summer” vacation.;)
