Boca Grande Photographer | Hoy Family
Our adventures on Boca Grande a few weeks ago are on the blog this week. From the wide angle shots on Banyan Street to the hidden gardens along the way to the sandy white beaches, this truly is one of our fav places to shoot. I wished we loved closer! Luckily Elisabeth and her family vacation there often so perhaps we will be back to shoot as little Hudson grows to know how amazing this Florida island is!
Enjoy a sneak peek of the Hoy family and a few of our fav images from their session...
Expecting Baby Simmer | Fort Myers Maternity Photographer
Just a year ago I was blogging Athena and Scott's wedding photos (click here to see!!!) and now they are expecting a little one in July! So excited for to these two! Of course I had to take her maternity portraits while she was visiting Fort Myers. We started on McGregor Blvd. near the famous GOD IS LOVE sign and followed the light as many of my sessions do and ended at FSW. My beautiful friend of so many years rocked the shoot with her bohemian style and amazing baby bump. Glowing at 33 weeks, Athena will endure the anticipation a few weeks longer... Best of all her and Scott do not know the gender yet of there little one!!
Behind the camera with Athena!!! So excited for you!!

Expecting: Asha + Sean I Sanibel, Florida I Maternity Photographer
Yet another maternity session!!!
It seems everyone is expecting... including my gorgeous friend, Asha. Due in February, I met up with her and Sean (daddy-to-be) for sunrise portraits on the island. I must say the couple was brave smiling and giggling their way through the 48 degree weather (cold for Florida!!!). You can tell these two are soooo in love and are counting the days until they meet their little one. Also a photographer, Asha was glowing in front of the camera and was stunning among the sunrise, sea grapes and sandy beach of Sanibel. Here's a sneak peek at their baby bump session:

Enjoy and Merry Christmas!
#thompsontwins2015 I Baby Shower, White Orchid in Fort Myers, FL
I had the honor of attending (with camera) the Thompson's baby shower at the White Orchid on December 7th. The shower had over 60 guests and almost reminded me of a wedding. The details were amazing! Jaimee and Craig are expecting twins (Jude & Eiselee) in March 2015, a boy and a girl. The committee of Debbie Strachan, Meredith Strachan, Holly Crider, Kelly Lean, Aime Rowland, Shavon Chester, Beth Browder, and Alyssa Duffy did not disappoint as hostesses. So thoughtful and planned, the shower had nautical items from Jaimee's Pinterest boards through out the house, a DIY onsie making station, a block designing table, and an area to create bow ties for Jude and hair bows for Eiselee. Guests sipped cocktails from fun mason jars as they perused the gift display table (lucky babies!!) and left books for the twins at the entrance of the shower. The celebration even had it's own hashtag #thompsontwins2015. Jaimee and I are close Instagram friends so I thought that was very fitting! Just a beautiful day all around... This couple has so many loving family & friends counting down the days to the arrival of the twins. Congratulations and we can't wait to meet Jude & Eiselee!
Fort Myers Newborn Photographer I Baby Camden
Wait for it... A smile, not just any smile... The smile of a 7 lb., 10 oz., 20 inch bundle of joy! Lauren & Luke welcomed Baby Camden into the world on November 4th. I arrived 11 days later with my props (thank you Amanda Hillary Photography for the fox hat), baskets, and camera in hand to capture what would become the sweetest sequence of grins I have ever seen. Camden did GREAT and slept the entire session. I LOVE the photos of him on Luke's football jersey and the ones in the hammock made by my mom. The fox hat was adorable and tied in Lauren's theme in the nursery. Thank you to the Wemples for welcoming me into your home to capture this beautiful time!
HELLO Landon I Fort Myers Newborn Photography
Congratulations to Laura and Brandon on the arrival of baby Landon, born on October 17th at 10:02 P.M. Laura and I were marketing classmates at Florida Gulf Coast University and have stayed in touch over the years. It was such a delight to be apart of this special time in their lives. Landon is absolutely perfect, weighing in at 7 lbs, 15 oz, and 20 inches long. I'd say he was the BEST sleeper I have ever worked with... Highlights of my fav images from our session are below, including a pumpkin hat, striped hat and blanket made by my mom and a turtle hat and blanket made by my talented friend, Alyssa.

Elijah {6 months} I Fort Myers Child Photographer I Fort Myers, FL
Excited to share our latest lifestyle session of the Butcher family in May. Jaime and her husband, Matt, welcomed me into their home to capture portraits of their six month old son Elijah. I immediately hit it off with Jaime as soon as I spotted her in polka dots (my favorite pattern)!! Loved her style and ideas, turns out she is an interior designer! Here's a peek at Elijah- enjoy!
Meet Emma I One Month Photos I Nashville, TN
Pamper yourself, Emma! Your aunt Molly is visiting and there are about to be loads and loads of photo opportunities!
Visiting at your one month mark made for a few challenging attempts to capture the "newborn" images your mom and grandma were lusting after. Once we got into the groove and adjusted our expectations (newborns are much easier to capture sleeping) we did just fine. You are AMAZING and I am elated I got to spend a week with you at the beginning of your life.
I always knew you’d be a great mom someday, Hannah. Celebrating the incredible mom you are to Emma and the wonderful aunt you are to Lillian this Mother's Day. 
"All you need is Love"... "You are my Sunshine"... "Emma" and "Made in Nashville, TN". Such a beautiful space for Emma Louise Lovejoy to grow. Love how all the details came together in Emma's nursery.
We can't get too far into this blog post without a photo for Jake... Enter the soccer ball and blanket made by Laura, Jake's mom.
What did the fox say? She probably could not stop talking about the super cute hat, tale, and booties you are wearing in the photos below made by our mom, Carolyn. Oh my goodness you are ADORABLE!!!!
Love, love, love the photo below. Emma reminds me of Hannah as a baby on the bed.
One more hat made by my mom for Emma- pretty in pink! I can't wait to see you again, Emma! And Lillian is counting down the days to meet you! 
Hot Air Balloon One Year Session I Molly & Matt Photo
I must say I've been wanting to try to create a hot air balloon prop for a session for quite some time. It seemed simple enough and I already purchased an extra large red balloon on clearance at JC Penny around Christmas time. I collected the rest of my supplies at JoAnn Fabrics which included a basket for the anchor piece, a small basket for the upper section to hold the balloon, 4 wooden dowels, and green chevron fabric.
The star of my session was one year old Garrett. Adorable as can be! The creation was not baby proof and I will need to do some maintenance if I plan on using it again. It did hold up long enough to capture these cute shots. Maybe I'll do newborn next time!
Thanks for stopping by!!
Love,
Molly
