Merry Christmas from our family to yours! Cards are still going out but wanted to share some of the images we used from our family photo shoot with our dear friend, Bona Kim, in downtown Fort Myers. So fun and so us... Looking forward to 2015 and thanks for being apart of the ride!
#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!
Amanda + Peter I Sanibel Engagement
... a giddy in LOVE couple, an ADORABLE toddler, and GORGEOUS light, what more could a photographer ask for? Maybe a well coordinated family? This blog post has that too!!! So many amazing images to share from Amanda, Peter, and Cullen's recent sunset photo session at the Sanibel Lighthouse Beach. Amanda was a referral from my Tanglewood Elementary friends (Thank you Kitty and Marisa) and wanted family and engagement photos to use for a Save the Date for their wedding in 2015. Wearing their wedding colors, Amanda and Peter dressed in teal and silver grey- such a stunning combo for beach photos. Congratulations to these two! Enjoy your sneak peek...
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!
Fort Myers Photographer I Blooming Mommy + Fam
Excited to blog the images from my friend Lisa's recent family portrait session at Bonita Springs Riverside Community Park. Of course she dressed her family perfect for the occasion. Lisa is the co-owner of Green Street Boutique, a stylish fun spot for gifts, clothing, jewelry, and baby items in Bonita Springs. I admire Lisa for her entrepreneurial spirit and how much she has accomplished in one year. Seems like just a few short months ago we were brainstorming over wine and sharing our career aspirations. Her boutique is amazing and I can't wait to see what she has planned for 2015! She is a beautiful wife, loving mom, and caring friend. Love ya, Lisa- I am thankful for our friendship.
-Molly
P.S.
Junior is a local celebrity and knew half the people at the park the day of our session. Fort Myers is a small world!

Fort Myers Maternity Photographer I Kim + Mark
Elated to share Kim and Mark's recent maternity session at Koreshan State Park on the blog this week. The couple has waited a LONG time to be EXPECTING and I was so excited to capture this special time in their lives. Baby Bocelli will arrive in December. I will say it's a BOY but the name is still a secret... We had a blast together and Mark is always good for laughs. Kim wanted a few shots including the adorable shoes and belly + ring photo below.
Fell in love with this spot and the beautiful light that we captured. Also loved Kim's choice of clothing for the entire session. She looked radiant and all belly!
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.
Mia I Fort Myers Senior Photography
Congratulations to Mia on her senior year at Fort Myers High School. Go Greenies!!! Always enjoy photographing Seniors and would love to do more of these kinds of portraits. For Mia's photos, we met up at Naples beach close to downtown and then headed to a near by hotel for a gorgeous setting. The blooming flowers, greenery, and lighting were a photographer's dream! Turns out Mia enjoys being behind the camera too! We chatted about her plans for the future, perhaps a business major? Her destination for college and even laughed about the trials and tribulations of being a curly girl in SWFL. Gotta love the humidity in September in Florida! I enjoyed hanging out with Mia's mom, Tisha, who happens to also be a former FMHS grad! We ended our session with a delicious breakfast on the chic streets of downtown Naples and talked about how small of a world Fort Myers really is!
We also captured a few mother and daughter portraits! LOVE!
Twins: Blair & Patrick I Fort Myers Family Photography
Congrats to Ammi and Max on winning our "Pin It to Win It" promotion! Ammi pinned Summer inspiration items to a Pinterest board that was entered into a drawing for a free photo session. How cool is that!!?!?!?! We LOVE Pinterest! Ammi was soooo easy going and excited to have a family photography session to capture her growing twins.
We waited until Blair and Patrick turned 7 months and were sitting up. Poor Blair had a bug during our shoot and ended up with a fever shortly following our session (you could never tell by the photos below). They are the CUTEST babies!!!
Hard to believe it's already Fall! Thank you to everyone that participated in the the contest!!! Enjoy a sneak peek at highlights from our time with the gorgeous Meadows family...
Guess what!?!?! We are nearly fully booked for 2014 and booking into the NEW YEAR! If you wouldlike to get on our calendar for a session, please email hellomollyandmatt@gmail.com.
Janska & Chis I Sanibel Maternity Photography
Janska + Chris
Sanibel Lighthouse Beach, Florida
Congratulations to these two! After a LONG wait they are expecting AND we could not be any more excited for them!! I've known Janska (Jessica) for a few years and was honored when she asked me to take her photos at 28 weeks. A few rain drops, a couple toddler tantrums (Lil was my assistant for the evening), and hundred bug bites later... their maternity session hits the blog! Enjoy a peek at our favorites.
Boca Grande Maternity I Jenny + Joe
I traveled north this past weekend to meet up with my old college friend, Jenny, and her husband, Joe, for some destination maternity photos on Boca Grande, FL. I had my sights on Banyan Street and knew I wanted to use my wide angle lens to capture the beauty of the trees. We hit the beach just after sunrise, stumbled upon a fun peace wreath on a colorful door, and explored a local church for stunning images of these two. Can't wait for the arrival of Baby Benitz in a few weeks!
Special thank you to Lisa Cotto for styling Jenny for our session. Clothing from Green Street Boutique in Bonita Springs, FL.
Congrats Jenny!

This year we were greeted by the newest member of the Winter family, Baby Kacey, born to Gabe and Hayley on August 9th. What more could a Florida photographer want! A beautiful newborn among the Colorado corn fields. This session was so much fun. Congrats to my cousins on their growing family! Here's a sneak peek on the farm...
Captiva Family Photography I McMullen Family Returns
The McMullen family returns to SWFL with cute Greyson and their newest edition, baby Cosette, born in June. We were eager to photograph this family again after their beautiful shoot from last year at Casa Ybel and Captiva featured here. Libby did an amazing job coordinating her family outfits and asked to have Cozy photographed in my mom's mermaid tail and beach hammock. My favorite part of the session ended with Libby wearing a lace dress from SewTrendyAccessories holding Cozy in the waves of the ocean. JUST GORGEOUS!!! Enjoy a peak at highlights from their session...
