Jaime & Matt: engaged

Naples Wedding Photographer, Set Free Photography

Adoration…that is all that I think about when I am around Jaime and Matt. Matt truly, wholeheartedly adores Jaime–it’s in his eyes, his smile, his touch…and every bit of it is so genuine. How I l-o-v-e photographing love! We started out with the “kids,” who were freshly groomed and camera ready:

And then it was time for a romantic canoe ride (I was just a little excited about it!).

I am already planning my next (er, first) canoe ride…it looked super fun. And these two made it look like a fairytale!

Wardrobe Change! (that was meant to be heard in my sing-song voice)

Jaime and Matt had scoped out our location ahead of time, where they met a man who explained that many couples carve their name into the bamboo trees…so he lent them his knife and we found their carving! (read: Matt found it. Jaime and I were lost six times by this point)

Here’s that adoration I was talking about…you can just feel it.

Congratulations, Jaime & Matt! Your heartfelt love and intense connection put such a smile on my face after our shoot. I think the world of you both and look forward to the wedding…I can’t stop thinking of ideas for us!

Love,
Stacy

Family photos celebrating the engagement of Sharon & Jason

Fort Myers Wedding Photographer, Set Free Photography

Sharon and I have known each other since high school–we performed on the dance team together (shout out to the Danstars!) and the Pom Squad (hey, hey Starettes!!). So, it was quite a thrill when she contacted me from our hometown of Chicago and inquired about family/engagement photos right here in Fort Myers, where her fiance’s family lives. It was a 16 year reunion and Sharon still looks the same, with her sparkling blue eyes and completely flawless skin. Um, Sharon: May I have the name of your facial cream? ‘Cause you don’t have any wrinkles and I will need to get my hands of some of that!

We started things off at the studio, where we captured these precious smiles:

Then we went on location to a field in North Fort Myers, where we had the most fun capturing true love, family, and the innocence of sweet young girls:

Thank you, Sharon, Jason, Ali & Ana for a lovely afternoon! Congratulations on your engagement and upcoming wedding…I couldn’t be happy for you and your families!
Much Love & Affection,
Stacy

Remember baby Jack? Well, he is as cute as ever and toddling around with his sweet curls and heart-melting smile! The best part of my job is watching babies grow up…how I treasure the families that give me this honor.

Lots of love & affection to baby Jack and his loving parents, Erin & Brian!
Can’t wait for next time,

Morgan & Jack welcome baby Jackson!

Fort Myers Newborn Photographer, Set Free Photography

This is going back in time a little bit, as you have already seen the beautiful M family’s Christmas session here, but these maternity and newborn photos must take their place on the blog! And who doesn’t want to see cutie pie Clyde in a bow tie?

I swoon for baby cowboy boots!

Morgan, you are so gorgeous…I love this image:

And not long after out maternity shoot, Jackson made his appearance into the world! What a handsome cowboy:

I still can’t believe this sweet smile…it makes my heart skip a beat. Hello, baby fever!

Congratulations, Morgan and Jack! I am so honored to be your photographer and to watch Jackson grow this year…he is absolutely perfect in every way. I couldn’t be happier for you!
Love,

Lynda Waldron - I am totally in love with this baby! And that pic of her laying down (lying down), I always get confused should be entered in a contest somewhere!

Carissa & Jon: engaged!

Naples Wedding Photographer, Set Free Photography

Lovely, lovely, lovely…that is what comes to mind when I think of Carissa and Jon’s engagement session. Styled by the fabulously talented Stephanie Meiser of Along Came Stephanie, the shoot was romantic & sweet with a touch of vintage glamour. Enjoy!

Little Miss Alexandra added a ray of sunshine to the shoot! What a beauty she is!

Congratulations on your engagement, Carissa & Jon! Looking forward to working with you over the next several months…you two are going to make an incredibly gorgeous bride and groom!

Love,
