Merry Christmas from the Searcy Family ~ Fort Myers Photographer

Christmas 2012!

We had two Christmas trees for the holiday season because I HAD to take this picture.  I found one similar to it on Pinterest, and knew Bryce would get a kick out of delivering a tree to our house.  He wasn't very happy about standing in the street to take the picture, but he loved having his own tree in his bedroom after the session was over with.  

Bryce Baby!

It has been way too long since I last updated my blog!

I'm so excited about my new template on my blog!  I hope to post all the pictures I've taken since November here soon.  They are all on my Facebook page if you'd like to see them.

I was just updating my About Me section on my blog.  It made me think of the reason I started getting serious about photography, my sweet Bryce Baby!

Here's some of the latest pictures of my kiddo.

Can You Tell Me How to Get to Sesame Street?

Bryce's Oma gave Bryce the cutest overalls, so I decided since summer vacation was wrapping up, I wanted to take a few cute pictures of my baby boy.  So we went out to the backyard with Bryce's stuffed animals, and of course a bright red lollipop.

Two Two! Bryce is two!

Bryce baby loves trains!  So, to celebrate his second birthday I took his birthday pictures on the train tracks in Estero.  Bryce brought along his toy Thomas the Tank Engine for the pictures.

This is just the beginning

The ruffle fabric backdrops have arrived, and so have the flower headbands.  I'm so ready to photograph a baby!

I have always had a passion for photography.  I notice myself looking at everything as though I'm looking through my camera lens.  I can't tell you how many times I have said, "Hey, that would make a really good picture." As a kid I remember snapping pictures of bubbles, sunsets, my siblings, and my pets.  In high school I took a few classes at Fort Myers High School and really enjoyed learning the settings on cameras, processing my own film, and having an excuse to pull over on the side of the road to snap pictures of the livestock out in the fields of Buckingham.  As the years trickled by, I found myself taking pictures of EVERYTHING!  When ever my husband and I went on vacation, I'd have to buy a box of batteries for the camera to pack for the trip because I'd end up taking hundreds of pictures.  Then I had Bryce in June 2010, and my Nikon got a full on workout.  For the longest time, I took multiple pictures of Bryce daily.  Every new development has picture documentation.

  As he has gotten older, my photography has improved.  I upgraded my camera to a Nikon D7000, joined a photography hobbyist group, and have spent hours researching portrait photography.  I'd really like to take the next step and become a professional photographer.  For now I'm building my portfolio, perfecting my technique, and of course taking even more pictures of my Bryce Baby.
