Another SRQ post! The April issue features, in addition to several Sarasota wedding photographers :-), the annual readers awards, “Best of SRQ Local.” A handful of other photographers and I were asked to capture voters with their picks – This is the first year SRQ has added this twist, and it was really fun to meet the local voters and hear about their favorite spots.

Here are the ones I shot…

Voter Frank Maggio with Wendy Gingerich and Valarie Wadsworth at Yume Sushi, first runner-up for Best Sushi:

Phil Carey at Mozaic, contender for Best Wine Menu:

Elsie Gilmore at Everything but the Girl, second runner-up for Best Place to Find a Gift, and Molly Klauber at Mediterraneo, second runner-up for Best Pasta:

Voter Lisa Angely with Brett Blackburn, Austin Gobczynski and Tyler Angely at Caragiulos, which she voted for Best Family Restaurant:

Lastly, I voted for the Ringling Museum as Best Visitor Attraction, which got second runner-up behind Mote Marine Laboratory & Aquarium and the winner, Sarasota’s beaches. Cat Pennenga photographed me, along with my sister Dana and handsome little nephew, Ethan, by the Ca d’Zan:

SRQ Magazine featured a spread on some wedding photographers in the April issue (out now) – Check it out below! Thanks to photo editor Cat Pennenga, photographer Herb Booth, and everyone involved in the shoot for making it fun and painless! It was interesting, somewhat uncomfortable, but also a good time to be on that side of things – and I was honored to be alongside such amazingly talented photographers, everyone with their own unique experience and style.

Just a quick post to say happy, happy birthday to my amazing mother!

Mom's Birthday

Just a few months ago, we met Madeline for the first time when she and her parents visited us from NY. Last week, Maddie’s cousin Noah, along with his parents and grandparents, got away from the cold dreariness that is March in the northeast to enjoy some warm sunshine in Sarasota. I loved seeing the resemblance in the two cousins – They even made similar noises!

Noah is really adorable, and we all had a fun time taking some shots around the beach before the little guy got sleepy. 🙂

Here’s the whole crew:

Noah and family

And the sweet boy, being a sport laying in the sand:

Excited to see everyone again in June when we finally make our way to visit NY!

A slightly belated 18-month post for E’s cousin Nathan, so happy 19.5 months, little guy!

These are my two favorite shots of this incredibly adorable boy’s session. He’s so photogenic – that hair, those eyes, his sweet expressions… I think he’s getting even cuter! And the outfit complements his coloring so well (nice work, Ben!). I love photographing this kid!

Looking forward to the 2011 SFF in April!

A lot of my Cleveland clients vacation here in Sarasota, and what a great time to do family photos (instead of in the slushy chilliness that is Cleveland right now). Love it!

Little Natalie, big-brother Tyler, and family made the 18-hour drive (…during the kids’ waking hours, no less! Very impressive.) and are here visiting the little ones’ great-grandmother. Before heading to spend a couple days in Disney, they met me for a tropical photo session, and I can’t even stand the family cuteness…

Jared, Tyler, Susan, Natalie, Marjorie, & Julie

Two of my favorite shots from the session. Not sure it’s visible in this preview, but you can see Julie going for a high-five in Jared’s sunglasses:

Natalie & Jared, Julie & Tyler

The kids were so well behaved and camera-ready… I couldn’t believe it. Most little ones require me (and their parents) to do a lot of coaxing, chasing, singing… whatever it takes to get some great shots. And I don’t mind that – I expect it. They’re little! But that’s not to say that I don’t love the rare occasion that I get a 19-month-old who poses and a 4-year-old brother who helps carry the little chair, hugs his sister, climbs a tree and smiles…

Tyler

Lastly, I love these family shots. I was taking some photos of Julie and Jared, and then the kiddos stole the show.

Julie, Jared, Tyler, & Natalie

Such a fun session on an absolutely perfect FL spring day!
