This is 17 Portrait Session in Ft Myers, Florida
In the midst of life’s hurried moments, there are glimpses of pure beauty that stops us in our tracks. For me, those moments often come in the form of photographs capturing my daughter, Ella, as she navigates the delicate bridge between childhood and adulthood.
At sixteen, going on 17, Ella embodies a captivating blend of youthful innocence and burgeoning maturity. Behind the lens of my camera, I’ve had the privilege of witnessing her growth, each snapshot serving as a testament to the remarkable individual she’s becoming.
In her eyes, I see the sparkle of dreams yet to be realized and the quiet strength of someone who is discovering her place in the world. With each passing day, she’s carving out her own path with integrity and kindness. I’m honored and grateful to have moments to document her journey through the lens of my camera.
As a parent, there’s an inherent desire to freeze time, to hold onto these fleeting moments just a little while longer. Yet, I’ve come to realize that the beauty of photography lies in its ability to encapsulate a feeling, a memory, a moment in time we can revisit whenever we please.
Through my photographs of Ella, I’ve learned to cherish the present, while eagerly anticipating the future. She’s a constant reminder of life’s inherent beauty, a muse who inspires me to see the world through a different lens.
So here’s to Ella, my sixteen-year-old daughter on the brink of seventeen, and to the countless memories we have yet to create together. May my camera continue to capture the essence of who you are, preserving these precious moments for years to come.
