Family Beach Portrait, Captiva Island

The Roettger Family Beach Portrait, Captiva

I had the pleasure of taking the Roettger family beach portrait on Captiva Island. You can tell we had a great sunset:)

It's funny but being that we are in the tropics, the weather is very changeable. In the summer months we have rain everyday, very short spells mainly but daily rain never the less. The weather forecast looks something like this: 90 degrees, sunshine from sunrise to 3 PM then showers in the pm. Now you could copy and paste that forecast for six months of the year.

The challenging part for me as a photographer is that it can be raining cats and dogs at the studio and half a mile down the road it could be bright sunshine. How do I combat this? With the photographers best friend... webcams! I have a whole folder of links to webcams on my iphone that I use on a daily basis. The webcams don't lie! Give it a try.

Back to the Roettger Family, we had a great family photo shoot, everything turned out fantastic. They came to our viewing studio and selected their pictures and ordered a stunning fine art gallery wrap collection of five images. They have since been shipped out and delivered by our trusty partners, UPS.  I then received an amazing letter that read as follows:

 "

I received my pictures yesterday and I LOVE THEM!  I was very nervous spending so much money, but it certainly turned out to be the right choice.

Thanks you for your service, your talent, and your expertise .  You made our night so much fun, but most importantly, you made memories and keepsakes we will treasure forever!"

Thank you Mrs Roettger and family for trusting us to be your photographers, it's people like you that make this job so rewarding and fulfilling. Hopefully we will see you next year for your family beach portrait.
