I ❤ Comments!!!
oh… but first I wanted to share this gem from Last night….
Now on to the new stuff
Hello and Good Evening!!
Oh my goodness, can I just say I had a veery busy day today, and to top it all off, I get home to a little guy who refused to let mommy work!
So here we are getting the teaser up at 11pm! I started this at 8! Anywho… he’s fast asleep now hopefully for the night!
Today I met M and A in Naples, for a {You and Me} Engagement Session!
I LOVE THESE!~ They have to be my all-time favorite sessions to do because you really get a chance to know the couple and become friends before their wedding day.
Usually any couple who has shot an engagement session with me prior to their wedding knows what they’re in for and feels like they’re meeting up with an old friend not a stranger so there is no ice to be broken ya know …
I don’t get “those shots” by myself… it does take a little bit of “work” (if you considering being in love and PDA’s work lol)
You would think engaged couples or a bride and groom on their big day wouldn’t mind a kiss in public, or holding hands right???
Let me tell you ladies and gentlemen, I have seen MANY couples that are IN LOVE, that certainly don’t feel it to me.
This couple however, not the case at all!!!
I love people that are all smiles and like to laugh, as well as mix in the serious stuff…
M and A,
Thank you again for a great afternoon… hey that other place just missed out on having great photos they could’ve added to their website… that may have helped them book business in the future! but anywwwwaaays….lol
I am really glad to have met you two, and thank you so much for having a blast today!
I look forward to your wedding at The Edison Home in November! Stalkees, check back… I know you want to 😉
xoxo

Stop worrying about what your getting him for Valentines Day, give him yourself…. in a boudoir session, by Cleopatra Photography….
check out our website to view a few images… go to Galleries and choose Boudoir
Wow, okay everyone here they are. This adoreable couple. The first time I met S was at her Cleopatra boudoir session.
A friend of both of ours had recommended her to me and well as they say, “the rest is history.”
She was going to be giving the photos in an album to her hubby as a surprise. Shy at first she ended up doing amazing at her session… I cant even begin to tell you all how many times I told her she had a rockin body (because you do S!!)
I might just give that crossfit a try… anyhow…
When I got to their home this afternoon, I died when I saw the album, it looked great. Almost a year ago now, I had forgotten how great her session was and was looking forward to doing her maternity shoot. When we first met we talked briefly about “kids in the future” and here we were! The future! She is 32 weeks expecting her first little one… A Girl. I am so happy they are going to become parents. I imagine they’ll make a great mom and dad.
Guys, Thank you so much for welcoming me into your home today!
I felt right at home like I was with old friends…. maybe one day we will be bbqing in the backyard with our kids playing!
Enjoy the photos, and I look forward to seeing that little lamb in the future for her modeling debut!
i heart comments!
xoxo – A
p.s. I literally had to stop myself from any more editing because I wanted every image there was to make an appearance on the blog!
Here’s a big peek…
I’ll start with one of, if not my favorite image of the day…
of course she kept it...
this one is for you S...
Cleopatra Photography thinks daddies are important too...;)
there's another one of him looking at her. Can you blame him? She's glowing!
Hey Everyone!
This is a familiar family! Last year I photographed them for x-mas, and then again earlier this year for little Miss H’s first birthday.
Well little Miss H has hit that golden age of 18 months, and she is showing her true DIVA! (Like my daughter has been for the last 6 mths!)
It took a lot of persuasion but once we got her smiling the pics came out great!
Thank you C for bringing the kids out for some more great photos and….. look! we did get some with all of them looking!!!
Talk soon,
Enjoy your Sneak Peek
Hello stalkers and newbies alike!
If you’ve been following for a while, you are definitely familiar with these two! I first met their mommy J in Walgreens when I was portfolio building almost 2 years ago. Since then we have done quite a few sessions and I look forward to them every time!! They have grown so much and are following direction now which makes their sets of images just that much better!! And I am noticing more and more personality with every session! They even had different hairdo’s this time around which I thought were just to die for!
Their mommy is a yoga instructor so email me if you are interested in getting hooked up with her for some lessons or classes! Daddy is an…. hmmm….. well I can’t remember the name of what he does but he gives epidurals…. yikes! I’m sure a fan of the result but can’t imagine administering them!!!
Anyhow enjoy the many faces of I AND L.
I love twins!
Thanks again guys for squeezing into my available time slot yesterday! I had fun running around with you 4 and I look forward to it again in the future!
Oh and Happy 3rd birthday girls!
Enjoy your sneak peek!
We’ll start off with my favorite from the day….
to die for right???
the "shy" girl....
HUGS!!!!!
the many faces of this little miss cracked me up....
just adoreable.....
last but not least….
the whole gang...
Hi everybody!
and so it begins… the holiday family sessions season that is!!
I am about 3 weeks after baby and things are already picking up! I’ve got 2 weddings in the next 2 weeks, and about 4 family shoots.
I did two back to back today.
This was actually my second shoot of the day… I promise I’m not playing favorites.
It just so happens, I pulled this memory card out first.
I actually can’t wait to get to the second set of photos done either, because they are an all time favorite family of mine! stalkers you know this family well…
This family however is a set of “long” time friends!
I say “long” because in Florida people you know come and go, and it seems like everyone is moving away!!!
so yeah … 3-4 years thats long….
I met K working a few years back at the same mortgage company.
Needless to say, the industry has changed, and so have both of our professions!
I couldn’t be happier about that!=)
We reconnected after having our girls, play-dates are the best!! hahaha
A lot more than just our jobs have changed though. We both have little girls and now this family is expecting their second little lady in the spring!
I love friends with kids! I love all of you without kids too, but my little girl absolutely loves other kids. All the parents out there can relate I’m sure, when I say it’s so much easier for us to hang out, if I know she can also be entertained, and is at a fellow baby proofed house!
The fact that we will both be families of 4 with both “sets” of our kids only about 6 mths apart makes me that much happier.
As an added bonus, this mommy grew up right down the street from me just the next town over!
We always have a blast together, and I truly appreciate her Massachusetts humor!
Here they are, and their little girl G.
Thank you guys again, for such a fun time downtown tonight!
I hope you’ll let me photograph that new little lamb when she is born!
BABIES EVERYWHERE!!!!
and
I. LOVE. IT.
enjoy your sneak peek
look at these eyes!
one of my absolute if not my favorite of the day...
after this photo G said... "I don't hear a baby"... smart little cookie...
Hi Everyone! Here she is…
Miss “S” You may have seen her on the blog before with pic of my little “S”!
They are officially best buds… lol.. As moms me and her mommy joke about the trouble they will get into at 16.
I have actually know her mommy and daddy for a few years now but only recently reconnected after a mishap run-in at an event I was shooting (her hubby happened to be playing at with his band DVS plug plug!) I am so happy we were able to get reconnected because my little girl absolutely loves this little lamb! I can’t wait until her mommy has her little boy due in December!
Then it will be our two girls and our two boys! We joke about having to order a table for 8.
I can hardly believe my little guy is here already!
Anyhow, here are a few sneak peek pics for you all to enjoy!
Keep your eyes open for her baby brother soon!
Hopefully mommy will let me photograph him when he’s brand new!
last but not least the BFF's ❤
Hi Guys!!
Thank you so much for such a fun evening!
I hope you had a great time… I definately did, and can’t wait to photograph your wedding in the spring…
On my b-day I might add, so it’s a double special day!!
Tonight I met K and J at Love Boat Ice cream! A cute litte place I never even knew existed until they suggested it
(and I have been living in Ft. Myers for 8 years!!! how pathetic is that??)
So anyways, what a cute little joint with great treats! I can’t wait to bring my kids there to enjoy the home-made goodies!
We spent about 45 minutes taking in the sights there..lol and then headed down to Fort Myers Beach.
These two are such a cute couple! great smiles and definately know how to turn it on for the camera… my favorite kind of shoots!! I was a little shocked when the previously blonde K showed up with this new number… maybe not new to her but new to me, and I actually had to do a double take to make sure it was her!
Full of smiles and laughs we got some great expressions and I have to say what a great set of photos we got guys!
I had a hard time choosing which ones I wanted to display on the blog seriously!! oh and that light at the end of our Ice cream session was killing it!!!!
I hope you enjoy the pics, and we will be in touch soon!!
