~ us ~
17 years ago we met.
6 years ago we were married.
And through all that life has given us, we’ve been together ever since…
Yes, we really have been together that long and we are still just as much in love as when we first met…
We have two little girls who are the reason we do everything we do in life. Just when we thought life couldn’t get any better….our girls came into our lives: Aliyah and Helena. I can’t imagine what my life was before my girls…it’s easy to be on the quest for the perfect day when they are around!
Our home in Naples, Florida is also graced by the presence of two rockin dogs: Halley and Charlie. Halley is a giant hound/heinz 57 mix of something or another. She’s as loyal as they come and a fantastic dog. Charlie is our 14-year old Miniature Dachshund. He’s been with us since he was 8-weeks old and has the personality of a communist leader! What a dog!
We are a husband and wife team and together, we document families and people being themselves with the people they love, in environments they love.
Thanks for stopping by!
Your Life. Your Love. Your Art.
Astrid and Rene – Naples wedding photography and lifestyle portraiture
~ this blog ~
We really didn’t want to make yet another photographer’s blog with post after post of images and comments like “Their wedding was fantastic and they were so cool and so much fun to photograph and we loved being a part of their special day”. Don’t get us wrong! We certainly will post new work now and then, but it’s not the sole purpose of this blog.
We totally LOVE what we do: making beautiful images of brides and grooms, moms-to-be and families. It’s evident in our work, it’s evident to our brides and grooms and families and it’s evident in our website.
So our purpose for the blog is something more than just showcasing new work….
We blog for US! Yeah! We want to have fun and post work we love, but we also want to blog about our girls and our dogs and our home and the music we love and the people we love and the art we love and the things we do when we aren’t shooting and of course, some of the things we don’t love so much, too! 
Since blogs are inherently social, we want to share information that is important to us and may benefit our readers as well. Things like better products for our children, a better lifestyle for our girls and topics that can help us become better people overall.
Our hope is that by us blogging about the things we love, you may also love (and hate) some of them as well and they can inspire you or educate us or well, make us all laugh a little, too!
Enjoy….we are always on the search for that perfect day, and they come around pretty frequently here in our little neck of the Naples, Florida woods!
