Lovers Key State Park in Bonita Springs, Florida is in my favorite top 5 of the best beaches around!  Adorable Hadleigh just turned ONE and I was so excited to meet her and her family at the beach for their sunset photos!

Bonita Springs is such a pretty spot!  The water is turquoise and the beaches are filled with sugar white sand and seashells!  Kara and Doug came to Naples all the way from Texas!  Doug’s family has a home in Naples, so it gives them the perfect reason to come for a visit!  This time of year is the very best time to visit southwest Florida!  Most of the vacationers have come and gone, the “snowbirds” are heading north which means you will pretty much have the beach all to yourselves!  We saw maybe 5 people total the entire evening!  If you visit the beach from during the holidays or Spring Break, you may not find a spot to put your towel and umbrella. 😉  If possible, I suggest planning your vacation just before our high season hits or just after everyone heads back home!  You will still have great weather just with less people!

Hadleigh’s family was the absolute sweetest and I loved photographing them!  It was her first time in the ocean and Grandma, Grandpa and Uncle Marc came for photos too!  Here are some of my favorites from their recent photo session!
