My Version of a Perfect Family Photo(s) - Tampa Family Photographer, Vacation Photography

Years ago when Jill first contacted me about a family session she was very nervous about her (then 3) year old son cooperating. But he did, and he still does even almost 3 years later! It reminds me of how my session style has evolved over the years. I used to work so hard at the "perfect" family image....and how now "perfect" means something different to me. This collage of images couldn't be more perfect. The hugs, the squeezes, the laughter, the big sister/little sister dynamic, the first steps are all what I love capturing. Add some beautiful blue skies and sunshine and it is my version of PERFECT!

 

 

A Trip to the Zoo: Family Session

Combine a family with kids that attend preschool at the local zoo with a photographer that loves adventure and everyone wins! I joined this family at Lowry Park Zoo in Tampa, Florida on a Saturday afternoon for a journey through the zoo. After a bird landed on Dad’s shoulder we watched the penguins get fed, the giraffes and zebras graze, rode the roller coaster, and ended with yummy ice cream.  Relaxed kids having fun and amazing weather resulted in one of my favorite galleries. 


Family Biking Adventure {Davis Island Photographer}

During a relaxed evening with girlfriends, we discussed my photography business and the direction I wanted to go in. I rambled about "doing" stuff with families rather than just having everyone pose and the example I kept using was biking. Raquel's face brightened and I'm pretty sure she started envisioning her own family doing what they love to do while I tagged along. I am so thankful for that evening as my wonderful friends encouraged me to move down this path. 

Raquel and I ended up scheduling a session which included bikes and beach and rocks and sunsets and lots of adventure.  Thank you Raquel!!!
