Spending time with this family in their beautiful home was so much fun. I love hanging out in each of the kids rooms where they are comfortable to show me around, tell me cute stories, and capture their every day. They also enjoyed a snack, climbing a tree, and jumping on the couch!
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.
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!!!
Oh, but they are both so young and little and cute and cuddly and exhausting for mom & dad. Kept it easy and comfortable by visiting their house for an in-home session. The kids played around the house; family room, crib, big girl bed, and mommy & daddy's room.
