Like the Wind...{Tampa Vacation Beach}

We accomplished this session in a short amount of time.....it was beautiful weather with a gorgeous sky and of course an amazing family! Between the purple flowering bushes, mangroves, rocks and sand we used lots of textures in this family session.

Swing here, swing there, swing everywhere! {St Pete Photographer}

What do you do with an active toddler who loves to explore....you choose a location with room to run and play and swing and jump. Bring a ball, bubbles and include a playground and it really is possible to keep him happy for 2 hours! Check out the pictures...we had fun all the way to the end! So many times I hear from interested clients that they don't think their kids can handle a full session and they want something shorter. I promise, we will plan something that will have your kids laughing, smiling, running, playing and honestly, asking for more. And I will capture your family being YOUR FAMILY.  The biggest compliment I receive is from the children...sometimes they ask if I can come to dinner with them, or they ask when will we do it again, and sometimes they hold my hand on the way back to the car.

Family of Five Fun! Tampa Family Photographer

These girls got some great outdoor activity time when we met up at Curtis Hixon Park in Tampa for their family photography session. We played silly chase games, ran up and down hills, jumped on grass squares...all of which helped me capture them as they are right now! We then headed for ice cream and captured them being silly with mommy & daddy. I'll be meeting their little sister very soon!! 

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!
