A beautiful Mother's Day gift!

This session turned out totally different that what we had planned.  We planned on one studio and then one outdoor pose, but when Chante mentioned a walking away portrait on a road, we ended up with some fabulous walking/running shots!  By the way, this session was a surprise Mother's Day gift for the cousins' grandmother (from their two daughters), and what a kind way to honor their mother on Mother's Day!  I have included the clients' favorites for your viewing pleasure.  Enjoy!

If I had known grandchildren would be so much fun...

One of my favorite quotes is, "If I had known grandchildren would be so much fun, I would have had them first!"  How true and fitting as it applies to my dear grandchildren shown below.  This day we went to a park on the Hillsborough River in Tampa to take a few portraits of TreVaughn, Avionnia, and Trinitee.  Their sweet personalities show through these images that we captured during our visit to the park.  Enjoy!

Makayla & Madelyn in the yellow wildflowers

This session was a rush job for a family needing a framed canvas family portrait within a week for their pastoral installation service in Wichita.  After we finished with the family poses, we photographed the girls in several cute outfits before heading outside for shots in the wildflowers.  I knew that this was going to be an easy session because when little Madelyn arrived, she asked me right away what the donkey's name was! :)  The shots below with the horses were not planned and turned out to be the most adorable portraits ever!!!  I've included my favorites from their indoor and outdoor session for your viewing pleasure.  Their family portrait is available for viewing in the photo gallery on our website.
