My firstborn's family portraits

It is with sheer delight to show off my dearest firstborn's family portraits taken while recently spending a week with them in Florida.  My daughter Angela asked me to photograph her wedding held on her fiance's birthday on April 10.  We were able during that busy week of wedding preparation to take photographs of the family at a beautiful park in Tampa, Florida.  I am now the proud grandmother of three additional darling grandchildren and in August I will become a great grandmother thanks to my first grandchild Victoria.  The portraits of Angela's family are shown below in order of youngest to eldest then ending with a few group poses.  Enjoy!

A family of six in camouflage

So I get this email from this client that wants camo or hunter theme images.  Lo and behold I have this background that I ordered years ago that I thought I would hardly use and it has perfect camouflage colors in it.  We put off the session for a few days hoping for warmer weather but it was still so cold outside that the children tried their best not to look cold!!!  They asked if they could bring their pet German Shepherd along and we included him for the outdoor images. The outdoor session is at the edge of our property along an old stone fence that must be at least a hundred years old! My favorite is the indoor image of this beautiful family of six and I have included it along with two other outdoor images for you to enjoy!

A cool, calm, and collective 2013 senior guy

We provide each high school senior that we photograph with a questionnaire called "Tell Your Story."  In it, we ask them questions about themselves so we can get to know them.  The last question is, What would you like your portraits to say about you?  David answered with, "that I am a cool, calm, and collective guy."  I would say that we managed to get that look from the portraits of David that we took today. I have included my favorites from the outdoor session for your viewing pleasure.... :)
