I am so glad this sweet family moved back to the area. I was lucky enough to photograph their oldest a LONG time ago for her newborn photos. My, has she changed since then and I mean, come on, now they have three more kiddos and it doesn’t get any sweeter than that! Their mama also was the best “big boy sitter” as the boys called her back then. She helped me as I was getting into business and had kids not school aged at that point. She would take them to the park, the museum and was the BEST! Now, she is the best mama, and I am not surprised at all! So, here is a morning session we did at my favorite Tampa flower field.

This family is one of my favorites and after years of knowing them, I finally got them in front of my camera. What a big milestone as this guy gets ready to graduate!! I am always thrilled when senior pictures include a portion for family photos, too. As a Plant City senior photographer one of the most requested locations is Medard Park. It is always gorgeous and allowed so much room to bring his baby, er, car with! Having something meaningful at your senior pictures can often time relax seniors more. Especially guys who many not be as used to taking selfies and photos as some of the senior girls I photograph.

If you are looking for famlily photos or senior portraits this is absolutely one of my favorite locations with the variety we get in a small space! I loved that there were some festive wreaths up by the time we got our session in this fall, too. This location is always up for Riverview mini-sessions each fall and sometimes even in the spring if the wildflowers pop up!

Or, you can set up your own full family or senior portrait session here anytime!

I just love when a night works out with perfect weather, the perfect light, the perfect family and the perfect outfits. I work hard with clients to help guide them to be themselves in photos and still bring style that fits them and works well in camera. This family probably didn’t need much help in the style departement though at all. They layered the most perfect textures and variety of fabrics in all neutrals. Families, save these photos for a neutral palette guide for your family’s beach photos in neutrals. This is a great “what to wear” guide for neutral clothing options for your family photo session at the beach!

This family photo session was the one that almost didn't happen this year. A hurricane made us change our plans from Palm Island to Tampa, and then another hurricane changed our date again, but it was like the stars aligned for this South Tampa family photographer session at Davis Island Beach. The light here is so special this time of year, it worked perfectly with their neutral wardrobe palatte.
