The "S" Family Session

I just love, love, love this family! I’ve been photographing Lauren and Jose’s family since 2016 and it truly brings me joy to see them every year and visit with their adorable little boys. We decided to have the session again in their backyard - which is perfect because it’s a place that is comfortable for everyone - and it makes for such a relaxing time.

Diana + Chad Beach Maternity Session

So, Diana and Chad contacted me this summer with the wonderful news that they are expecting again. I have photographed their first two maternity sessions - the first one in the wildflower field and the second at the Kanapaha Botanical Gardens. We wanted to go somewhere new for this session and thought the beach would be a great idea. It would get us out of Gainesville and out in the fresh seabreeze air!
