Wynwood Walls Photoshoot: Jaclyn, Keith, Kylee, Jordy, and Lexi

With every session, I try to take the best photographs of that family that have ever been taken and will ever be taken.  For repeat clients, that means I’m constantly challenging and pushing myself to be better, and for a first time family like this one, I’m setting myself up for a really big challenge next time!  Mom is too, because she nailed her girls' styling with matching tutus and tanks for the twins and alternating colors for older sis.  And I just love that the girls accessorized themselves with those bracelets and necklaces!

I went to High School with Jaclyn and Keith, and we’ve kept in touch via Facebook in recent years.  Keith and I actually grew up around the corner from each other!  It was great to see them and their family and capture their fun and togetherness!  Let's not wait 19 years to see each other again!

Wynwood Walls Photoshoot: Shari and Alicia

I had the pleasure of meeting these lovely ladies for my Valentine's sessions last year, so I was excited when mom called to schedule a Wynwood.  This mommy / daughter duo has so much love for each other, and they're just adorable without even trying!  They'll stop and cheese it up for the camera, but they also share so many delicious moments in between that I just love to capture!

Wynwood Walls Photo Session: Rachel, Brandon, Mallory, and Blake

I absolutely love Wynwood sessions.  The street art is so stimulating and inspiring, and it really tends to bring out the best in people.  This was the first of four sessions there this weekend.  We started out with the boombox, and then 'Loveism', followed by a building with some cool archways and gates, and finished off with some bright color in the shade near where we had parked.  This brother and sister were very sweet with each other, and I was able to capture some great portraits, as well as get them dancing for some great candid shots that are 'So You' for these two!

Ashley and Dylan's 6th Dance Party

These twins celebrated their 6th birthdays last weekend with a dance party! The party was held in a large dance studio, and was led by characters from the Disney Channel Movie The Descendants. They had a blast dancing with scarves and hula hoops, bouncing in a bounce house, and catching candy from a pinata. What a great party!

A Family Portraits

I haven’t photographed at this park in a while, but when mom said she wanted her photos to look ‘wintery’, it was the best choice, since the trees and lake make it look a little less ‘Florida’.  When they got out of the car, dad immediately recognized me from High School, but it took me a little longer to recognize him, since he has a bit more facial hair than he did back then, but what a surprising reunion!  They were dressed perfectly to suit mom’s wintery theme, and mom even brought some ‘Insta-Snow’ to add to the wintery feel.  That’s about the most wintery we can get for 80 degrees in December!
