Playing under the trees, chasing leaves, hiding in a wind-blown tent – all in an afternoon to celebrate this little boy and his family! I loved his goofy smile – all thanks to ticking and chasing from his mom. One year down and many to go.
I have to admit, I was a little winded after this shoot. Being with kids keeps you young!
Among the spanish moss-covered trees, I had the privilege of photographing two beautiful families. I had props and music to make an festive atmosphere, but the thing that brought the most fun was climbing on the trees!
Glad to herald in the season by helping these families remember what is most important to them. Can’t wait to do this again next year!
Imagine an Asian lady, balancing on top a wobbly apple crate, trying to cast lines of pom pom yarn over a tall branch while sweating profusely. It was a good idea in theory, but in reality, a lot of work!
I’ve been thinking all year of a new Christmas Mini Session set-up, and I kept coming to the idea of hanging things off of trees. When I came across photographs utilizing yarn-ball garlands, I thought I could put a Christmas spin on it and bring a little snow to sunny Florida.
So come and play under the trees! Christmas Mini Sessions are just around the corner…

Losco park has a beautiful stretch of old, old trees. There is something about the crawling branches, the close blanket of leaves, and the dotted light that makes me think: fairytale. If anyone is thinking of coming here for a photo session, they would be hard pressed to not be completely charmed.
P.S. This is the first day in two weeks that Simon has agreed to wear a shirt that doesn’t have Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I thought it was a moment to commemorate.
Laura is very creative and decided to surprise her family with the big news by 1. taking an announcement picture, 2. placing the picture in an envelope and mailing it to her family with instructions to open it only at a certain date and time. If I had received that letter, I would have been too curious to comply, but what a memorable way to find out about a new family member.
This was taken on an amber-lit evening at Losco Park. And to match, Laura and Chris were glowing with excitement. Just another 6 months, and they’ll have their little one in their arms.
