There are few things more special than capturing the bonds that tie a family together, and when Kristin called me about photographing their three generations together at Saddlebrook Resort I could not have been more excited! This session was particularly meaningful because this lovely family has a special connection with another one of our favorite families. We had the honor of photographing their friends' wedding years ago and their multi-generational family sessions here as well!

Sara's brother has also tied the knot and has a handsome little one of his own. It's incredible to witness the passage of time and the growth of their families.

There are moments in life that we wish we could freeze in time, and for the Mears family, Philippe Park in Safety Harbor, Florida, was a chance to do just that. The last time I had the pleasure of photographing this beautiful family, their young son was just a 5-year-old little boy. Fast forward to today, and while Deborah and Erick look literally the same, he has transformed into a tall and confident middle schooler, embarking on an exciting new chapter of his life.

One of the things I love most about being a photographer is getting to see my clients' beautiful families grow over the years! 13 years ago I photographed Kate and Brandon's wedding at Saddlebrook Resort . Every so often they come back for a little family Florida vacay all together and it literally makes my heart explode that they think of me to capture their family! I saw them in 2012, 2016 and 2023! Such a gorgeous growing family and I LOVE their outfit selections.

Don’t kids just grow up so fast? I always tell mine to stop growing, but they won’t ha!! Tracy told me that her Christmas gift was for her family to get dressed up and do a family portrait session since they hadn’t done one in quite a few years and that it was time since their oldest would be moving out soon. I love planning these sessions and I know how much time and effort it takes to coordinate all the school and activity schedules and choosing outfits but it is so worth it!
