Crosland + Koenig Family Photo Session

Jada contacted me back in December about doing a Family Photo Session for her, Troy and their boys, and I was excited to find out when and where we could set it up.  It seemed appropriate to me, since I photographed Jada's daughter Tiffany and her children at Lake Parker Park (you might remember this post) that we would use this beautiful backdrop again for their session. 

 

I think I am in love with this location because it helps people relax and really be themselves (which is my #1 goal in photography) - and as you can see, after the boys relaxed and realized "this doesn't suck," they really let loose and show off.  Jada and Troy were a photographer's dream.  I rarely had to direct them, just naturally loving and sweet with one another.

Wedding: Danielle and Kyle - Part 2

Nestled in Anna Maria Island lies St. Mary, Star of the Sea, where Danielle and Kyle vowed forever before their family and friends.  I can't wait to see how their story unfolds!

(Notice something missing?  Apparently the Father never announced for Kyle to "kiss the bride" - so they did it without notice, and of course, I missed it.  Later Danielle's mom said she saw my face fall when I saw them kiss WITHOUT my camera in front of my face.  I'm so grateful for an easy-going bride! <3 )

We literally walked across the street from the church to access the pristine white sand beach.

Kyle and Danielle told me about the Banyan trees long before the wedding day, but I was in awe of their mass and beauty.  I'm so happy they chose to get photos here.
