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.

Flint Knapping with Jason and Dave

We met Dave through many trips to the Pow-Wow, and Dave's Rock Shop both at the Auburndale Flea Market. Jason has been flint knapping for about 4-5 years now and is primarily self-taught, through trial and error (and YouTube).

This is truly Jason's favorite creative outlet... I'm constantly amazed at the idea of finding a rock, hitting it with an antler billet or another rock, and ending with a near perfect arrow or spear head. Jason seems to do this with the greatest of ease. Dave and I talked Old Florida, snakes and gators, and family, while Jason whips through a few slabs.
