It's not just pictures!-it's family heirlooms and traditions!
Recently I had a family shoot with a return client. I got to photograph her gorgeous daughter earlier last year for her Senior photos, then she hired me again at the end of the year for an extended family session. I was over the moon happy about that-return clients are the best compliment!!!!
The session went great-it was a little crazy and chaotic, with 10 people and 2 of them under the age of 6. But we all had a great time, laughed a lot, got the images. My sweet client LOVED their images!!! At her in person ordering appointment, she told me about this heirloom wooden chest. It's a gorgeous, carved wooden box, from China from the World War II. It's been handed down from one generation to the next in their family. And guess what?! It is full of family pictures!!! Yes, that's what that chest contains! All their precious memories since WWII.
She told me that her family has always lived in the area and that's why she picked the local nature preserve for her family pictures. Triple Creek Nature Preserve is a gorgeous piece of Old Florida, native plants, she remembers going to fish in the same area growing up. Nowadays it's getting harder and harder to find undisturbed nature with the rapid urbanization of the Tampa Bay area.
I'm so glad that we were able to use this location for her session and give her the images she envisioned for her family. It's such an honor to be able to be part of her family traditions AND now my images are part of the collection of that precious chest from WWII.
THIS is what taking pictures and having family photo sessions is all about!
Do you need a family photographer in the Tampa Bay Area? I would love to be your photographer!
