There is nothing better than spending quality time with good friends! Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love meeting new people through photography, but it is really something special when you get to capture beautiful moments for friends that you hold dear to your heart. I met these folks shortly after working with this Mom at St. Joes Women’s, as well as junior league. We are RNs together, and I was so thrilled when she wanted me to document some family photos for her again. A while back, I photographed a newborn session for their daughter. Check it out here! It was great being around these four, and what a pleasure it was to see how much their baby girl has grown!

The Session

A birthday celebration wouldn’t be complete without a few photos to cherish later on! Baby Sheppard just turned a year old, and we did a sunrise family photo session in Tampa to kick off another year of this sweet girl’s life. It couldn’t have been a better day. The weather and lighting were perfect for the occasion, and the family had a genuinely good time together. The birthday girl has the most beautiful eyes! I nearly fainted when she looked in to my camera with those gorgeous features. This family was stunning, and I couldn’t have been happier with how the session turned out! Happy birthday to this one-year-old! I can’t wait to see much this little one grows in the future.
