It was so fun and easy to hang out with these two during our shoot together in the beautiful botanical gardens. The day was absolutely perfect for a portrait session outside. It had been my first time visiting the Fairchild Tropical Botanical Gardens, ( weird I know,

A while ago I hosted an Instagram giveaway and offered two families a session with me of their liking. Melissa and Alex were one of the couples that won the prize and because they were pregnant we scheduled their maternity session early on this month. When planning our session, Melissa mentioned to me that she wanted that sunrise/sunset glow… and that taking pictures at the Bill Baggs Cape Florida Park would fit right into her vision of what she wanted for her maternity photos. A mom with a clear vision, I loved it.
