Sarasota Family Photos.
It takes a village. This old African proverb could not ring more true than for this modern day Brady Bunch family. When John first contacted me about doing a family session for him and his kids, I admit to being a tiny bit surprised when he mentioned that his former wife, her husband, and his two kids would be joining us as well. But you guys. Everyone could take a lesson from this family. First and foremost is the love. It’s palpable and obvious. Next is the laughter. It was so much fun hanging out with this gang on a Sunday morning.

We met in Sarasota’s Historic Burns Court and explored this cool neighborhood while snapping some pics of this awesome family. With it’s colorful storefronts and a cool orange building, we managed to get some great Sarasota family photos before we melted from the heat. Thanks for hanging out with me, guys! I loved our time together.

Kudos to John, Cara, and Stephen…the parenting dream team. You guys are doing it right.

If ever there was a village, this is it. Keep on keepin’ on. I’d hang out with y’all any day.

    Parents of seniors tell me the same thing after graduation: "I wish I'd taken more photos."

Not just the big events, the everyday moments too. The messy bedroom. Late-night homework. Running out the door to practice.

Those are the ones you'll miss the most, and they're yours to catch, not mine.

I made a free list of the 27 photo moments worth capturing before graduation. Comment SENIOR and I'll send it straight to your DMs.
