Family Portrait with Pink Grass & Dogs!

In early November, I joined forces with my friend and photographer, Megan of Megan Elise Photography, for a collaborative photoshoot. After Megan captured beautiful shots of my family when we moved to Florida, we decided to swap and create family portraits for each other. The chosen location, suggested by Megan, was in front of the Mosaic building in Lithia, with a charming paved walkway adorned with blooming pink muhly grass. This session marked my first experience capturing pets, featuring Megan's lovely dogs. Despite the wind, the lighting was perfect, and Megan's daughters posed effortlessly.

The collaboration was a fantastic idea, seamlessly blending professional expertise with our shared love for natural light photography. A week later, Megan reciprocated, capturing incredible photos for our holiday card. Grateful for the exchange, it was a special experience, highlighting the joy of photographers coming together to create memorable moments.

In early November I embarked on a collaborative photography venture with my friend and fellow photographer, Megan of Megan Elise Photography. Megan captured beautiful shots of my family when we first moved to Florida, and this time we decided to ‘swap’ and create family portraits for each other. I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to create this family portrait with pink grass & dogs!

This shoot also marked my first experience capturing the charm of pets, featuring Megan's two lovely dogs.

The entire session flowed smoothly, and I couldn't have been happier with the outcome. Collaborating with Megan on this photography swap was a fantastic idea, blending professional expertise with a shared love for natural light photography.

A week later, Megan returned the favor, capturing incredible photos of my family which we used for our holiday card. It was a special and much-appreciated experience, as it's not often that a photographer gets to step in front of the lens. Grateful for the experience and happy to know a very talented photographer willing to exchange her talents and create something memorable with me.
