Wesley Chapel Family session | Boho family session | Wesley Chapel Photographer

Rizzo’s family is one of my favorites so far… This spot is actually in a neighborhood, great example that we dont need to go to the most fancy or trendy location to have awesome photos.

This beautiful family showed with a grogeous boho style in olives huges. Olive is one if the most trendy color palette for family sessions in this area, Florida has so many beautiful parks and open spaces that we love to do sessions in natural spots like this one.

This small spot had the perfect lighting for this family session, it was hot and humid.. but this family rocked their session showing their best smiles and hanging out with us for 45 minutes!!

Later we will be doing mini Holiday sessions in this same spots in Wesley Chapel, because it also has a lake behind that its SOOO PERFECT for Christmas family portraits, stay tuned for more info soon!

Wesley Chapel, Fl

I love to have parts during the session… first I try to do portraits of all the family members together, then I try to get each parent with the kids and with each of them… this bring a better and more complete gallery.

Also, each parent love to have a moment with his/her kids. Check these next set of photographs.

IF you have a session before sunset, try to prepare your kids, talk to them about the session. Talk to them about HOW great is going to be, the amazing pictures you will have to decor your home, etc. Talk about the session as something FUN, NICE and ENJOYABLE… so they fill it before the session start.

Also, you can think about bringing snacks, water, some toys or treats. Let them have a great rest one night before and give them a good meal before the session. This will help them to enjoy the moment and have a wonderful time too.
