Family Photographer | St. Petersburg, FL

A couple of years ago I met a beautiful woman named, Gloria. I met Gloria through my husband's grandmother, Funny Granny at a meeting for the Salvation Army Women's Auxiliary. Gloria has been dedicating her time to the Salvation Army for quite some time and drives all the way from Dade City to do so. The women of the Women's Auxiliary are truly extraordinary women and I was so excited when Gloria asked me to come out to Dade City to photograph her family. Funny Granny told me before our shoot that Gloria had the most adorable grandkids, but I wasn't prepared for this! How cute are these girls??? They seriously just melted my heart.

I love fun vivid colors in photographs, but sometimes when you remove the color it can tell an entirely different story. This image was a test shot from a series of headshots I had done previously this year. I almost passed by this image, but ended up coming back to it. Once I converted it to black and white, I saw something I hadn’t initially seen. I saw an innocence and purity in her face and eyes. Oh the beauty that black and white can bring out in an image. What do you think?
