Photos allow us to freeze time for just a moment, to remember the beauty of now long after the moment has passed. This is why capturing family moments is so important - because, in the end, it's all about preserving memories and cherishing the instances of happiness that life has to offer.

As a photographer, I always feel incredibly grateful to be able to capture priceless memories for families. When my longtime friend Jenny signed her family up for a session in downtown Tampa, FL, I was ecstatic. Jenny and her husband Evan arrived with their two adorable kids, Sophia and Lucas. The kids truly are best friends, which made capturing candid moments that much easier.
