My recent mini session with the Kross Family at Riverside Park in Vero Beach, FL, was a blast! The Krosses, who are repeat clients and now friends, were such a joy to photograph during my November mini sessions.
We went to Riverside Park, which has stunning views of the Indian River. The park’s diverse scenery, from waterfronts to the grove of oak trees, offered a bunch of opportunities to capture the spirit of the Kross family.
Amanda Brooke and Dan, along with their three wonderful kids, Preston, Logan, and Eva, arrived with their usual infectious enthusiasm. Having worked with them before, I know how much they look forward to photo shoots, and it’s always a pleasure to see them.
Some of the Kross kids are also homeschooled, just like my kiddos. It was so cool to have that in common! To highlight each one, we took some stunning portraits.
Mini sessions go pretty fast, so we had a lot to do in the span of about 15 minutes. Luckily, my daughter Abby took up her camera and joined us for the session. She took some awesome photos! Logan was totally hamming it up for her.
One of the boys had a broken arm, so we had to be creative with our poses so that he was comfortable. Fortunately, he had no trouble goofing off with his siblings!
Despite this minor setback, we were able to capture all sorts of photos that highlighted this family’s togetherness, rather than the injury.
I’d say that we hit the nail on the head! I love how this gallery turned out, and I know they’ll be perfect for social media, printing, and gifting. Amanda Brooke is going to have a hard time choosing which to print!
This mini session with the Kross family was a celebration of family, nature, and the simple joys of life. Their cooperative spirit, combined with the stunning setting of Riverside Park, resulted in photographs that they will treasure for years to come.
I'm so grateful to the Kross family for participating in my mini sessions and for allowing me the honor of capturing these precious moments. Thanks so much for choosing me as your family photographer!
