Family session in the forest {Ponte Vedra and Jacksonville family photographer}

This is the 3rd time I get to photograph Putnam family! It's been a lot of fun seeing Peyton grow and get more independent every time I see her!

This time we switched up the location and I found a little forest in Jacksonville that has the best lighting ever - aren't those sun rays glowing through the tall pine trees just gorgeous?!

I also used my floral hoop photo prop for the first time during this session - ideally it's meant to be used at the beach but it looked pretty good out there as well :)
