I’m very lucky to come from a big family. 20+ cousins on my dad’s side alone. So you can imagine there is quite a huge age range from the oldest (37) to the youngest (14). My cousin Emily is getting ready to graduate from UCF next month with her degree in accounting. She already has an amazing job lined up and isn’t wasting any time. I was really surprised when she called me in January and asked if she could come down with her sister Jenna (also at UCF) for spring break, along with their boyfriends. We had an amazing time. I was flattered that they would choose to spend a couple of days with me and my three kids. One of which was two months old.
We took the opportunity to head to one of my favorite photography spots, The Flamingo Road Nursery, to get some senior portraits of Emily and just to have some fun.
Playing catch up!! Not only are there current sessions to share, but I have a handful from the holidays that never made it to the blog. This is one of them. This family needs no introduction. They are regulars at courtney ortiz photography. I’m watching these two grow up. We shot their Holiday session at Flamingo Road Nursery. Which, by the way, is one of my favorite places to shoot. It’s beautiful and there is plenty of room for the kids to run around. Even now it’s one of my favorite places to go with my own kids.
