Frakes Family


The Frakes family reached out to me just a few short weeks before they were packing up everything they own to move out west. They had been wanting family photos for a while, but like most of working parents with little ones, it's a challenge to squeeze these things into our busy schedules. We agreed to meet somewhere that had fond memories to them so the kids could look back and remember one of their favorite Gainesville places to visit. Ultimately, they decided La Chua Trail on Paynes Prairie. In true Florida summer fashion, it was hot, it was beautiful, and we barely missed the afternoon shower. The children were a dream to photograph following every direction, we were able to get every image and more in just 30 minutes.
