Usually around this time of year, I have my vintage truck mini sessions. Unfortunately, the owner sold that truck. Kristina came to the rescue with her 1971 vintage VW Beetle, and let me tell you— I might even like the results more!
Kristina is a talented hairdresser with a keen eye for style, so I’m not surprised that she has a vehicle this classy. I met her through a vintage truck session in Fellsmere, and she was all for recreating it with her Beetle!
The bright orange color contrasted beautifully with the gorgeous oaks of Pura Vida Flower Farm, and it was exactly what we needed to make this session special. Thanks a bunch, Kristina!
As with any family session involving young children, we knew flexibility was key. We had a toddler who was full of curiosity, which meant staying in one place for too long was not an option.
Rather than trying to force this little one to stand still, we embraced it, allowing the session to unfold at the kids’ pace.
This approach meant a lot of movement, but it also meant we captured the most authentic moments—joyful laughter, spontaneous exploration, and the pure, unfiltered wonder of childhood.
They sprinted around the Beetle, played tag, hung on to Dad’s arms, and everything else we could think of! Honestly, it was a blast through-and-through. Our smiles were glued into place!
The relaxed atmosphere of the session allowed Kristina and her family to simply enjoy their time together. Whether they were playing around the Beetle, exploring the flower fields, or sharing a quiet moment together, every interaction was genuine.
I’m so grateful to Kristina and her family for allowing me to capture these special moments, and I look forward to seeing how their story continues to unfold in future sessions.
