Martinez Family | Bok Tower Gardens | Winter Haven Family Photographer


Nothing thrills me more than to have clients that come back time and again for their family photo sessions. I have known Sonia, Robert, and Gabby since 2010.  We initially met at Heartland Church in Winter Haven, Florida where my husband, Gary, is on staff.  Sonia is also on staff at the church as the database manager.  Her husband Robert has been a letter carrier for the past 15 years and their daughter Gabby is in her junior year of college where she is studying Hospitality Management with a specialization in Restaurant Management and Operations.  I have photographed Gabby twice for a Sweet Sixteen photo session, as well as her senior session in 2021 .  You can view her senior photos here .


Bok Tower Gardens | Family Session | Lake Wales, FL


The Martinez Family chose the enchanting Bok Tower Gardens in Lake Wales for their photo session.  Bok Tower Gardens is a hidden gem located in the heart of Lake Wales, Florida. Known for its gorgeous flower gardens, quiet pathways, and the historic Singing Tower, this charming location offers a stunning backdrop for any type of photography. You can learn more about the history of Bok Tower Gardens here .


It is an absolute joy and honor for me when I get a request for another photo shoot from a previous client.  It feels like working with family where we can let loose and let the good times roll! There’s plenty of laughter and spontaneity and the conversation just flows naturally.  


Enjoy this peek into a session that truly felt like Polk County’s own Garden of Eden!
