the most perfect word to describe Easton. Happy. He was all smiles and giggles at our photoshoot on Sunday. I met Erica, Josh and Easton in Ybor Sunday afternoon for a 1 year session. I can’t believe this little guy will be 1 next week. This family was the very first family I ever photographed back in early 2009. Easton came along and fits right in…what a cutie! Click here for the blog post from May of last year when he was about 3 months. Seriously can’t believe how fast time flies.
Just look at that happy little stud muffin….

ERICA - Girl…have I told you that I love you
The pictures are great, wonderful, awesome….etc,etc!!! Thanks for handling all my quirky requests with such grace. I can’t wait to print these out and frame them!!!
Katey Frost - It’s no surprise, these are gorgeous Rebecca! My favorite is Easton showing off his backside while mommy and daddy smile on the porch behind him. Awesome pics of an awesome family!
Tiffany Cox - Beautiful pictures!! You all look fantastic! Easton is so precious!
Stephanie Mulia - Rebecca you are an AMAZING photographer. I’m a beginner (or less than that if possible) and I almost want to give up after looking at the Payne family photoshoot because I don’t think I could ever be that talented! (Actually I’m inspired but pretty intimidated as well.) They are a beautiful family as it is, but you take the neatest shots! SOO impressed. : )
rebeccadodsonphoto - Thanks for all of the sweet sweet sweet comments, makin’ me blush over here!
Stephanie, I was in the same place you are just last year….looking at other photographer’s work and wanting to give up and jump out the window, ha! Just keep shooting…it will get there, I PROMISE! Feel free the email me with any questions, i’m an open book and am a firm believer in helping each other out
sarah - m-m-m-m that cupcake looks good…..and that last picture? well, you just can’t capture a beautiful family better than that!
