25th wedding anniversary gift

Everyone, meet Katie. She is the beautiful young lady who decided to surprise her mom and dad for their 25th wedding anniversary with a gift of a family portrait. Katie is also my wonderful intern who does a lot of my behind the scenes work. I am a believer in fate, and I found Katie doing a college project on the beach during sunset while photographing another family. We instantly clicked and the rest is history! I love that our paths met this way.

I had such an amazing time getting to know this family. Such fun and laughter all the way through it. Katie's Dad even surprised her mom with a new wedding ring… I felt so honored to be able to witness this. Although her brother Adam was less than comfortable getting his feet sandy and freezing his butt off, he was a good sport about it, and if you ask me, brought the flavor needed to make this THEIR portrait. It truly does capture their soul. I love it! Happy Anniversary!
