Several months ago a sweet friend of mine asked me if I would photograph her family reunion this summer. For the first time in a long time, her WHOLE family was getting together – all the cousins and the grandchildren would be in one place. And my friend, she is a photographer – and she didn’t want the sole responsibility of photographing the event.
That is one of the downsides to being the photographer in the family; you never get to actually be IN the photos! And, half the time you miss all the socializing of an event because your head is behind a big black box the whole time. 🙂 So of course, I could not turn down her sweet begging, pleading, request and on the day of the big event I headed out to her sister’s new house.
I was blissfully surprised when I discovered her sister lived about a mere 3 miles from me. YAY! 😀
I just love this family. They have been with me as friends and as clients from the beginning of my business. And every time I get to photograph them and their children I have the best time. They are so sweet and hospitable and funny! And they, luckily for me, produce gorgeous children!
This little one was pretty fast, but I did manage to get her to look at me and even smile a little. And what a gorgeous look and smile it was!
The big reason behind the reunion was to celebrate an amazing milestone anniversary. This happy, joyous couple have been married for 40 years!!! 
Aren’t they just adorable?!?
I love catching families playing together. It’s just the sweetest thing!
Daddy was receiving a super sweet kiss.
I would kill for those eyelashes and that creamy skin.
Many many thanks to the O and B families for allowing me the privilege of hanging out with you on such a special day! It was an honor to witness your celebration, and to be able to capture your life!
Thanks for looking!
