Family

Family photos at Kirk Park

We’ve been planning this session since Mother’s Day. Trying to find the perfect time to go to the beach was tricky but it finally happened and it couldn’t have been more perfect. While we were on the beach there was a storm to the north of us where you could see lightening. No more than 10 minutes after we left it started to down pour. Looking through these I bet you couldn’t even tell.

Jerry and Denise are celebrating 45 years of marriage this year and through that they have taught their family to be kind, respectful, and good people. They have always been there for them and their grandkids. You can just see throughout the session that Jerry would do anything for his wife. Even take photos for 45 minutes. It was well worth it and it was a pleasure meeting all of them.
