Photographing a family's small event is a special treat! I absolutely enjoying hanging out, watching families love on each other. The Braswell family had traveled from different cities and states to all come together at a Mobile Bay house to spend a weekend celebrating a milestone birthday of their beloved mom. It doesn't get any better than fresh crabs, dirty feet and a dock on the bay. I hope they treasure the "fly-on-the-wall" documentary photos from their fun day.
I promise I was coming up the stairs as a quiet houseguest emerging into the early morning light without a camera just to immerse myself in new baby and well rested niece land. We had traveled by plane- landing after their bedtime the night before. It was our first glimpse of their faces in a long time. As soon as I rounded the stairway corner, I saw the incredible sunlight pouring in and couldn't resit. It's alway that photographer fear of, "what I don't get this chance again?". Mmm- go get the camera. Be engaged, but savor the incredible light pouring in, I kept telling myself. It didn't last long, but I love what came of it.
