I love this family! \u00a0 We have so much in common with our kids being about the same ages and Christina and I are heading on a mission trip to Ethiopia in just a few weeks!\u00a0\u00a0 They are such a wonderful loving family and I was overjoyed when Christina called me to capture their family portraits. \u00a0 But then she told me their last family portraits we taken THIRTEEN YEARS AGO! \u00a0That mean big time pressure for me… this would be their first professional pictures since both Max and Clara had been added to the family!\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The day came and God provided us with a beautiful day and an incredible sunset. \u00a0The kids were excited to take pictures prepared to have some fun! \u00a0I loved when I was trying to get the kids to smile and told a joke… everyone laughed and Max encouraged me by saying “Good job Devon, just keep the jokes coming and this shoot will be easy!” \u00a0Lol, what a riot!\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

One really interesting thing about this shoot was that, they knew they wanted the beach, but were open to whichever beach I choose. \u00a0I choose First Landing State park as it has great sunsets. \u00a0Later as we were viewing their images, Christiana told me that the Chesapeake Bay Bridge and Tunnel seen in the background \u00a0of their images, has a very special place in the start of their family. \u00a0When they were first married they traveled that bridge weekly as family and work were on opposite sides. \u00a0To have the bridge in the background of their portraits, 15 years later is pretty memorable… the fact that it happened on accident is just awesome. \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thanks Christina and Frank for creating such an awesome family and allowing ME to create some beautiful images for you to cherish for years to come. \u00a0Let’s just not wait ANOTHER 13 years til we do the next session! \ud83d\ude42\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n
