It has been awhile since the Coates family was all together, but it happened on Saturday for the first time in 10 years.
We had a great time catching up with all the “kids”, who are adults with successful careers.
The setting was right in their backyard where memories were made. Sarah coordinated the colors which made for a beautiful contrast against the wooded background.
We captured great family pictures with Grandkids, grand dogs, and babies that haven’t arrived.
I am a retired middle school counselor who loves being with people and taking pictures. Once I retired I didn't see the students and their parents on a regular basis. I missed that. I had always enjoyed photographing the kids at their events and so I thought I would offer to take pictures in my spare time. Living in a small town word got around and my students started to graduate from high school, whala! Senior Pictures, then they got engaged, then married and then had families. The perfect timeline for a photographer. Since I started I have been called out of town and have met new people and families. I am never without my camera and my family is glad they aren't always the subjects. I think any picture session should be fun for all. I like to get to know my clients and capture their personalities as well as their smiles.
