Pardo Family 2012 -Family Session

"The family is one of nature's masterpieces."

  ~George Santayana

I love this this quote, and I think it truly encompasses the overall feel of this special family session.

Carla and I have been close friends for many years, and have seen each other through many of life's trials and joys.

This past year has brought on many changes for this family, and I really wanted to do something special for them.

When considering where to shoot their yearly 'family' session, I really felt that the 'light' had to be just right. And as all photographers know, there's no better light then in the evening, just before the sun sets...perfect.

No matter where we set up, it felt as though the light followed and lit them up beautifully & combined with their inner light, I felt a sense of peace and reflection through this session...

Paula & Mike- Fall Wedding 2012

I've known Paula for a few years now, we met through our mutual friend, Steph. In fact, Steph set these two up a few years ago as they were both coming out of unhappy relationships...and guess what?
They 'clicked' instantly! Although I know that blended families can have tough beginnings, they can certainly also have sweet endings.

And that brings us to September. 15, 2012...the big day...

Paula was stunning in her gorgeous flowy dress and I loved the bright green accents that that they incorporated with shoes and ties. Super fun group, full of energy and laughter, it was a great day!

Mike & Paula, congratulations on this new journey- you both deserve happiness and acceptance. I wish you all the best, and I'm grateful to have had the chance to capture your beautiful day.

Enjoy...
