A Family by Design

Recently I had the great pleasure of photographing David, Leslie, Leila, Craig, Deena, Miles and Tessie at Nobska Beach. Two families that consider themselves one - they've been vacationing together in Woods Hole for about 18 years. The kids were little and played on Nobska Beach year after year. Not only do they vacation together but spend holidays, birthdays, just regular days enjoying each other's company. David & Leslie were high school sweethearts. You could tell they still truly enjoy each other's company. And their daughter, Leila, so sweet and beautiful. She will be off to college this September, Mt. Holyoke as a matter of fact, to study environmental science. She also loves photography and will study that too! You could feel the love between Craig & Deena too. Craig loves laughing Deena - they will miss their son Miles, who is handsome and kind, when he goes off to college in Ohio. Can't you tell Mom loves her boy! Miles will be studying English once he gets to college. There's a story about the beer can too. It has been accompanying them on vacation and other places for a long, long time. It was a wonderful session and they all were such great fun. The session ended with them singing - which always brings joy to my heart (I can't sing but do anyway)! I won't soon forget this amazing family. They are filled with love for each other, you could feel it! Thank you all for allowing me to share in this special moment in time.
