I’ve been on a roll this summer capturing family portraits, with many of them celebrating significant events such as anniversaries. Like this wonderful family from Iowa, whom were celebrating their parents 50th wedding anniversary at their home on Lake Belle Taine. The parents have owned their property for many, many years, so it was very important and meaningful to have them captured there. I love it when my clients have well maintained and gorgeous properties that we can use for their session. The gravel driveway coming in was gorgeous and winding, which makes for a perfect backdrop, especially when its evening and backlit. The couple just recently re-did their beach area, which made for another great place to capture their families images.

Here are some of their favorites from their summer session.
