This past fall we traveled to Michigan to photograph one of my husband's dear high school friend's wedding. You may have seen the blog about their wedding. Dave has a few friends that still live in Michigan. They all grew up together through their high school years. We have been able to stay in touch with some of those friends through the years. 

While there we visited with Cindy and Mark. Thanks guys for such a fantastic evening! The food, your sons, the firepit, and your friends were awesome. But even more was our time spent with you! I think we all should make a pact to live in the same retirement community one day. On second thought, they may throw us all out for misbehaving! ;) I wished we would have had more time to visit, and I hope that you can come and see us sometime!

We also took some time to get family pictures for them. The backdrop was their very own property of their home. Now, I like that idea. Years ago for our daughter's senior pictures we had her photographed here at our home, and around in the yard for part of the session. To this day they are some of my dearest photos of her. It brings me back to that day, and makes it even more special because they were taken at our home. I hope that Cindy and Mark will feel the same way about their portraits as they look at them and think on them through the years....to know that they were taken at their home.
