this destination session was my very first time visiting deep creek lake, and what a stunning spot it is! the views were breathtaking, but the extended family i got to know during this visit was the real highlight for me. grandma charlotte planned this session to celebrate a milestone birthday she reached this year, and she wanted to capture the memories made during the adventurous reunion with her 5 boys and their families. charlotte, a deeply inspiring woman, raised these five boys into fine young men on her own. she brought domestic violence out from behind closed doors of affluent households and into headlines and onto network news. she became a leader in domestic violence awareness, and her bravery inspired the Violence Against Women Act of 1994. i’m honored to have taken the F family portrait and fortunate to have had the opportunity to get to know this strong, fun-loving, and positive family. a testament to how lively and amusing this bunch is, they created their own instagram hashtag for their vacay phone pics with tons of hilarious and adorable moments! and most who know me, know i’m a tiny bit addicted to IG 🙂
