It has been a real pleasure to capture this beautiful Family Photo Shoot at Sapodilla Bay, Turks & Caicos. When the kids are adorable, the parents are great, the grandparents are playful, the beach is pristine and the sky is amazing, a collection of memorable family pictures is easily created.
The family left the freezing city of Calgary to enjoy a relaxing and sunny vacation at Coconut Beach Villa, in Providenciales. Sapodilla Bay offers shallow and calm water all year around, ideal for the little one, as well as for the grown up that enjoy to sunbathe with the chair right in the ocean.
I have been fortunate to photograph a few same-sex weddings over the years. Although gay weddings are not legally recognized in the Turks and Caicos yet, several same-sex couples have come to the islands and simply married one another in their own terms, celebrating in their own way. Anytime real love manifests itself in two people, I'm honored to be the one chosen to show the world what that looks like.
Jeff and Don celebrated their 20-year anniversary of commitment to each other by getting married in long Bay, Turks and Caicos, on Valentine's Day. Their best friend gladly accepted to be the officiant and her fiancé their witness. What a wonderful day!
This post is different from the others: it does not speak about a wedding nor a family, it does not feature my work, nor the Turks & Caicos Islands. It shares a message of compassion and love, but also violence and heartbreak.
Beautiful Together, by the amazing portrait photographer Tamara Lackey and her husband Steve, work to improve the life of children. The project to fee and shelter Aleppo Orphans touched my heart and want to share it with you.
To give the right credit to this post, "Anniversary pictures Turks & Caicos", I should pass the keyboard to my beautiful couple. McCall is the Southern Smash Founder, a gratitude seeker, a proud momma, a lover of life, and the author of the blog: McCall Dempsey. Her husband, Jordan, is an amazing man, the master of laughters, and THE surprise planner.
To celebrate their 10th anniversary and reclaim their wedding day, Jordan asked Father Orlando at Our Lady of Devine Providence to bless their union. He also contacted me, to photograph the special moment and create a collection of beach pictures to remember this special day forever. Brilliant idea ;-)
A beautiful family vacation in Grace Bay, Turks & Caicos: the perfect way to enjoy wonderful days under the sun with the people we love the most.
When your immediate family does not leave in the same city as you do, spending quality time together is even more important. We appreciate the company, cherish the laughers, remember the old time and marvel at the simple moments. Looking for shells on the beach, trowing stones in the water and getting the feet wet by the ocean waves, never seamed so fun.
It's that time of the here again: WPPI - Wedding and Portrait Photographers International - has officially started! From the quite Turks & Caicos Islands to Las Vegas' madness, with 30.000 photographers from all over the world. Seminars, exhibitors, events, network, print and album competitions
The wedding, the maternity, the family and the Turks and Caicos: a special place to celebrate the power of love and the circle of life.
6 years ago I had the pleasure to photograph Brandy & Chris' beautiful wedding; this week I had the chance to meet their precious child, Mason, and to feel the "bump" that host their baby girl. I love to see my couples "growing up", building a family of their own and expanding their love.
