“We are a fun group and have many personalities which will all come out. Trust me – you will never have so much fun shooting a family“. Joy’s introduction was right on the point! I happily captured a collection of fun family photos of the “8 J’s and Veronica”, while matching every word of Joy’s description to each person. 

To better describe the family feel, I want to use the phrase they shared with family and friends for the past Holiday Season: “Love your life and what you’ve been given. Search for your purpose and do it with a sense of gratitude and passion. Dreaming does matter. Laugh often. Appreciate the little things in life and enjoy them. Forgive, it free the soul. Recognize the special people you’ve been blessed to know. Live for today. Enjoy the moment.”

Villa Stonecrest, the family’s vacation home, face the calm water of Taylor Bay; I chose to head directly to the beach, to enjoy the space and freedom of movement offered by the open space

A couple of “formal” shots…

…and the fun began!

Meet Jackie, her social media skills are so perfect that Scooter Braun chose her for the task

Joey, the man of the day (keep scrolling, you will soon know why)

Jake – the GQ guy of the family

Justin – all about his hair, but the dimples are much better

Jordy – don’t be fooled by the angel face, she plays softball for Univ of SC and is stronger than an Ox

Jason – so sweet!

Let’s not forget about Taylor, Jake’s girlfriend

Did I say FUN family photos?!?

The family staged a perfect mannequin challenge…

In the middle of the “movie making”, Joey got down on one knee and proposed to Veronica. Yes!

Despite the overcast day, the sky offered us a glimpse of the sunset
