Yesterday, I had the pleasure of photographing the Hawkins family at the stunning Evergreen Lake. With its picturesque backdrop of vibrant fall colors, this location was the perfect setting to capture the essence of this dynamic and fun-loving family.
The Hawkins family consists of four outstanding members: Heidi, John, and their two spirited daughters, Grace and Maggie. Grace, who’s about to turn 14, is known for her spunky and sassy personality, while 11-year-old Maggie brings an artsy flair to the mix and also shares that delightful sassiness. The family deeply loves animals, movies, and outdoor adventures, including snowboarding.
As we gathered at Evergreen Lake, the weather was perfect, with the sun shining and the leaves displaying their autumn glory. The lake’s serene waters and the surrounding trees provided a stunning backdrop for our shoot. The Hawkins family was excited and ready to let their personalities shine through in the photos. From the moment we began, the energy was contagious. The girls made it easy to capture genuine smiles and joyful moments. We started with some playful poses, and I quickly discovered that Grace was an absolute natural in front of the camera, and Maggie loved to have fun! Their natural chemistry made my job a breeze. We took a few candid shots in the field by the lake, allowing the girls to express themselves freely. Grace’s spunky spirit shone through in her poses, while Maggie added her sassiness and grew to love being in front of the camera. The family was open to various poses, and we even incorporated some light-hearted moments where the family playfully interacted with each other. Although John mentioned they weren’t up for getting too wet or sandy this time, we found a perfect balance of adventure and comfort.
One of the highlights of the shoot was when we took a moment to capture the family together, showcasing their genuine connection and love for one another. These poses were filled with laughter, and I could see how much they cherished each other. This family truly enjoys spending time together, whether exploring the outdoors or enjoying a movie night at home.
As we wrapped up the shoot, I couldn’t help but feel a deep sense of gratitude for the
opportunity to work with such a warm and loving family. The Hawkins family left the session with smiles, and I’m confident that we captured memories they’ll cherish for years to come. Heidi and John expressed their desire to remember how good they looked and how happy they felt during the session, and I'm proud to say that we achieved that. Until next time, Hawkins family—keep shining brightly!
