Zimmerman Park Family Session

The breeze had stopped making the 40 degree temperatures seem tolerable. Many had already taken shelter from the cold in their cars. The park had cleared. It was now quiet and still. The golden grass glowed from the setting light. As we walked back to the parking lot, time seemed to slow down from the hustle and bustle of our Zimmerman Park family session. I could see the gratitude in Mark and Debbie’s eyes. Mark seemed to be a man full of wisdom, so I listened carefully. He looked at me and said “When you get to be our age, you cherish times like this. You never know what the future will hold.” And THIS is why it’s more than just a picture to me.

It was such a pleasure to capture photos for this beautiful family. I was told they hadn’t ALL been together in 15 years, so it was definitely time for some updated pictures! With family living in different areas of the country they had all come together for an early Christmas and realized pictures were a priority. They had such positive attitudes throughout the whole session even with the cold weather. I loved how they kept the kids warm and entertained by playing Simon says when they weren’t in the pictures. The light, neutral colors that were chosen to wear created a beautiful and timeless look for this session.

Stace, I truly loved meeting your sweet family. It was so nice to see you again and to witness the joy your family has for one another. Thank you for braving the cold to capture these pictures of your time together. I hope you had the opportunity to slow down and embrace the little moments as your father so wisely stated. Thank you again for choosing me to capture your Zimmerman Park family session!
