thrasher family | a sentimental family photograph

My new favorite family.  They pretty much sealed the deal when they served me cake & coffee after our session.  CAKE and COFFEE!  They won my heart (& my stomach).

I was smitten the second we met at their family’s homestead in Millerville, AL.  They are quite possibly the sweetest, most photogenic family (and I’m not just saying that because they fed me cake…); plus they took me to the most beautiful & sentimental location ever.

I love a good, sappy story and this place is full of them.  The home has been in their family for generations, so they were really excited to be there to have new memories documented in all of the places they so fondly remembered from their own childhood.

The land was absolutely gorgeous and as April showed me around and pointed out all of the spots that held a special place in her heart, I could just feel…something.  I don’t know what, exactly, but it was something special.  I could see how much love they all had for each other & this place brought that out even more.

It’s my favorite.  To photograph a family in a place that holds so much value in their hearts…well, it makes everyone & everything so much more beautiful in front of the lens.  Just look and see…
