I have always been a water girl. Send me to the ocean, river, pool, or a lake and I am FILLED to the brim.

Last night I got to fulfill a dream session as I photographed the Berlin family on the sailboat their dad grew up sailing in on Lake Michigan. He had the boat shipped to Lake Travis this summer and I was so excited to get to photograph his family on it with him.

Duncan, his girlfriend Jenn, and his brother took us around the middle of the lake and it was so great to be able to tell them which direction that I wanted the boat facing for every shot. As Duncan said, “I control the sun”. That was a plus!

Do you ever feel like when you are doing something that you love you just get into this genius place? That’s how I felt tonight while shooting this session. Give me water, new friends and adventure and my creativity just starts clicking!

Duncan’s kids were gorgeous and were really fun to work with on this shoot. Tomorrow is their first day of virtual learning and I was thankful that they chose to do the photoshoot with me before their big day!

Duncan, Jenn and Bo- thank you for the incredible evening on the water in your amazing boat!

And thank you, Bo, for the behind the scenes photos of me risking it all for the foot shot!

If you are interested in a Lake Travis adventure family shoot on your boat then contact me for information. I LOVE the water and meeting new people!
