Cross Family | Ocean Springs Family Photographer

When your family session is scheduled to happen right after a hurricane comes through, it might mean the spot we planned to use has a huge felled tree blocking the entrance. I am so thankful for clients who trust me enough to roll with the punches and make their session happen as scheduled, even if it looks different than expected. If you’re reading this, you probably know that I was secretly thrilled to be meeting up with the Cross family right on their front porch. :)

I had so much fun hanging out with this sweet family in their element—complete with tree-climbing and stick sword fights—another perk of hurricane destruction, perhaps? ;)

But some of our plans didn’t have to change after all! Once the tide went out, we found relatively mess-free spot on East Beach and had a great time wading and splashing.

Candid coastal portrait perfection!

Thank you, Cross family, for the honor of capturing this precious season of your life! :)
