The Kings | Mississippi Gulf Coast Family Photos

It’s always a creative challenge to do a portrait session at a different time and place than my usuals, so I was looking forward to meeting the Kings for a morning session at the Pascagoula River Audubon Center. Little did I know that I would stumble upon a completely new (to me) spot that made an even better starting point. How cool are these Moss Point murals?!

Don’t worry, we had plenty of time to return to the original plan of exploring PRAC on this beautiful October morning.

Look at these pretty people! I first crossed paths with Nick & Meghann something like 16 years ago, and it felt like the most wonderful time warp to see them all these years later with these sweet kiddos in tow!

We had the best time exploring!

Both flora and fauna were showing off!

Of course we did some climbing and playing in the leaves…

…and rounded things out on the playground.

Thank you so much for letting me document this season of your lives, Kings!

I could squeeze a few more portrait sessions into 2024, so let me know if you want to get in front of my camera next!
