but i also love this one in the black and white.  such a vintage feel.  yes.

so when we fell in love with nate and jacqui, they were kind enough to invite us back for their second reception, where jacqui’s gorgeous mom introduced us to the amazing Aqua Groove.    we grabbed a couple shots of the fun and talented crew, and we proudly recommend them for your future events!  julie and boyd and the rest of the crew are as talented on the stage as they are engaging off the stage. 

beautiful erica. powerhouse voice.

jamie isn’t always performing with the band, but since her hubby’s the sax player and her daughter is the bride here, she made a special guest appearance. yes, i said it, that’s the MOM OF THE BRIDE. wowness.

and a special serenade for nate and jacqui, whom we adore.    (it just so happens that rich is also her stepdad.  how delightfully convenient.)

and a couple “promo” shots, just for fun…

for more info on Aqua Groove (and to see if you can nab them for your next event), visit them here.

it’s always a huge honor when your family respects your work enough to refer you to others!  the in-laws are lucky enough to work alongside a lovely and kind staff at Lake Placid Camp and Conference Center, and when they decided to revamp their website, they called us!  we worked hard and took advantage of the lake and its wonderful play-time opportunities with the kids on our last day, and got in a lil’ family visit in the mix!  i’m obsessed with these chairs… nope, with the whole setting.

kick off your shoes and stay awhile.

had some great models. 

the camp is a great place for youth groups and women’s groups and even someone like the pastor who snuck away for a solitary retreat (we promise our paparazzi didn’t intrude…)

the history of the place is amazing.  names like Dewey (as in, the decimal system) are tied into the founding of this campground and even the city of Lake Placid!  the buildings at the heart of the campground are a gorgeous reflection of the artistry of former times.

aaaaaand couldn’t neglect a lil’ sackett behind-the-scenes adventuring.  i may never forgive my poor husband for buying the van without me (he knew what i’d say!!), but i gotta admit it’s come in handy on sessions.  in addition to providing on-the-spot birds-eye-view shooting locations, it makes a great dressing room.  i did NOT say i like it.    oh, and there’s me, bossin’ as usual.  those nice people put up with it!

aaaaand hello, will you LOOK at this place?!

thanks, anthony and the rest of the staff, for inviting us out!  we had a wonderful time and can’t wait to help you show off the beauty of Lake Placid Camp and Conference Center!

hugs… brian and angela (and the crew…)

i love families with lots of kids.  let me rephrase that: i LOVE families with lots of kids!  it makes for good entertainment, a great workout, and most importantly, lots of laughs!  what else is to be expected when you put together cool locations, technical equipment, and fun people!

what a beautiful mom of four boys and one little angel-girl! this one’s going to be “a surprise,” so the family is building anticipation to meet their little one!

when she said the words “we’ll be the family in green and purple,” i grinned ear-to-ear and prayed she wasn’t teasing me.  it’s proof that you don’t have to go with the “classic” black or white to look clean and polished and just downright adorable!

no way could we have made this session without my two amazing toddler-watching, giggle-inducing, light-holding assistants.  and they both shot on this session.  because they teasingly accuse me of stealing their shots, they’ve developed a system whereby whoever grabs the camera, takes a shot of his or her foot to signify, these next rockin’ images are mine.    can i tell you how much i love that while i’m hanging with one or more siblings, one of my own is off creating fun images with the others? 

guys, your family is beautiful.  your boys are gentlemen and sweet-spirited young men.  dad, you’ve got two beautiful women to take care of and it was fun being part of your gorgeous journey as a growing family!  i can’t wait to meet baby this summer.

hugs!  –angela (and brian jr. and anna)

Giggles and coffee… baked goods and Bibles… moms making memories together.  These ladies are astounding to me in their collective vision, passion, drive, gentleness of spirit and wisdom.  They came together to support one another in growing both as home educators and as businesswomen, and I feel like a better woman just being in their company!

There is such beauty in the friendships of women.  Thank you so much Mary and the rest of “the girls,” for allowing me to share your hearts and vision.  You are BEAUTIFUL, and the world is a better place because of you!

Sooooooooooo excited to finally get the word out!  My sweet friends Aline and Jules are throwing a bash at a gorgeous condo on Clearwater Beach to celebrate all the exciting things Loving Legacy Photography has been up to…  Stop by on your way home from work or kick off your shoes and stay for a few.  Come and bring a friend… see what we’ve been up to.  We can’t wait to meet you!

hugs!… angela & brian
