Maridette, Art + Gabriella / Waves, Sun, and Fun

Crazy laughter. Crazy fun. That’s how I can best describe my time with Maridette and her family for their session in the sun. I’ve known Maridette for a few years now, going back to my scrapbooking days. We’ve stayed connected through the years and I finally (!!) had the opportunity to spend the day with her family. They are HIGH-larious!! I can’t even tell you how much they made me laugh. Stitches and stitches until I was aching with giggles. And in these photos, you can definitely see that this is one family that knows how to have a good time. You see the love, the connection, the sheer joy in each other. They made my job so easy. So, so easy.

Really, they were this adorable the whole day. One of my faves. ♥ Styling and profiling. Work it! They are gorgeous, inside and out.

Dette: I am so proud of everything you’ve accomplished and so happy to call you a friend. As a sister creative, your spirit inspires mine. You guys are rock solid. The connection you and Art have is the kind I hope to have with my own one day. And I see how this connection allows Ella to be the confident, sassy, sweet girl she is. She glows. Thank you, thank you for all your support. It means so very much.
