Michelle & Family | Okaloosa Island, Florida Photographer

Chatting with Michelle and her sweet, bubbly family about traveling with an RV makes me want to invest in one!! I grew up with my grandparents owning an RV, and some of my all-time FAVORITE childhood memories involved traveling around the US. πŸ™‚ With the craziness going on right now, there wasn’t a better time for Michelle and her family to escape. They gathered everyone in the RV and hit the road to spend some time on the Gulf Coast! While they were visiting Destin/Okaloosa IslandΒ in Florida, Michelle wanted to have a photographer document her fun little family. I was excited when everything fell into place because little did I know that this family came with a BIG personality!!! πŸ™‚

It wasn’t long after their arrival when Michelle’s little ones brought out their charm, wanting to show off all of their cool moves. πŸ™‚ And I was READY for all of the cool moves!!! Haha! Honestly, they just made it that much easier for me to capture their personalities during our short time. HA! But I can tell that they are naturally playful, easy-going, and loving even without a camera around. πŸ™‚ And what made this photoshoot extra special was having their grandparents a part of it! Not only did they come for the vacation, but they also participated in the photos. πŸ™‚ Something the kids will forever cherish! I hope they come back to visit the Gulf Coast or have another fun RV adventure planned for the near future!

Thank You!!!

Thank you, Michelle and family, for taking the time from your trip to document these precious memories. <3 So special to cherish vacation time together and have it captured so you all never forget!! I loved getting to know you all during my short time with you, and I hope to cross paths again in the future!!! πŸ™‚
