The first time I met Shelby and her family was when I held mini sessions to help fund our adoption almost two years ago. I remember that she came out of her car with a huge smile and a declaration that "we don't do cheesy!" With the perfect outfits and children that behaved beautifully, theirs was one of my favorite mini sessions that I photographed that day.

Two years later I couldn't have asked for a better family or a better full session. This time around we spent over an hour at Pleasure House Point in Virginia Beach. It was hot and humid, my car had just stopped turning on, and traffic getting there had been crazy - yet each family member pulled out big smiles and had so much love for each other. Bobby and Shelby have created a beautiful legacy over the last 16 years, a fact which became so evident as the four of them spent time together...
