It was so fun to do a session for this wonderful family because they have been apart of our life since my husband and I were kids. The oldest daughter, Bethany, was pregnant with her first baby at the same time I was pregnant with little Emma. Our due dates were the same and her little daughter Lucy arrived just 2 days before my daughter Emma. Lauri’s little girl, Myra, was born just a few weeks ago and is just around three weeks old in the pictures.

Their family is now spread out all over the U.S. but they were spending time together over the 4th of July in Tahoe. We went up as a family and spent the day with them on the beach. We were hoping to do beach pictures but were really unsure if we could do them with the 4th of July crowd. We did a few pictures up at the cabin and then ventured down to the beach. When we got there the beach was empty! We had the whole place to ourselves and were able to get some fun family shots. We had a great time with them and watched some very memorable fireworks.

Thank you so much for inviting us up for the day!
