The sweet Pike Family met me in my hometown while I was visiting my family in Michigan. Lacie and I have been following each other on Instagram so it was nice to finally meet in person for their family photoshoot and at one of my very favorite beaches.

The day we decided to meet for the family photoshoot was on Lacie’s birthday. It felt really special to join her and her family in celebration as we walked the beach just as the sun was about to set. It was fun to document their son, Everett explore and play in the water on a late summer day. Towards the end of the evening we popped a bottle of champagne and celebrated Lacie and her next trip around the sun. Thank you for having me. I’m forever grateful for people like you and evenings like this one.
