cape cod family photography

Karyn (third from left, back row) reached out to me about photographing her family as they all gathered in their special place – Gray Gables, here on Cape Cod last weekend. The family was all coming together to celebrate the Queen Cheetah (you need to love Glennon Doyle like I do to understand this reference), Linda (fourth from right, back row), who unbelievably turned 80. Linda…you are rocking 80!! All of Linda’s kids, their spouses & kids, and even the kids’ partners, gathered to celebrate their matriarch.

To commemorate the gathering, something that hadn’t been able to happen in 18 months, Karyn and her brothers wanted to have some family photos taken. Karyn was so warm during our phone conversations and I just knew I was going to enjoy her and her family. I was right!! This family is so lovely…so full of love, so warm and kind and super fun. Here’s a look at some of my favorite moments with these wonderful people.

Karyn’s oldest, Rob, and his sweet gal pal, Cat.

Karyn’s middle son, Nick, and his lovely fiance, Dani. These two are getting married in January and couldn’t be happier about it.

The gang’s all here: (from left to right) Dani, Nick, Brendan, Bud, Morgan, Karyn, Linda, Amy, Kaylyn, Kenzie, Kevin, Josh, Kim, Maddie, Cat and Rob.

Just love the expressions on the gorgeous, happy faces of Linda, Karyn and Amy in this next one…

Lovely Karyn….as warm and wonderful as she looks.

Happiness is these moments….time spent with family, where laughter and love flow freely.

The engaged couple….Nick & Dani. Adorable!

Maddie and Josh have been together for five years and are absolutely lovely….sweet, a little shy, just adorable!

Love this next photo of Maddie…looking just fabulous.

The girls just hanging by the water’s edge…

Thank you Karyn and family for reaching out and for inviting me to document this wonderful gathering. Happiest of birthdays to Linda. May your 80th year be full of more afternoons like this, wonderful, sunny days spent together with those you love most and who love you most.

Big hugs to all,
