This night was extra special because it was the day before Gabi would graduate from high school! We’ve known the Navarro family for the last several years and one of the reasons I love them is because Gabi has been one of Kamden’s favorite people! She is so great with kids and helps out with his class at our church. Since he was little he was always excited when she was one of the first people he would get to see and couldn’t wait to have me drop him off so he could play with her.
Summer in our area can mean perfect sunny days where beach time is mandatory or some kind of crazy weather that you are never sure exactly what will happen. This day just happened to be one of those days where we weren’t sure what would happen from one moment to the next and although the wind came up for some of this session, the Navarro family didn’t let it bother them one bit. I love when there are moments that pop up throughout my time with a family that are totally unplanned and perfect and this family had a lot of those. They genuinely love being together and have a lot of fun. When I asked Gabi to tell a story as they were walking around the beach, she didn’t miss a beat and thoroughly entertained everyone, which I’m guessing actually happens a lot, even when there’s not a photo session going on. This family has a huge heart for the community and serve it in so many ways, a lot of those ways are not the front and center stage but behind the scenes, taking care of all the details to make people’s lives better and more enjoyable.
