The Harrises celebrated their 5th wedding anniversary by beginning the day with a photoshoot in Palo Duro Canyon, on the same trail that they exchanged their vows. This sunrise adventure family session was an absolute dream!
First at the canyon gates, we braved what started out as a viciously windy morning, which soon turned into something out of a folk song. The wind calmed and a soft sunrise graced us. Sweet little Jessie identified rocks, birds, and knew the name of the trail we were on. When I asked her to show me how much she loved her mom, she goes “I can’t do that, because I love her as much as the stars.”
It was such a pleasure photographing this gentle love and sweet family during their session. As a Palo Duro Canyon elopement photographer, I love the change of pace that photographing a couple and little ones brings! (For more family portraits inspiration, click here.) But in the meantime, don’t miss a moment from this sunrise adventure family session.
