This family session unfolded in Gulf Shores, Alabama, at the serene Lake Shelby. The warm familiarity between us made the session a joy, as they were returning clients. To add a fresh touch, I proposed the scenic Gulf State Park, which offered a unique backdrop for our photos. The evening blessed us with perfect weather and a stunning sunset casting its glow over Lake Shelby. An unexpected highlight was catching the attention of one of the alligators residing in the tranquil waters.
