A little bit of a backstory about yours truly. I actually grew up in the Port Huron Area. I graduated high school from a small Christian school in the area, and went to school with Justin all the way from middle school until we graduated. In a large school, that may not seem like a big deal. However, when your graduating class consists of 8 people (seriously. eight.) well, you tend to really get to know a person. We’ve kept in contact throughout the past fourteen few years since we graduated high school, mostly through facebook in recent years. I have spoken to his wife Britany quite a few times via messenger, and she seemed like a beautiful person, inside and out, and I could see why she and Justin meshed as a couple. Their oldest daughter Lilian is actually only a few weeks younger than my oldest daughter, Vivien, so we followed each other’s lives, albeit long distance, for quite a few years.
Upon moving back to the Blue Water Area in Michigan and relocating my photography business along with my family, Britany contacted me to set up a family photo session to capture her family. I was happy to drive down to Macomb Michigan and photograph their family session inside the beautiful Stony Creek Metropark in Shelby Township. When they walked up, I gave them both a big hug and told Britany it was like I was meeting up with two old friends, since we’ve been a part of each other’s family lives for so long online.
I loved being able to see Justin evolve from high-school friend, to family guy, and getting to know his three girls that play such an important role in his life.
Are you in the St. Clair or Macomb County area in Michigan and looking to have some updated family photos done? Send me an email- I’d love to discuss some options with you!
