I've had the honor to attend church with Mr. Walter and Mrs. Trudy for the past 5 years and have always admired their leadership and involvement! So, I was super honored when Mr. Walter called asking for a family session! Then, I was over the top with excitement when he told me this session would be a surprise Birthday gift for Mrs. Trudy! Excited and nervous...because I'm really bad at keeping secrets! Haha Simply the fact that Mr. Walter had already secretly arranged for their kids and grandkids to be at Idle Hour Park - the spot where he and Mrs. Trudy met all those years ago - and then was hiring a photographer to capture family portraits she had been wanting for years... well, it's just the kind of sweet you hear from Nicholas Sparks!!
The day ran smoothly and his plan played out perfectly! The kids and grandkids and us photographers all met in the the Idle Hour parking lot awaiting the birthday girl's arrival! And, let me just say, she was definitely surprised! May have even been in shock for the first few minutes. Couldn't believe the kids and grandkids were all there. Couldn't believe pictures were being taken. Couldn't believe the outfit she had on for such an occasion! (Disclaimer: Walter DID tell her to dress up...though, I think her outfit looked GREAT!)
We had such fun capturing large group shots of the whole family, with Trudy excited every time we put them in a new pose, and watching Liam and Lorelei play on the tree stumps, striking poses and telling us all about Pokemon and My Little Pony! I'm so thankful Mr. Walter trusted us with such a special event for such a special Lady! Happy Birthday, Mrs. Trudy! I hope you LOVED your surprise session and that you will LOVE the images we captured!!!!
I hope you enjoyed a glimpse into Mrs. Trudy's beautiful family at her surprise birthday session! Is there someone you would like to surprise with a session? Contact us here. We would love to capture your family making memories!!!
