As the sun sets and the evening light softens, the professional photographers suddenly appear on the scene. Engagement photos, family photos, senior pictures, and publicity shots can all find a common backdrop on the beach. As a newcomer to this type of scene, I was fascinated as I watched several photographers each pursuing their individual handiwork.
Two of the photographers were working near where I was sitting on the beach. One was with this couple above. Another was working with a family of five. The family of five (with three small children) walked hand in hand at the edge of the water. Getting all five to look at the camera simultaneously while walking seemed to be easier said than done. The photographer's assistant walked in the water alongside the family holding lighting equipment. (Could it be that I was watching and waiting for a big wave to come in and dismantle the process quite suddenly?) The poses, the different lighting methods used, and the excitement of the people involved made for an interesting evening of people watching.
We are fortunate to experience beautiful moments and milestones in our lives. Let us give God thanks and praise for the many blessings!
