This very special request for a senior session on Thanksgiving weekend was close and dear to my heart. Payten's mom was from New Bern and although home is in the West Va region, the Crystal Coast has had a very important connection for her - The places, the visits, all the vacations with mom and the family... All the memories made.

She asked her father to have a second session in the are she cherishes, nothing fancy - just pictures to celebrate this moment along with her late mom's memory - Covid was not kind to many and she fell victim to this pandemic curse.-

Fort Macon and the Dune area nearby was what she requested. This lovely girl celebrates knowing that her wish was granted and even at a 55 degree temps and the wild wind being present, we pushed through and captured all the images she hoped for. Even family images for her to keep...

She will be attending college, she has been accepted and her dad is so proud... We know mom is too!

This is my WHY!
