It started with a birthday surprise…
Mike contacted me about shooting a family session with the whole family; the catch? It was a surprise for his wife’s birthday. How sweet, huh? Oh, it gets better…
They came from Austin…
they came from Boston…
…and she flew in from Michigan.
They secretly gathered around a kitchen table in Katy, TX, waiting for their parents to get home from dinner…
I imagine that Mike got a look similar to this one when Tammy walked into the kitchen and saw all of her kids {and their other halves} smiling at her, ready to wish her a happy birthday.
Way to score MAJOR brownie points, Mike 🙂 
It was so great meeting all of you, and helping to give Tammy in one heck of a birthday surprise. I hope you guys love the photos, and Tammy — HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Chelsea,
We had such a lovely time getting photographed with you. You were so willing to go along with wherever the wind literally blew us and you just made the whole session laid-back and enjoyable. Thank you so much for your wonderful work — we will treasure these beautiful photos for a lifetime! Oh and I'll be sure to look for you should an engagement ever come around, hehe 🙂
All the best wishes to you!
