This was my first time meeting the Anondson Family! And I’m thankful to have met them! What a beautiful family. (And fun too!) Don & Mary celebrated their 34th wedding anniversary that day. I always LOVE meeting couples who have been married over 30 years. They are inspiring to me! That’s exactly how God meant marriage to be, “til death do us part”. And you can see the love between these two. It shows in how they respond to each other. It was a privilege to capture them together with their two sons, Donny & Brian, and Donny’s wife, Sam. :) Oh and we can’t forget Bear! Who did very well at posing for pictures!

We met at the Turtle Bay Botanical Gardens. This has got to be my favorite place to shoot at. There are so many gorgeous options here! And the light in the evening is fabulous. And it seems that no matter what season we’re in, it’s still green and beautiful.

“Love is Sweet”. This fun sign that Mary brought was perfect! Especially when Donny & Brian decided to play tug-o-war with it. Haha! But the saying is so true, Love is Sweet! And this family’s love shown all over their faces.
