Recently I had the chance to photograph a long-time friend and her family. I have known Marci since we were both in about first grade — that’s many many years ago. She grew up in Scottville and moved away after high school, landing in the Atlanta, Georgia area. She and her husband Tim and their children try to make it back to the Ludington and Scottville area every year. This year, the top priority was family pictures on the Ludington beach. We had a rough week, though, because there was rain every day of their vacation.

Thanks to their willingness to be flexible in their schedule, we were able to find a short window of opportunity one morning when the sun wasn’t too bright.
