Not a bad evening in the office when traveling to session via pontoon boat! The Bumgardner family soaked up some golden hour glow during their summer session on Simonton Lake in Elkhart, Indiana!

I love the very sweet bond amongst all of these cousins! They were so eager to have pictures together, all excited to pose and give hugs and strike a fierce pose. They also were big fans of being able to do a silly face with each new grouping of family members in the picture. It definitely made me think of growing up with so many of my cousins, always begging to have sleepovers and play dates, although ours were on a farm and not on a pontoon boat!

Speaking of pontoons….

Beckie, who first reached out to arrange this session, was able to secure permission for us to shoot on a private island area on Simonton. This land was only accessible via a pontoon ride with the whole family. This gave me an opportunity to get to know the family a little bit and snap some candids as we took our time ‘tooning over to our spot!

Seriously, how lucky am I to have an evening like this on my work calendar?!

Thank you, Bumgardners for letting me be apart of your fun family for an evening and welcoming into your little slice of paradise!
