Lawton family photographer: the Fanellis

Third time’s the charm for Lawton family photos

This past fall, I really embraced the busy season as a Lawton family photographer. I photographed so many families in Lawton, Elgin and Wichita Falls, but this one has really become special to me. Shawn and Julie celebrated their 10 year-anniversary this year, and we had an amazing photo session in their wedding clothes.

But, they wanted a family session as well with their three awesome boys. We planned it a couple of times but the first time it was cloudy, so we rescheduled. Then, Shawn had surgery, so we rescheduled again. Third time was the charm!

Mama wanted some special photos with her boys too, and then she suggested we take them over to the water. We rolled up their pant legs, and they had a blast splashing and playing in the cold lake water. We couldn’t have ended our session on a better note.
