Family of Boys! | Des Peres Family Photographer

On Saturday evening, I attended the St. Patrick Center’s Irish Open Dinner Auction where I donated my photography services in the silent auction. The next day I had the privilege to capture a beautiful family who won the silent auction bid of mine at last year’s St. Patrick Center’s fundraiser! Talk about coming full circle. It was so fitting that their session was the day after this year’s event. We didn’t purposely plan it that way, but it was just perfect timing – coinciding with this year’s fundraiser that helps put an end to homelessness.

I’m so happy that the weather cooled off a tiny bit, so that we didn’t all melt away. This family is full of BOYS! Three young men who have a lot of life and share the joys of brotherhood together! How fun is that?! Their mom told some great stories to her boys that would make them break into laughter. I overheard bits and pieces of these stories, but I wish I heard them in entirety because she is  obviously a GREAT storyteller!!! Thanks for the laughs and enjoy the sneak peek!

If you’re not familiar with the work of the St. Patrick Center, check out their website. You’ll be amazed with all they do to help those in need.

Love this area of the historic district of Jekyll Island. Pretty walkways, roads, buildings, trees and scenery. It is like taking a step back in time in many ways. I have been photographing my daughter in this exact location for the last few summers and it never disappoints.

There is something about the ocean in black and white that feels both quiet and dramatic.

In this image from Jekyll Island, the clouds along the horizon almost become their own landscape, while the waves rolling onto shore add movement, texture and depth. A simple beach scene, but one that feels timeless.

What a beautiful way to spend part of summer break - studying, writing papers and taking quizzes while tucked away on Jekyll Island. Not a bad “classroom” at all.

She is heading into her sophomore year at GCSU, and this portrait felt like the perfect way to mark the season - relaxed, confident and surrounded by the timeless beauty of Jekyll Island’s historic district, with live oaks and Spanish moss framing the moment.

Had the best time photographing this beautiful girl on Jekyll Island this past week. 

Her mom dreamed of soft clouds, magical color, gentle ocean waves and a calm evening without too much wind - and Jekyll delivered.

It was the sweetest way to begin the week and such a special reminder that preteen portraits deserve to feel just as meaningful, beautiful and timeless.
