2018 Family Session: The Ottingers

December 2, 2018 ~ Jetty Park, Port Canaveral, Florida ~ Family Session: The Ottinger Family 

We had the most beautiful weather at this family session at Jetty Park! The sun streamed through the trees,
the palms and mangroves softly rattled in the breeze, and white clouds parted to show the deepest blue sky.

A cruise ship heralded the beginning of our session and I was like a child all over again watching it go out,
just like I did when I was a little girl growing up a few miles from this very spot!

This session was full of smiles, silliness, cuddles and gentle moments.
The Ottinger family lost their sweet baby boy, Tesher, just moments after his birth earlier in 2018.
I was in China when I got the news and was so broken that I could not attend his memorial service. I ache so much for my dear friends who have mourned, missed and ached for him every moment of every day since.
The Jemmie Photography community prayed so much for this family at the time – thank you, dear friends!!!

Tesher’s Mama wanted some special ways to remember him sprinkled into the session
and they were just beautiful! Tesher, you are so missed and so loved. 

I love the bright joy of the little Ottinger kids and I know their sweetness and light brings the sun to dark days!!
Thank you, Ottinger family, for once again laughing and loving in front of my camera. I love you all!
