I got the call just days before. Poor Becky had been laid up recovering from knee surgery when it suddenly occurred to her she hadn’t hired a photographer to document the momentous occasion of her parent’s 50th wedding anniversary and family reunion at Chico Hot Springs Lodge. Far be it from me to say I’m too busy to be there…after all, 50 years is an incredible accomplishment and family members were coming from as far as Florida to help celebrate! I’m so glad for the opportunity to meet Lowell and his beautiful wife, Gwen celebrating 50 years and counting! Becky was a real sport in tossing her crutches aside and hobbling into place for group portraits. Her doting husband Bob was always at the ready following each shot with a folding chair! Awwww. The grandkids were absolutely delightful and beautiful, I might add! And to top it all off, sweet Bob even made himself late for dinner by helping me search for my lost earring! (I should have known better than to wear my beautiful new chandelier earrings, but they just made me feel so pretty!).
50 years of love and togetherness, 3 children and 8 grandchildren later…
Here are a few more from our session…
A few days later, my husband and I returned to the scene of this session AND my lost earring, metal detector in hand combing every inch of the gravel and grass when along came friendly Chico Maintenance Man, Amos who found it within minutes!!! Just like that! Thanks again, Amos!
