What do you do when the kids are scattered about the country and mom has a milestone birthday coming up? Gather everyone and convene in the spot where the family has vacationed for 40+ years, of course. Oh, and place a special order for absolutely perfect weather because, well, it’s for mom.

A regular on a plethora of top beach destination lists, this beach portrait session proved why the Destin area was the perfect choice for this boisterous family’s celebration.

We’re pretty sure that, if he wasn’t before, Don Jones surely must be his mom’s favorite now, because he spearheaded the family beach portrait session that delighted his parents and preserved some of the wonderful memories of this priceless weekend. From the dinner to the birthday party to the days full of the fantastic weather the Emerald Coast is known for, Nancy Jones had a vacation she’ll not soon forget. And from the laughter that we captured in nearly every other photo in the final set, it looked like everyone else thoroughly enjoyed themselves, as well.

The Jones boys and their families traveled from La Jolla, Laguna Beach, Los Angeles, Cincinnati, Johnson City, and Birmingham to be with their parents. Destin delivered with a breathtaking backdrop of pristine beaches and stunning sunsets.

“Hopefully, you can see from the pictures how blessed our lives have been,” Don said, “and how grateful we were to spend this time together and celebrate the gracious and amazing life of Nancy Jones.”

You’ll also see from the pictures of some of the goofing around that went on, boys never really grow up. Ryan, our studio owner, is one of four boys himself, so he was ready for anything they threw at him. “Ryan had the perfect disposition for my family,” Don wrote.

We hope you enjoy these photos as much as we enjoyed shooting them. We’ve talked with dozens of families over the last couple of weeks who are all booking their family photo shoots for the summer and even the fall. Check with your siblings this weekend and then give us a call or contact us here and let’s get your beach portrait session on the schedule. Your mom will love you for it!
