When most people think about family photos in Destin, FL, their mind immediately goes to warm, Summertime photos. There is a magic to be discovered in coming to Destin, FL during the cooler months. The town of Destin runs slower with fewer people and less traffic including on the beach. Many of these off season months are still warm enough to be able to hang out comfortably on the beach and even swim in the Gulf!
The Pate family and I met in Destin, FL on a cool December day. We ran up and down the shoreline looking for crabs, shells or anything that captured the mind of the young brothers. There was no one on the beach near us and giving us plenty of room to explore.
One of the greatest joys in being a Destin family photographer is meeting families that range in size, culture, race and story. I have known the Pate family for almost twenty years now. Their story is an incredible one. Their friendship for almost two decades now has been one of the sweetest gifts in my life. That friendship now continues in our kids lives – with our two youngest children both having been adopted from the beautiful country of India.
