Amidst the beauty of Pulaski County, Missouri, I had the pleasure of photographing the Bench family, Tommy and Kaila, along with their children. The location of their choice held deep sentimental value, as it was the place where they exchanged vows – a pristine Ozark stream. The clear waters and powerful bluffs provided the perfect canvas for this family's story. Nestled in the heart of the Ozarks, it was a clear fall morning, the air was crisp with a hint of nostalgia. It was the perfect setting to capture the essence of family, love, and nature's beauty in its purest form.
What truly made this photo session remarkable was the Bench family itself. Bursting with warmth, laughter, and an abundance of personality, Tommy, Kaila, and their children radiated joy and love. The session was a delightful mix of candid moments, sweet embraces, and playful antics. Their genuine affection for each other and the natural environment made every photograph a testament to the spirit of family. Whether it was capturing their laughter echoing by the stream, the tender moments shared, or the exuberance of their children, each frame spoke volumes about the beauty of their bonds. Photographing the Bench family was an absolute pleasure.
