Chelsea was so prepared! She emailed me in December to check availability for a family session in August! So we were all set for months... and then it rained. And then it rained again. But finally we had a beautiful - actually, perfect - evening. The Dubeys came from Michigan to Hilton Head to celebrate Pam and Jay's 40th wedding anniversary together, and check them out!

They did a great job with their photo session wardrobe. This is what you might call "picture perfect." Everyone is dressed in a coordinated color palette. They don't "match"; they "blend." We have a nice mix of solids and patterns (different scales of stripes, plaids, and batik) that all work well together. What's even better is that each person looks at ease, like this is what they might wear, even if it wasn't "picture day."

So although the weather gave us some fits, in the end, we had a gorgeous summer evening, and the Dubey family's planning efforts resulted in some lovely shots. 

Good job, Pam and Jay! Happy 40th, and best wishes for many more!
