Candace & Dylans love for the Adriatica Village
Candace is a fellow photographer who hired me to come to Texas and take updated photos of her, her husband, and their two pugs! She knew the perfect location would be the Adriatica Village, a charming small village of apartments and businesses that closely resemble Italy. The cobblestone streets, vibrant architecture, and lush greenery provided an idyllic backdrop for our session.
The Perfect Location
As we arrived at Adriatica Village, I was immediately struck by its beauty. The buildings, painted in warm hues of terracotta and cream, looked like they had been plucked straight from the heart of Tuscany. Candace, with her keen photographer's eye, had chosen the perfect spot for our shoot.
Fun and Laughter
We spent the afternoon laughing and exploring the village. Candace and her husband were playful and full of energy, which made capturing their love and joy a breeze. Their two pugs added an extra layer of fun to the shoot, bounding around and posing with their charming little faces.
Memorable Moments
As I clicked away, we discovered hidden corners of the village that were simply stunning. Each shot told a story—whether it was Candace and her husband sharing a sweet moment or the pugs playfully tugging at each other. The atmosphere was filled with joy, and it felt like we were creating memories that would last a lifetime.
After hours of fun, we wrapped up the session as the sun began to set, casting a golden glow over the village. We reviewed some of the shots together, and Candace's excitement was contagious. It was a day filled with creativity, laughter, and a shared passion for photography.
In the end, the photos captured not just their updated family portraits, but also the essence of their love and the joy of being together. I left Texas with a heart full of warmth, grateful for the opportunity to work with such wonderful people in a breathtaking location.
