Gulf Islands National Seashore Park photos

Clark/Gray | Family Photos in Ocean Springs

Since Eden is growing up and not at Children’s House anymore, I was even more glad this year to hang out with her (and her parents! ;)) during our annual family portrait session in the woods! :)

We switched up locations this year, but luckily Gulf Islands National Seashore offers some climbing opportunities, too!

Paul the Walrus joined us for a few shots. :)

There was so much exploring to do!

We took a little walk to the boat launch…

What great way to end my portrait work for 2023—see you all next year! :)
