Dr. Evil is alive and well and living in the Turks & Caicos Islands!

Posted by Andy Mann Posted in General, Portraits |

shieldsfrnt.jpgWe love weddings. They have such emotion, such tradition, and so many “kodak” moments for us to play with and record. But I have to say family photography is also “high on our list” as its  a blank piece of paper - an opportunity to do things we couldn’t at a wedding - or could we?. Another family that lives in the TCI - Sarah and Randy had some relatives and close family visiting. They didn’t want the “traditional beach” pictures (they live right on the beach after all) - they wanted something a little different….


So we took the gang to a very popular local resturant called the “conch shack” (as seen in other posts) - .

All the boys together.

We then moved from the conch shack to Sapodilla Bay - a great beach on the south side of the island that has no hotels on it and is much quieter.  we also brought along with us an underwater housing so we could get some shots “in the water” without any worries of getting the camera wet.

Kellie was also with me and was getting pictures from dry land!

So here I am running/walking backwards getting the whole family running towards the camera.
