If we could give this sweet session a title, it would be “Sugar, Spice, and Everything Nice.” These adorable little girls are truly the heartbeat of their family and completely captured mine! From making wishes on their starfish to lots of snuggles, every moment was filled with laughter, love, and joy. Together, they created memories on that beautiful July evening that will be treasured for generations to come.

A Surprise Engagement Filled with Showers of Blessings | Sunnie + Kyle

July 19, 2026July 20, 2026Leave a comment

Some moments are so perfectly orchestrated that you know they couldn’t have been planned by anyone but God.

Sunnie arrived at Johnson’s Beach believing she was simply celebrating her 30th birthday with a beach photo session. She had no idea that Kyle had something much bigger in mind.

As we arrived, dark clouds rolled in and the rain began to fall. For a few moments, we wondered if the proposal would have to be postponed. But sometimes the greatest blessings come after a little waiting.

We delayed the session just long enough for the rain to pass, and before long the skies began to clear. As we casually walked toward what Sunnie thought was just another photo location, she still hadn’t realized that the beautiful setup waiting ahead was actually for her.

Then came the moment.

Kyle dropped to one knee, asked the question he had been waiting to ask, and Sunnie said “YES!”

As if the moment wasn’t already magical enough, a beautiful rainbow appeared in the sky directly behind them a breathtaking reminder that even after the storms, God’s promises remain faithful. It truly felt like showers of blessings had been poured out over the beginning of their next chapter together. As the rainbow faded and the sky turned into a gorgeous pink, yellow sunset, their beginning was just starting.

From joyful tears to nonstop smiles, every moment was filled with excitement, laughter, and overwhelming love. We are so honored that Kyle trusted the Lashes & Lenses Photography team to help plan and capture such an unforgettable surprise for Sunnie.

Sunnie and Kyle, congratulations on your engagement! Thank you for allowing us to witness one of the most important moments of your lives. We are praying that your marriage is filled with as much joy, hope, and beauty as this incredible evening.

Here’s to forever.

Some gifts become cherished for a lifetime, and that’s exactly what the Robbins family gave the grandparents for Mother’s Day and Father’s Day, a beach session filled with love, laughter, and memories.

One of the sweetest moments came at the end of the evening when Grandpa and Wyatt recreated a photo they had taken together when Wyatt was just a baby. It was a beautiful reminder of how quickly the years pass and how priceless it is to preserve these moments together.

We are so grateful the Robbins family trusted us to capture this special chapter in their lives. These are the kinds of memories that will be treasured for generations to come.

The Elmer Girls Trip

Some birthdays deserve more than a cake—they deserve an unforgettable experience.

Sherri chose to celebrate this special milestone with some of the people who mean the most to her. Joined by her four beautiful daughters, and her four precious granddaughters—with another sweet grandbaby on the way—this all-girls beach getaway was filled with love, laughter, and memories they’ll treasure forever.

The weather certainly kept us on our toes! Throughout the evening, we experienced just about everything the Gulf Coast could offer—soft clouds, dramatic storm skies, a little rain, and finally beautiful sunshine. Each change in the weather created a completely different backdrop, making this session even more unique and reminding us that sometimes the most beautiful moments come when things don’t go exactly as planned.

Happy Birthday, Sherri! Thank you for trusting us to capture such a meaningful chapter in your family’s story. We hope these photographs always bring you back to this incredible trip and the joy of celebrating together. We can’t wait to welcome your newest little blessing to the beach for future family photos!
