Labrys Resort//Surprise Proposal

On a late summer afternoon, I got a call from my child, Maya who was going to spend a couple of days at Labrys resort with their friends, A+E.

I knew that Maya had wanted me to come over and document their visit.

I didn’t know that Ashlyn was planning a surprise proposal for Erica.

I was kind of tired and tried to back out of the visit…that’s when Maya called all panicky and broke the news.

I quickly drove to the resort and told Erica that I was going to get photos of their cute cabin and all of them together at Labrys.

The whole time before I got there Erica had wanted to go for a swim and they wouldn’t let her.

“Tracy took photos of our proposal and took such beautiful photos! She was great at directing us for different poses, and made both of us feel so comfortable. Her turn around time for edits was so quick and very professional.

As a person in the LGBT community it’s important for me to work with someone who would make my fiancé and I feel comfortable, and Tracy did exactly that. She is awesome!”
