Terri Smith Photo

She lived in Georgia and he lived in Alaska.  They fell hard for each other and the Southern Belle packed her crinolines and pantaloons and moved to Alaska to be with her man! What an adventure she signed up for.

Not only does she get gorgeous views of the mountains when she walks out her front door but she has to be on the look out for foraging bears on her daily six mile run.  There’s an incentive to be a fast runner.

And what a man she has in Steve.

Steve not only looks pretty fly in his tweed cap but he knows how to sweep a girl off her feet.  8,000 feet to be exact.  He flies his own plane!  Their first date was a plane date.

Cory, Steve’s very handsome son came along for the fun. Steve, safely landed his float plane next to a rock formation on a huge lake.  We were surrounded by mountains and a huge glacier.  What more could a photographer ask for.  Unbelievable scenery, good looking people and gorgeous weather. These two are always laughing and kidding each other.  I asked Lesley when did she realize that Steve was the one.  Her reply… “When he fought for me.”

Ahhhh, Steve was not going to let a little distance keep them apart.

The family that jumps together while on  huge rock in the middle of lake surrounded by mountains and a huge glacier and wearing matching hats, stays together.
