After portraits at the Arboretum, we cooled off with drinks at the bar at Pappaudeux Seafood Kitchen on Oak Lawn, in Dallas. The Oak Lawn location has a beautiful private dining room called the Wine Room, which perfectly accommodates up to twelve people.

Dawn and Scott treated me like wedding guests. I got my own corsage, a first in my career as a photographer. We all sat down to dinner together and we all chatted and recanted story after story. We were family.
