Some places hold a lifetime of memories, and for Darlene and Steve’s photo session, I knew exactly where to take them. Growing up, we always launched our boat at Josephine Park on Robert’s Bayou, making frequent stops at Pirate’s Cove for Bushwackers and smash burgers after long days on the water. Just around the bend was Hatcher’s Point, where our friends and family would gather, boats tied together, grilling and laughing until sunset.
