I spent the last six weeks making Christmas cards and gifts instead of blogging. Take it or leave it, that’s my excuse for being so behind! If you like my facebook page, then you will recognize this family from there, but I loved their pictures so much that I wanted to share them here too! We met on a beautiful afternoon at the beach for our session and didn’t get too chilly until towards the end. Aren’t they lovely? Everyone just relaxed and had fun, especially the youngest (if you can’t tell, she was totally into having her picture taken!).

Side note…this was my first session with my new 5DII…my trusty 5D being resuscitated by Canon at the time. It’s exciting but the transition is not as seamless as it was when I upgraded to the 5D originally. It’s pretty fabulous, though, and I sure didn’t have any issues loving the images we created!

Have a Happy New Year!

look! (Wendy)

This family just shines with their love for each other, and it’s truly a joy to observe! One thing I love about being a photographer is that I can try to document the relationships of a family, not just the appearance. This first picture is, to me, a perfect example (the guys did this totally spontaneously, not at my instigation):

They do have their tough side, too:

And sometimes they a just a little goofy.

But it all starts here:

look! (Jan)

So, last week, I had this delightful family session where everyone was a grownup (or close enough to count). Mainly, that meant that they all listened and did what I asked them, except when they weren’t, which happened more often than you might think. We laughed a lot; at least, I did! I love seeing the other end of the family spectrum–this group includes newlyweds, a college grad starting an exciting job, a high school grad heading for college, and one last high school student to stay home and enjoy being an only child for a little while. I look at how my children are growing and learning and I can’t wait until they are at these ages, so that I can be as proud of them as Jan and Kevin (understandably) are. Well, I can wait, because I don’t want them to be old enough to date and stuff like that, but I know you know what I mean!

I met this sweet family out on Sanibel Island (if you don’t recognize the landmark on your own) while they were here on vacation. We could have asked for better weather, but the rain held off for us (it did rain on me as I was driving home!). Amy is one of the three beautiful daughters and she is the force behind Big Woods Creative. Check out her work–I love the wedding invites with the birch trees and her favorite images of 2009? Woooowwwww. I think my next vacation will be to go visit her.

Amy (and everyone), thank you so much for inviting me to meet your family!
