Nothing makes me happier than shooting outdoors. I love it. Doesn’t matter where I am, I feel at home.
Second to that, nothing makes me happier than shooting families that I really like. And I really like this one. There are a few reasons why. Obviously they are strikingly good looking. And they are very gracious and nice. But it is really special to me to photograph extended families — it’s one of my favorite things to do. And I feel so fortunate that I was able to photograph them twice, once with each set of grandparents. To have multi-generational photographs is absolutely priceless. Finally, I just love this mom. This winter, shortly after I left IBM, I drove through some really treacherous weather to get to her house. I got there two hours late and was really out of sorts. I was a little overwhelmed with life and wasn’t really sure everything was going to pull together like I had planned. When I arrived, she made me a latte and we ended up discussing life on a very philosophical level. And I learned so much in about 30 minutes that pretty much upgraded my entire level of thinking about why we are in this world and who we should strive to be. So that meeting was perfect timing in my life.
So with that mouthful out, here are the images from an absolutely wonderful second perfect timing event. Grandparents in town, everyone available, schedules coordinated, kids really happy and simply gorgeous weather!
