This cracks me up! I was laughing so hard, I cried while processing this session at my desk!

It’s June and that means the “Family Portrait Season” will be going on now until November! Here’s a slideshow of a really fun family who was here with us briefly as they are in the military. You’ll notice that we had that great golden light. Lots of you are starting to call in, and wonder why I want to start shooting at 7:15PM. I know it sounds really late, but trust me! It’s for the best if you want beach portraits! The girls here are ages 9 and 3 and they did great for 1 whole hour between 7-8PM.





So today, I got to spend some time with a really fun family! Chris is in the Army and was home for two weeks from serving in the Middle East. He goes back on Tuesday, so I wanted to rush the editing on this session so they could share this slideshow together.

Now originally, when Jane called me, she told me she was hoping the weather would hold up so that we could go to the beach. (Remember December 2004 when it was 58 degrees a few days before New Year’s Eve?) Unfortunately, we got that snow storm on Thursday, so I called my great friends at the Hotel Viking, and they allowed us to use their hotel! We did brave the cold for a few outside. We’d actually said ‘goodbye’ and were walking to the cars, and then I spotted these great doors and I just had to do a couple in this new spot. (Which I will totally be using again with brides, couples and senior pictures!! You all know I’m constantly on the lookout for great new spots!) So watch for those at the end of the show.

Here’s a session I did back in October. (Little late, I know) Anyway, we had a fun time playing in the leaves and running around. These guys were great to photograph!! Their holiday cards are adorable!!









You all probably remember the beautiful baby girl, Molly, that I photographed a few weeks ago. Here is the rest of the family!! We’re updating the family portraits–I photographed the boys last fall. We found some great light and had a great time at the beach at sunset. Here they are!!
