Krenek/Hill Family

Ohhh the Hills and the Kreneks....this family was under the impression that they were going to weird me out. They had ceramic cats dressed in pilgrim clothing, alternate personalities that included an angry dance, and abscessed teeth. But even after some interesting pants malfunctions, I was not fazed. I don't know whether I should be proud that my past experiences with my family had made me impervious to the weirdness of others, but it certainly made this shoot fabulously fun :) Good times folks, good times. Oh and John, don't worry, everyone's late sometimes ;)

L And Company

Megan Leadingham (L to her students and coworkers) and her family are just plain awesome. They were so much fun and we spent to whole time laughing about nonsense and reminding the grown ups to tone down the make out sessions in front of the kids. There is so much love in this family. Not only between Jason and Megan or Jason's parents, but also an unconditional love for the adorable children that complete this family unit.

The Niemyski Family

This was by far one of the easiest shoots ever. I know I say that all the time but I'm dead serious this time. The Niemyski's (who own the school I work at) are some of the silliest, most laid back people I know. They were up for anything and were joking around with each other most of the day. They were great fun to photograph and I was never wanting for candid shots of them just having a good time as a family. The shoot was done in 40 minutes flat and everyone said "gosh, that was easy". Oh also, the picture of Paul brushing hair from Kam's face is one of my favorite shots of the day. It was such a sincere and sweet moment between them. Kam's hand is resting lightly on his knee and he is brushing her face with such gentleness....it was beautiful and I might have got teary eyed when I was editing it.....:)

The Borel Family

Toni is one of most energetic ladies I know. I've worked with her for 2 years now (minus a short absence for her to have the beautiful baby boy you see pictured) and have enjoyed every minute of it. Her family is not only a unit within itself but also an important piece of her extended family that get along wonderfully. There is so much love and pride in the eyes of each of the adults, and so much joy and curiosity exuding from each of the children. They were a joy to photograph.
