Since forever

My friend since forever was in town with her family and I thought we were simply getting together for lunch when the funniest thing happened. We were walking and chatting, then suddenly, I noticed silence and realized I was walking by myself.

I hear “Hey did you bring your camera???....” so I look back and off to the right is their family all posed and smiling…

If I didn’t know her better, I’d think this was planned.

Kidding! Sharon, Joe and boys were in town all the way from Utah so of course I had to photograph them. Sharon’s one of those moms that keeps the walls of their home updated with the most current photos of her children… something I wish I would take more time doing with my own home.

These kids are professionals at being in front of the camera!

Their yearly tradition

I’ve had the pleasure of photographing LaShae and Joe’s family for their holiday portraits for the last few years now and I just love their family. Each time I see them, it seems like the kids have grown a foot taller.

While shooting, LaShae mentioned that she and Joe have taken portraits every Christmas since they started dating. With their 10th anniversary approaching, I just had to get some shots of just the 2 of them….
