Extended family...

It is always so nice to meet families that value portraits as a way to keep loved ones close.  I'm sure I've talked before about how important I feel family portraits are to the family unit for building values, a sense of belonging and self confidence, and you can bet I'll be talking about it in future posts- it just makes me so happy to work with families who get it.  This family was such fun in the studio too, the kids were enjoying cousin time and Grandpa's teasing.  I'm sure when they walk past the spot in their homes where these will be displayed, that they will be reminded of the time they spent together.  And the out-takes we got will help with that too (see the images at the bottom :D).
